Oh you must be referring to this Corp Center for Advanced Studies | Corporation | zKillboard
Oh yeah real focus oriented I see… a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Easier way of saying it “Jack of all trades, Master of NONE!” (Not even mining 
)
You kinda missed my point while quoting only a small portion of my post! thx

Um. It was the only part of your post I wanted to address? Not gonna reply point by point to an entire long post when I just wanted to say one thing about one part of it.
IOW, wasn’t trying to disprove “your point”, you can relax now. Just wanted to mention CAS to those who might not know about it since what you were describing IS basically CAS. </disclaimer: ex-CAS, still occasionally flies in NPSI nullsec/lowsec PVP fleets they run>
I just returned to Eve after reading the Kotaku article about players who quit after the first week. In 2016, I was that guy. Tried figuring things out, did a little mining, queued up a bunch of skills, and I was out.
The article convinced me to give it another shot, and I was lucky this time to have found a couple of friends that were also getting back into it at the same time. They were much more adept to the game than I was/am, so I needed to catch up quick to hang with them.
I happened upon the 1,000,000 SP by chance. I don’t remember it being marketed to me. It was a huge help and I think they meant it for players like me as well as those just starting out. I can fly a BC now and hang with my friends in L4 missions. I’m happy they did it and enjoying being back.

I was hoping that the skills or be able to be affordable at the time of a sector and of the season pass June to July. And going into August
It sounds to me like you’re seeing it through only one lens. Respectfully, consider seeing it through their eyes.
I’m a veteran player myself, and I’ve used the DLC to round out my skills on alts. Multiboxers will find this helpful for their alts, I would imagine. A million skill points is nothing to sneeze at, but for the whatever% of pilots who actually have 300 million SP, it sounds to me like you should consider that these cases represent 1/300th (or less) of your own SP. I’ve only slightly north of 100M so in one way it means more to me than to you, and I tell you, the sky will not fall, and I hope we can look back on this and have a good laugh.

The second way they survive attacks is to be able to align and warp as quickly as possible. This is where skills such as Evasive Maneuvering and Inertial Stabilizers in the low slots come into play. this essentially makes you less of a target because it gives gankers less time to scan your ship down and decide whether you are worth shooting or not. There are other things too such as warp core stabilizers
With mining vessels my advice is to stay out of low sec, find a quiet system in high sec with low traffic and ship kills, get a retriever and focus on common ores and max yield per cycle at the expense of tanking, insure it, and get as much ore as you can as fast as you can. Try and stay far away from trade hubs, especially Jita. Watch local for traffic spikes, check d-scan occasionally to see who is around you, and if a ship pulls up on grid that you don’t recognize dock up quick. 10 cargoholds full of ore taken back to station will easily buy you a new ship if you get ganked.
Wow, I am already doing this.
adding to it , I am also training up my drone skills like crazy.
I do my best to hit ‘enemies’ with all 4 damage types, which is why I am constantly using at least 4 drones and why I like missiles more than ‘direct fire’.
I like lasers because I noticed the longer ranged crystals hit mostly with ‘EM’ (which most shields resist the least) and lasers can change to a ‘mostly thermal’ crystal (and much shorter ranged) instantly.
I now stand a MUCH better chance of surviving attempted ‘ganking’, but I still think this is a bad thing to allow to happen (especially to new players).
