New pve pilot

Any suggestions on what a new bro should focus on who likes pve content ? Currently doing beginner agents.

You can’t go wrong with training into a Gila, overall it is a solid choice for so many applications, if you wish to go into lvl 4 missions then a rattlesnake will be your next step, overall it’s a Gila on steroids.

And honestly, only if you’re considering exploration you can see many here in the forums complain about the state of it even in null and wormholes so train the skills only up to what you feel is necessary and then get into the new destroyer metamorphosis will pretty much be the perfect choice for most regular exploration activities.

This is a cruiser yeah?

You certainly can.

“PVE” content” could be many things. Mining, exploration, missions, trading, abyssals and quite a few other things. It’s probably better to first figure out what kind of general play styles you’re looking for: combat, industry or exploration. And then choose based on that. People who give you “advice” without them (or you) knowing what direction you want to go in to generally aren’t actually helping you, they are simply looking at their own preferences and list what THEY use/like, which might not apply to you.

So first figure out in what direction(s) you want to move in to, tell us what sounds cool to you and THEN we can start helping you with some options. Note that “gila” is not really a useful answer for some newbie who didn’t say what he wanted to do, that’s like asking “what’s a nice car for a beginning driver” and someone answers “Ferrari”.

A fast way to get into PvE is missioning with security agents. There are 4 levels in difficulty. Each lwevel will pay you more, but will have bigger ships in the missions. Which means they have bigger bounty payouts. Agents can be found in the “agency” (tab on the left side of your screen, under activities). Each higher level of agent becomes available with enough standing/reputation gained through missioning for lower lvl of agents within the same corp.

I used the following ships for missioning:

Lvl 1; frigate

Lvl2; cruiser (you can easily use a destroyer for this as well)

Lvl3; battlecruiser

Lvl4; battleship

Which ship/fitting to use is always a debate. Apart from a few very rare lvl4’s; don’t worry about it. They’re not going to kill you. By that time you know what to do.

Have fun and welcome to EVE!
