You can follow these steps:

  1. First you need to choose you activity, be it; Mining, Missions, Trading, PvP, Exploration etc.
  2. Choose the (appropriate) ship you want to fly.
  3. Choose how to fit the chosen ship (there is no right or wrong way to fit a ship, per say):
    1. Choose how to tank; Shield, Armor or Hull. Active or Passive.
    2. Choose your Utility for your warfare; EW or Boosting your dmg application.
    3. If any leftover slots fit to increase damage output.
  4. Pick your destination and off you go! :wink:

EVEUni’s wikipedia site is a good place to find some starter fits, which you can adjust as you see fit and to your needs.

Note: It can be difficult to find the balance between tank, dmg and utility.

Should you and your friends want to find an existing corporation to join, here you can find some info on how and what to look out for when deciding.

Does not matter, it can be changed as you see fit.

Common expressions in EVE:

  • Wardec (War Declaration); a mechanic in which 2 corporations/alliances may battle each other anywhere in New Eden (EVE), even in Highsec, the aggressor pays a weekly fee for as long as aggressor want to keep it going. A notification will be given 24 hours prior to the war beginning/ending. While there can only be one (1) aggressor, the defending Corp/Alliance have the option to hire help (or may even be offered help).

  • Suicide Gank; can only be done in Highsec systems. It is the act of destroying another players ship, without the rights to do so, knowing full well that it will result in the destruction of the pilot’s own ship by CONCORD. Commonly performed in pure damage fitted Destroyers and/or Attack Battlecruisers.

  • HotDrop; Lowsec and Null only. An act of cyno’ing in a Capital sized ship (usually a Carrier or Super Carrier) on a solo non-capital target to make quick work of them.

  • BLOP; Lowsec and Null only. An act of bridging a fleet of Covert class ships, usually Stealth Bombers and/or Black OP’s (hence the name “BLOP”) to a (Covert) Cyno at the vicinity of a (solo) target, often used against Rorquals.

  • There are quite a few more but this is all I can think of right now.
