Any skills I should invest for more survivability? I am planning on doing pve only missions and hoping to get more ships… I’m new by the way thanks just been watching a few eve videos.
Spaceship command. Hull upgrades. Mechanics. Shield management. Maybe navigation, too.
wrong question. too vague. Which rats type? which ship you plan to fly? survivability means tank (shield o armor) but also sig tanking, or kiting or mjding. And sometimes, more dps result in better suvivability because you kills rats fast so that they cannot hurt you
as often it seems to me that you don’t have a very precise idea of what you wanna do. I would suggest you to join a newbie friendly corp, as eve-uni, to learn the basics

Yeah, the magic 14 and relevant tanking skills. For example, Kinetic armor compensation isn’t going to help you much if you are passive shield tanking, but Shield Upgrades and Tactical Shield Manipulation will probably be worthwhile. Also, don’t forget about the appropriate rigging skills, which can reduce the penalties of rigs.
And, tbh, damage and damage application skills can also increase survivability. The faster you can clear stuff from the field, the less incoming damage and ewar you have to worry about.
Yeah, there’s actually a but ton of tanking/damage/support skills that you need to train as a newbro. But they tend to apply to a much wider range of ships than more specific skills (such as Gallente Cruiser and Medium Hybrid Weapons). So, you’ll get a lot of mileage out of them over your Eve career. Moreover, training for subsequent ships will go faster because you’ll already have most of the relevant support skills trained.
You need to train Gallente Battleship and sentry drones asap. Large micro jump drive on Dominix will let you sit 100 km from NPC and still apply reasonable amount of instant damage. That is absolute safiest way of PvE in high sec. Untill you get standings for L4 security missions and skill to fly properly fitted Dominix, you should stick with Gnosis and Praxis.
You aim is to get this:

You land, drop MTU, align to correct direction, turn LMJD on. Your tank will hold those few seconds till you get 100 + km from NPC. After jump stop the ship, drop sentry drones and apply about 600 instant DPS (depends in skills / drones) within drones optimal range. If some fast NPC frigate will burn those 100 km toward you, they are flying with 0 transversal and even your large unbonussed guns can do quick job on them cause they have paper tank. So your drones are busy with large targets all the time. Just remember to use eve-survival web page to know, what drones to use. With range that big you should rearelly use your armor repearer.
