I'm used to the typical fantasy style MMO where you have just your armor, sword, and spells. I think this could be a good change of pace for me. P.S. This is really just a ploy to stalk my favorite blogger. This space stuff is way over my head but sounds sweet.

Do you recommend getting a tractor beam for salvaging? And are 4x salvagers really necessary? Think I'll probably go for the Thorax than instead of the Exequror (even though it looks cooler!). Everyone seems to be recommending it. And yeah... I don't think I'm going to make a good miner :) Thanks a lot for the advice.

I've barely stratched the service of what it has to offer in terms of crafting and buying/selling but I can tell you that it's hugely deep. Vast in face. People make fortunates just by commodity trading, it's crazy! I think you’d really like EVE.

Something like 66 regional markets, though the Forge region with the Jita system is the biggest trade hub. You can trade within or between regions, but it's usually best to have "scouts" out in the other regions to check the markets there. It's faster than flying all over creation, anyway. The various trade skills don't take long to train. I've got about 550,000 SP in trade is all, and don't see that I really need (m)any more, and since I train about 1.8 million SP per month, it only took about 12 days to get there. If you start a new character on a trading path, the double-speed training you get in the beginning should more than cover you. CCP has an economist studying their markets. <a href="http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/pdf/QEN_Q1-2009.pdf" rel="nofollow">this is the latest Quarterly Report</a>. FWIW, there are in-game price trackers and trend graphs and such also. They help quite a bit. EVE’s market system is really complex.

And welcome to Eve. :) 1. As some others have commented already, the Catalyst is slightly better for PVE (the only good PVP destroyer is the Thrasher, the Minmatar destroyer). 2. I'd suggest just going for a Thorax. Use your destroyer for salvaging (4x tractors, 4x salvagers, 1x afterburner, 1x mwd), not a cruiser. The Exequror is a good ship for remote repping (2x remote armor repairers, 4x medium armor repair drones), but you won't really need that until you start fleet PVP. The Thorax is great at PVE and PVP, and well worth the cost. And as for mining...well, don't mine. If you like PVE or PVP, mining will bore you. Those are all good ships to aim for.

My increasing love of crafting/auction house activities have found me still unfulfilled. Maybe EVE can satiate that. I’m getting closer and closer to warping on over to EVE.
