Skill Guide

There is no class-based leveling system in EVE. Instead, there is a very extensive skill system. Players choose from a wide variety of skills. You can train up to five levels in each skill, each with a number of sub-levels. Characters start with skills they selected during character creation and may also buy skill-training kits, which are sold like any other commodity, then rigged neurally to the character, much like knowledge is gained by the characters in "The Matrix."" Skill-training kits vary widely, both in price and availability. Once you learn a skill, you cannot unlearn it - but you don't need to. There is no limit to the number of skills or skill points a single character can attain.....................

Mining Guide

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner/pilot of a new frigate of your race's preference.

Character Creation

Before embarking on your first journey into EVE, you must first configure your character's appearance and identity. The first step is to choose which race your character will be.

The character creation tools offer you the opportunity to manipulate (or "morph") your facial features, creating a face unlike any other. The final result is your avatar portrait, which is visible to other players in several ways, including our message boards and in-game chat channels.

He lifts one hand and reaches, too. Then he lowers it. All the while, he keeps his vision focused on the sky, on the distance.

Not once did he cry out in pain. All that was done, really, took place while he was asleep, or just somewhere else. And there was no speaking to others; it is Not Done to share these things.............

Methods of Torture - The Amarr

"I see you're awake, Mr. Forte. Very good. No, don't try to get up. You'll find these straps to be more than your match." The wizened old man smiled and stepped back to enjoy the sight. Forte lay on a metal table, his hands, feet, torso and neck bound by leather straps. He was dressed in the black clothing he'd worn when infiltrating the compound, though his shoes and belt had been removed. The two men were located in a small, dark alcove that was lit only by torches on the walls.......................
