The recent addition of certificates to EVE has started me thinking about how useful they really are for people planning to do something. I certainly don’t think are for everyone or even the best of all possible ways to achieve an end. There is a certain point in EVE when you realize there is no best, only different ways of doing something.
Speaking of information, I’ve been collecting it in copious amounts and links to just about almost every aspect of flying around in the universe of New Eden since I first jacked into my pod. I’m not only a carebear, but a voracious informational addict. If I’m ever looking at doing something, I’ll go and grab as many news, guides and articles as I can find about that subject. Then I’ll look at what I have and where I need to be to do it and get started.
I had the idea to try and put together a list of the resources with comments for others to be able to locate. Some of the resources are getting long in the tooth but most are at least a good place to get started. Over time you will develop your own collection links and places to refer to. When in doubt, try two things first:
- Right Click
- Check Google
Let’s start with the basics. First you might want information about creating a character, which direction to head off, etc.
General Information Links:
- EVE-Online FAQ – Who would have guessed they have some good information on their own site?
- EVE Guides – Good general place to get a guide on just about anything. Online versions of many tutorials and walk-throughs
- EVE-Online Newbie Links – A hodge-podge collection of links that are getting ever more out of date, but there are gems in there as well.
- EVE-Wiki – Typical wiki collection of information related to all facets of the game
- Hammer’s EVE – slightly dated look at several basics [Good for WoW immigrants]
And the “Pro” EVE content:
- Massively’s EVE Pages – Regularly updated content from people who actually play
- MMORPG.com’s EVE Pages – Mostly recapping of existing news, some original content
- EVE Places Link Directory – The sheer number of available resources can be overwhelming.
- EVE-Mag.com Articles – Pieces about EVE by EVE pilots.
- BattleClinic’s EVE Pages – Ships, missions, forums, Oh My!
- TenTonHammer’s EVE Pages – Vids, Pics, Audio and News
Next week I’ll try releasing the first group of resources/links on a specific sub-section of EVE. We have many different areas to cover, so if I don’t hit your cup of tea, stay tuned, it is coming up!
