I want to get out of the industry business now because it's pretty boring. Yeah I can make loads of isk but boring. So I'm looking at more combat skills now and....ouch, training time sucks. I wish CCP would at least add a respec clone feature so I could pick a different bloodline with somewhat better stats. This 17 perception is killing me.  |

Hehe, i made a balanced character that started with a mining theme.
Most of my stats are around 20 without fully trained learning skills.
You could make an alt and start training that up i guess. |

Both you and the op look not unlike me IRL tbh, which is a little scary. Minus the hat tho. |

That's the risk you took when you min/maxed your character (or when you didn't do enough research before creating it). |

Edited by: Jethro Jechonias on 31/10/2008 20:21:31I made the same mistake with my first character: base perception 3. It wasn't so bad when we had ghost training, as you could get those painfully long skills needed for T2 ships and weapons while using an alt.  However, now that my "alts" have caught up in SP with my "main" I am re-evaluating which is which. I figure I will reactive that character when I decide, and by the time I decide, I expect that the decision will have been made for me.  |

Well, I didn't know jack about EVE when I first started, so there wasn't really any research done when starting. It's totally different than most MMO's I've played where you get to pick starting stats. Originally by: Straight Chillen But you look damn sexy!!!! 
Um, I think I picked this race because it looked more "human" or something LOL |

QFT. Sell your character for isk and buy a new one with that isk. People are always in the market for industrial alts. |

Edited by: Khraunus on 31/10/2008 23:02:18 You think you have it bad? My base perception is a whopping 4!!! CCP should really give players a chance to buy a respec or something, just like you can buy a portrait change. All my skill training times looked perfectly fine to me for the first 6 months untill I started looking into gunnery and ship skills and by then it was too late to reroll.
To a new player who's just starting out, the attribute system doesn't look all that important untill you're too deep to get back out. It's like you go to a new job and for the first 6 months everything is fine but then your finances fall apart and all of your coworkers turn into ****s and you can't quit your job because then you'll lose your house and car and all your belongings so you just have to work with a bunch of ****s for the rest of your life!!1 |

 Welcome to my world. Cap Ships V took me about 70 days...lol. My base perception was 3. You just have to live with it, man...it just one of those things and I don't think they should really change it beyond maybe adding more advanced learning skills. |

..that's just sick. Kinda glad I picked 3 charisma and rest fairly balanced, Capital ship V with +5's and Adv Learning 5's take 51d. I'm usually in a +4 combatclone tho so a bit more. 70.. that's just sick. |

I started with my base Perception at 13 and Willpower at 12.. god i regret it. Yeah I can jump into ships quickly, but damnnnnn the engineering/electronics/drone skills were brutal. |

I rolled an Intaki for my mining Alt primarily because they looked different to the various Caldari I have usually flown as previously - I was very careful to balance his Stats as best I could, so he didn't end up being gimped in something which could later become crucial to training. The next Alt will probably be a Gallente female, with base 8,8,8,8 and 7 for will power. |

Gaze upon my Achura magnificence and despair. But yeah, if you're cranking out the ISKies spend some of that on a Brutor or Khanid combat pilot. Beats waiting forever for those combat skills with 3 base PER. |

I did some basic research when I created this char and I realised that you need to balance out your attributes because so much combat related stuff like tanking skills along with electronic and engineering based skills need intelligence and memory, I could probably have made a better char knowing what I know now but I am fairly happy with how its turned out. |

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my 9/9/9/9/3, although realistically I would have dropped Willpower lower if I'd thought about it |

Yeah, the last Achura I generated had 3 for social then 9, 9, 9 and 9 for the other Stats - this is in my opinion the best "balanced" Race & Attribute mix for most training purposes. |
