Newb Questions!

So, I'm downloading the 14 day trial for the third time, might just pay for an account this time since I have the extra cash to do so.

Anyway, I've played a new character enough to make a little money and upgrade to another, slightly better newbie ship, etc., but I really have no idea how to gear myself to the more endgame experience.

I've read the guides you guys posted, but a lot of the terminology is sort of confusing to me, and some basic starting advice in layman's terms would be great.

Like, which race to choose, where to start off, etc. (Geared toward being a straight up fighter). Just don't wanna make a mistake that I won't be able to take back without making a new character.

Thanks!

Ha, thanks, this is probably the only guide on the forums I didn't read...In fact I didn't even see it.

Woo, done installing...Anyone still awake? You guys are on tranquility right, and not one of the test servers?

I was online, distracted though shooting up some FIX as a late night snack.

Best time to find TribalWarriors on is about 9pm-1am Eastern time.

Now that the server's down for maintenance, tell me how much my new character sucks:

Ok so, anyone got any suggestions on what I should train up next? I've just been doing Learning so far.

Pick up some Navigation skills as soon as you can.
