Thankyou for your responses I dont feel so bad being caldari now *g*.  I do have 2 last questions though:

1. what is nerfed ? Ive seen this term many times but for the life of me cant figure out what that means

2. Jump clones I know abit about them you can use a jump clone to travel to a far away station (mostly in 0.0 space) but ... how do u get a jump clone and do I lose my implants when I use one?

and EVE rocks

Right I also have some questions im also new to eve have gained some insight into its mechanics but a few questions (hopefully not too stupid) I do have:

1. With blueprints is there anyway to increase the stats or properties of a item eg: increase the output of ab or mwd? I know bps can be researched so u spend less minerals or less time but is that it?

2.Do Caldari suck at pvp ? (im still a long way from that though) I am caldari btw. or does it all depend on how u fly ur ship and what tactics u use?

3.Do lvl 5 missions exist? I have seen 1 lvl 5 agent when i click on him to see the standing requirments it says "Lvl 5 agents not open to the public".

I have no other questions that i can think of.  Like to say thanks to you all that patiently answer questions like these

 "I just got an L3 mission that made me blow up a battleship." realy  which mission was it? I wana do it too

I have ferox 1 mil sp and i have troubles only with the very hardest of lvl 3 missions eg massive attack that is quite a romp *g*  (unfortunately i didnt get the bs mission yet :(  )  I agrre with others stay with the ship u can use the best not the biggest or most expensive.  before u flame me as being noob with 1mill sp YES I AM AND I DONT CARE

The first few days on eve online made me feel like alice in wonderland and a very Huge complicated and confusing wonderland at that. Now I have been 30 days on eve (some may call me a noob and YES I AM :P). But Ive been on long enough to know that eve is a great game!! Yes I agree that it is complicated, unforgiving when it comes to making mistakes but it is a great game none the less.  For those of you that said that noobs just get owned by vet players:

1.  If you goto low sec space expect to get podded or ransomed and

2. When you become a vet I hardly believe that you would do otherwise. 

 I also ventured to low sec space and got owned by a pirate Hallee after she popped my ship (but didn’t pod me) and noticed I was only on for 5 days she apologised and sent me isk for a new Merlin.  This gesture got me hooked on eve.

As a closing note I would like to add: Eve IMO is more for the mature gamer and not for teenagers who play WOW which is probably where the majority of negative posts come form.
