Ships are ammo.
Knowledge is tank.
Experience is DPS.

The Rules of EVE Online

#1: If you’re not docked or tethered, you’re not AFK.
#2: If it sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam.
#3: Never undock what you can’t afford to lose.

Learn these rules.
Live by them.
Then, once you understand why they exist, you’ll know when you can break them — and when you absolutely shouldn’t.

When you can ignore these rules intentionally and survive, you’re no longer a beginner.
