An astronaut, I am not (EVE Online Help Thread)

[Glitch]

After a year of trying the 14-day trial, I finally decided to give EVE another shot. I've played for about three days, and I remember why I left in the first place. It is -not- friendly to new players. I can't seem to find my niche. I can't make money without doing mindless courier missions, and I'm too afraid to do combat missions because I've come too close to losing the destroyer I know and love.

The reason I'm posting is because I know a few of our members play EVE, and I just cannot get my foot in the door. Everyone talks like money is so easy to earn in EVE, but I've never been very good at making money in MMOs anyway. I can't imagine myself sticking with this if I can't make some decent ISK soon. I need some tips, a partner, or the name of a good Corporation that will be able to help me out. A reply post or even a PM will be much appreciated, thanks eGOers!

I played for a long time in Goon Fleet... From tiny beginnings in Syndicate to forging the largest Alliance in the game, Goons are the shiznit. Currently GoonSwarm is kicking the crap out of BoB. Band of Brothers USED to be the most powerful Alliance in the game, now Goons play games and have fun in what used to be the heart of their empire. EvE has a lot of potential if you fall into the right group of players.
