What strategies are good for advancing quickly as a new player? Are there certain ships or skills that are essential? Any common misconceptions people have or mistakes new people make?

To me the biggest fail advice ive been given was "dont go to 00 until you know alot about the game"

I went to providence, saw what was left around by people killing pirates and proceeded to buy an industrial ship and make like 20X the money i was making doing noob missions by collecting stuff other players killed. Not sure how providence looks like these days, but back then it wasnt a KoS zone so you could do that sort of stuff. Since experience in eve is unrelated to how much enemies you kill (in fact money buys you implants to xp faster) it was a great way to make money as a noob. But people here and on internet guides probably g0t much better ways to make good money rapidly than this. It was just something i found on my own.

Surrounding yourself with players who know what theyre doing is one of the best way to learn about a game as deep as eve.
