Corezin was asking me tonight what skills were best to start with. Personally, I went for the learning skills first as they effect how long it takes for you to train your other skills. It's best to try and get them all to IV.
- Analytical Mind - Empathy - Instant Recall - Iron Will - Learning - Spatial Awareness
Social, Connections and Negotiations are other good ones to work on as they'll effect rep and money you get from NPCs.
As for ships, it's all about how you fight and what you fly. You'll want to improve your frigate skill, space command, gunnery (lot of gunnery skills). Then there is also missile/rocket skills, energy management, engineering, all important skills. You'll most likely start to prioritize based on what cool toy you recently acquired that you want to fit.
If you mouse-over the members in the members site area, you can kinda see where we're putting our points. Soon I'll have those images link to more details.
