Hello newbros and welcome to TEST. No matter what your background is in EVE, you're probably lacking a few essential skills that will help you become one of the next generation of rifter heroes.

As EVE has a steep learning curve already, we would highly suggest anyone new to the alliance to make sure they have the skills off of the 30 Day and 120 skill plans. If you already have these skills take a look at improving your support skills or starting a specialization plan.

Please visit http://skills.pleaseignore.com to see the skill plans and doctrines to train into. If you click on the column headers you can sort the columns, sorting by category is probably the best idea since that is how it is presented in game.

The intent of the 30 day plan is to ensure that all of our members have a core set of skills to live in null sec. This skill pack is also designed to allow you to fly the ships that Test Free offers. This skill pack can be broken down into several sections.

These are skills that are useful in any ship you will be flying.
