I have jumped into the game on and off over the years and as sad as it seems, I have never left the first island.  I dont what to join some big guild and move several islands away and feel like I'm lost and cant contribute and be afraid to leave the terminal.  Other than joining a guild/corporation, and bigger deposits of minerals, what are the benefits to leaving the first island?

Thanks for the link but I dont anything about skills to train for in that guide.  I have questions like, what skills do I need to pilot a Termis and what skills would improve my mining yield or scanning accuracy.

I did the tutorials a long long time ago but now that I am back, I cant seem to find information on mining skills.  I would like to play around with a miner type char and see if I can get back into this game but I can not seem to find a specific list of mining skills to spend my EP's on.  I have looked at Zortags guide and he mentions a few but is there a guide that walks (older, less learnable) guys like me through from basic to terminus bots and what skills we should be traiining?

I cant seem to find information on how research works.  I found some cores, researched them, now I can make 100% of harverters but when I look at the price, it is 100k for me to make them.  Harverters buy and sell for about 10k, why would I ever want to research?  I'm obviously missing something.

I noticed that there is no one selling ammo or mining charges, then I figured out the price to make it myself and see it is really not worth the effort.  This could be a good niche to help hook people with the game.  Maybe increase the price of the NPC supplied ammo and charges and allow the players to make a small profit from selling these things.  Could help get new people started in manufacturing sooner.  If you are worried about new players not being able to afford ammo, increase the starting amount of cash or make a special ammo for new players that is discounted and good for 20 days after account creation or something like that.

Yes, I know there is a map but if I had a compass display I would not have to have the map open all the time.  If there is a compass display somewhere, I missed it.

I was looking into making my own mining charges and created a CT for HDT.  When I added it to the factory it said I needed 192 Titanium.  I then leveled up the Basic Eff Mass Pro skill that says I get a 2% material efficiency boost per level and now when I load the CT it says I need to use 224 Titanium.

Shouldnt the amount of materials be going down as I skill up?
