Howdy All! It's time for another "Ask Agony Anything!" style thread - been over a year since our last one!
This thread is to ask us anything at all - what's it like to be in Agony, what's it like living in nullsec, debates about favorite pizza toppings, ask us anything at all!
Need more questions. Slow day at work and brimming with information to share... like the suggestion "do not train carrier" on your main. Sure it looks simple, you already got BS V for better PVE/PVP performance, you already spent a year getting all your core capacitor skills, you already have logistics V for triage...
But then you realize that you need another 3 months of navigation skills (Warp drive operation V, Jump drive operation V, Jump drive calibration V, Jump fuel conservation, capital ships, advanced spaceship command...) => that for maximum rep range you need carrier 5 => and tactical logistics reconfig for Tech 2 triage => then perfect armor skills... Capital reppers V Capital Remote Rep V armor compensations V, fighters, Capital Energy Transfer V...
If you have already trained EVERYTHING else its fine, and if youre only goal is to use it to move ships you can accomplish that with just a few months for jump drive skills. But, to actually be PVP triage fit is going to take 6+ months of carrier specific training. I'd suggest using an alt account specialized for a carrier; sell them if you decide you don't want it as specialized pilots sell well. Then you don't miss out on all that time to train skills on your main that unlock new ships or enhance the performance of all your ships. In the time it takes you to train a T2 triage carrier you could train All racial Frigate V, EAF V, Interceptors V, Assault Ships V, Covert Ops V, destroyer V, interdictors, All racial Cruiser V, Heavy Assault Ships V, Logistics V, Recon V, Battlecruisers V, Command Ships V, and probably all racial BS V too.
And even have time leftover for new skills like the racial sensor strength skills... which will help all of your ships a little bit.
Just a random little rant that there is a lot more skills needed to "fly" a ship than just to sit in it.
I took my first Agony Basic class nearly three years ago. It was my first "real" taste of PVP in EVE, and opened up a whole new perspective on the game for me. I took every Agony class I could, bringing back what I learned to my carebear-wormhole corporation. I loved the sense of control and power that I gained from the classes, sure, I still sucked at PVP, but at least when I lost a fight, I understood why!
I knew right from the very first time I undocked during that Basic class, that I would one day join Agony, although it took a while for me to have the guts to go for it! I finally joined Agony a year and a half ago, and I've never looked back. Things I never thought I'd ever be able to do in Eve, I do daily - from FCing gangs and teaching classes, debating fittings and hearing off-key Karaoke (fortunately VERY VERY rare!), but mostly just hanging out and flying with the niftiest people in the universe. I get to do this every day, and maybe, so can you!
Agony is a PVP corporation. Sure, we've got this reputation as a "training" corp - and trust me, we NEVER stop learning - but PVP-U is just a very small part of what Agony is. Outside of PVP-U, Agony is all about being active PVPers, finding good fights, trying new things - crazy things! - and FLYING WITH GREAT PEOPLE.
Yeah, that last bit is where Agony really shines. Sure, we like to see PVP experience on applicants, but having the right attitude and personality is often WAY more important than PVP experience to us. We can teach anyone how to PVP, but we can't teach you to be cool and nifty to hang out with. That you gotta have on your own already 
So if you've ever toyed with the idea of joining Agony, but just aren't quite sure if we're the right home for you, feel free to ask us anything at all right here in this thread. We'll answer your questions, honestly and openly, and do our best to not get derailed too much lol!!
