hmm hows yer gunnery? What you want to do is make money. If yer thinking longterm. You want an Industrial ship, Giant secure container, and the skill anchoring. Might be a few more things in there to get like frigate 3 or 4. Once you have those things find a nice mining spot in .07 space or below. Transport the container in yer Industrial ship. Anchor the container, then grab yer mining frigate. Load up the container then go and get yer Industrial ship. Sell the ore :) I have 3 ships. My fighter, miner, industrial.
If you did the agent that is given to you after the tutorial and you did all the missions you get an implant, worth like 500k. sell it.
Kassa gave me the advice on the Industrial ship/container and its pretty solid.
I copied the below from some players bio. Good info
====Aggression Timer=====
The presence of the aggression timer means that you have
done something to piss somebody in the EVE universe off.
Mouseover the aggression timer notice to see who. If it is
an NPC corporation, then it doesn't mean anything (unless
the corporation in question is CONCORD, in which case
you're pretty well fucked). However, if you have been
stealing from a player's loot cans or jettisoned ore
cannisters (jetcans), then that person gets a 15 minute
window to beat your ass like a cheap dusty rug hung out
on the line without CONCORD interfering with them. If that
player is also a member of a player corporation, then their
entire corporation also gets that same 15 minute window.
Be cautious before taking loot from any cannister that does
not "belong' to you.
=========================
=====AGENT LOCATION======
Several ways to find agents. Open your
character window, and go to "Standings", then select "Liked By".
Right click one of the corporations (NOT FACTIONS) there, and do
"Show Info". The info window will have a tab for
agents.
Or, go into your map window, go to Display
Settings, and Stars. Scroll down to find "My Agents". Select that.
Solar systems with agents who will speak to you will glow green.
Hover over those systems to get a rundown of
what agents are available in that system.
Or, click on "People & Places", and do a search
type for "Corporations". Type in just about anything. Click through
the resulting list for one that looks good, and do a "Show Info"
window to list available agents.

=====Transporting Contraband=====
So, you've just gotten an offer from your agent,and he wants you
to bring him some Crash, or Frentix,
or Crystal Egg, or Slaves, or Drop, or Exile, or Mindflood, or
Nerve Sticks, or X-Instinct, or Blue Pill, or Sooth Sayer, or
Ectoplasm, or Viral Agents, or Toxic Waste....there are some things
you need to know before you consider taking them up on this:
1) You can reject any offer from any agent
without any consequence. If you keep doing missions for that
agent, you will receive new offers every couple of days or so.
2) Those cargos are ILLEGAL. Getting caught
with them (and you almost certainly will) means that you either
pay a huge fine and lose a ton of standing, and get your cargo
confiscated...or the customs agents just blow your ship up.
3) They are hard to find. Illegal items can't be
sold on Escrow, and you will very very rarely actually see them
on the market, which means you need to go to the source to
obtain them. For drugs, that means cleaning out Serpentis
(or other pirate corp) drug stations and hoping
that they drop what you need. Long odds there.
4) The reward is almost certainly not worth it.
Money is really not that difficult to come by. Save up your loyalty
points for things that are worth it: Ships, Implants, Blueprints.
You can probably copy the above then add it to yer notepad/bio in the game. Just so you don't have to alt/tab out to see it.
