Announcing the Newbie’s Guide to Caldari Ships
Nope, it’s not done yet. However, I am working on it, I think people will finally realize that I can write a good guide for more than just carebearish matters. 
Heck, I even started work on the guide because as much as I like researching and manufacturing in Eve, there are tons of players who never show an interest in it. But everybody needs to understand their ships, Caldari is the most common race, and by golly I’m Caldari and know their ships pretty well.
When I finish the guide, not only will I have covered the important lingo (and all the attributes on their ship’s Show Info) and given a suggested starter setup for each ship, but I will have covered the “I’m new, what skills should I get?” question, and covered each of the Caldari’s three main weapon systems (Railguns, Missiles, and ECM) in a decent amount of detail. One thing I’m not covering is T2 ships though, since… well… it’s a newbie’s guide.
One thing I will ask of any of my Eve-playing readers, however, is to go over these various pieces of “lingo” I’m including and seeing if I’m forgetting any other terms that a new player may encounter and be confused by.
PDS (or PDU): Power Diagnostic System.
BCS (or BCU): Ballistic Control System.
MFS (or magstab): Magnetic Field Stabilizer
RCU: Reactor Control Unit.
WCS (or stab): Warp Core Stabilizer.
Nos: Nosferatu.
Webber: Stasis Webifier.
Jammer: One of the ECM modules.
Multispec: ECM - Multispectral Jammer.
Racial Jammer: Any of the other kinds of ECM modules.
SB (or booster): Shield booster (usually has a size clearly indicated).
Repper (or just rep, or rarely AR): Armor Repairer (usually has a size clearly indicated).
Invuln: Invulnerability Field.Tackling: In PvP, using Warp Scramblers/Disruptors and Stasis Webifiers to prevent a target from escaping.
Tanking: Setting your ship up to be able to absorb large amounts of damage through resistances, pure HP, repairing/boosting capability, or a combination.
Named module: When an item is neither a manufacturable tech one item (a 125mm Railgun I, for instance) or a tech two item (a 125mm Railgun II), but an improved version of the tech one item (a 125mm ‘Scout’ I Accelerator Cannon). Distinguished from normally undesirable “Basic” modules by the inclusion of the “I” somewhere in the name.
I wouldn’t want to miss anything important.
