EVE New Citizens Q&A

Sup all!

I started playing this last night, and I can def. see myself geting hooked. However (dot, dot , dot)...LOL, I for the life of me cannot find the way to my first mission. Its driving me crazy. I really dont wanna spend the entire trial trying to locate my first ship in this huge system. Any help would be well recieved. Also, it seems like theres a ton of stuff to get used to on this thing...is the transition easy, or will it take a lot of time getting used to?

Thanks guys and gals!

Option 1. Open up your "People & Places" window from the Neocom or the keyboard (default: ALT E).

The "Places" tab shows all your bookmarks, and will have agent and mission related links under the "Agent Missions" category (right-click on a bookmark to set a route).

You will also notice an "Agents" tab with a list of your agents.

Option 2. Open up your "Journal" window from the Neocom or the keyboard (default: ALT J).

Look under "Agents" and "Missions" for stuff in progress. Here you will be able to read the mission briefing again, which contains the mission objective system (double-click to open briefing, right-click on destination link to set a route).

Hey guys! I appreciate everything! I was able to find out what the hell I was doing and I got the hang of the basics. Found my ship, and now Im om my way!

Thank you again. One more question though, how do you kno when youre in a safe are where no one will try to kill you?? I dont want to get too far, and then lose it all!LOL. Ive heard horror stories.

In top left corner of screen there is your current solarsystem name and its security status number.

0.5 to 1.0 is highsec area which is relatively safe because if anyone attacks you without having right to attack, CONCORD police will come to kill them. (Of course they might be able to kill you before CONCORD arrives, so there is no really safe place in EVE.)

But then there are many things players can try to do to get right to attack you. e.g. they drop items into space and offer them to you "free". When you take those items you are flagged thief and then they can attack you freely.

But in the beginning your ships don't cost that much, so don't be too afraid of losing your ship. Also when you are attacked you can at most lose: your current ship + any modules in it + any items in its cargo + your current mission (if you lost item needed in that mission) + implants you have (if they also killed your pod) + some skillpoints (if you didn't have uptodate clone, but that is not possible until you have over 900,000 skillpoints.)

So you won't lose: any other ships you might have, any ISK in wallet, anything stored on stations.

As Raiz said, when in space you aren't 100% safe at any time. When undocked others CAN kill you. But like malaire said, the system your are in can make is more safe.

Being in high-sec (1.0 / 0.5 security systems) means CONCORD will punish the offender (They won't protect you, they punish, means they can be too late to safe your ship).

Low-sec (0.1 / 0.4) and null-sec are bit more hostile as there is no CONCORD, in low-sec there is the standing loss, Global Criminal Countdown and station/gate guns that "help" you, but in null-sec there is absolutely nothing to help you besides friends that are with you.

Thanks all! Im sure Ill master this as I go...I just hope I dont do anything to warrant being killed...LOL! This is my first MMO and Im sure Ill need all the help I can get..but I think Im doing pretty well on my own so far.

If anyone is interested in friending me out there, I sure could use them



Thank you so much again for the help! If theres anything else I should know, please send it my way!



Aloha and Mahalo!

+1.
However, many corps are wary of recruiting people who are under 21 days old, for fear of trial user spies, or even just trial users who don't subscribe and never log in again. Until that point, run the tutorials, and the Sisters of Eve epic arc. The latter is a series of easy newbie missions that effectively take you on a tour of Eve hisec and introduces you to some aspects of Eve lore.

Feel free to continue asking questions here, though.

Thanks for the info. Already lost a ship...had to buy all my stuff back. No worries though...had plenty of ISK.

Mahalo!

Give me a shout in game if you like, just started today as well and although not my first MMO it is certainly different to a lot i have played. I have quite a bit of time due to working shifts and tend to devote my time to one game. Can see me losing a bit of my life in this game.

BTW, be very patient when you do the scanning missions. Took me a while to get the hang of it. I was getting dam frustrated on first attempts at it.

Don't be afraid to get stuck into some pvp. Find some gang who pvp. Take a tackle frig. Get kills. Die in a fire. Learn in the process.
