Not a new player but created this one to test something. Just for fun, when I first logged in I clicked on Aura to get the first noob tutorial mission. I'm sitting in my pod and it tells me to go to the location and get the ship, then pick something up and bring it back. I go out and get into the reaper, pickup up the sponsoship, dock and turn in the mission. So far, so good. Only, the reaper is unarmed, no mods of any kind.

I click on Aura again to get the second mission (along with the Next Mission tutorial as well). It tells me to go out to the location destroy the depot and kill the pirate. The tutorial is also active though, Fitting Your Ship. It gives me a gun and a shield rep. Only, the shield can't be fitted because I don't have the skill and the gun has no ammo. So now I have a reaper with a unloaded gun. Is the intent for me to go out, not be able to blow up the depot, wander into the second room, get aggro, die, and redock to get a reaper with the basic, default civ fittings? Seems weird

Hello,

Civilian guns do not require ammo to fire so you can fire them without the ammo. As for using the shield repairer the tutorial should have given you the skill book. You can buy the book off of the market or feel free to file a petition under Game Play > Missions In progress.

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

The starter missions can be confusing if you already have some knowledge about the game, but they do a good job of hand-holding if you you are completely new.

The civilian modules don't need ammo and if I remember correctly the next mission will give you a gun and ammo and teach you how to load it. I only started 2 months ago and I think every mission either gives you the things you need or tells you what to buy.

I don't remember if you get a skillbook for the shield booster, but one of the first missions teaches you how to use a shield booster, and it provides you with a civilian module (which doesn't require skills).

At least in one tutorial I was given ammo in space, just before fight was going to happen (and instructions on how to load ammo.)

Aura gives you the shield skill and instructs you how to inject it and begin training. After you fit the gun and undock Aura dumps some ammo in your hold and tells you how to load it.
