EVE New Citizens Q&A

It appears as if all my trainers are done training me. Forgive my stupidity but now what? Is there another place to go for guided missions or do I just take off into the wild blue wonder? Thanks.

Many new people like to go to do the Sisters of Eve noob epic arc. It pays relatively well, shows you around the high sec and gives some info on the background fluff. The starting place is in Arnon on the sisters of eve station. You'll do quite a bit travelling so don't pack everything you own with you.

However you're free to do whatever you like. Pick something you liked doing in the tutorials and go do that or go check this picture for ideas.

Now you have to find your own way.
That is all the guidance that EVE provides.

From now on you have to rely on others (player corporations) or your own imagination for guidance.

Be advised, some players are nicer than others.
In fact, some players are quite mean.

Paranoia is a good survival tool.

You are now homeless, and will not have a home until a corporation invites you to their system and stuff or you make your own home.

I would suggest making a temporary home close to one trading hubs until you better understand the game.
The trading hubs are in Rens, Amarr, Dodixie, Hek and Jita.

1.) Home...It's where you want it to be. You can live out a single station and move all your stuff there, you can be a nomad and live all over the place and have assets scattered all over the galaxy. It's your choice (you see that, EVE is all about choices and most of them are yours to make).

2.) How to find Arnon.

Open your People & Places screen (Icon looks like a group with a magnifying glass or hotkey: Alt-E).

Now you will see a search box at the top. Type in Arnon.

The search result will list anything that has Arnon in it's name.

Find the solar system tab and right click Arnon and select Set Destination.

Now when you undock you should see a route on the left hand of your screen and 1 gate in the system should be yellow. Follow the yellow bricked road...uhm gates to Arnon.

In Arnon, dock at the Sisters of EVE station and there should be an agent for the Epic Arc (don't know which station the right one is, believe there are 2 SoE stations in Arnon).

To start the Epic Arc, just talk to the Agent like you did with the 5 career agents.

Meet me in game and I will likely be a lot less nice to you. But here on the forums we tend to be nice towards new players (or are forced to be nice by the moderators, depending on how you see it).

Meh...Tell that to my B-Rep Alt

But have to play nice for now, still being watched by CCP I think...

1 hint: Look when my ban started (16 days ago) and then find which B-REP guy started posting in NCQA...Can't be that hard.

yes, civilian equipment is generally useless. reprocess or trash it. (you can get it back any time by making another character or just running the tutorials in another newbie system.)

as for where to go, you can pick yourself. no one forces you to do missions. in fact, i would advise against running missions because it leads into the 'farm ISK to buy PLEX to farm more ISK' trap. you should just ask yourself what you want out of the game, set yourself some goals and then start researching how to achieve these goals.
also, like other people said, joining a corp is usually a good idea, this is a multiplayer game after all.

They did. That was the entire and arguably sole point of those tutorials. "Try a bunch of different things! Okay now do something byebye!"
Only do missions for a mission agent if you enjoy mission running. They're dull. They make passable isk, but you need to specialize in social skill and do some mildly arcane stuff about standings to be really good at it, and that's fine, but it's just repeatable errands for station o\wners, it's not like they lead to anything in particular. It's just another job.
