EVE New Citizens Q&A

Just did the same thing a few time the past couple days with various races and none of the first rookie ship were fitted, but you can just repackage and assemble it to have it fitted like any regular rookie ship, without the 1 trit though.

This is one of the major faults with the NPE. CCP have been told about it repeatedly for several months but nothing has been done to correct the situation.

New players are told that they can do the career tutorials in any order, but that isn't true. If you start with the business agent you have no mining laser with which to do one of the early missions. The industry tutorial needs to be run first so you get a miner as early as possible.

At a later point you are told that the gun you have been using doesn't need any ammo and that it's time to use one that does, despite the fact that you've already been using one and don't get the ammo-less civilian gun unless you repackage your rookie ship or dock your capsule at a station where you have no ships.

Another major problem is that Aura doesn't always provide the Repair Systems skillbook when she should, so you can't fit the armour repairer when told to.

You also get rewards like expanded cargoholds and afterburners but not the skills to use them. The whole NPE needs a total re-working and it astonishes me that CCP don't focus on this obvious aid to retaining new players instead of wasting resources on non-urgent expansion content.

I've just started a new character and had intended to produce a critique to give to CCP, but I stupidly forgot to start taking notes at the beginning.

Back in my day you got your rookie ship, they showed you how to lock something and shoot. Then they kicked you into the real Eve...

kids these days, no respect...
