EVE New Citizens Q&A

Welcome to Eve.

If this pertains to the Tutorial, Career Agent missions or the Level 1 Sisters Of Eve Epic Arc and your cargo contained a mission specific item, you can file a Support Ticket in-game (F12 key) and the GM will usually fix the problem.

As for actually getting back to wrecks it depends on where the ship was destroyed. It's easy to recover the cargo if the wreck is at any of the various Celestial objects showing on the Overview such as Stations, Planets, etc. Just have to warp back there.

Now for any other area such as Mission or Exploration locations, the best thing to do is bookmark the area by right clicking on a nearby object (Debris, Beacon, Structure, Wreck) and select 'save location'. Then later when you right click in space, the bookmark will be listed in the drop down menu which can be selected allowing you to warp back there in another ship and retrieve your cargo if needed.

Wrecks and cans will only last in space for up to 2 hours. Best to get back to them within 1 1/2 hours just to be on the safe side. Mission and Exploration locations will stay active until completed or expired naturally.

Good luck to you, hope this helps.

Thank you

I'll have to remember to bookmark the location and warp to it after.

Note that this is ONLY true of mission-specific items in those training missions. In 'real' missions, you must deal with the consequences of failure if a mission-critical item is destroyed.

When you lose your ship:
- All your rigs are destroyed
- About half your modules are destroyed
- About half your cargo is destroyed
- The rest is left in space at the location of your loss. Any player may loot it. Depending upon the circumstances, there may or may not be consequences for that player.

I just realized I don't know how to bookmark a location. I've seen the tab before but when i tried to find it on my own I couldn't.

Would anyone mind giving me instructions please? I'll keep trying to figure this out.

Thanks

Open 'People and places', it should be near the top of the neocom. Click on the places tab. Click 'save location' (button at the bottom), give it a useful name, click OK

You can now access that via the right click menu while in space.

For objects in space such as wrecks, containers, etc you can right-click the item in your overview and click 'Save Location' in the menu.

I feel I have to clarify why I'm liking this MMO more atm.

I really got my question answered. Not generically, here you go done, no it was a really really complete answer from everyone who contributed here. I asked for a sheet of paper I got an encyclopedia. Honestly really prefer it.

Secondly, no spammers, no stupid talk.... yet.

Everyone I've met has been really helpful so far.

And I just finished almost all the tutorial missions and have around 10 SHIPS! and there's SO MUCH TO DO!!!

I could explore with scanners for anomalies, I could mine and refine, I could manufacture, go more into ship building, or weapons or defense or learn how to pilot another new ship. It's not like other mmos where you can only focus on a few things, you had your "class" and that's it.

I guess here I feel like a "person" and can decide really whatever I want and at a whim's notice decide, you know what I want to upgrade my exploration ability today.

And the best part I think is this positive helpful community I've encountered. Example was around 4 hours in a GM messaged me if I needed help, and I did, so many times, got stuck here, didn't know what I was doing there.

Really really thanks everyone, I do missions wayyy faster now. I just auto piloted before now I know to click the object and hit D to quicker travel ( which I think should be in the tutorial for how to manually travel).

I was looking for help and am still shocked there are "academy's" and "schools" for beginners! I was all over their sites.

Well there's more, but I'm going to finish my last part of the trade mission and I'm off to see new worlds, explore new places, and go where no man has gone before.

I'd say that's more of a crapshoot. You can sometimes find a respectful person who murdered you, but this is not really a guarantee.

EVE's forum community is, naturally, fairly helpful. It's the people who give you advice in-game you might have to be wary of - murder isn't the only hobby of EVE. Scamming people also is. Though at least most scammers are fairly obvious.
