In EVE ... if in doubt ... right click

So right click in space > station > dock

There are lots of other ways to get around, you'll find them as you explore

Hmz, follow what the tutorial said.

First mission you do for AURA is to collect your first ship + get you the knowledge of "Basic Interstellar Travel"


Funny part...it's the 3rd time you ask this question. Look up the answers in the other 2 times you ask how to get back to station.

If you press alt t you'll see what you have in each and every station, then just right right click on the desired station and set a destination.

If you dock at any station you do not have a ship at, you will be given a (terrible) ship to use until you have something better.

As mentioned by the last poster, Alt-T brings up your assets tab. This lists what you own in the entire universe and where it all is. I presently have ships in about eight different stations (plus more that I only own for the purposes of resale with no intention to ever fly them).

You'll need one more step after when Rebelde mentioned - you will also need to actually navigate your ship to the destination, which is done most easily by looking in the top left corner of the screen, where you'll see the next system on your route and you can right click it to bring up a menu that lets you jump through the stargates and/or dock.

Never be afraid to ask; EVE can be confusing.

We're horrible people in game who want nothing more than to blow up your ship and steal everything you own, but out of game we are generally helpful.

One thing I'd add: You may not end up keeping a clear 'home station' over time. I do - I have a pretty permanent base of operations established - but this is not universal in EVE.

You will definitely want to move out of your starting station soon, as the rookie systems offer next to nothing for real players.

Whenever you dock at a station in your capsule (a.k.a. pod), and there are no ships in that station, you will be given a FREE rookie ship.

Stations look like solid square boxes on the overview.

When you click on a station on your overview, a docking button appears. The icon looks like a box with an arrow going into it. Click this button, and you will warp to the station and dock.

I urge you to do the tutorials SLOWLY and CAREFULLY READING EVERYTHING. They are very boring, but have lots of vital info.

Also, you want to make liberal use of the Rookie-Channel.

Every new player is automatically member for 30 days and there are usually a couple (semi-)official CCP guys hanging around to help you.
