EVE New Citizens Q&A

There is a tab on the market interface called "quickbar" that allows you to drag and drop your saved fittings so you have a nice list from which to buy.

If you don't already have it saved, you can look at your loss mail to see how it was fit. (Found on your character sheet under the "Combat Log" tab.)

Tip: buy multiple hulls and fittings for anything (read everything) theirs even a remote chance of losing.

You can also insure Tec one ships to help soften the blow when the inevitable happens,
just don't bother with insurance on Tec two ships

You can buy a new ship and the modules, what you can't do is buy one from the market that is pre-fitted.

As Ralph has said, knowing how to fit your ship is an invaluable skill; you're in the ideal position to learn how to do it without spending gobs of isk.

Your fits will depend on what you want to do in Eve, PvP and PvE fits are usually very different.

In case you haven't realized, losing a ship in EVE is a very common occurrence. Our vessels are more Durex than Starship Enterprise. Use and abuse them, keep a stack of them ready, different fits for different uses.

Welcome, and have fun!

When you lose a ship you contact the person who shot you out of space and ask what you did wrong.

It's not a What-if. It'll definitely happen and you need to learn from it.

Save a fit.
Find the fit in the fittings menu.
Right click all the modules, purchase from the market (View Market Details)
Buy the ship hull.
Once you got all your items, board your ship, and in the fittings menu press Fit button.

Your ship will be assembled in all slots as the fit you saved.

Ships are made by players, fittings are made by players (or looted and resold by players), and all are sold on the market by players in "packaged" form. So the closest you can come to "give me my ship back" is to write down or add to the market "favorites" the ship itself and the fittings that you prefer; you still have to buy them individually and put them in. Because prices vary. And because people will take advantage if you're in a remote area and charge you a ton for stuff that could be cheaper elsewhere.

The economy is basically a player-run thing.

Also, as suggested above, it's better to buy 5x the ship and 5x the fittings and have them all set up and ready to go. Because once you're in PVP (like in a war for example), the enemy won't give you a break so you can go shopping for another ship. You'll TRY to go but they'll just shoot you down as soon as you undock. So build up your war machines ahead of time.

Some of the mission agents in this game offer "locator" services. We pay 100k and can find your location in about 3 minutes. Anywhere on the map. Also, we can add you to our contacts list and that will tell us when you're on and when you're offline. So you can't really hide in this game; once you're in a war you are fighting every minute you spend in-space. Your enemies won't stop until they've had their fun, long past when it's no longer fun for you.

And definitely no time to go shopping.

^^ "Browse" tab on fitting window, do this, and there you have it.
