I don't think newbies know how to find career agents

Thanks to the steam sale, there's been an influx of new players. After talking to a few of them, I think they are all using the opportunity map as the sole tutorial and are missing out on the career agents. Maybe CCP should look into this.

Because of this

Doesnt aura say 'press f12 for career agents' or something?

If she doesn't then its probs best she does. Whilst I think ccp are trying to move away from tutorials as a way of teaching noobs, the free stuff you get is still invaluable to New players even if most of the skill books are now redundant.

I remeber I found it easily the first day I started playing, that was however in 2011, not sure how it is today.
I think AURA used to tell one how to find it.

I was told in the tutorial where career agents where and who they are and what they do and then I could set a destination to their station. Since they do away with that really helpful, really educating, really relevant tutorial stuff in favor of the opportunities, there should be a mandatory opportunity telling people about the agents if that is not already the case.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I love that image, but it's from a time long gone.

I don't think Aura exists anymore, and that may be part of the problem.

She still appears to New char, but I when I started a new char last week I wasnt paying much attention to exactly what information she was trying to tell me.

I should learn how to biomass chars.
