I just started with this character and am doing the initial quests (pick up scientists etc.) but after I destroy the 2 warp scramblers and Aura tells me to warp to and dock at my home station I can't warp out.

I relogged twice, did the same mission again, moved 300k m from the wrecks but I still can't activate my warp drive.

Am I missing something?
edit nevermind, mission is very badly designed, I decided to kill the new bandits that show up (the ones Aura tells you to run away from) and when I had killed them another warp disrupter showed up, destroyed that one and I was able to warp out.

extra bonus to the person that designed that mission /sarcasm

Yeah, the startup missions can get you stuck in a number of ways, mostly if you don't follow the instructions exactly and skip ahead by looting or killing before you're asked to. Which is something that a lot of newbies tend to do.

They introduced these things to the Sisi test server, and we had a few weeks to try to debug and break them, and give feedback to CCP. CCP then didn't have enough time to fully fix the bugs. Compared to the expansion release day for other MMO's, it's about on par. MMO / online games always have bugs. Even Diablo, Skyrim, and other games had bugs when they were released.

The progression boxes that Aura opens, with the tasks that you have to do, they all have a ? in the upper right corner, and clicking that will let you reset that particular step and do it again. For when you're stuck. The EVE user interface is often subtle like that, with info screens or configuration screens hidden behind a tiny ? i or sprocket icon. Or critical commands only being available via the right-click menu.

If the ? that Memphis mentioned doesn't help, file a petition at https://community.eveonline.com/support/ under the "Stuck" category (with details), and a GM will help you along.

Please listen more carefully to the mission. When you blew up the first disruptor, the commander came on and told you that there was another warp disruptor that you needed to destroy so you could warp out.
