EVE New Citizens Q&A

i just started this game after hearing all the hype from other players in my other games I play 1. far to much going on most off the stuff u don't need being a new player maybe as u progress through your basic levels u can get more info in stages most new players just want to get out there and start shooting stuff /collecting stuff to get a better ship /guns what ever 2. tried a couple off level 1 missions got the hang off targeting and mining so I thought why not cant be that hard to do a mission mmmm 1 mission sent to collect an android medic can up against 3/4 ships I was destroyed 4/5 times before I won had to keep going back to station which isn't any big problem trying to find where I had to go back to continue was a problem no markers saying with here is where u left ur dead ship BIG YELLOW POINTER lol 3.sorry guys but this is a big problem during ur maintance ur mission should be held at that time to allow u to continue at that point I believe u have to restart the mission all over again

Adding to the above. being new in EVE is a test in many ways, you have failed in many ways.

I just wanted to second what has been said above and re-state that if you could state a specific question or area of the game that you are looking for help with. I'd love to give some advice but I'm having a hard time seeing an actual question in your OP.

Ahhh yes bookmarking is very important. Bookmarks get used a lot in Eve for many different reasons. I believe the default shortcut for bookmarking your location is Ctrl + b or at least that is what it is on my compy. Also you can right click on pretty much anything on grid and bookmark it's location. Ships that have not been blown up yet are the only exception that I can think of.

HOOOKAAY... HERE WE GO...


Here is the thing about EVE; you will never fully understand most of it.

This is okay. It is part of the design of the game.

The trick is to find something you like and become good at it.

If you are lacking in an area, make friends with someone who is good at that particular thing.


This is not that kind of game.

Here... economics plays a HUGE role in what you do... what you can fly... where you can fly it... how you fly it... and, as a result, what targets you can engage.

You cannot ignore miners and industry or write them off as "nobodies" that affect nothing. They could be supplying you enemies.
You cannot ignore the pirates that are sitting on a stargate, shooting anything that comes through. They could endanger your supply routes and block vital allies from getting through.
You cannot ignore allies that want you to do more with less because it is more economical for the group at large.


EVE is a multi-faceted PvP game.
Economy feeds war. War fuels the economy.



The game will not tell you. It is your responsibility to bookmark the location of the wreck and come back to it... IF you choose to come back to it.


Hint: NPCs will not kill your pod.
Before you warp back to the station, right-click your wreck and select "Save Location" / "Bookmark Location"



Correct.

This is an old issue. Just go with it.

This reminds me of a saying. If you write u instead of you because u is easier to write, then I will answer, no instead of yes, because no is easier to write.

While I could figure out what that mess says, it is not the reader's responsibility to figure out what you mean, it is the OPs responsibility to show the readers respect and write responsibly.

Seriously, if writing you is too much effort, then Eve, which requires a significant amount of effort play, learn, and interact with others, then Eve may not be for you.

Grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes-- These are ok. However, lack of effort is not a mistake. Lack of effort is lack of effort.

Try. If you aren't going to make an effort to communicate with me, how can you expect me to make an effort to communicate with you?
