EVE New Citizens Q&A

I've kind of got myself stuck in the tutorials and don't know how I should proceed. I went through maybe 3 or 4 tutorials, and messed up somehow and when I went back to Aura, I ended up starting the tutorials over from the start. So I went out on the first tutorial mission again in my Ibis that already had a weapon and shield generator, got into a new Ibis that was empty at this point. When I get to mission two again where you need to attack the fuel station and pirates, Aura is to give you a weapon and the shield generator. But since I'm doing this the second time, when I get to the spot where I get the weapon and generator, nothing is provided in the item slot. I can't complete the mission because I can't get any weapon........I'm guessing it's not handing me out the weapon and generator since I already received the handout once. But that handout is gone since the tutorial made me switch into an empty ship when I redid the first mission.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get past this now, other than restarting my character?

I wish.....originally for the fist mission you are in your pod, and then gain the Ibis.....the pod disappears, it's not a ship you can enter again, it's off your ships list. Same thing happened to the Ibis that had the weapons on it when I boarded the new empty one.

Ask in local if somebody got a spare gun sitting around. If nobody does leave your ship and fly your pod to any station you have no ships in. You will be given a noobship with a gun.

Unless you trash or otherwise get rid of the ibis yourself it doesn't simply disappear. The Ibis you had already should be there somewhere unless you left it in space. (It should still be there even in that case but good luck scanning it down with 20 other newbs in Ibises to sort through)

Either way if you dock at a station in a pod and that station doesn't already have any of your ships in it then the insurance system gives you a new free Ibis default with one civilian miner, one civilian gun and a single unit of tritanium in the cargo =D

While the civvy gun is like a peashooter compared to w/e gun you probably got from Aura (unless it was the civvy gun) you should still be able to kill the thing she asked.
