Alright,

this is ridiculous, just started my trial, and here we go - tutorial 04 - Getting Bearings: it tells me to find Agent Missions located in top left, click on one called "Covering Basics" and it will warp me to my ship. But wait! There is NO Agent mission, there is nothing, no icon, no text, NOTHING! What is going on?

I looked everywhere, in People and Places Agents, in Journal where missions are, - there is nothing. and of course there is nothing on my screen, especially top left.

So thank you very much devs, I have wasted bandwidth downloading this, and hours of my time flying in frigging capsule around planets looking for my ship to enter!

If there's no agent mission in the top left, you haven't accepted the mission. Easily done and you're not alone in doing it.
Once you've accepted the mission then it'll appear, to do so, dock back up, speak to the agent (Aura I believe for the first missions) and click accept.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

And with that attitude, you are wasting our time.

If you don't like the game, leave but don't come whining...

Dock in your pod at any station without a ship in the hangar, and you get a new rookie ship with 1 free unit of Tritanium to boot.

You probably could have also asked in rookie chat, or local, or even petitioned a gamemaster (GM).

EVE players in general are very helpful to those that demonstrate a positive attitude and willingness to learn.

You might consider joining EVE University, or even just hanging out in their public chat channel.

Actually I would have to apologize, the problem is entirely my lack of attention where I, as in many games, simply skip tutorial windows to get to the point, and therefore I have missed the first one which said to engage in the conversation with the agent first.

Well, problem solved, thank you for answers, my attitude was generated by frustration and inability to play,

now that I am learning this game, I simply cant stop playing...

Yes unfortunately there are only two real ways to start off this game and few can do the second the first is the tutorials, the second is a good teacher of the basics usually a rl friend. Otherwise you really can not skip the tutorials. On he bright side eve has probably the best community around. Just a heads up for the future beware of scams in game (people are usually nice but if it sounds to good usually is). Second google will prolly become your best friend.

Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up. Pub Channel: Lost Souls Trading Post

Welcome aboard Big smile, Google, youtube, the Eve university wiki and this subforum are likely to be your best friends for the next few months.

The tutorials are pretty much essential in Eve, don't skip them, you'll regret it later on. You'll get free ships, free skill books and an introduction to game mechanics from them. If you have any questions that you can't find an answer to elsewhere, post them in here and they'll generally get answered. There's a lot of older players in here who will go out of their way to share their knowledge and experience if you ask sensible questions, be warned though they don't tolerate fools.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It works fine. I did it 12 days ago. Instead of ragequitting like an asshat would you like some help figuring it out? If you calm down and message me in-game i'll make an alt and walk you through it.

As the OP stated HOURS before your post, he was able to resolve it by going back and reading the tutorials.

So I ask you, upon which ass does the hat now sit, sir?

Smile Yup...99% of the time a problem is pilot error of some sort...something we are doing or not doing that is causing the problem. Figuring that out is fun and reminds one how EVE is unique in the gaming world for it's delightful complexity.
