Then you either disabled the warning or you were autopiloting and ignored the orange and red blocks that the route showed for you.


So how is a noob supposed to know about the orange and red blocks, huh? It's not covered in the tutorial. I am days old, mainly having done the tutorial + starter missions, and I'm supposed to know something like this that the game doesn't tell me? Just bad design.

I had no idea what security status even was til now real - it's not mentioned in the tutorial.

I did not ignore a warning - I did not get one. It is not disabled, either.

By moving mouse over them and seeing what the tool tip says, the colour alone should be a warning. By asking in rookie help. That's just two ways.

Btw, if a mission that you're offered would take you into lowsec, the mission screen would have something like "Warning: Lowsec" or "Warning: Route takes your through: lowsec" in red on it. I don't have a lowsec mission to screenshot for you, but there is a warning message on there.

This.
Even in real life...orange and red usually indicate a hazard where green and blue indicate safety.
And in the mission briefing it also said that you will enter lowsec.

If you didnt know what that means, ask it. Asking questions have never hurt players.

Now, best way is to shrug it off and take it as a learning experience.

Also keep in mind, killing random players is just one of the possibilities in EVE. If you want safety, dont undock.

As I said - this did not happen. There was no warning I was going to low sec. I can accept I got ganked, but I can't accept there was no warning. Maybe there is supposed to be - however, I didn't get one.

I guarantee you got one..Stop being awkward and accept you made a mistake.

If you were on autopilot you might have missdd it and the autopilot will jump you in anyway.

But the warning IS there, unless manually deleted.

EvE is a game where the same people will randomly give a newbie a bag of cash, and try to kill their pod.

In either order.

To the OP - there is no reliable way of getting low-effort money in this game. Some ways require active effort, while others require good setups and careful planning.

Personally, Id dedicate 100m of it to keeping myself in cheap cruisers until you find what you like doing - try industry, try mission running, try ninja salvaging, try ducking your head into wormholes, try faction warfare.

Once you find what you like doing, you've got a grubstake of 100m, which should enable most things you want to do.
