Hi!
I've started playing yesterday, did the intro, the mining and exploration agent missions and now the Militia missions. the first 9 were no problem - bordering on boring.

Number 10: mission as usual - "warp there, kill Wolf (for the 5th time or so)... bla bla... ok...
Warping there, seeing 5 red ships, attacking - *booooom* annihilated within 2 seconds after taking the first shot...
The ships were "Autothysian lancers".

What the heck??? Evil

I thought these were supposed to be rookie missions??
What am I supposed to do about those?

(not sure if this is double post now, first time clicking on "post" just cleared the text box...)


//edit:
Ok, I tried it again and this time these ships were not there.
I actually had to select "warp to" once more... sorry for that.
But, frankly, how was I supposed to know that? Most of the other missions were "warp in, engage red ships close to you..." - and so was this one, just one warp further away... guess I was just really unlucky...

The ships you shot at were drifters and they make quick work of a newbie like you indeed. Read more about those here: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Drifters

"But, frankly, how was I supposed to know that?"

Well, this is eve. Eve is not some quick paced shooting game where you're the hero. Eve let's you in, shakes you around, spits you out and laughs in your face. I say get used to it or get out.
