Hi all,
I'm just new in this game (2 days) and i was exploring some systems (I know it was a stupid thing to do). I flew to a 0.4 security system and got shot ;D (1 hit i guess).
So that guy that shot me talked to me and said he was going warp me home. So i teleported back to home (Where you can walk around). But when i undock, i fly in my escape pod. How do i get my Rookie ship back?
Thanks for all the help in-game and here on the forums! You are a big help to help me further in this beautiful game! |

Just dock in any station that you have no ships with your pod. You have to make a ship active before you can use it. Check your inventory.
Oh and he didn't teleport you home per se. He destroyed your capsule and you woke up from the afterlife where your clone was based. Somewhere someone has a corpse of you. I found a dead cat on the side of the road so I -átook it home and put some honey on it and cooked it and then I ate it. Is that bad? do do do dooo... GÖ¬ GÖ½

Wouldn't worry about the corpse. Many people collect them. What they do with them is anyone's guess but it's probably safe to say you don't want that body back.

'Podded' - where your ship is destroyed it is then where the attacker also shoots your capsule -
You will learn about 'podding' and clones during the game. As a new player, getting 'podded ' while flying your rookie ship and low skills has no financial strain. As stated before, when you buy ships and/or fit different equipment , they will be lost. As you build up your skill points, you will need to update your clone but that is a few weeks off yet..
Corpses are sometimes collected as trophies when you get 'podded', I admit I have a few, but they just clutter up the place and start smelling.
Enjoy Eve and welcome aboard.. |

Your ship was killed.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=17538177
No big deal, it was a noob ship and had no isk value, you had fitted two cheap modules to it and had some ammunition aboard totally 46000 Isk - a minor amount even for a new player. The blaster and some of the ammunition was destroyed with your ship. The Armor repper and some of the ammunition survived and would probably have been scooped up by your attacker. If he didn't take it, another player passing by may have scooped it or after two hours the wreak and anything in it would have despawned and been lost. It is possible someone salvaged the wreak too within that two hour period using a salvaging module. The salvage for a noob ship would have only been a single metal scrap most likely, which is worth about 3000 Isk.
The Freedom of Operation license was also destroyed - nothing to worry about, that is just a Role Play item.
After losing your ship, the most important thing you should do is 'save your pod' You didn't.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=17538182
However, in this case the pod was worthless. In time, you will fit it out with implants worth more than the ship, you really do need to try and save your pod when you are in that position. Basically, as your ship is dying you should have a celestrial object selected on your overview and be spamming the Warp To button. Then your pod will warp as soon as your ship pops and your attacker loses the warp scramble/disruptor point on you. If you hang around he will quickly target and re-point your pod.
So your pod was destroyed - what does that mean? First you respawn at your medical clone location. That can save you some time if you have set it to a place where you actually want to be - you don't have to slow boat back there. But generally speaking it is a bad thing, because you lose any implants as already mentioned and once you have more than 900,000 SP under your belt, you have to 'Upgrade Your Clone' after every pod kill. This basically means insure your SP so that they are retained from one pod kill to the next. If you are not adequately insured when your pod is destroyed you lose some of that previous SP. I believe it is 10% from your highest trained skill.
When you dock up or respawn in a station which is empty of your ships. The game gives you a brand new Noob ship with a Civilian Miner and Civilian gun fitted to the high slots, plus a single unit of Tritanium in the cargohold. However, you have to open the assets window and actually board the ship before you can undock in it. You will only ever be given the noob ship of your race, regardless of who owns the station. That is probably the most significant effect of choosing a race at game start. Everything else can be cross trained. But if you are Gallente, you are stuck with Velator noob ships for life. Unless another players gives you a different type.
You can own as many noob ships as you can be bothered to undock in a capsule and run to a neigbouring station to spawn one. Provided no ship is in the station your capsule docks at, you will always be given another noob ship and get a poorly worded concilitary EMail from Concord assuming you just had a ship destroyed.
Edit - Additional: As for your corpse - one is generated whenever your pod is killed and can be scooped like loot. It is completely worthless, yet some players get very paranoid about people having their corpses. I've seen players buy them back for 100 Million Isk+, others collect them and have containers full of them. Why I never understood. I once went to the effort of flying out to a nearby pod loss to pick up my corpse and then I destroyed it. But now I don't even think about them and I certainly wouldn't pay for one to be returned to me. |

It's not stupid at all, the best time to go exploring is when you're new because you don't have expensive clones, implants and ships to lose. Also, you now have some (very limited) combat experience, and you have someone that you'd maybe like to get some revenge on, this is good. Keep on training those skills, get better ships, then go find the guy that killed you and make him pay. |

You're adorable. Anyone who loses a pod on their second day to curiosity and then doesn't throw a shitfit about it is A-OK in my books.
Look me up in game, sometime, and we'll see if we can get you started right. |

Also post your questions when you need ot. This section is super friendly to a good attitude. Plus you help all the people with the same questions but that are to shy to post.
We are a far cry from wow. We understand that players need help. Eve throws a lot at you. Tilde soaked words from something kinda like a pirate. |

Keep in mind that everything that happens to you in EVE, good or bad, is because of something you chose to do.
EVE players love helping other EVE players that can admit their own mistakes, laugh at their own mistakes, and learn from their own mistakes. |

Attitude goes a long way in eve. If you had acted all butt hurt it is likely you would have got a negative response here. However yourerecognise your error and want to improve from it. Keep this attitude and you will progress quickly not just in ability but in connections with other players. This is the real source of strength in eve.

All of the above, people who help themselves by having the right attitude will go far in this game. Next time you lose a ship, convo your killer, ask what you could have done to avoid dying, most will be happy to give you hints, ship fits and even a little isk if you're lucky.
Nice work on catching the pod express on day 2, that took me a month to achieve CCP can't patch stupid. |

You can talk to me ingame too for all your questions, I have helped many newbs in the past and can tell you a bit about nearly every aspect of the game. I haven't been on as much lately cause I'm in the middle of moving but I'd still try to get to evemails.
Also join my channel (see my bio) and my friends in there can help too :D The Drake is a Lie |

Congratz on losing your first ship and pod.
You should accept it as a natural part of your Eve life. Basically you should consider your ship lost the moment you click undock button as there is no real security outside of station. With this mindset even shiny loses are easier to get over with. Ship is just a tool, real value lies in yours as a player knowledge, experience and ability to get upper hand using others mistakes against them.
Of course getting to this point will take time investment from your side and I don't mean only playing time, reading forums asking questions AFTER USING SEARCH BUTTON, planning skills training, deciding what you really want to do in Eve and what you need to achieve that - this is all part of your personal growth as a New Eden capsuleer.
It's good too see that you are maybe even amused by the fact your frozen body is in somebody's fridge :) I personally collect bodies but only because I am terrible and each time I manage to pod somebody is like Christmas for me.
But anyway, you seem to have good attitude so keep it up, don't be afraid to make mistakes and lose things, don't let anybody to tell you how you should play your game - I mean listen to advice but make your own decisions. If you wanna mine then mine, if you wanna shoot rats - do it, if you wanna hang around undock in your newbie ship don't let anybody tell you it is wrong way of playing.
Last advice from me: find a corp. Maybe first one won't be perfect match but finally you find THE ONE with right people and activities you interested in. And then Eve will be a little warmer place to hang out :) I am not my skills but... http://eveboard.com/pilot/Schmata_Bastanold |

What a good attitude. Well done noob.
One completely unrelated tip is that its a good idea to join a bigish active corporation early on, as they will teach you the game. Good suggestions are Eve University, or, when you have a week or two's experience, Red vs Blue (a PvP alliance that teaches noobs cheap ship PvP) |

xercodo! dont scare off the noobs!
And a word of warning to the op:
yes people are friendly and helpful to new people that admit they made a mistake and laugh.
but whine about anything (even if it is a stupid game mechanic) and you are likely to be flamed to hell and back :) and.. in some cases hunted down and killed in game. not that i would know anything about that.. heard from people you know.. *whistles*
also.. you might as well start assuming everyone is out to kill you.. most are but we are in general very nice about it and willing to help you after we blown you out of the sky as a previous posted said. :)
but yes join a largish corp that focus on what you are interested in (or eve university (they may teach total failfits a lot of the time but in general they are not bad)). dont join a newbie corp run by newbies.. you need older characters willing to help you and explain this game is very complex. heck i still run afoul of some stuff.. (yes laugh at my silly mistake running into highsec (opposite of what you did but i am wanted in highsec.. at least i got one kill before CONCORD blapped me much to the laughter on mumble)).
so..
welcome to EVE :) looking foreward to ganking you real soon but in the friendliest of ways of course.
ps: feel free to shoot me eve mails as well if you wish ds. |

As others have probably already said, your old ship was destroyed; you can purchase a new one, or use the rookie ship you're given automatically, but before you can use any ship, you need to right-click it and select 'Assemble Ship' from the context menu. Basically, you have to take the thing out of the box before you can fly!
And a corpse -- well, some people use them for bragging rights, or offer to ransom them back to their victims, or even collect them for trophies. It's not 'bad' (though it is a bit gruesome and morbid), but it's all part of life in New Eden.
Good luck out there! Watch out for the Sleepers! |
