So I've finished all the career missions, got a handful of ships, stuff, and ISK. What should my next move be? Is it customary to move ones base of operation to somewhere other than the starting areas? Is the "Sisters" missions a good nest move? |

Yes, I would say give the SOE Mission arc a shot. Lotsa good loot.

more efficient to sell everything and purchase what you need.

Keep in mind the thing will take you all over the map. Just take what you need and leave or sell the rest.

Well, in Eve you can do what you want - take a look at this chart for some ideas.
You should pick a few that sound interesting and try them out, then look for a corp that focuses on that. But while you are dipping your toes in the water and reading about possible careers, the Sisters of Eve arc is a good thing to do. It doesn't take that long and pays well and gives you a feel for combat. I wouldn't bother moving all your stuff there as the arc has you hopping around New Eden - just take a destroyer and head over to Arnon.
After that, you can pick a home wherever you like - near-ish a trade hub is good - or let that be decided by the corp you join. It might be influenced by agents if you are missioning, asteroid and ice belts if you are mining, or proximity to targets if you are PvPing. Usually it is easiest to sell most of the ships/items you aren't using - you can always re-buy later- but you could also repackage them, and use a courier contract to move everything you have. Just make sure to set the collateral 10-20% more than the value of your goods.
Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10 is a good idea.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of the Sisters mission arc. Unless you are not too lazy to read the mission texts (which I am) it's just another evening of boring PvE, and the 10m or so you get from it is not as much as it used to be. If you don't mind flying around killing red crosses, there is nothing wrong with it, but I would rather advise you to look around the universe and find something you really want to do. Then start learning to do it. |

if you don't bother reading, you won't get far in eve.
Also the sister's arc gives you a rather hefty faction standing boost once complete which can catapult you into missioning if that's something you're interested in.
Plus it teaches you some valuable lessons by putting you in some very different and challenging combat situations early on, sure veterans can breeze through it in 3 hours with a shiny frigate, but that's expected of a level 1 mission classification.

Welcome to EVE..
It's a sandbox, grab your shovel and bucket and create sandcastles.
Or just go over to that kid next to you and kick down his castle.
Or, do the SoE arc and then do the above mentioned.

You don't have to move all of your stuff. There is no reason to take everything with you where ever you go especially this early on. If you need something take it with you. If you need isk sell some stuff that you don't need. Some people like to sell everything and have nothing laying around. Some people like to have stuff stashed at various places. Many people will have multiple "bases of operation" spread across new eden. There is no wrong way and no right way. I am just letting you know that a lot of newbies have this mindset that they need to take all of their stuff with them, I know I did and as you progress through the game you realize that is not the case.
Next this game is deep and complex but it is a game so now that you have finished the tutorials it's time to start playing around. Play around with different ships and fits to see how things work. Experience is really the only way that you can know something so you'll just have to experience a lot of this game to get familiar with it.
Eve is an true MMO it needs to be played with others to be fun. So look for a player corp or a public channel or something where you have access to more experienced players to answer questions on the fly.
A lot of people will tell you to try the SoE epic arc and it really is good for new players as it gets you some isk and some experience on basic combat stuff. You can run regular missions or belt rat or mine or something to make your isk also but I would suggest sticking with some of the more basic aspects of the game before moving on to something more complex unless you have a vet to walk you through it. Also mission running is not end game content. It's mostly there to get you used to flying your ship and doing basic combat and later on a way for some people to make some isk.
Bigger is not better don't rush into large ships. They take a long time to train for and anything you can do in a BS can be done in a smaller faster training ship and probably done better.
I also think new players should spend some time going through the market UI make sure that you don't have "show only available" selected in options so that you can see what is out there. Look that the skills look at the ships and look at the modules. Eve Uni and google are good rescources for you as well as youtube and twitch. Pretty much anything you would want to know in Eve someone has made a guide for or a video or a blog or what ever. The information is out there. |

There's a big difference between not reading mission flavor text and not reading anything. I can spend hours debating the relative merits of an extra mag stab in EFT, but I'm not going to suffer through some boring lore-accurate short story when I could be making my own stories.
Some people love missions and the stories that go with them though, and that's fine too. I didn't know about the Sister's of Eve epic arc when I was new (because I skimmed over the tutorial text that told me about it ) so I didn't complete it until several weeks later. In the meantime I dabbled in all sorts of things....mining, missioning, wormholes (killed and podded), trade and manufacture. I even went out to lowsec to start some research jobs because there was no room in high sec (killed and podded). I hauled things for profit. I hauled things for loss (whoops). I met people I liked, and I met people for my kill list. I joined a public mining fleet (they gave me an equal share even though I was just in a venture!) and a public roam to lowsec (they laughed at my laser merlin but still taught me how to catch targets using warpins). I tried out combat in RvB and lost about 50 frigates in spectacular fashion. I met my first bubble in null-sec as I went hunting for data sites in my cormorant (not an appropriate ship).
Yes, the epic arc will get you some ISK. Yes, it will give you faction standing. Yes, it will challenge you to learn basic combat mechanics and possibly even force you to make friends to complete it. But there are many other things you can and should do when you are new. Give yourself a few weeks to try everything until you find something you really want to pursue...then start to specialize. And in the meantime meet people and make friends, because everything is more fun with friends.

A potential problem with the starting areas is that they're really crowded. Some people like that, others prefer space with fewer people and more lucrative rewards.
A good start is to check out dotlan
You can go exploring to far off places. Figure out what you want to do out there. Carve out a home or maybe join up with others who already live out there. |

Pff. Kids these days.
When you got equal shares..even though you were in your Bantam among Hulks...
Then you were lucky.

The SOE arc is mainly courier missions and easy combat but read up on it as there are 3 difficult missions for new players. SPOILER -> One early mission webs and scrams you with fast frigates you cannot hit with long range guns, one towards the end neuts all your cap and finally with Dagan in the final "boss fight", he needs a minimum of 150 DPS to break his tank.
Don't move your stuff. Aside from anything else you are only at Arnon for a few missions at start and end. In the end you will have stuff all over EVE and literally millions of m3 stuff in some stations. Its actually handy as you can use your assets register as a quick navigation tool :D If you want to go back to a station open assets right click on it and "set destination". |

Agreed.
I often use Assets for setting destination course when traveling. Another aspect of doing the level 1 SoE Epic Arc is it will make you some ISK while giving you time to train up skills, not to mention decide which career path or paths you'd like to pursue.
Good luck to you and welcome to Eve.

or hell, in an Iteron 1 because there weren't any orcas yet ... and ANY hauling helped.
One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
