Hi
So I insured my ship a while back whilst in a different sector (can't remember which). I just got blown up and want a new ship from my insurance. How do I get it?

Insurance works to pay out ISK for a part of the ship hull's cost. It wouldn't grant you a new ship. You can verify the sum by looking in your wallet journal.
You can, however, gain a free newbie frigate when you dock your pod in a station that does not have a ship of yours already.
To get a new ship, you'll find the most competitive prices in Amarr and Jita, usually. But sometimes people sell their ship for cheap if they're eager to get rid of it without having to move it to a market hub. Though even in that case you'll need to outfit the ship, so best to head to the market. |

You appear to have been misinformed. Insurance provides a payout of ISK reimbursement to cover the loss of your ship. It does not provide you a replacement ship. You can find the ISK payment in your wallet transactions.
Do note that as you fly increasingly valuable/large ships the insurance payout will be less than what you paid to acquire the ship. |

If you are looking to buy a new ship,, without any specific fittings to start, then look here:
https://eve-central.com/ Type your ship into the search bar and it will show the different buy and sell orders for the ship requested.

You should have received a notification from the insurance company the moment your ship died and the policy amount paid to your wallet.
As others have said, you do not get a new ship - you get ISK you can use to partially cover the cost of a new ship.
Some limitations:
- payout is based on the mineral cost to build the ship. this works reasonably well for standard T1 hulls. Insuring pirate, specialty, T2 or T3 hulls is a waste. A Gnosis, for example, requires 1 unit of Tritanium to build - insurance payout is a couple of ISK! - insurance does not cover the cost of modules, rigs or cargo - insurance expires after 90 days unless you renew, you should get a notification.

A few other things to add to the above:
- insurance only covers ~80% of the mineral value of the hull cost. This is an important factor when choosing a ship you want to use. With Tech 1 ships you will get back most of what you paid for. With more advanced ships, their cost has less to do with minerals and more with rarity and "special materials"... so insurance will value them at a fraction of what you bought them for on the market.
- insurance will not cover whatever weapons, modules, or cargo you had in your ship.
- insurance will not reward you for "surviving longer." In fact, it will indirectly penalize you by not being "cost effective" after he second time you insure your ship (if it has survived that long).
- insurance is supposed to "soften the blow" of loss... not remove it. In EVE, loss is supposed to hurt. Just make sure the "other guy" loses more. ;)

Where are you? In Nullsec? If you have not changed the home station, you can destroy your pod and then you are back in Highsec, where you can head to the nearest trade hub to buy a new ship ...

For sure! If it was other players that blew you up, you can open the lossmail you have from your death (shows who killed you, with what, and what you lost). Right+click the name of one of the guys that killed you, and send message (eve mail). Then just ask them in the message to join them if possible! |

One other thing that has gone wrong tonight that I don't know how to recify is the Drone tracking device I was trying to deliver as part of the Sisters of Eve mission. During one of the several ship losses I've had tonight I have lost the device and I have no idea where. What can I do to complete the mission without it?
I am not even sure which system I was in when I lost it :( it wasn't the mission system though

There's usually two ways people end up flying with bloodthirsty savages.
By referral or by getting shot in the face and taking it well.
Generally speaking we tend to look favourablely on plucky newbros willing to take it on the chin.
There's something of a tradition amongst the veterans of inflicting losses on newbies as a sort of litmus test. If they rage and spit vial you can laugh at them , if they take it well you shower them with advice (some of us have been known for replacing ships/reimbursing isk)
The people who've blasted you will most likely (though not necessarily) fairly easy going and willing to chat with you.

Which mission? Are you exploding to players or to NPC mission ships?
Don't cry, think about what happened, review the mission, review your fit... Being immortal means "Live and Learn" is easy :)
And everyone here is here to help, we don't want to see you give up and will hand out all the advice you need...
There is no such thing as a fair fight...
If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

First of all, in the fittings screen there should be a button to save the fitting, so at least you can remember what to put in next time.
Second of all, buy 5 of everything (5 Rifters, 5 of each module).
Third, the SoE story arc is mostly easy missions and then towards the end you get a bunch of HARD boss fights. These are meant to teach you some advanced combat techniques, such as:
- what to do when the enemy completely drains your capacitor with energy neutralizers. - how to survive in a frigate fight vs. a bigger cruiser. - how to maximize your DPS (you need at least 120 DPS for one of the fights).
For the neutralizer fight, you need to either:
- stay outside the range of the neutralizer (20+ km). - use passive (no capacitor) modules and weapons (projectile weapons and missiles don't use cap, armor repairer does, though). - use a capacitor booster (with charges) or ancillary shield booster (with charges) so you still have juice when you get depleted
For the bigger target fight, you need to increase your speed (afterburner) and consider increasing your agility (nanofibers or inertial stabilizers) so you can orbit close and avoid taking damage because the big ship can't track you.
For max DPS use short range weapons (autocannons, rockets), with high-damage short range ammo, and gyrostabilizers in the low slots.
Also, you always have the option of asking someone in Arnon to help you out for the boss fight. Normally people will PVP you, but in Arnon they're often helpful enough to help out instead of shooting you.
In any case, the SoE missions, towards the end, are harder, and you're supposed to think about the fittings in your ship and change them to adapt. |

Oh wow, that's pretty bad.
Fitting a ship, in general:
1. Start with the weapons. Pick long range or short range. In your case, let's go short range autocannons:
High slots: 3x 125mm Gatling Autocannon I
2. Whether it's long range or short range, you need propulsion to control the range:
Med slots: 1mn Afterburner I
3. Fit defenses. You're a frigate, so the defenses are your speed and agility. Because of the energy neutralizing issue with the one boss mentioned above, you can try a passive shield defense. This means you want to extend your shield as much as possible, and then increase the natural regeneration rate of your ship's shield. It uses no cap at all. So:
Med slots: Medium Shield Extender I (this is a cruiser-sized module, oversized for the Rifter) Low slots: Shield Power Relay I x3 (these will recharge your bigger shield)
Remaining slots:
Med slot: Explosive Deflection Amplifier I (shield resistance module) High slot: if you have the powergrid skills to fit a rocket launcher, go ahead. You can try to replace one of the Shield Power Relay I's in the low slots with a Micro Auxiliary Power Core to create more power to fit the rocket launcher, but your defenses will be lower.
I copied this fitting from the EVE University wiki, and a lot of people say they have some pretty bad fittings there, but it's better than what you have. You can google "Rifter PVE Fittings" if you want, but the basic idea is the same:
- start with the weapons and figure out what range you want to fight at - make all other slots enhance the weapons or provide appropriate defenses (including speed as a defense)
You typically want all the slots on a ship to be fitted for a purpose, rather than with random crap that you have in your hangar from previous missions.

Hmm, usually "Against the Hive" is the one hard SoE mission (though I guess with that Rifter fit any mission is hard).
Anyway, your ship-fitting knowledge definitely needs a bump, the Eve University wiki linked above is a good start and generally a wealth of information (if sometimes somewhat basic, but that is not a problem for you right now). Also consider those Fitting Guidelines for more general information and theory on ship-fitting.
Also, you should have two "help" channels ingame for immediate.... help, the first one "Rookie Channel" or something is especially dedicated to new players (only available for the first 30 days), the second one, "Help" Channel, for everyone.
