This thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Came in expecting a whine thread, probably like most others here. The fact that people are being so helpful to someone who came here with the right attitude is simply... cool.

Get into a good corporation, ask and listen to what they say and nubbin mistakes like this can be easily avoided.

So, now, I want to know, what would be the quickest way to earn ISK? Safely!
well I know a guy... and if you can talk in a femanine voice through eve speak he can help you make a looot of money.
more seriously. you are gonna lose ships, lots of ships hopefully, just learn to deal with it. Keep a backup, have a isk bringing ship in empire for the real bad times. and it can't be said enough "don't fly what you can't afford to lose". and asking for advice is always a good idea, help channel can come in pretty handy even for older players.

Imagine that. A constructive thread. Here's my advice, in several parts.
- First and foremost. Eve is best played when you set goals for yourself. Doesn't even really matter what the goal is. Could be "get into a mining barge". Could be "fly a battleship well enough to do level 4's". Could be "Get into a solid 0.0 corp". Pick a goal and work towards it. Fundamentally, this is what makes Eve different from the grind-based mmos out there. You get to play the game, learn, explore and have fun while you make your way to the goal over time. You do NOT spend every waking minute mindlessly making a skill bar move.
- Think of your first 3-4 months in the game as the Eve equivalent of birth -> high school. When you're a kid, everything is really serious. When you're an adult you look back on all that drama of your childhood with warm amusement. In very short order you'll look back and have a chuckle over this loss. It won't be long before making 30 million a night is pretty easy.
- Avoid the pitfall of thinking in generic mmo terms. "Higher levels == better". There's such a weird amount of whining about skill points needed to compete in this game and it's just so silly. It doesn't take but 2-3 months and you're a viable combat asset to any pvp outfit. Period. The hard, linear "level 80 beats level 75, period" thinking of lesser mmo's simply doesn't exist in the larger scheme of Eve.
- In my opinion, the biggest switch to make mentally is to accept ship loss. The old golden rule of eve "don't fly what you can't afford to lose" is 100% wisdom. When you get used to the concept of getting blow'd up and suffering real loss, you'll come to realize it truly makes the game experience richer. It simply does. The insane depth of the game stems from the emergent world that results from this. No other game has this. Full stop.
- Get into pvp. I've spent my years in Eve doing all sorts of crap. From pure carebear, to mixed carebear-who-can-pitchfork-in-an-alliance, to pure combat pilot. And let me tell you, the most fun I've had in the game is being a combat pilot. Specifically, a rank and file pilot for whatever space holding 0.0 alliance. That's where the game truly shines and you will have your Moment Of Clarity about what the game truly is about.
But baby steps are fine. Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket for a few months and chisel out your place in the game. Pretty soon the floodgates will open and the broader game will hit you full force.

If you already have a covetor, just put some regular cheap mining lazers on it and mine some veld for a couple weeks, then get a missioning ship and go at it.
Methinks you should check the number of turret slots on a Covetor. Everything else has already been covered.
Good luck to the OP, and don't forget you got a slight insurance payout for your ship.

Get a part time job as a janitor or rodent exterminator and use your 2nd income to buy plexes and time codes to resell in-game! You make much more isk/hr this way and you will only need to log-in to change skills.
Don't look at my employment history.
