First off, im new. So yeah....
So I was mining with a destroyer and just jetting my minerals for my iteron to pick it up, some dude comes in and steals mine, and every elses right? So I return to my dock, and get out a tristan. Fully loaded I return to my mining field, alas he is gone =/ so I search through the system and finally find him, I quickly lock on turn on my speed disruptor thing, and proceed with firing missiles and lasers. Unfortunately as a brand new player, (newb, noob, idiot) I had no idea what fire power he had, and he destroyed me within seconds. So I return to my base, and get a message. He says "good fight" lol I knew it wasnt. but he continues and gives me advice, pays back for my ship + all the ammo I had with it + some??? and invites me to his Corp...
So I just got one question... is this a usual experience in EVE?? |

This is typical - corps like that help you learn, don't pass on the opportunity.

There's nothing more valuable in EVE than an enthusiastic newbie. You got can-flipped, but instead of raging, you went out and started plotting revenge. Now, admittedly you were probably massively over matched, but at least you went out there and tried your damnedest.
Now all you have to do is survive the learning curve. |

He's a week old at best, nullsec politics bullshit is the furthest thing from his mind. If he was eligible to get into TEST or Goonswarm he wouldn't be out in highsec, their newbees podjump out to nullsec on day one.
But if we're playing this stupid forum game, don't join -A-, they don't have a future. |

This, even as a hated 'pubbie' mining corp i rejoiced the day my pilots lost two retrievers to a hurricane and immediately set about hunting him down in rifters.

You passed the first test with flying colors... you undocked and D.I.A.F (died in a fire). That seriously earns a lot of respect in this game. Losing your first ship always hurts, but you kept it together. EvE is all about kill and be killed. Also, I find it to be a very common practice for the experienced players to reimburse new player who show promise. You will do just fine. Now learn all that you can about EvE, and Never let your skill training sit idle.

You went and fought him against the odds instead of bitching about the theft in local
This is looked upon very favourably by most people

Honestly no it's really not the usual eve experience. The usual Eve experience would be after killing you, your attacker would then try to harvest your tears. But then again, you are not the usual noob. When your **** got stolen you did not cry and moan, making the tear extraction easy for your aggressor. Instead you found your balls (or your metaphorical balls if you're a lady), hardened the f*ck up, and went to get your belongings back. That is admirable, and that is why you had such a positive experience.

This, MinerBears is how you do it. Even this Newbie has it figured out. Don't winge about what someone did to you, get back at them... even if you "DIAF."

My first death from another player(s) required two dessies and two frigs against my Jaguar. I gave them the ol' tip of the hat for a nicely executed ambush and asked for more.

Yup, by fighting back you showed some drive and determination. You stuck up for yourself despite being horribly out matched and you are respected for that.
You are therefore a guy worth recruiting and teaching, cause when you know what you're doing then you'll be that much more of a threat to your enemies :D

You attempted to fight back, which already makes you superior to half the mining folk. The default response is to come here and say the game is broken. Well done |

I don't canflip, but I would have a lot of respect for a new player who shipped up and came back to fight instead of crying. So yes, I would try to help them and fund them.
It's been said, but welcome to EVE.

Most of my thoughts have already been said, but i too congratulate you on not being a wimp.
If i had been the one to flip you, i absolutely would have recruited you after seeing that level of spunk. Also keep an eye on your wallet tomorrow. Im away from a client atm, but ill be sending a little dough your way.
As an anecdote, i remember my first week in eve. I was can flipped within hours, and had no idea how concord worked. The guy waited for agression to go away then came back, i shot him and DIAF. A few days later i got caught in a gate camp in rancer due to poor auto pilot settings. took an atron deep into what was then BoB territory, realized where i was and ran all the way home only to get caught by a gate camp that thought i was a spy, but eventually let me go and later tried to recruit me. I was hooked. No matter how many times i try to quit, i always end up resubbing and spinning my ship in a station if i dont find anything better to do :P
welcome to eve, the only game that you cant win |

I always congratulate those who kill me. They seem surprised (and happy) when I do because 99% of the time they only get hate and threats.
And when I'm the victor, if the looser is not too sore, I happily provide some pointers as per what they did wrong and how to prepare for the next encounter.
After all, it's a game, we are supposed to have fun. |

yeah na, learn what?
how to can flip?
I think OP learned that already.
More likely they want a noob to pay taxes and mine for them, but whatever.
Don't start thinking you'll join the corp & all join hands & sing Kum ba ya.
It's not really that kinda game. |
