one person offered to escort me to the objective, then proceeded to feck of with contents of said objective ... but now i cannot complete the mission.

Also, trusting someone to help you with a mission and then turning on you is part of the game really...so sorry to say but you'll have to get used to it.

I am very new to EVE having recently finished my 14 day trial and being subbed for a week now.

However I am a veteran of several MMOs going all the way back to PSO on the Dreamcast. I have found my way to EVE via variouis F2P and subscription games amongst them FFXI Online, Everquest 2, SW:TOR, Guld wars 1 & 2 and lord knows how many more.

I seem to see alot of jackasses in the the Rookie channel who seem to think they have joined the `take the mickey out of the Rookies channel`. I guess I am lucky with my experience in MMOs that I have managed to pick up things fairly quickly. It is obvious to me that alot of people dont seem to grasp that others may not only be new to EVE itself but may in fact be new to MMOs in general.

I guess that there will always be self styled `experts` who enjoy flaunting their superior knowledge to lesser mortals. If you are new too I can only urge that you try to join a good corporation as soon as you can. Mine have been really helpful and have made the game really enjoybale and accessible for me.

I think that the two most overlooked assets in the game is the help panel and the browser. If their is something you dont understand just hit F12 and you can search the EVElopedia or look up tutorials on various aspects of the game. Also on the top left of the screen is the menu accessed via the `E` symbol. Here you can access the built in browser, your contracts, a calculator, a notepad and much more.

Anyway if anyone sees me in game I am always willing to help if i can.

Remember the golden rule though... It's a game and it should be about having fun

I have been trying the last few nights to find a "NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY" corp, with no success, i asked in local for help with a mission, one person offered to escort me to the objective, then proceeded to feck of with contents of said objective, and ask for isk to have it returned. Needless to say i told them to go **** a donkey, but now i cannot complete the mission.

If it was one of the training missions, file a petition to have the mission reset; the GM are generally pretty chill with resetting them for new players (not sure, but considering various GM have, in the past made comments regarding the Sisters of EvE epic arc also being a sort of tutorial arc, they may assist with that, as well; no promises on any of this, though). If it was a regular mission... well, I hate to say it, but welcome to EvE: ransoming mission objectives is not uncommon, though it isn't exactly a regular even, either.

Best of luck in finding a corp!

I found the chat channel of the NPC corp you start in to be more helpful than the Rookie help channel, which usually whizzes past so fast as to make it almost unreadable in any case.

Welcome to EVE.

Ive been playing for a month now. Lost 4 Thorax's, 3 of them in lowsec. All part of the learning progress. The people in the rookie chat that "take the mickey" are taking the mickey out of those that choose not to read the tutorials and expect everything to be handed to them. I personally hate people like that. There is a tutorial for a reason but when I see someone asking "how do i enter my ship"... Aura tells you this in the first several paragraphs of the game so yes, i will take the **** out of you for being lazy. If you have to ask simple questions that are explained in the tutorial (with options to revisit them over and over and over again) then EVE isn't for you IMO

But thats just me and im a quick learner. Also helps that I read everything at the beginning and have good friends already in game that have been playing for several years so Meh.

Enjoy one of thee best games to hit PC, it's absolutely amazing.

They say the first rule of EVE is not to trust anyone, but if thats the case you're going to have a lonely experience playing EVE.

Don't trust anyone is NOT the same as don't speak to anyone.

It just means you shouldn't be blindly following anything he says or give him stuff and expect something back.

I always encourage new players to talk to other people too. Even when I'm giving them a Q&A 1-on-1 conversation, I highly encourage they also take their questions to others / a public channel like help or local.

Why, because multiple answers are always better then one single answer. My answer, unintentionally, will always be biased by my personal preferences, personal experience in EVE and my personality. So by getting multiple answers, you can pick out the ones that are incorrect, you can pick out the parts where other people were slightly wrong and you can make a more real picture about the answer without all the small biased things in it.
