Hello,
Okay, I just got EVE a few minutes ago and I'm already stuck in the tutorial...(yea that's gonna promise something for the futur).
The thing is, I did all the things like look around your ship and bla bla bla, and then the computer asked me to mine an astroide or something.
Okay I clicked on it and all the sudden it was in the cargo hold of my ship, then I was supose to eject the cargo and I did, so now there was this little box floating around behind my ship...and then, notting happens...
I just look at my lovely ship, with the cargo thingy behind it just as I was asked to by the computer and that's it, it doesn't update with a new task or whatever.
So how do I skip the freaking tutorial and get to the good part like blowing stuff up?
Thanks in advantage for any tips.

I wouldn't know what to do next, it crashed on each character I made and no way of restarting it without creating a new character.
If you don't have the right ore amount in the station tutorial, your going to get stuck again too. But you can atleast restart the station tutorial by deleting the pref file. I mention that if you crashed in later in the first tutorial losing the ore.
But overall, the other tutorials didn't crash.

the manual doesn't tell you much. my advice to you is to join a good corp. they can teach you what you need to know. :)

No No No. stay with your starting corp for a while til you know what you wanna do in the game. figure out the basic's for yourself. good luck, and if your ever really stuck contact me ingame and i'll give you a hand.

Hover your mouse over that little diamond untill it says [cargo container] then double click it. Open your cargo bay by right clicking your ship or the circle HUD thing on the bottom middle of your screen and selecting open cargo hold. Then drag and drop the ore from the cargo can to your hold. Now run off and shoot at a sentry gun or your nearest police officer... that's what I did my first day of beta. To my defence the ship I shot at was named derelict. CONCORD didn't want to listen to my side of the story though.

Hehe Lola don't give him any bright ideas . My first day I was out mining/fighting pirates in a .8 system in my shiny new Imicus, literally bought 10 minutes earlier. I see an enemy I hadn't seen before (Acolyte I). I target, shoot once, and you can guess the rest....Back to Velatorville
OneTwoOne, you have a number of options open. Firstly, you will find some experienced player freelancers who belong to your starter corp. You can ask for info there, as they are usually more than willing to help anyone not begging for a handout. You may also find that one of your corpmates just happens to make an anonymous donation (especially if you aren't begging) that will be enough get you a fully fitted Level 2 frigate. The manual is out of date and in some cases misleading.
If you go ahead and finish the tutorial (not essential though, but I think if you delete your prefs.ini file in the EVE/Cache folder, the tutorial will automatically reset once you dock in a station, if yours is borked), then do the 4 or so missions for your starter agent, you'll have a little cash in the bank and can then decide:
1) To do some missions for the agent that you are referred to, you'll make a little cash and the latest rumor has it that soon(TM), agents will be providing access to items that you won't be able to get any other way
2) Go mine a bit to make some quick cash for your next ship (and you want one asap). The cheap frigates would be Imicus for the miner/fighter hybrid or maybe an Atron for a more pure fighting ship. You can get either pretty quickly. I was happily mining and killing lowbie pirates in a .5 system with my second Imicus my second play session. I sort of skipped the lower fighting frigates and went straight for a Tristan, so I can't offer you much in the way of useful advice on the lower ones. You'll have fun fighting in a Tristan though.
3) Go kill lowbie pirates in .8/.7 in your starter ship. Equip a better gun than your Civvy, and make sure you have your shield booster set to autorepeat. Fun, but you'll find it takes a bit longer to make the cash for your next ship. Velators aren't exactly the greatest fighter going...
4) You can trade minerals or commodity items between systems via the market to make money. You will need to have a reasonable bankroll to make any money at this initially and you probably have enough to learn your first day or two without trying this one.
Anyway, hope that helps a little and welcome to EVE!
