To the OP.
Eve is different then most games in that it doesn't lead you from mission to mission. You have to actively search them out.
First way. Every time you dock at a station, look on the right and see which agents are available to you. those that are available to you, add them to your address book. Then from then on they'll be listed under your agents.
this allone should net your 30 or so agents with hundreds of missions each, just from doing your tutorial missions.
After you've played a few weeks and want to focus on improveing your faction with one group, you can go through your Charactor sheet, go to standings, find the corp/group you want to improve faction with.
For example, Caldari Navy is a common one. Click on the info button for that..
In the new Caldari navy window, look under agents.
it'll list the different departments in the CN, and the agenst that are available to you.
You just find one that is say lvl 1 Quality 17 or 18 or so. Or as high as you can go. Add that contact to your address book, set them as the destination and go do their missions.
Basically rinse/repeat this till you are sick of missions, which should be around lvl 4. this will give you missions for as long as you want to play.
Most people seem to use missions for earning money, unless they are a miner/trader/rat hunter.
it's done me well for 2 months now, and paid for every ship I have. I'm currently saveing for when I can use a Battleship.
Some of the things in this game are backasswards. And if you are a technically inclined person, you probobly do what I do, and curse the dev team for doing some things the way they do.
For missles, I hanve't found a way to get their true MODIFIED stats while in space. But if you are in a station, and go to the fitting window, and right click/info on missles on the ship(not in the cargo hold, but already equiped) then you will see the MODIFIED stats.
This game has a LOT higher learning curve then most games.
If you are playing with your wife, you have part of the problem solved, in that you have someone to team with right off. this helps.
Stick it out, and keep trying.
Higher education isn't always fun, but it's a long term goal. Graduate, and things get better. eve is the same way. the first few months are a struggle as you learn things, figure things out, make mistakes, and learn from those.
but once you "Graduate" things improve gradually.
