Quoting HTFU and all that isn't really helpfull.

So if you're stll here, get it together, man up, write down the names of the haters here, and start planning payback. It might never happen, but who knows? This is EVE afterall ...

I havn't been playing very long at all to be honest, my first dumb mistake was flying through rancer in my capsule and losing my +3 implants
The pilot of the smartbombing battleship that made the kill though was a very pleasent fella to chat with so its all good :)

Op I feel for you. I remember the first time I did a lvl 4. No one told me that the NPc could scram. Then there was my very first bc - took it unfit into lowsec. Oh and the first time I looked at the ship scanner and said what are these anomalies wrapped to it to check it out and was suddenly blopped from the sky. Every player has been there and every player knows that the new player experience is fairly subpar. But the truth about eve is that none of the real fun in the game comes spoonfed from the dev. In fact eve as a pve game is pretty much crap. What keeps people coming to eve is the meta game - the interactions between players - which you can only really learn and experience from other players. So IMO skip going it on your own and forget the tutorials and join a newbie corp such as eve uni. You will have a better experience for it.

Tbh, a lot of you guys really need to take a step back and realise that playing the game for so many years has made you very very biased.

As a new player, coming into EVE right now, 7 or 8 years after release (dunno if thats correct), is hard. And if you're not used to sandbox games, it is even harder.

wow that mission is so easy, you don't have to fight anything, read the mission notes, fly there confirm them dead report back

really if you cant handle a tutorial mission, take a break rethink this game

I've only been playing about a week myself, i thought the tut's did a very good job of teaching you how the game works. I tried the game a few years ago, and quit about 30 mins into it. They have done quite a bit to teach you how the game works.

Today i found the beauty of wormholes, so far im down about 300m isk in blown up ships.. Don't fret that 2-3m isk you lost in a tut, it comes easy enough.

You're a week in and you've already YOLO'd 300m ISK? And I though I was bad about burning through the PLEX :)

Perfect attitude, I approve!

I have absolutely no intention of using Eve Survival. I might as well just watch a lets play on youtube and not even bother playing the damn game.
You actually enjoy knowing exactly what to take with you on a mission, knowing exactly what is coming?
Yet you're one of those that are telling me to not expect Eve to hold my hand, and that I don't have a tough enough skin for it? Lol, Irony.

So I've been playing the game, and I've been enjoying it for the most part. The user interface is probably one of the most cluster****ed and downright unintuitive I've ever used, and the fact I have to constantly use google screams the developers really didn't put much thought into accessibility for new players, but I digress.

I've been mining whilst doing the tutorial missions, and have a nice few ships I've been getting to know and getting fitted appropriately.

Then I try a mission where I have to escort a ship of civilians. I go there, they are all dead and out of nowhere a group of enemies start pounding the crap out of me. Ok, I guess I've got to destroy them.

No. My capacitor runs out in seconds trying to repair my shields and hull whilst I scramble trying to figure out why my weapon systems aren't doing anything. Oh, because I have absolutely no chance of destroying these things at all. I'm in a tutorial mission and I'm being attacked by things I have absolutely no chance against. The one line in the mission briefing that alluded to this was...

'If anything seems amiss report back to station'

8 words out of 100 that hint at what the mission is going to go like. When I realised I was in an unwinnable situation I attempted to warp back to my station, getting destroyed in the painfully slow process of warming up my warp engines.

Needless to say I was pissed. A tutorial mission that pits you against people you have no chance of beating. The entire mission consisted of going to a place, and then running away from it. WTF kind of tutorial is that?

So now I'm down my best ship, best modifications and my best weapons and all my ammo. All because of a terrible tutorial
mission. Needless to say It's somewhat taken a large chunk out of my interest in the game.

I have nearly 5 million credits, but I'll be spending most of that trying to refit a new ship, so I've literally just wasted the first few days of my trial. TBH I just can't be bothered trying to earn that kinda stuff back at this early stage, so I think I'm out.
