I play Dust 514 religiously...you may recognize my screen name as I'm a remote explosives menace on the battlefield.
I just downloaded EVE and started rocking out on the starter missions and lo and behold, I wasn't out of the royal academy school place for a minute before I got blown up.
So now I have no armor repair thing and gatling laser whatever multifrequency deal......and lo and behold I can't buy them from the market because they cost $149,000 isk and I only have 5000
so I can't complete the tutorial...what the hell do I do? This is freaking ridiculous. I'm supposed to PAY my money from my job to play THIS game when I can't even get through the starter missions and learn how to play the game without being killed IN ONE MINUTE?
Seriously? |

If that doesn't help contact me in game and I can help you with a little ISK. - Dust is easy: you have a team, the other side has a team, everyone shoots and have fun. Eve isn't that easy. 
I don't expect it to be easy....but I expect to be able to get my bearings and learn HOW to play the game and then if I suck, I suck but I suck honestly and not because imperial navy whatever whatever's just kill me the second I leave the captain's quarters.
Its just no bueno...you know? Imagine someone brought you a pile of wood and woodworking tools and said build me a chair in 5 minutes and if you don't I'm going to blow your head off with this here shotgun.
That hardly seems fair to me *shrugs* that's all. |

Edit: And were you in a mission?
You can check what killed you by going to your character portrait, and going to "Combat Log"
It says "No Kills"
I keep getting killed by "Imperial Navy" something or other...everytime I poke my head out of the royal school deal and try to go anywhere the second I arrive, I've got imperial navy something or others in my ass killing me.
When I got the weapons or repair system things or whatever else, I wasn't even out of the royal academy for 60 seconds before I was dead. |

Here's the full story;
I opened EVE this morning, logged in and made my new character. I got in on this trial account deal and I walked around the captains quarters because its exactly the same as the merc quarters in Dust. I was pleased with this and being able to sit down on the couch lol
I opened the chat, added "comms.tnz" for The Neutral Zone (the corp I am in in Dust/Eve) and then opened the corp finder, searched out Neutral Zone, found it...applied, clicked over to the ps3 and accept my own application (I'm director of nzone)
I did what the tutorial said...hopped in my little capsule and warped out to pick up my ship. As soon as my little capsule guy got into the bigger impairor ship...I sat there for a minute reading the tutorial, BOOM! Blown up.
I was like well crap....but I saw an insurance message pop up and it was like hey we gave you a new ship so you're not SOL and I was like oh cool.
So I repeated the process, went and used to activation gate to hit a cargo bay thing like the tutorial said....hit the cargo bay, boom..immediately blown up by imperial navy something or other.
This happened 4 more times until FINALLY I got away and warped back to the school. I sat outside the school for a minute while I nuked myself a sammich in the microwave, came back...ship blown up sitting right outside the academy.
I was pissed by then but I did the next mission and it gave me some guns and repair stuff and I did the fittings and within 60 seconds of leaving the academy dock, I was dead.
Now I have nothing to complete the tutorial, no money to replace the crap and I'm sort of annoyed with that. |

I'm not trying to "troll" anyone bro...I'm just trying to get a fair shake to learn the game like everyone else. |

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for offering me help and assistance in this matter. I didn't realize our chosen side in Dust would impact EVE.
That makes perfect sense....thanks a lot, its saved me a lot of stress. I'm just going to biomass this character and remake it tomorrow :D
Thanks again...you were all really helpful. |
