No not done the exploration tutorial yet because the beginning tutorials said it did not matter which tutorial you did first. Again bad instruction.
Not sure what those charts mean but thanks anyway.

Why buy it when the tutorial is for mining ? Strange and again why does the tutorial not tell me to do this ?
So sad this game is so vague with instructions it must lose so many potential players at the start because it is just too hard to learn.

Mining Plagioclase will get you all three of those minerals. Find Plagioclase in 0.9-0.8 systems in Gallente/Minmatar space.

How do I get to this location ?

Once you find a system just right click in space..

Is there no way to search for Plagioclase in 0.9-0.8 systems in Gallente/Minmatar space ?
Just jumping around randomly in hope seems to be a bit strange.

Mission briefing
Your agent wants you to make 20 units of Cap Booster 25, in two batches: you'll need mexallon, pyerite, and tritanium to do the job. Again, it doesn't matter how you acquire them, though you might need to look outside your current solar system.

Helpful hint: Pyroxeres, Plagioclase, Jaspet and Hemorphite ores produce these three mineral types when reprocessed.


Here we go again ...... where and how do I find out where to mine these ores ?

1. Undock
2. Right click in space
3. Use asteroid belt drop down menu
4. Warp to an asteroid belt
5. Check overview for type of ore needed/wanted
6. If ore needed/wanted is not in belt return to step 2 (and choose a new belt)
7. If ore is in belt, target ore by holding alt and left clicking on target ore either in space or on overview
8. If ore you need/want is not in the system you're in, go to a new system and start again at step 2.

If that is too much for you to handle, go to station and buy the materials you need.

I would say fly safe, but it sounds like you're not flying at all. Get out of station and fly around a bit. Check out your surroundings. Warp to locations on your overview. Quit acting like this is a linear game, it isn't. You have to dive in head first and realize you may trip up a few times before you get it down.

The tutorials are just EVE Online's version of natural selection. Are you a lion or a gazelle?

1. plagioclase is not in 0.8 or safer space - it is in 0.7 or lower.

Good luck to you and don't get discouraged.

That's fairly common in how EVE works. Given goals, not exact steps that must be taken.

I have done the tutorials a few times over the years .. but there is no way for me to do them without all the knowlesdge i have accumulated .. so i really cant know what you are going through.

if its of any help .. i will say on my first day of playing i undocked and flew straight for 5 mins before figuring out how to do anything with my ship.

There is so much to learn in EvE .. it is a hugely complicated game .. but that is what makes it so rewarding.

It doesnt make sense now .. and each new tutorial is going to add new things and take you out of your almost non existant comfort zone... but thats the way of EvE ..

Keep asking questions, add the main eve Help channel, (if you dont know how then google the answer - get used to googling for info)

Do worry about jumping into other systems you can use your Assetts Button to find out where your "home" system is .. the one where you have your "stuff" for now.

The map is an amazing tool to show you all sorts of info .. from the Security Level of System, to ones with agents you can access, to pilots in space to how many ships got blown up. there are so many layers info .. you can spend a long time studying it . What you need to use it for now is (A) Security Level (to know where to go or what to avoid) (B) Station Services. So you know which has medical, repair, research etc..

When in doubt right click.

Dont give up because its hard. The tutorial doesnt so much show you how to do stuff .. as opposed to show you some of the things you can do, and in doing so get you to teach yourself how to do stuff.

Because EvE is as complex as it is .. the tutorial can not hold your hand too much .. it needs to begin to foster in the player a sense of having to research, ask questions, think, record, read, ask more questions and to just try stuff.

Eventuallly when you finish the tutorial i would suggest joining EvE University ,.. i think it would be a good place for you to start your EvE carreer off .. well structured training corp / alliance with years of experience and helping people find their way in EvE.. also there web site is an amazing resource .. find it and bookmark it sooner rather than later.

Good luck and dont give up .. the game being a challenge is a good thing ..
