1. Don't trust anyone but me. I merely require full faith for my loyalty. ![Blink](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_blink.png)
*Side note: While "don't trust anyone" is an axiom that goes back to the beginning...it should be replaced with...don't trust anyone with your isk, skills, and skillpoints. Trust is necessary for not only empires to grow (and crumble), but also for fleets, and believe it or not...for the health of the game and discourse. Don't listen to naysayers above me.
2. Gonna mine in highsec? Buy a permit. And tank your barge. And align to your dump spot. And have off-grid safespots in-line with your alignment. And tank your Orca. And do not take your Orca to the belt. Or your freighter. All of these things will increase "little newbie worker bee" survivability. And if you do choose to do the exact opposite, take your loss like a man, so you don't end up a "lolmail" or on Minerbumping. Wouldn't want you to be the next "victim" of "harassment" because some people don't understand...........
3. It's just space pixels. No matter how much time you put into it. Or effort. It's is just lines of code. Do not let it jar you. Only once was I "shaken" by having non-consensual PvP thrown in my face. And I was merely shocked, left floating in my pod in space.
15 minutes of shock and a mistake learned = Alright, Alright, Alright. (100m given by the "ganker," words of encouragement, and knowledge.)
Local sperge and the same mistake repeated 30 times in a row = tears to sustain someone like myself.
4. Do not log into Teamspeak. If you do, make sure to stealth record with at least Audacity. Never know these days whether you will get shown the door for logging into TS.
5. Have fun. While the cornerstones of this game are spaceship violence, political and financial intrigue, and imperialism........please, please, please.........do not fall into the trap that isk somehow equates to fun per hour. Sure it lubricates the process of getting to the "fun," it is no means the "cornerstone" of EVE.
Have a nice day.
