New citizen here. Just signed up for a new subscription and was supposed to get a new ship. Went online, no new ship, no mail notification, no instructions...etc. What am I missing?

At the character selection screen, there should be a option at the bottom to move the ship to one of your characters.

When you log in, and are on the character select screen, you may have an option at the bottom of the screen to redeem items.
If you're in game, the easiest way to get at it is to go to the NES, and use the redeem option at the bottom of that screen.
Woo! CSM 9!

You will also be able to claim a battlecruiser of your choice from Aura once you dock at the station in HED-GP (search system in locations). Be aware this is a new player thing only though and you'll only be able to claim it once.

Whatever you do, do not do that. Obvious troll and fairly lame considering it is aimed at a new player.
You should post questions like this in the New Players Q&A section, where moderators will hopefully do a good job of screening out this kind of obvious BS.

OP don't listen to this guy, he's just trying to keep you away from your free ship. Pretty lame move if you ask me. I bet he just wants all the free ships to himself.
HED-GP is a great place where you will learn a lot about EVE, that you would never learn being stuck in and around your starter system, mining or whatever it is the renowned, self proclaimed experts in newbie chat is telling you to do.

Could your lame-ass troll be any more obvious?
OP, HED-GP is a nullsec system owned by a player alliance. If you fall for this stupidity, what will likely happen will be you getting killed, a lot, on the way there, then getting scammed and laughed at if you do actually get there. You can actually cross-check everything I am saying with the system search tools in game and a little forum searching 
By all means, make your own choices, just remember that you are more likely to get genuine and well meaning advice if you stick to the New Citizens Q&A section of the forum, instead of weak and obvious trolling like this guy

Well there's only really one way to find out isn't there? All I'm saying is, you will receive a free battlecruiser if you dock in HED-GP. Also, curious, what battlecruiser would you pick?

Well, although it is good for new players to expand their experience, it is usually best to gain it at a reasonable rate.
Going straight to a somewhat suicidal place for a new player, is generally not wise.
If one tells you not to take any notice of the whirling blades and gratings and sprinklers to wash the blood away, because there is a free shiny at the end, it is worth noticing if he is licking his lips and is firing up the barbequeue first before going in.......

Even if you make it to HED-GP station you won't be able to dock there. 
As a general rule of thumb: If something sounds too good to be true, it most certainly is a scam.
Oh, and post these sort of questions in the " EVE New Citizens Q&A" subforum. If someone tries to mislead/scam you there he risks getting banned for it.
Here in "General Discussions" the normal EVE rules apply. (meaning scamming people is allowed) |

you won't be able to fly the battlecruiser for months so I suggest waiting and learning a little about the game first. (HINT: google: HED-GP)
Also the 3rd rule of EVE, trust nobody unless you know where they live. And it's near enough to visit them and beat their ass.

Worth re-stating that.
But don't trust what people are telling you on the forums. Use the in-game search tools. Don't start your EVE career with being scammed.

I suggest you look a Gnosis.
Its basically a ******* Battlecruiser Noobship with set bonuses.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Confirming that WASPY is an ******* and you should completely ignore him.
Likely his only way he can win is trying to bait a new player into a fight.

Wow, did I kill your renter alt or something recently? You seem very upset.
Also, before you reveal your inner 'sperg and make false accusations, check my killboard.

Well, you will have some time to grind up the ISK needed for them.
And when you finally get into them, you will find out they are a "content coffin" as you will be bored pretty quickly with flying a titan.

Since this thread got moved to New Citizen Q&A, might as well give some advice to the OP *puts on fedora*.
First of all, EVE is a pseudo-political internet spaceship PVP sandbox where as opposed to other theme-park styled MMO's, in EVE you create your own content.
Number 1 on your list should be to join a player corp. Preferably one of the larger entities as they will be helpful to newbies, provide you with free stuff, shower you with ISK, and teach you all there is about EVE.
There's a few I would recommend for a new player like yourself (Look them up in game or google them, etc..) The one I would recommend the most is:
- Goonswarm Federation - You will literally have the best new player experience (IMO) and become space rich from day 1. But the goon culture isn't for everyone. ( You will soon find out that the majority of eve are very "Grrr Goons!").
They aren't EVE players, but a part of the 'Something Awful' community, and they just happen to play EVE.
Basically their philosophy is to get people into cheap ships (Does your ship have guns fitted? yes? get in!), and fight in overwhelming numbers with no fucks given. As a newbie you will get so many free ships and ISK you won't have time to lose them all. Get in that huge 1000 man fleet in a T1 frigate and tackle things for everyone. No not believing in yourself!
So if it sounds interesting, join the SA community and get posting. Also read their wiki on how to join before you apply in game.
- Brave Newbies - Basically a place created by newbies, for newbies. You will learn the game with other newbies and have tons of fun. Have never been in BRAVE personally, but they're mainly a Reddit community I think, so should be easy to lurk their sub-reddit and learn more about them.
- EVE University - First of all, go to their wiki, then bookmark said wiki. It's one of the best public EVE wiki's.
One of the oldest training corps in EVE, which exists to teach you all about EVE in a class/lecture based manner.
- RvB (red federation and blue alliance) - Is pretty much what it sounds like. Red is at a permanent war with Blue, and pvp focused. A great place to jump directly into pvp in highsec as a newbie.
I could list more, but basically do some research on the history of EVE, and current events, and join a corp that sounds fun to you.
And some general tips are; Don't undock what you can't afford to lose, and don't be afraid to lose your ship. Learn game mechanics.
This is already a wall of text, so i'll end it there.
TL;DR - Join a known corp, make some friends, don't be afraid to lose ships, and have fun.

I can confirm this guy is 100% legit. I got my free battlecruiser and the game has never been better. People are just angry they can't afford to recruit you (with a new battlecruiser for example) so ignore the haters, Wasp is genuinely trying to help you out as it makes the game better for everyone. |

steady on guv, I'm not schizophrenic, this is my only account. i'm probably one of few not hard core enough yet to handle more than one character but with Wasps guidance and sound knowledge I'm sure I'll be just as good as you in about 3 decades. So watch out :)

Stick to the new citizens q&a (trolling is explicitly forbidden here) till you get your bearing.

I had a ****** day at work and had a few beers after work so there might be some truth behind that.
My initial plan was to see OP travel to HED-GP, die hilariously, then depending on how they reacted from said situation, i would or wouldn't give them a free battlecruiser of their choice (Hence why i failed twice trying to get OP to name their favorite battlecruiser.. so yeah).
But then the life of the party entered the thread and got their whiteknight panties strapped firmly, and sperged up my beautiful and generous plan for OP.
