When you undock you should have the mindset that you are going to lose that ship. It's a harsh world out there in space.

Were you venturing into low-sec? If so, low-sec isn't really the safest place to be if your not ready for it since players may shoot you on sight. And there are several reasons why someone would go after you; there are players that use new toons to go out and scout around, or a simple frigate or newbie ship that is fitted for a cyno, there are plenty or things.

Keep alert to your surroundings would be my tip there, and warp out if you don't feel safe.

Vets kill newbies with impunity because...

- we can.
- there are no rules stating we can't (unless it is a designated rookie system).
- you might have something valuable inside your ship (we can't tell until we crack it open... and if we asked you, you might lie).
- newbies with the right knowledge and the right friends can be just as dangerous as a multi-year veteran.

edit:

Also... EVE is a game centered around warfare, economics, and conflict between people.

There are no "safe zones."
Everything you do affects someone, somewhere.
Everything is relative.

Did you by any chance violate the New Halaima Code of Conduct?

Couple of things to advise you on.

Dont take anything from yellow cans and then promptly fly around on ap or sit there thinking ill go pop and have a smoke whilst flashy yellow.

Dont accept a duel unless you have the knowledge and ship to win.


Your about 2 weeks old and im presumming you actually did the tutorial. EvE for new starters can be a bit of a wake up call so ask questions and learn. You should still have the Rookie channel open and your in a noob corp. Use it

Ships in EvE are disposable tools, if you get blown up you either did something wrong and can learn from that, or you just had a good fight. Trying to blow up other people's ships is the core of EvE and what keeps the economy going.

It allows capital ships to jump to your location from pretty much anywhere nearby (at least the majority of your current region. This means that a noobship can call in a fleet of players and indirectly murder everybody nearby.

Vets killing noobs is the only way to preserve Eve. It sorts out the mice from the men. If you ragequit because you died then so be it. We would rather have ppl with balls who decide to continue with the game and become vets themselves than ppl who just whine about dying and quit after a few months.

Here's hoping you become the "latter"

Shooting everyone you can is a central theme of this game. One does not need reasons, and if I was to take the time to confirm your newbro status before shooting you then you could just as easily take advantage of my hesitation to shoot me.

If you aren't just here to troll us, I'd suggest you join E-Uni and learn to play the game, because crying doesn't solve anything.

I have applyd to E-uni and i dont cry abut getting killd. whant to knowe whay.
shi.. happens

No iam not trolling you. only curious

His spelling mistakes are not in keeping with someone who does not know the language well IMHO. In fact they suggest much more either deliberate mis-spelling or at least a native english speaker who is UNBELIEVABLY bad at writing. No biggy, but i felt like shooting him by half way through his first post.
