Don't shoot those annoying jet cans/wrecks clogging up your overview!!!! It'll end very badly for you!
I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

What ever corp you chose to join just be sure they actually take care of you and not just house you. Having a group that will actually show you how Earn Isk, Survive and fill a roll you really enjoy is rare. It's common place for Corps to simply throw Wiki links in the chat and expect you to swim. Also don't get discouraged by the bad Corps. |

Lot's of useful responses, good first impression of you lot :).
I've completed the first few explorer missions now. Starting to bolt things onto my navitas. Then discovering I should really check the power needs of stuff before I buy it. Oh well, that missile launcher will come in handy on something else I'm sure.
I have a small shield thingummy that has upped the hp of my shields, a 150mm rail gun with antimatter slugs (ammo types, lot's of choice, no clue as to what is what), a laser turret (do I need all the different types of standard crystal?) and the free kit you get with explorer missions.
I seem to have acquired some ships to redeem. Worth building now or save them to add to another character? I have popped the probe onto this character because I was curious.
Skills wise I'm just getting to level 3 things that involve seeing, targeting, power and cpu management, shields etc.
Anything that's obviously daft with that approach for the moment?

Do the tutorial/career agent missions, blow stuff up, get blowed up.
Then go join Eve University.
They have an excellent website, and while they aren't the best to learn about the PeeVeePee's, they are still the fastest way to basically learn about all the aspects of the game.
You then can decide what parts of the game interest you the most.
Good luck, and have fun.
Remember, it's just a game.
You know that guy on YouTube completely losing his mind because he got scammed/ambushed/shot by his own corp?
Don't be that guy.

F.B.
I recall when I first started EVE that I had a massive amount of difficulty differentiating the myriad shield modules and weapons, so hopefully this list will help clear up any possible confusion.
Shield Tank modules (Mid Slots):
Shield Amplifiers - These are passive modules that do not need to be activated to boost the resistance profile of your shields. For example, a kinetic deflection amplifier will boost the kinetic damage resistance of your shields by a certain % simply by having it fit to your ship.
Shield Hardeners - These are active modules that cost capacitor to activate and drain it each time they cycle to stay active. The % resistance boost you gain with these is larger than if you use an amplifier.
Shield Boosters - These are active modules that cost capacitor to activate and repair a certain amount of shield HP each time. These boosters come in two types, ancilliary and normal. The ancilliary boosters are able to take shield booster charges and consume them rather than capacitor to repair shields while the normal boosters will consume capacitor.
Shield Extenders - These are passive modules that will increase the amount of total shield HP you have. Typically they are used as a part of "buffer" tank, which involves extending the amount of Effective Hit Points (EHP) you have in order to survive longer than the enemy you are shooting at. Often buffer tank fits will make use of a combination of extenders and hardeners to maximize survivability. Very popular for mission running, and is often paired with a shield booster to help mitigate damage in higher level missions.
Railgun Ammo Types:
Railguns fire hybrid charges, which deal a set ratio of kinetic and thermal damage. There are various charge types bonused for different things such as improved tracking speed, reduced capacitor usage, improved range. Antimatter is one of the highest damage type hybrid charges and has the lowest engagement range. It is typically used at close range.
Other variants like Lead (reduced capacitor usage) and Iron (I believe this has increased range) are used in other situations once you have ships that can project out to longer ranges than your current T1 frigates.
Laser Crystals:
Laser crystals are ammo that can be quickly swapped in and out of laser turrets. There are different crystals meant for use at different ranges, much like hybrid charges. Multi frequency is the shortest range crystal with high dps. Standard is meant for medium-long range engagements. X-Ray is for close-medium range. If you aren't certain of the range of a certain crystal, simply fit it and mouse over the module in your fitting window to see your optimal and falloff.
As a new player, one of the most important things you can do is train your fitting skills: CPU Management, Powergrid Management, Weapon Upgrades, Hull Upgrades, Shield Compensation, Shield Management, etc. I would recommend you consult the Magic 14: http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?t=81073&p=706004 for a basic guide at what to train to at least level 4 if not 5 within the first few months of your play time. |

Since many noobs will likely read this thread, I won't BS here like I usually do in other threads. DO the tutorials. ( Allow me to repeat that.) Do the tutorials. Don't listen to the cool kids that say, "Aw, you don't have to do tutorials. Just play!" One reason is, a lot of cool kids say that then look for these people with little clue to the game just to GANK THEM! So, remember, the wolf advised Red Ridinghood. After you do the tutorials, including the advanced set, go to Arnon and do Sisters of EVE. While you're doing all this keep an eye out for social contacts. If you luck out quick and get into a player-run corp, don't let the epeen strokers divert you from the above goals, DO THE TUTORIALS, DO SISTERS OF EVE. When you have that stuff done, you'll be oriented enough, with enough munny and ships, to make decisions. Google is your friend. Type "EVE _________" for whatever you're curious about. You'll be AMAZED. Use your ingame browser. Read your info panels. (Only ask in a chat window if those two fail, which will be never.) EVE players like to lie. The first rule here is not "have fun." It's "trust no one." That's for a reason, not to be cute. AND.... HAVE FUN!! Best thing about the tutorials is they force you to do things that you may never have occurred to you. If you want to be exposed to all of the many different things you can do in EVE, you can either read pages and pages of text, or you can do the tutorials.

Oh, boy. I remember my first days in EVE! Very exciting and wild time.
The small choices you make...how the Butterfly Effect truly does dominate your path in EVE.
Welcome to the party! Hope you stay for a long time! There's no other game quite like EVE!
I recommend completing the Career Agents first. :P
Recommendations:
-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)
-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)
-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!
Tune in to NewEdenRadio!

OMG.
So much to do that is just admin.
Getting my skill plan sorted out. Then waiting for it to get me the stuff I need. I had not made bad choices thank god so some is already done. Is there a way to import the plan into the game so I can cut down on the clicking? Waiting for a skill to complete before I can inject the skill book is a pain in the butt.
Realising all these cool ships I've got now are not flyable until I have the skills to make the modules and rigs function :(
Ah well, fun first day in corp but mostly my game time was spent sorting things out. I only undocked to work out insta dock and warp thingumajigs. |

Yeah though of course those sort of individuals have lots of time to play and generally little money for subs. Living in a psych ward or jail does not automatically make you a psychopath and bad person either.
It goes without saying if you are young, fit, healthy, attractive to the opposite sex, with money and opportunities and are free to get out of the house at will you likely spend far less time online then someone institutionalized. disabled, living in a war zone or housebound due to parents/partner/kids etc etc .

Too busy playing and learning to post an update here for a while, a good sign I think.
Null sec, after a move from cloud ring down to querious is no longer as terrifying as it was. Just be paranoid enough seems to be the way. I have completed stage one of the learning process and I've stopped dying for REALLY stupid reasons. I now only die for quite stupid reasons.
Fleet stuff, without a clue as to the mechanics of the game, not fun. Now, after two months of skilling up and shooting rats and not dying to every neut I see, I may try it again.
I love the fact that eve does not try to be "fair" or "balanced". it's all about the efficient butt **** of the other chap by the most efficient means possible. Or in my case, avoiding said bumming. They have four svipuls and you're in a thrasher? Hard cheese. Run or die. this is good, and there is fun to e had crashing said gate camp and getting clear to a safe. In an iteron, Only lost 3 in 2 days figuring out that one...hohum, cheap lessons :)
I am now getting the itch to start killing other people. And nicking their stuff. I may need a second account for that....

LOL Although...the playerbase in this game tends to be a bit older, so it's probably more likely for you to be rebalanced by a 24-year-old uni student or a 34 / 44 year-old (sometimes acting just like a 14-year-old, but often not - still will gladly "rebalance" you though :) ). Welcome.

interesting market mechanic used that I was not aware of. Turns out that you can modify an order very quickly. Tired, greedy and stupid. DOH! Much head to keyboard interface.
I only paid over 30000% over market rate for something, tum te tm

Actually before I started playing EVE i heard about the scams that are popular here. I even had the scammer "manual" in a form of html page, where he described how to trick people into giving scammer a lot of money. Seeing how long the scams are here, I think they are succesfull, and are to stay, as claimed by scammer that wrote "manual".
