Almost home, will introduce myself and help you out with what I can then. For now, will leave this here:
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/WGoE
You are not alone.
In just the 5.5 years in EVE, I have played / encountered at least a dozen female gamers, some quite succesful and outspoken, others very relaxed and shy about it. So which ever asshat said to go play another game is part of the problem, a gamer = a gamer, where does the gender makes a difference in that?

I just started playing this video game (my first one ever!) and have been finding it very hard to understand. Someone told me I should put a post on here and introduce myself so here I am lol. Introducing myself. Hopefully there are some people out there that read this and play this as well that might be able to show me a few things or explain how everything works and what I need to do to get an understanding of it all.
I didn't think it would be so hard. One person in the game just messaged me after I asked a question and said that it wasn't a girls game and to go and play the Sims instead so I kind of want to make sure I get this now.
Tiff.
Goodevening Tiffany.
Welcome to EVE. If you enjoy this game, say goodbye to your social life .
Now, as for helping you, just ask away. The New Player Q&A is there for that sole reason, for new players like you (and others) to ask their questions and get them answered by us.
We are mainly a bunch of friendly people who like to help and assist new players with all their questions. But keep in mind, we ARE EVE players, so if you come across us in game, be on your guard. We won't hesitate to shoot you if you make yourself a target in any way. We only play nice (well, usually) on the forums.
As for some golden tips / rules in EVE:
1. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. This includes: Ships, modules, cargo and implants. 2. If it sounds too good to be true, it generally is. Scamming, theft, etc. are all perfectly legal in EVE. 3. When in doubt, right click it. 4. Make friends (and enemies) with people. Be social, talk to people, talk to local, get involved with groups/communities. 5. Take everything people tell you with a bucket of salt. Even us here on the forums (it's always good to cross check replies and/or wait for others to reply too). 6. Take your time. 7. ENJOY the game. 8. Take a look at the sticky posts here on the NCQA forum, there are some very very helpful guides linked in them. And I love shah's thread on how us veterans started in EVE. 9. NEVER, EVER let someone else tell you how to play this game. It's your subscription, it's your free time, use it as you see fit. There is NO way to play EVE in a wrong way. 10. If it sounds interesting, try it out. It doesn't take max skills to try something, that last level 5 of a skill only helps slightly in most cases. Trainign up to level 3 or 4 is usually more then enough to try something out decently and see if you like it. Unlike most games, EVE doesn't have classes in the way that you are stuck with it. The ship you use defines your class. 11. Ships in EVE are tools, as are the modules fitted. There is no real "Jack of all trades" ships. Pick a ship, utilize it's strengths and use it for 1 thing. Don't try to build a swiss army knife when you can have a whole toolbox with dedicated tools. 12. Don't dual tank (Shield OR armor, not both) and don't dual gun (1 type of gun, and then all of the same). 13. EVE in it's core is a PvP game (PvP = Player vs Player), thus NO place in space is safe. High-sec (1.0 - 0.5) is slightly safer then low-sec (0.1 - 0.4) and null-sec (-1.0 - 0.0). Nothing stops anybody from shooting you anywhere. Why, well "Just cause I can" is reason enough in EVE. Only in high-sec there is your EVE-Police called CONCORD, they will punish but they won't protect (like the real police too)
7 is one of the most important ones. And of course: Ask questions.
Ask them here, ask them in game (plenty of the regulars you will see here won't mind if you EVEmail them or start a conversation with them).
And if you ever want to get into contact with your fellow female gamers, as linked above by me. Read the link and join their public chat and ask for moderators to help you get in the real channel.

Tiff. Hello Tiffany, I am Ace, I am also from Australia, glad to see in New Eden, and EVE was my first game too, so don't worry, I understand what your going through, was the same for me when I joined 8 months ago, tell you what, I will be online tonight around 8PM till about 3 hours after DT, so for about 6 hours tonight, and if you want, you can ask anything and everything, if you can, download TeamSpeak 3, and tonight I will give you the info for Spectre Fleet's comm's, and I can talk you through anything and everything PvP or PvE, and all the basic mechanics, add me in game and make sure you tick Watch List, it will send you a notification when I am online. Till then fly safe and hope to talk to you soon! (And get you in one my fleets and kill peoples!) P.S. If you want we can go gank the guy who messaged you! :D Hi Ace, I didn't think anyone would reply lol. I'm happy to meet someone that is from Australia too! I am Queensland time but I will get into the game when I finish work. I will need to find out what DT, Team speak, Spectre, pvp, pve all mean. Oh and Gank. So I will get back to you once I have googled all of that :) I am not sure how to add people in the game yet or where my watch list is so I will work on that one too.
DT: Down-time. Happens daily at 11:00 EVEtime (the clock in the lower left corner of your Neocom menu) - which happens to be GMT (the timezone Iceland is in).
Teamspeak: 3rd party VoIP program that let's you talk to people instead of text chat. Essential in some cases in EVE, for instance PvP. Telling someone to shoot something is easier and quicker then to type it out.
Spectre: One of the many public fleets in EVE. They do PvP fleets very often. Check them out if PvP is something you like. Also a nice starter for PvP as a new players are: Agony Unleashed classes or the Newbro roams hosted by Redemption Road.
PvP: Player vs Player. In general people mean PvP as in ship vs ship combat. But PvP in EVE comes in many forms. If you are a trader, you are directly competing with other players, so even the market is a form of PvP.
PvE: Player vs Enviroment. So anything where you are fighting "the game". Missions for instance let's you fight computer A.I. and not other players (directly). Mining makes you shoot asteroids instead of players.
Gank: Short explaination (as I guess there already will be others that explained it even further), a form of PvP. You take your combat ship and (usually quickly) kill a player who isn't set up for PvP. Happens most often / only in high-sec.

Team speak is an audio chat app for groups. It is used in MMOs alot for coordinating group efforts. Like fleet ops in this game or raids in other games or battlefields etc... anything where groups of people need to operate and have "comms" while playing.
Spectre fleet is an NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It ) group that does public roams and shoots anyone not in fleet.
Gank just means you are going to go blow up the guy that said that to you regardless of what concord thinks about the interaction. Hello, ok so I need to know this game like you do! lol I don't think I can use Team speak then because I don't have a phone that uses apps? Spectre people are the bad guys in the game then? Ok I understand Gank now but I don't know his name any more and I would feel bad if we killed his ship though. From what I have read it takes lots to get good ships and stuff and I will just ignore those people so it's ok :)
Teamspeak is not a phone app. It's a program you install on your PC (though there is a smartphone app too for it).
In EVE, there is no good and bad. Each player is given a sandbox (EVE) and tools (your imagination), now go out and play. Some people will hate other people (Grrr Goons, Grrr CODE., Grrr Russians, Grrr [insert name of player / corp / alliance / community] ) while others like them and the other way around.
It depends who you fly with, what you like to do etc. on who you will class as a "bad guy" and a "good guy".

Ooh, if you were "her".
I would have shot you here and now. The amount of times I had to safe that ***** from getting into trouble again and again at that stripclub.

This seems like an easy way which goes well with my lazy personality lol. It's just an EVE thing, you will start seeing it after a bit, don't worry about it, people thought I was a troll when I first started, it happens to a lot of people, if you know to much about the game (I read up for months before I started, so I new a bit for a newbie), people who don't know anything at all, just takes time, you will do fine, just focus on learning the game, and having fun, and don't listen to the negative, and you will be fine :) Oh, reminds me, are you NT side of QLD? Or the East Coast? Just trying to work out when I have to get dinner cooked by, haha!
@Tiffany:
Just a friendly reminder, this game is SO big, nobody will have perfect knowledge about everything.
I (if I can judge myself) have a decent amount of knowledge about a couple of things, but there are many things that I do not know.
Don't ask me anything about probing or wormholes, I tried that when I started, didn't like it and thus never experienced it or gained knowledge about how that works.
And even I, after 5.5 years, will still learn new things every time and even if you finally understand something, CCP will likely change the game mechanics and you are back at square 1.

Benefit of the doubt here, it IS possible (after all EVE was my first true MMO I played). And if not, it might benefit that true new player that comes across the thread and reads the posts. Ok so now that I understand a bit more (thanks to Ace Lapointe who helped my on Teamspeakers last night). I gather Sol is a person and this person is a troller? Also I have been referred to as a few different things in my life but troll bait is a new one, I still don't quite get that one if someone wants to explain it. Did I do something wrong? Don't worry. Sol is cool too, but she likes to have fun and she will degenerate a thread quickly. If you are good, don't worry about people's suspicions you might not be. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt, people are just expressing that they have doubts because this is Eve, and we've been getting lots of trolls lately in NQ&A and it's got us a bit sensitive. Trust me, if there is one truth of the EVE forums, it is, "If you do something wrong, people will tell you in no uncertain terms." Repeatedly, and often interspersed with insults of varying relevance and imagination. So don't worry about what you "might" have offended someone or "might" have done something wrong. If you read the other threads you'll see the regulars come down hard on someone giving out bad info or acting inappropriate for NQ&A.
You are talking about my usual posting behaviour aren't you???

If I read inbetween the lines on his posts it seems he's calling himself a loser and then letting you know that he's not happy with that assesment.

I care 'bout nothing of these and so 'bout your gender.
This is just my destructive comment on how this polite and kind community reacts to females (fake or not - who cares). Arkoth there is nothing that obliges you to post here. I don't recall having seen your posts here in the NC Q&A before. You are accusing other's that are in here day after day helping out new bros and sises, regardless of who they are, of only helping this one in particular because she is a girl and you don't post in here except on this one. I'd say that you are the one only paying attention to the OP because she's a girl. Check the NC Q&A history. Pretty much every other poster on this thread is in here day after day helping new bros. Is this post longer than most? Yes. Did it grow fast? Yes. However the OP is brand new to gaming and has a lot of basic questions and needs a lot more help than the average player coming from some other game that has a background in both gaming and forum posting. Aside from yourself Arkoth every other poster here has gone out of their way to create text walls and threadnaughts to help hundreds if not thousands of new bros. Before your accusations can hold any water you need to reconcile that. Also worth noting is that the posters here will turn on a dime if the OP becomes presumptive or ingrateful. This OP has been appreciative which is a big part of why we are so happy to help. Does the fact that she has estrogen flowing through her body make her more likely to express gratitude and less likely to be a ****? Probably. However regardless of if the OP stands up to pee or sits down I will help any newbro or sis that needs it and shows some type of appreciation or gratitude. One further note Arkoth. This is the OP's thread so yes this thread is about her. Who it is not about is you and you seem to be trying to hijack this thread to get yourself some attention. Again this is the thread is the OP's thread you can be helpful to the OP or other newbros reading this thread or you can go create your own thread if you have question or go troll over in GD. However here in the NC Q&A we try to be helpful or remain silent.
Amen sister.
Also Arkoth, keeo in mind.
The pen is more powerful then the sword. And we regulars like write

Telling that you're girl is the best way in New Eden to get help, money, and - sad to say - a lot of attention from lonely loosers. I know you want very much to draw this conclusion, but unfortunately the data doesn't support it: - The Newbie Q & A forum has plenty of threads that reach 4-5 pages, just look at the first 3 index pages and you'll see several. - This is not 5 pages of answers to 1 question; she keeps asking questions and we keep answering. - Compare any other 4-5 page thread with this one, and you'll see that the usual people who answer questions in Newbie Q & A are replying. Thus, we're not doing anything differently than before; we're answering questions in a subforum designed for answering questions. - None of the replies in this thread are attempts to hit on her; they're just answers to the questions, or comments that she may be a troll. So you just called all of us lonely losers for no reason. I think you should apologize.
But, technically we are lonely losers.
After all, we play EVE
But that aside his comment was just stupid, with bad grammar (still looking which of the bolts is loose

A couple of things:
A. Bigger =/= Better B. Read the golden rules I wrote, a specialized ship >>> a jack-of-all-trades ship. Sorry, but a ship that can do a little bit of everything will suck at all those things. 1 ship = 1 job = 1 activity. If you want to PvP, grab a PvP ship. For missions grab a mission fitted ship. For mining, a miner etc. etc. C. A carrier might look like a nice ship, but you are far of from flying one as a new player. Minimum skills =/= the ability to properly fly it.
And yes, EVE is best played with a group. So find yourself a group to fly with.
Be it a community based group or an actual corporation that you join.

I don't want a slave ship lol I don't know what to get :( or how to make enough monies lol. Ships are tools in this game. First you need to decide what job that you want to accomplish then you can figure out what ship would be good for that. Carriers can not be flown in high sec currently. Also they are big and slow. Further they have very little use outside of PvP. And they are getting revamped this summer or spring with an expansion set to change capital ships. I would focus more on learning the game. If you decide at somepoint that you'd like a carrier to do something with then get one. However I think once that you see how big and slow battleships are you might second guess flying a cap.
Not to mention that ANY capital is a fleet ship.
A solo capital is just a nice juicy target if you don't have any back up to help you.

Have I gotten myself into trouble? I log on every day but nobody told me someone wants me blown up :( All I do is mine in the safe areas. I'm not hurting anybody. I made 5 million now with what I have mined. Am I allowed to pay off the bounty on me myself or something?
Couple of things:
A. Bounties are useless in EVE. Ignore them. Hell, my alts have bounties that I placed on them, just so they have the nice wanted sign.
Basically, all they do is give anybody who does kill you a small tip depending on what you lost. It doesn't make you a target or bad person.
B. NEVER, EVER join a corp that invites you. Join a corp that YOU want to join.

It's a PVP game, we blow each other up. You have to give up this idea that you're going to be able to avoid PVP if you just are nice and don't "hurt" anyone. Because you won't be able to avoid it; it's everywhere in this game.
Quoting for maximum effect.
EVE is a PvP game.
If you want absolutely no PvP, then EVE isn't the game for you.
Anybody can shoot anything they want, when ever and where ever they want. Some places it involves consequences other places it's does not.
So, PvP WILL happen, wether you are are a nice guy/gal minding your own damn business or a rudeless pirate. Simpley stating that you are a nice person doesn't change the fact that if someone wants to shoot at you, they will still do.
Just cause I can is enough reason in EVE to shoot someone.

You can collect on your own bounty and teach the bounty makers a lesson in the process. It can be done with a trusted fellow player, but as others point out, finding some you REALLY can trust in EVE isn't all that easy...
That is ancient info, utterly useless now
Bounty pay-out is 20% of loss value
So to clear a bounty with an alt (or friend) you have to lose 5 times the value in bounties in ships. Not very economical.

It's just how this game is. Given your attitude you probably wouldn't, this is my main and I post in a very similar vein; I've gotten hate mail for telling carebears how not to die, from carebears and the odd white knight , haven't gotten any from PvP folks though.
Proud main poster here too.
And y'all know HOW I post.
Hell, only times I used an alt to post is when ISD or CCP muzzle gagged my main once again

The worst part about a bounty is that it messes-up the portrait with a big red "wanted" banner.
Yup, that's the worst part, i.e. don't worry about bounties.
Messes up...I LOVE my wanted sign, makes me look dangerous.
I usually hang around a newby system in EVE and you should see all the new players look in terror when they see the wanted sign, while I'm just sitting there in a safe spot outside the station watching them and answering questions.
