These are based on Akita T's Golden rules for new players, originally published on the old forums.
Be able to afford a loss
* Never fly something (or with something in the cargo) you can't afford to lose. Yes, not even in highsec. Meaning that you should not fly a ship you cannot afford to replace and refit.
Consent to PvP
* You consent to PvP when you click "undock". * You are not safe in 1.0 security space. CONCORD is there to punish, not to protect. Get used to the idea. * In most cases, the only way to be 100% safe from aggression inside the game is to be docked in a station. Being cloaked in a secret safespot could work too.
Everyone can scam - and so can you
* Never grant corporation rights to stuff you can't afford to lose either. No exceptions. * People offering free stuff? Probably traps. Be cautious. * Free stuff usually isn't. Not even minerals you mine yourself. * If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Paranoia pays off here. Double-check everything. * Scamming and unethical behavior some would consider griefing is not only allowed, it is encouraged and rewarded by the game mechanics. * Harassment or real-life threats are not ok, and you can get a shiny ban for them. Learn the difference.
Experience matters, not ISK or Skills
* Just because some character is just a few minutes old doesn't mean he's a newbie. Many people have alts. The reverse is also possible, people come back after very long breaks, and characters are sold. You could see year-old newbies around too. * Skills that take less than 1 day to train are short skills. Over one week is long. * You're in this game for the long haul. Don't expect to do something meaningful in the grand scheme of things in the first day of your first trial account ever. * All other things being equal (experience, skills), superior numbers more often win a fight rather than superior ship value. However, things are hardly ever equal. * Total skillpoints count doesn't matter much either, it's level of relevant skills to the current situation that does. Yes, that does mean a 2 mil SP combat-oriented newbie could badly beat up a 60 mil SP industry-oriented veteran.
Bigger is not always better
* More expensive stuff is not always better stuff. * Slightly better stuff usually costs many times more than slightly worse stuff. Choose wisely. * Tech-2 is usually cheaper and better, but harder to fit. Sometimes it's not better. Other times it's not cheaper. And occasionally, neither cheaper nor better. * There are no "solopwnmobiles" in EVE. Everything you can fly blows up if it's shot hard enough. * With enough skills and experience, ship size really doesn't matter all that much.
Use the in-game info
* Show Info and Variants->Compare are your best friends. Use it on all stuff you can. * Always check your ship insurance before you undock. If it's a T2 ship however... not that important.
Unfair circumstances?
* There is no such thing as "a fair fight" or "an unfair fight". There's only a fight. Circumstances are irrelevant. * Just because you can fly something doesn't mean you should.
You will lose stuff, don't worry!
* If you PvP long enough, you will lose your ship. It's only a matter of where and when. * If you logoff in space without a PvP timer, you're only safe after 1 minutes... and then only until you log back in. If you logoff with a PvP timer, it's at least 15 minutes. Bottom line, once a fight started, don't logoff. You'll only die anyway. * Somebody, somewhere has better skills than you, more experience than you, is smarter than you, has more friends than you and can stay online longer than you. Just pray he's not out to get you. * If you lose stuff, it's almost always your fault. Really, only yours.

You consent to PVP when you hit register more like. Even while docked Players can ruin your day especially if you're a station trader or hanging around in trade hubs with all that trash in local.

PvP in eve does not require undocking. It is very much possible lose a billion or two by station trading.

Impressive. Useful and to the point information. And most importantly no overly flowery language to get people right away into the correct mindset. Looks good.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I have never subscribed to the idea that clicking 'undock' is consenting to PvP.
I do accept that it can be a consequence but I don't accept that it constitutes consent.
Having said that I don't have a problem with the consequence of choices, that's what the whole point of the place is.
This New Citizens Q&A post is a great reminder that you didn't join My Friendly Pony land.
Yes, newbie friend, it was grossly unfair that you got tackled and killed on your first outing in low-sec. But: you know their names AND: you get to shoot back. |

Nice banner.
The problem with this type of advice is that it sounds good to veteran players, but to a newbie it just looks like a random assortment of rules that are arbitrary or don't make sense.
Now if you were to change each line into a hyperlink to a more verbose example of why that rule exists and what can happen if it's not followed, then the whole list would be more useful to newbies. But then, the post becomes a wiki index page, and, oh snap, you guys removed yours.
Maybe the EVE Uni people would be willing to set it up like that. |

I'd suggest little videos, or clip compilation, that show how these points play out. I'm sure it would result in a lot of laughs from vets and actually help new players even more. Sometimes people need pictures because words are hard. |
