- "Greetings Torvalyk Glenu. I am the voice of the automated systems aboard your Ibis Frigate. Let me give you some pointers since this is the first time you have connected as a capsuleer to a Neocom onboard a starship..."
Welcome to the universe of New Eden!
Your pilot is jacked-in to a rookie ship and is ready to fly. What should you do now?
Your first days are going to be spent learning to fly and seeing a little space.
Things You Should Do
- Take the Crash Course – Running through the full in-game tutorial will help ensure a complete understanding of the basics including flying, fighting, and mining. You’ll find that you have a solid understanding of the basic game mechanics after taking the Crash Course, which is part of the full tutorial. When done you’ll have some isk in your wallet, and you’ll be able to leave your starter ship behind and fly something a little more fancy (and survivable!)
- Learn the Neocom – These are the menu items leading to the major systems of the game. Most game functions come from the Neocom, so it’s a good idea to try all of the buttons and see what they do.
- Run some missions - Not only do these help you get money quickly, but they help gain you standing, and familiarize you quickly with fighting, navigation, and interaction with the environment. Pick a Level 1 agent in the system you started in and start a conversation. It will lead to an offer to run a mission, and you’ll learn by doing, and make some ISK while you’re at it!
Things You Can Do
- Choose a Career – How do I make money? What defines my pilot character? EVE is a game where you aren’t set in your ways, so it’s more of a pointer to the type of character you’d like to be. Career is used here as a “style of play” as opposed to an actual choice you must make in the game. If you found that you like mining in the Crash Course, you may want to read up on being a good miner, and tailor your character toward that. If it’s PVP that you hunger for, aim that way.
- Explore - Now that you know the basics, explore EVE! There is an entire galaxy of systems, thousands of people to encounter, and no end to the possibilities you can navigate through. Destiny is yours to create. Bookmark places that you find of interest, so that you can come back later.
Keep In Mind
- Keep track of things you like about EVE. Do I like mining? Do I like blowing things up?
- Keep track of things that intrigue you. What about wormholes? How do I mine moon materials? You may be a long way from doing these things, but your interests will set you on a career path that eventually gets you there.
- Do you want to remain solo or join with others? If you like to play in a group, explore player-run corporations. There are many corporations that are recruiting, and you’ll learn so much more from actual players than you will from an EVE Encyclopedia!
- Do you want to PVP, PVE, manufacture, or fight in the faction wars? Each takes combat skills and ships, but each is different in approach. To begin, though, learning how to shoot in a mission will help in any shooting you do later!
- EVE is a game. Accept the fact that you’ll lose your ship and the cargo in it. You’ll be set back a minor amount. Don’t worry – you’ll be back up and running in no time!
- When in doubt, ask: other players in local, advice channel, EVElopedia, EVE forums, submit a ticket. There are lots of ways to ask for help, or to get a simple answer to a question. If someone laughs at your question, label them a jerk and target them for destruction. Most people in the game are happy to help.
