Read through that.
I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.
"You have the right not to be killed"
do the tutorial, then do "cashflow for capsuleers"
Yeah, just make sure you do all of the tutorial and of course, pay attention. It may seem very complex at first and it is, but the tutorial will teach you a lot. It's extremely helpful and you get some very good rewards at the end of it! It covers all the basics. Also, welcome to eve and hope you enjoy your time!

go there, join them.... AFTER completing the ingame tutorial.
lots of other stuff, and you might end up remaking your starting toon; but honestly, a day or two won't make a big diff in the long run.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
And don't worry if some of your starting stats are less than ideal; I have high Wisdom and Intelligence and low perception and willpower, but I can still train my gunnery and spaceship skills at a reasonable enough speed.

also, do a lot of talking in game or get into a good corp like EVE -U and talk to others, great way to learn is by asking those who have done it as well
ohh and be prepared to get ganked in a pointless gate camp.. Thought i would take advantage of the 5 day free offer. Logged in and set course for some of my stuff, 13 jumps. Got to about jump 9 -Rancor- and ran into a

And build up your ISK reserve so if something happens or you buy equipment you can't use or need a skill to use it you don't have to scrounge.
I found having ISK in the bank helped alot and it is pretty easy to come by quickly with a little mining.

gatecamps happen in a 0.4 system or less, a place you should not be going for a while
you have a free clone that will be enough for the next 20 days and the next grade clone cost less than 100k something you can get with 1 lvl 1 mission
so welcome and i do the tutorials, join a helper corp and never fly anything you can;t aford to loose.
fly safe (0.5 or higher)

I joined eve in 2004, had 3 accounts and was taking advantage of a "please come back" promo from CCP. Free for 5 days. The toon I was using has 9,000,000 SP.
Sure, it's my own fault. I had to alt+tab out for 5 min whilst doing something, tried to alt+tab back in - had to do it twice to get the screen back, by which point I had been vapourized.
Maybe in a moment of madness I didn't consider that someone would still derive orgasmic pleasure from ganking people in shuttles at 02:15 GMT.
My bad.
Of course, the whole world is in your timezone.

yeh, as soon as i hit post, i thought some berk would make that quip. As I said, at the time i din't consider it. AT THE TIME AT THE TIME AT THE TIME.
But really, thanks for the insight, it changed my world.
My biggest form of advice by far is to do the tutorial from start to finish no matter how long and boring it may seem. So many questions can be answered within it, and if you don't bother to go through most within EVE will be quite hostile towards your questions.
Never fly into lowsec space unless you are prepared to meet hostile activities or you have the capital to purchase a new ship, equipment, etc. With that never fly what you can not afford to replace.
I suggest trying everything from mining to combat. Get yourself familar with what EVE has to offer but do this within high-sec so you can take your time at learning how the basics work. Keep in mind that what you get from high-sec ventures is truly just a core or basic form of knowledge as everything changes once you hit low-sec. There is much more to consider when the possibility of hostile activities could occur.
Join a corporation if you can, as allies and standings are the base to EVE. They can decide where you can and can't go at times. Low-sec space can actually be quite inviting if the people who inhabit that area are your friends.
If you forsee playing EVE for a long period of time, I suggest you invest some time into training some Learning skills when you can. They add to your base attributes and can help decrease training times considerabily.
yes. idiots still autopilots through the most notorious lowsec pirate hangout.

as i said.... my bad
As far as shooting shuttles goes, I think I'll just quote myself:
In lowsec you're pretty much fair game. Learn to work your scanner and don't warp to zero on belts if you want to rat in lowsec, you'll be fine as long as you're observant.
As for people who shoot you - it's totally up to them. Most people are some flavor of NBSI (not blue, shoot it), a few corps are NRDS (not red, don't shoot. They'll leave you alone unless you ****ed them off). FW'ers usually won't attack neutrals unless they're inside of an FW plex or are a known pirate (though I'll shoot neuts in enemy lowsec, particularly if I think they're carrying supplies back to Nourv or Jita).
It's very important that you understand that even though you're a rookie pilot, everything you do still affects everyone else to some degree. If that effect is something they don't like, they can justify shooting you for more than just lulz, even though you're a noob. Even pirates who will attack you for seemingly no reason at all still have a reason to do it (easy loot, easy KM), even though they'll still laugh at you. YARRRR!!
You, all by your lonesome, should just do what most people do until they're *very* familiar with their area and just assume everyone is hostile. If you stay in the same lowsec area for some time and get to know the locals, you'll get a better feel for who will shoot you and who won't.
Be patient and dig deeper into the game at every chance. It will reward you in the end with some EPIC PvP.
