If you are a new arrival to EVE and have elected not to follow the instructions of your Pend Insurance representative, you should go back and reintroduce yourself. These opening tutorial missions do not take long to complete and will assist you in becoming familiar with basic skills and equipment beneficial to all rookie pilots. We must all begin somewhere and starting here will put a little money in your wallet and a Shield Booster on your ship. In future, money and protection may not come so easily.
The starting tutorial will give you an idea of how to mine asteroids, the dynamics of ship-to-ship combat and a few pointers about the NeoCom control panel, the station interface and basic navigation.
Your priority now is to make some money. While there are many ways to make a fast isk, the two easiest and most profitable at this stage are to embark on a few agent missions or mine minerals. Buying skill packs or upgrading your ship and equipment isn’t cheap, but your starting frigate won’t last long against determined opposition and you'll want to buy something better as quickly as possible.
As soon as you click on your newly-created character the tutorial screen will open. Follow the instructions closely, completing both segments (in space and in-station.)
