How about the mission just let me use the mining ship how we are all going to use it, with two drones in the hold, no guns equipped, and just let me run the mission? Why does this have to be difficult, and why would the mission tell a new player to fit their ship in such a way that they NEVER will in game after this? So weird, it wants me to place a mining laser and a gun on the same ship, and no one EVER does that in Eve Online later on, why is this career agent so annoying?
Do you actually have to fit a gun, or is the tutorial just telling you to? I think when I tried the new player experience a couple months ago it was not actually necessary to do anything the little popups told me to do.
I think the reason for this is that only Gallente start with the bay to actually use drones on their corvette and they want to teach miners that rats are still a thing even when you’re mining.
I agree it’s poorly done, should maybe be done after the Venture is handed out, and come along with the skillbook and a civilian racial drone to teach miners how they will actually be handling rats later on.
