It would be interesting if you could catch capsules instead of destroying them.
Or give them a lift in a mutual ship like a bus line from Amarr to Jita and back every ten minutes.
What for?
I read that some pilots hold a ship hostage until the capsuleer pays a ransom or his ship is destroyed so the idea already exists and has been done before?
What is the point of that?
Or are you just making fun of me?
@Drixie_Trix I donāt think so, it sounds to me like @Pierre_de_Bricassart wants this more like the stand alone free game āEndless Skyā. I donāt play it myself, but my husband has told me, you can capture ships and do passenger runs for credits. Running a taxi or shuttle service would not work in Eve, since you can travel back to home base in the blink of an eye by self-destruct. I run shipments from Amarr to Jita, then I exit the hauler and sell the hauler and the contents. Flip open my character sheet and self destruct the clone. I disappoint a lot of the gate campers. If you have augments in your skull, just use a jump clone.
Have fun!

Itās been a hot minute since Iāve done the career missions, but I do think that the tutorial shouldnāt require outside assistance. If it does, thatās a problem IMO.
Yeah lol CCP get rid of that ā ā ā ā .
I did try that game last year. I didnāt like it. Too much micromanagement.
Thatās why I thought he might have been making fun of me. A taxi service would never work in EVE since the capsuleer has to own the ship in order to be in it.
I did that a couple of times to move stuff from career agent system to Lowsec.

Exactly. Have to plan a bit because you can only use jump clone once every 24h(?)
Fly Safe!
I donāt know you, I thought about that idea, what can be done this way, just some brainstorming, without any judgement. What a pity your leeriness overweighs your phantasy.
Itās just my experience. In several occasions a bunch of players wants to reach the same spot without dedicated ships, eg for defensive action or an event. Many of the players just take the autopilot in a shuttle. Why not taking a bus? Of course the actual game mechanics would have to be changed.
And the ransom idea is not working because of self destruct. Also I think the griefing possibilities are too dangerous to have a try.
And as I tell anyone whoās asking for a change of rules, now I have to tell myself: There is a better place for ideas, this is not a new player issue. Player Features & Ideas - EVE Online Forums

Elden Ring, one of the best games out there. Guess what, no tutorial at all.
You like to be spoon fed, yes?
Hi,
Iām brand new to the game. Having read bit of this post, I can say Iāve been playing MineCraft for several years, since it was mentioned before.
Iāve created my account and character. Today I logged in and found myself on a page of 2 day deals.
I am slow learning games like this; I come from an ancient generation. I love sci-fi and problem solving, which I got the impression this game would provide.
In any case, if Iāve misjudged the game, so be it and Iāll move on.
If I havenāt, Iām hoping people in the community can guide me a bit until I get familiar with the structure of the game.
On the first day I signed in, I know I did something. What I donāt know is if I actually played the game or did a ātraining sessionā to learn the basics.
So as you can see, Iām confused.
Anyway, thanks for your time and consideration, if youāre willing to provide any guidance.
Thanks
Hi @Nviron , welcome to the game!
Generally the first thing new players do is the tutorial. You get some missions and explanation of the basics of the game. While people can choose to skip the tutorial (in case itās not their first character) itās a really good introduction to the game for anyone who is new like you.
So to answer your question: I bet that that is what you did on your first day - tutorial missions or in other words a ātraining sessionā.
I donāt know if you have finished the tutorial yet. Is āAuraā the AI woman on board still talking to you and telling you what to do next? If yes, itās still part of the tutorial.
Once the first few missions are done Aura will tell you to visit the career agents who have more missions for you. Once you speak to the career agents the tutorial is done and the next part begins.
Career agents are considered the advanced tutorial. You get to know exploration, fighting, industry, mining and some other things. While you can choose which career missions to follow first, itās generally a good idea to do them all to get a better idea of the game.
Once you have finished those career agent missions you know the basics of the game and are free to go wherever you want and have fun in the universe!
Welcome to New Eden.
Donāt feel annoyed by adverts, itās jusr marketing.
A good way to start is playing Alpha for a couple of days and if you think itās fun, buy 3 months omega, which is as much as I used to pay for a computer game more than a decade ago.
The usual start is Auras New Player experience (Tutorial), than the Career Agents (free ships, yay!) and then Sister Alitura in Arnon if you like soloing. Sooner or later you still should look for a nice starter corp.
Youtube and Google are valuable sources of knowledge, feel free to google e.g. āEVE hackingā or āEve Mountain Molehillsā.
And now: Have fun!
@Nviron welcome to the game,
This game is over 20 years old now, I think this describes a large portion of the community at large. My husband and I are senior citizens and I play here about 4 hours per day. I have to catch a dialysis in a bitā¦ come to think of it. However scroll up to see my message number 16 on this thread.
My best advice is what I say in most of signature closings.
Have fun!

Maybe if the game didnāt force new alts in there with no way to remove the channel for a month?
How many times must we be forced to watch the same 10 questions be asked before we get to close the channel?
"Yes."

AIR is not tutorial. More like achievements.
When you start, there are 4-5 tutorial missions and the another 45 career agent missions showing you everything you need to know for all the careers.
After all is done, then you should have a way better feel for the game.
Also, read eve university and eve academy articles - it will give you a broader idea of what you can do in Eve.

More than 45. Theres 15 for each faction, but only 5 are recommended at first, the others can be used to repair standings since they are one time use only
