Make sure you do all of the tutorials!
will do, I take it their important! Any more tips please!
Tips for a newbie:
Don't join FW. I think it tries to join you up at some point during the tutorial. Join in a month or two if you fancy it but not during your first couple of weeks.
If you take stuff out of a container (wreck or can (has an icon like this in your overview - <>)) belonging to another player their whole corp can then shoot you.
Pick one race to train for and stick with it. All four races will do you OK for the initial period.
Read everything really carefully when you do any trading or contracts.
Don't buy anything through the trade window.

Right click->Show Info on everything especially take notice of the prerequisites.
Never use the trade window ever (default behavior is different to what you'd expect and it used to be exploitable with 3rd party programs tho not sure if thats still the case) - get stuff via the market or contracts (and read contracts really carefully - as a new player never ever accept a contract thats spammed in the system local channel).
While it takes some of the intrigue out of the game early on I'd reccomend using EFT to work out ship fits as it will save a lot of time, effort and ISK.

You have to keep em sweet til they've got something worth stealing.
Anyone?
Nothing

Ah sweet.
I was always wary in case something happened so I can happily pick away at abandoned cans (or at least those not being closely minded) and laugh away with my ill gotten gains free of consequence?!
Bonus!
A cloak is good to have, Steal > Cloak > Loop hehe
Not in a 0.7 though. Empty ships are still tagged as belonging to the last pilot so you'll get concorded unless they're an outlaw or in your corp.
That is a bad one, wonder how long before a fix is out?
I'm completely sucked into Eve again, it's fantastic! Going the Explorer route this time and managed to locate my first wormhole earlier today, really like using the probes so I'm sure that's the kinda career I'm gonna build. What kind of signatures etc do you think is best to look for as newbie explorer? I can mine too, so maybe I'll focus on Gravimetric for the moment..
Also thanks to whomever it was in the OCUK channel that sent me some ISK to get me started! Helped massively. Who do I speak to for an inv to the Corp?
