As others have said, do the tutorial missions for a bunch of skillbooks, ISK, modules, and free ships.
Get in a destroyer pretty early on and you will crush level 1 security missions. Running securiy missions is really good practice as you learn combat mechanics/tactics. Combat in EVE is somewhat complicated. You have range, speed, tracking, sig radius, different ammo types and resistances to consider. Missiles work a bit differently than turrets. Getting comfortable with the mechanics is ideally done in a mission, and not in a PvP fleet when your fleetmates are counting on you.
I think EVE University is an excellent corp to join when first starting out. The whole corp is designed for teaching players how to play EVE, they have people that specialize in every aspect of the game as teachers. Eventually you'll move on to pursue your own ambitions, but Eve University is like a "full-featured" NPE that the game never shipped with. RvB is another good choice for learning the ins and outs of PvP through constant fights with cheap ships (it might make more sense to start at EVE Uni first, and treat RvB as the next tier in your education).
- Don't undock in anything you can't afford to loose.
- You are never completely safe when you're in space (unless cloaked in a safe spot), so even in highsec you can be suicide-ganked.
- Find a good tutorial on how to configure your UI/Overview settings (THIS IS CRITICAL)
- ISK Doublers are all scammers, yes even the guy who swears he's not
- Learn about the criminal flagging system, if you loot someone else's wreck/can (it's yellow) you will be flagged a criminal and people can kill you in highsec without penalty.
- If running missions, it's usually a good idea to skip missions where you shoot NPC's from the opposing Empire faction. (e.g. If you're Amarr and your mission agent wants you to kill Minmatar NPCs). Killing the opposing faction's NPCs will trash your standings with them, and when it gets below a threshold, you become hunted if you ever enter their space. not being able to enter a major empire's space because you trashed your standings sucks, and it's a MAJOR pain in the ass to slowly grind back up.If you want to do Faction Warefare you can disregard (just be prepared for the consequences). You'll still want at least one toon that can travel all of highsec without getting shot at by NPCs.
Best PvE idea ever!
