You'll probably hear this a lot but its the best way to avoid getting stomped as a new player.
Don't forget it's not just the proto gear, older players will also know the maps, the guns, the different suits strengths and weaknesses. It all adds up to a sizable advantage which will take time to overcome.
This is No. 1.
Not that the other advice isn't good, but until you have the SP, find people to run with.
It makes it much more fun. Plus, you may get some kills because those Proto suits attacking you will have other mercs to worry about as well.
Not to mention some other fun aspects of a squad (like the one time I ran into some overseas guys, one of which started the match by playing the bagpipe over comms. Most epic start ever.) It will help relieve some of the frustration that is inevitable.
Lastly, lower your expectations. If you feel yourself getting too frustrated, take a break. The forums are good for sticking with the community and giving you hope even when you are not playing. Then you can jump back in the game and have more SP to work with, and have a little less frustration the next time around.

Nono, I deleted my main a while ago because I could not stand the quarters and wanted to start again. GMs were unable to change it and I could not stnad being Minmatar in an Amarr quarters anymore. However, I was so used to having all the passive SP that I did not realise how hard new players had it. It's such a massive disadvantage. I am playing the NPE as a vet and it's a nightmare. Thankfully I have the will to keep going but just about haha
You hated your quarters that bad?
How much SP did you give up for new quarters?
