Noob question.

[Kioshi Rin]

I finished the tutorial, blew up, Boom I have a mining hauler. I travel a few jumps to some Agent, because the next tutorial told me to, this agent wants me to kill someone and bring back a prisoner. I realise my mining hauler has no guns, what do I do?

Do I fly back to the first station and switch into my starter ship? Can I teleport back? Do I buy a new ship? Do I just buy guns or something? They just gave me a mining hauler and I didn't know which agent to pick, so I'm kind of in limbo. Which brings me here.

What do I do?

Once you're through the tutorial, EVE stops holding your hand.

From this point you'll have to buy and fit ships of your accord.

To answer the questions though:
- You can do this, the corvettes (rookie/starter ships) are decent enough for the tutorial and possibly for the career agent missions.

- The only "teleport" in EVE involves either jump cloning, which means you have an additional clone in another station that you can transfer your consciousness to, or the destruction of your pod, which activates your medical clone.

- This is probably your best bet, you can sort the market (click the gear next to the search bar in the market window) by skills that you posess so that it only shows you items and ships you can currently use.

- Refer to last, also don't forget requisite ammo for those guns. Civilian guns don't use ammo, all the rest do.

I appreciate the help. So would you grab a new ship, or buy weapons for the mining hauler in my scenario, no that an agent wants me to shoot things?

Your best bet is to buy a separate ship if you have the money, what race did you start as?

Gallente/Gallente, I chose a security agent as my first one, thinking it was an extended tutorial, the station i'm at doesn't let you buy a ship apparently, i'm not sure how the market works, but I thought you could buy stuff from anywhere. So I wasn't sure if I should uy guns, or a new ship etc. It's a weird situation, especially if you can't have your ships shippe around, idk if it's better to stick with one ship or what.

You can buy anywhere within a region. The market is one of the things the tutorials don't really cover. There may be a decent video on YouTube that covers it.

The only way to buy something within a given station is for that station to have it stocked, for stations to have most things stocked another player has to have put it up for sale there.

As Gallente, you might be best served looking for an Incursus, the same ship you used for part of the tutorial.

You can have ships "shipped" but it means trusting other players to haul them for you, especially if you don't have an alt to do it with.

Go to the main trade hub in Jita, and then buy a new frigate
