The EVE tutorial (or "New Player Experience", or more specifically "The Seekers Investigation") is a series of tasks which introduces you to the very basics of playing EVE, especially from the combat perspective. Unless you've already played EVE it is highly recommended that you follow this tutorial, as the game has many particular mechanics which you may not be used to even if you have played other computer games. This version of New Player Experience was deployed in Aug 2018, replacing the old one.

Introduction

When you first log in to the game as a new character, you will find yourself already in space in a corvette of your character's faction. Aura notifies you that a nearby research ship is under attack from Seeker drones and recommends that you attempt to rescue them.

Aura greets a new character upon login.

However, when you click "Continue" you find that you are too late. The research ship has been destroyed, but you may be able to recover the data.

Throughout the rest of this objective, Aura will teach you the following basic controls of the game:

• Moving the camera
• Selecting an object in space
• Approaching an object/enemy
• Orbiting an object/enemy
• Targeting an object/enemy
• Shooting a target

	1 x Cruiser Circadian Seeker

When you have destroyed the enemy, you will then be tasked with docking at a nearby NPC Station.

Once you have docked, Aura introduces you to the Agency window as the primary tool to discover opportunities available in New Eden. She asks you to open the Agency window and select The Seekers Investigation and activate the first task.

The Seekers Investigation

The Seekers Investigation is a branching tree of objectives that progress the player through learning the basic concepts of combat in Eve. Each step along the "trunk" teaches the player a new concept. Upon completion of the trunk objective, two additional "branches" are provided to give the player an opportunity to practice their new skill, and a new trunk objective also opens up. The branching objectives can be skipped in favor of completing only the trunk objectives, but doing so gives up a decent amount of income and a relatively safe way to practice skills.

The basic concepts covered by the objectives, in order, are as follows:

• Basic Combat
• Weapon Range
• Mobility and Weapon Tracking
• Ship's Speed / Propulsion Module
• Ship Fitting / Weapon Upgrades
• Putting it All Together

The task tree (Image pending)

• Begin the Investigation
  • The Sleeping Menace
  • Hidden in the Clouds
• Fortress in the Rocks
  • The Abandoned Colony
  • Trouble at the Mine
• Measuring the Threat
  • Secret Laboratory
  • Ancient Mysteries
• A Rift in Space, upon finish receive faction combat frigate, weapon and ammo upon
  • Radiation Hazard
  • The Chase
• Upgrades
• Battle in the Ruins
  • The Dreaming Stones
  • Madness or Genius?

Below the tree there are 4 separate nodes which point to 4 of 5 career agents series:

• Your Military Needs You (Military Career Agent)
• The Exploration of Space (Exploration Career Agent)
• Taking Care of Business (Business Career Agent)
• The Engines of Industry (Industry Career Agent)

Basic Combat

The first task along the trunk of The Seekers Investigation will let you practice the basics of combat. This includes Targeting an enemy, Moving your ship or orbiting an enemy, and shooting an enemy to kill it.
It should be noted that you will begin to face multiple enemies at once. A new character, in the Rookie ship of their faction, is capable of targeting 3 enemies simultaneously. You can do this by simply targeting additional enemies the same way Aura taught you earlier.
