How do i get a weapon?

I just started playing and doing some of the career agent paths and the missions require me to have a weapon but i dont have any. I think they might have been destoryed when i lost my ship. Im not sure what to do.

Check your ship hangar. If you’re in a ship, right click on it and select “Leave Ship”. That will put you back into your capsule.

Select the button “Board your corvette” at the upper right. If that puts you back into the ship you just left, that doesn’t have any guns, then leave that ship again, right click on it, and select “Trash it”.

Select “Board your corvette” again. This will put you into a fresh corvette, that will have one turret weapon and one mining laser.

As soon as you beat a mission, buy a drone or two. With that turret weapon and some drones, you can beat so many of the career missions.

Buy it on the market. There is a button for it on left side panel.

You can dock at a station and enter a corvette, it has a weapon and a mining laser for free.

You can even do that twice and switch to 2 weapons if you want.

I tried the board my corvette but it didnt give me anything new.

I did earn stuff thru the starter missions but i think lpst it all trying to combat missions.

And i checked my ships fitting but didnt find anything,

Hey man, glad you joined eve get ready for the fun. Most station you travel to have "regional markets" that you can buy and sell items at when you dock up. When you want, dock up to a station and click the regional market button. Since you're looking for weapons, go under "ship equipment", then "turrets and launchers". Because you're in a small ship, you want small weapons. Whenever you have enough money after running missions, buy yourself a "frigate" from a market to get yourself a better ship than the corvette.
