one advice.. play the game slowly.. do the missions (read carefully what to do with their texts) if cant understand exactly what to do, watch a tutorial video on youtube on the mission you're doing.

at least thats how i started.. 

after you finish all the missions your next step will be to join a player corporation, about 90% of your knowledge will learn from there

We're all in one same universe meaning on one server. Downtime is everyday at 7 pm our time and usually last 10-15 minutes.

Well on the walkthrough part it's a bit hard due to the extreme amount of things that you can do in this game. So I'm not sure how to help you on that other than try all of the newbies mission and finding your niche'.

Head over to reddit.com/r/eve they have some guides set up for newbros and if you want to advance even more join corporation like Brave, KarmaFleet, Pandemic Horde or EvE Uni.

They're all great newbies corporation to learn from.

Also corporation = clan in this game.
