== Summary ==
Little more than armed [[Shuttles|shuttles]], rookie ships are the basic [[Tech_I_Frigate|tech I frigates]] that new pilots start with, and that are given free of charge to any pilot who docks his [[Pod|pod]] at a station he has no ships at.

Rookie ships spawn with a civilian [[Mining|mining]] laser and a race-specific civilian weapon already fit, and a single unit of [[Tritanium]] in the hold. The initial rookie ship a new player receives will also have a [[Damage Control I]] fit, unless the player lacks the skills to fit it, in which case it will be placed in their hangar.

Rookie ships can be sold both on the market, [[Contracts|contracts]] and through the trade window.

== Common Non-Rookie Uses ==
=== Mining Operation Harassment and Piracy ===
The Velator and Ibis are both capable of dealing significant DPS while [[Tanking|tanking]] poorly-skilled drone and missile fire, making them ideal for harassing high-security mining operations as many miners will see a rookie ship and dismiss it out of hand, making them far more likely to engage the would-be pirate.

Well skilled and flown ships of these types are capable of taking down mining cruisers, and even [[Retriever]] mining barges, so long as the pilot does not possess high drone skills, though Hulks and the odd mining battlecruiser or battleship are well beyond even the best pilots skills when in a Velator or Ibis.
=== Low-Level PvE ===
*[[New player ship fitting guide|New player ship fitting guide]]

Though not a 'serious' fit by any stretch, doing level one missions or level one or two plexes in rookie ship can be a fun challenge for an experienced pilot. Even lowsec ratting is possible, given a competent pilot and a good fit.

 === The Alliance Tournament ===
-During Alliance Tournament XIV in 2017, a pilot flying for Lowsechnaya Sholupen was able to jam the flagship [[Vindicator]] of the opposing team, Brotherhood of Spacers, a total of at least 4 times, rendering it useless. Lowsechnaya Sholupen went on to win the match. CCP Fozzie commented with "This guy just earned the Ibis a buff tbh - needs more cargo for his balls". As the year after, this buff hasn't yet been implemented.
