Anyone here plays EVE Online?

[MainDigger]

I played a 60 day trial I got from a friend(StargateNerd). I trained, shot stuff, mined and delivered stuff.
So eventually I have trained enough to get a somewhat good ship, a Merlin.
And Stargate bought me the ship and said "Hey, let's go shoot stuff! I have a quest in null-sec."
So I scouted ahead since Stargate didn't want to lose his Apocalypse by getting ambushed.

Everything went fine and dandy and we didn't encounter any other players. So we got the the quest location and Stargate said:
"Just stay behind me and warp away if anything shoots you." (This was a high level quest so the enemies were to though for me)

So he went in first and started firing his lazors but the first thing that the NPCs does is warp scramble me.
I'm dead in 3 seconds. And with the ship getting destroyed so did also my will to play EvE.
