I'll go from the perspective of my first arrival here.
*Your choice of progression through the ingame. (A.I trader, miner, pirate, so on.)
First I went into trading as Freelacer to keep the low profile and see how things are working around here. When I went into the server first I checked out the rules then I checked out the ingame behavior of players while staying on general line because I didn't knew exactly how the things are working around here. Then my first combat asset attempt was when I made RM indy and made an attempt to apply to [RM], got a kick in the butt right on doorstep because my application story wasn't long enough. After some time I went on smuggling artifacts and thus ended up in OPG as my first faction. So it's kind of irony that I wanted to be in RM but in the end I ended up in Pirate faction that shoots RM.

The lore and the people. First: The lore had a shift even in 4.84\85 - not speaking about now. So had to figure out what does all the new factions like RoS or something even mean. Had some encounters where I was attacked for reason I hardly understood, but I decided to be okay with this and learn basics. As I said - I was keeping low profile while observing the environment and taking my time to get into the game. And I think that strategy was a big success.
Second: The people were kind of confusing factor for me as I was totally new to the game's environment. As example: you fly your ship and don't touch anyone when in all of a sudden some random dude comes at you and begins to push some RP on your that you don't even aware of. Like some contraband of sort or so. Like it was in hamburg back in times if someone remember - a lot of new players were going this way with cargo being not even aware that the houses are at war. So it's fine when the person actually bothers to explain what his backgrounds are - so you can learn and play. Bad things happens when you're just being accused of breaking something and attacked right away w\o any explanation why that was even happening.

Nomad Morph with a learning progression as a character, which means that the character starts out with very little knowledge about humans, and everything she learns ingame from other player characters is incorporated into the character and future RP encounters.
*Your first incident OORP, if acceptable.
After a lot of fun RPing the character on the server and what I perceived as very positive interactions from the overwhelming majority of players I interacted with, someone called "sindroms" made this thread on the forum: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=110679
where he and two [LN] members, who decided that my RP is "wrong" after a few spoken lines from my nomad and who chose not to RP with me (which I respected and stopped talking to them), that they'd tell people on the forum that I'm a horrible nuisance because my morph speaks like a human (being a hybrid) and RPs in local chat while cloaked (instead of ***"me" ~no~ 'grammar'*** in system chat like other nomads) and that something should be done. Following that people who never even met my character ingame told me to piss off, that I was telling nomads how to RP (when I never told anyone how to RP, but I was the one being told how to behave by them), that human/hybrids cant exist according to the nomad lore (when actually the nomad lore explicitly mentions them), and that they cant fly nomad ships (when the part that explanainns about nomad ships actually explicitly mentions hybrid pilots flying them). The guy who made the thread posted a meme that expressed that new people's opinions are crushed here, and when I quoted the exact places in the lore where hybrids and hybrids flying nomad ships were mentioned, the thread was locked after the guy I was proving wrong posted his final word about how wrong and irrelevant I am next to him. Few hours later, a guy called "Extreme.Nuissance" went after me in New York and connecticut telling me how my RP was wrong because my nomad spoke and nomads don't have vocal chords, even though my nomad had only communicated telepathically with him, claiming he had never met my nomad before ingame and that he read that thread, and he also refused to tell me his forum name saying he was "too mysterious for you woman". You can see the last part in the video in my signature link. After he killed me another character who I had never met pmed me "//rip" and didn't answer when I asked him why he did that.

Well, when I first started to play I started with mining helium then selling it at the Junker base in Penny, later I just mined large pockets of helium and sold it to more veteran players. Made some quick cash that way and bought myself a spatial.
Went around Sirius lulzing with my Spatial (with which I died a horrible death most of the time ;( ) until I met Danny (ChillerMiller) in Dublin. Went about escorting him, and after a short while he loaned me money to buy a hegemon. I think we mined a whole week in Dublin without getting pirated (hence made lots of money). I think I went on about mining and lulzing with exploring ships for quite a while after that.

Well, I read the rules and all, and after a while I made my Nommie morph. So, I flew around and after getting used to constantly hearing "Nomad on scanners, all ships engage!" I just tried to avoid large groups of players, or high ranked players.
I hanged around Tau-23 when I saw some random dude, tried to RP with him and he just killed me while I was sitting still and typing without saying a word.
I tried to talk with him ooRPly to clear out why and after receiving no answer I wrote to him in PM "Fine, you are now ******!" and went to report him. I actually have read the rules, I just didn't know that what I've wrote was actually considered swearing.
In the end I got sanctioned and had my morph deleted, while he didn't get a punishment, which made me stop playing for about a month. After that I returned and killed the guy whenever I saw him in Tau-23 again with my loldente. Quite a raegkid I was.

Back then? I think it was tech-perms that no one gave me since nobody trusted a new player with them, and the fact that because I wasn't known to anyone, I was always disregarded so easily.

Corsair pirate. Right from the start. Later I got trader to fund more ships.
*Your first incident OORP, if acceptable.
At the start of the game at New York. Very long long system chat marked with "//" people were having there.

Maybe to understand lore and apply it to character. To grasp all the diplomacy, backgrounds, needs, goals and stuff like that of variuos factions. And understand how and why they interact with each other, and ofc apply it myself.

Started playing an LN indie, made an independent trader, then an unlawful mercenary, then joined the Vagrant Raiders.
* Your first incident OORP, if acceptable.
I had no idea what an official faction was -- this was before I joined the forums -- so I had slapped on an [LN] tag on my indie. Got berated OORPly, decided, "oops, I should probably join the forums and see what all this is about".

The griiiiiiind for credits. Before I returned most recently I had never owned anything more expensive than a cap6 siege cruiser. Remember the Battleship License? Yeah, those sucked for someone who couldn't spend four hours a day trading or mining Niobium in Tau-37.
Or pirating someone who was mining Niobium in Tau-37.
On the forums? Lots of angry vets. Some things just don't seem to change, eh?
*Your choice of progression through the ingame. (A.I trader, miner, pirate, so on.)
Trader, then later on becoming part of LPI and all that jazz.

Accidentally PMing Nicole.Hunter "//I'd like to see more of you" when I meant to tell Lyth that in group chat.

Understanding all of the new crap Disco had.
