Similarly, fleet members must not be tired and/or intoxicated." I wonder if they piss test. | ||

Quests give a lot of isk for me, 50k++, but appartently that isn't a lot. So it makes finding what's "productive" congruent to "do whatever you want" very difficult when you're alone. | ||

(unless they've nerfed it in the last two years rofl) dunno if there's something more lucrative isk / hr wise you can do in a frigate with low sp. google it then ask a corpmate for info if it sounds interesting, or just ask if you can follow people around doing missions (assuming anyone's in hisec missioning lol) basically you'll need some sp / money to make more money doign missions | ||

If you're familiar with WoW at all, almost all missions in EVE are like doing repeatable quests. The story is always the same, you run the mission, and in 10 or 20 missions you're likely to see the same one again, even from a different agent or in a different system. I recommended this earlier but I'll throw it out there again -- if you want to run what's basically the one non-repeatable story-oriented mission chain in the entire game (for beginners, at least) you may want to check out the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc. I think it's worth doing because it has some nice monetary and item rewards along the way and it gives you a very wide-ranging tour of all four empires in hi-sec. My original post is here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=88359¤tpage=1216#24309 As for other missions, they can be fun, some can be difficult depending on skills or ships, they definitely wind up repetitive, and they exist primarily to make money. You can locate them using the Agent Finder window (which, though I can't check right now, might be reachable from a button on the agent window when docked.) At first you will only be able to do Level I missions. Once you have done enough Level I missions for a particular faction, you'll eventually be able to do Level II for that faction, and so on. Level I missions require a frigate or destroyer, while level 2 missions require a cruiser, level 3 work best with a battlecruiser, and level 4 work best with either high skills and a well-fit battlecruiser or (preferably) a battleship. So, use the Agent Finder to find a Level I security agent in high sec space and start blowing things up, if that's the direction you want to go. Friends can help, and if I see you on I'll offer. There are other ways to do PvE than missions. You can run complexes, or "plexes," which you can find by scanning with your ship's scanner or using probes. (Sometimes the lowest level ones have beacons also.) These can be like missions but without an agent, or sometimes with an agent at the entrance, and usually with a small chance at either a high-end NPC spawn that drops something possibly valuable, or a bookmark to an additional plex you can't find otherwise called an "escalation" that can have such a spawn in it. If you want something with more of a pvp flavor, you can take a head to low sec and run missions or plexes there (or just kill NPCs in asteroid belts, called "belt ratting.") I would not recommend doing this solo without having a nice long talk with your mentor or another experienced Hatchery member about how to protect yourself and maintain situational awareness while doing so. Finally, remember that E-UNI people are everywhere, and no matter which of these things you choose to do, they can find you, so keep your eyes on your overview and be ready to warp out on a moment's notice. | ||

That's for the long explanation! I've played maybe 12-13 games with the TL community and you guys are the most helpful (next to Tribes being second). | ||

Bug supply depot about faction warfare until someone starts to talk to you about it, you will start making 200m+ isk an hour from day 2 while semi-afk. I would help but I'm inactive for another ~2 weeks. | ||

If you really want to do the SoE arc so you have something to do or for the novelty of it, go ahead but the money you will gain for it is basically nothing. You could also potentially find out how to make 150-200m/hr doing lvl 4 missions but that takes effort and requires at least a month of skill points.
