Yes, good rule of thumb, if you attack anyone in .5 or higher space you will lose your ship to concord. The only exceptions are if the player is a pirate and "flashy red" on your overview. But they only come through highsec in fast shuttles (mostly) and are very hard to catch, and I wouldnt worry to much about that. The other exception is if a player owned corporation declared war on another player owned corporation, they can fire at each other only, without concord intervention. If you stay in a NPC corp, you cannot be wardecced and therefore are safe to everything but a suicide gank.

You never level up, there are no levels in eve.
You can skill up, make sure to keep some skills training AT ALL TIMES, most important not to waste your skill queue.
going to lunch, ask questions in an hour :p

I don't like the distributions either, however, when sometimes when you do some of series ones (5 in chain), there is typically a combat one in middle.

A good source for missions is the EVE Survial Guide. Sometimes it's nice to know what to shoot in what order.

EvE, it's all about tear managment.

In missions, you have Level 1 - 5. How do I get access to the next level of mission? Do I need a certain Skill? I am currently doing all level 1 missions. Looking to get onto Level 2 missions?

As you do more missions you will gain standing with that corp, after so many missions you will get a storyline mission that will boost your faction standing. Higher standing will give you access to higher level missions. So simply, do more missions, and when you get a storyline mission (an npc will eve mail you for "help") do them.

I am just thinking, on a few occasions I have received mail from an NPC asking for help and telling me to meet them at a location. Once I go to the location, it says "Not available to you" even when I try and start a convo it says, Sorry, but I only work with people I trust. They contact me, but still I cant do the mission? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks again,
Casirio

Hey,
Welcome back.....Yeah its strange, just happened again. I presume the neocom journal, is just your journal on the left hand side tool bar?
Jim Era
#32 - 2012-10-24 20:50:37 UTC
its your only journal.
you get those storyline missions once every 15 or 16 (or something) normal missions.
They give increased rewards and you should try to do them if standing matters to you.
So when he sends you a notification he should also offer you a mission...

You really should join a player owned corporation. Look for one that specifically does the things that you want to do and has lots of players logged on in your time zone. They will be more than happy to answer questions in-game as they come up as well as teach you things you haven't even thought of. Also you will be able to join a mission running fleet that can take on higher level missions than you have access to. You will get more isk, more lp & higher standings much faster this way. Don't worry about leaving a corp if it turns out they are not on the same path as you or if there isn't any one around to help you on a regular basis. It is a social game, the more friends you fly with the more fun it will be.

Have fun, fly reckless & welcome to Eve

^ This

Each station in empire (high-sec + low-sec) is owned by a NPC corporation that is part of one of the 4 NPC factions (Caldari, MInmatar, Amarr, Gallente).

Each agent giving missions is part of the NPC corp that owns the station.

So by running missions from 1 agent, or multiple agent from the same NPC corporation you boost your standings towards that corporation faster then when you take missions from 1000 different agents from 1000 different NPC corporations.

If your standing towards the NPC corp is high enough that NPC corporation will offer higher amount of missions (1 up to 5).
You can also get storyline missions for faction standings (again one of the 4 factions). With high enough faction standings, all agents of a similar level will open up to you.


Level 1 missions: you need standings to be higher then -2.00
Level 2 missions: you need standings of 1.0 or higher.
Level 3 missions: you need standings of 3.0 or higher
Level 4 missions: you need standings of 5.0 or higher.
Level 5 missions: you need standings of 7.0 or higher.

In the above list, like said, it's eighter standings to an NPC corporation (only agent that are part of that NPC corp) or faction (All agents that are part of that faction).

This advice is great, just strongly recommend researching, research research research before you commit to joining a corp and getting bored etc.

And never ever part with ISK to join a corp, even if they call it a security deposit.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
