1) So I just finished all the career trainings, but I wasnt given any more missions! what comes next? where can I find stroyline caldari missions ? Where should I go?

2) The PI launch tax is off the charts, almost kills all the PI profits for me! Is there any skill to reduce the planetary launch fees ?

3) So far I declined like 30 duel requests, just want to know if our ship gets permanently destroyed if we lose a duel and whether we can get pod killed too ?

4) Is there any other way to enhance skill points speed other than implants?

Thanks in advance

1.) After the career agents it's all up to you what you are going to do. You can mine, mission run, PvP, rat, explore, scam, trade or what so ever.

2.) No. Only way to get lower PI taxes is to go to low/null/WH space and hope you find a player owned PoCo that lets you use it for lower taxes.

3.) Yes. Ship destroyed is ship destroyed. Yes, you can be pod killed.

4.) Implants and attribute remaps are the only 2 options.

The usual next step is the Sisters of Eve epic arc The Bloodstained Stars which you can get from Sister Alitura at the Sisters' bureau in Arnon.

1. You're supposed to pick your own agents to do missions for, if you want to do missions. The NPCs are organized into the 4 empires, with NPC corporations belonging to each empire that range from Navy (combat types) to manufacturing to R&D, and each NPC corp has its own agents spread all over the place.

You can find all this information in-game by clicking the blue ? info button of the station you're in, and clicking on the icon for their corp, their empire, then looking at member corps, and agents for each corp.

Or you can use eve-agents.com as a searchable database of the agents.

2. PI, like all other manufacturing, is saturated, with the best planets used up, so...

3. Yes it's a PVP game, full PVP happens. The "duel" option merely disables Concord, it doesn't do anything to stop the combat at 1 hit point like in other games.

4. You can:

- put in attribute implants

- re-arrange your skill plan to alternate between int/mem support / industry skills and per/wil ship and weapon skills, and remap your attributes periodically to maximize 2 and minimize the other 3 to match your skill plan.

- train less in each skill. The game lets you take everything to 5 if that's what you want, but it is NOT needed. Level 3 and 4 works perfectly fine for most skills. Some do require 5 (Engineering, Electronics), but you have to stop yourself for most of the skills or you'll be training for years and then the cost of your clone if you die will go through the roof.

Just to specify that "periodically" in this context means very long periods. You only get one remap per year, and even if you take into consideration the two bonus remaps you have, we are still talking about periods of 6 months or more.

Ok so another question, I'm planning on travelling to all empires space, but I take it doing those storyline missions given by mail can reduce the standings from other factions and eventually make them attack me on sight, is there a workaround for this ?

Three main possibilities:

1) Work for all Empires and the storyline missions will cancel each other out.

2) Don't run storyline missions. If you are only interested in standings with corporations, not factions, you can just refuse them.

3) These standing losses aren't that big, it takes a while to get to -5 (that's when the shooting starts). If you train Diplomacy, you can run storyline missions for years without getting anywhere near -5.

You can also run the Sisters of EVE arc every 3 months to repair your worst standing. It's the only (?) source of faction standings which doesn't reduce your standings with other factions.

All this does assume that you refuse any mission that requires you to blow up other faction's ships - that will create additional standing losses that are much larger than those from storyline missions.

Use http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports and decline missions against other empires...Just hit Blood Raiders, Serpentis Guristas etc
