EVE New Citizens Q&A

here is something I found out today... probably will require a "slowpoke" *.gif but what the heck why not...

so you start the game doing aura's missions then get to a station with 6 career agents, do those and get tons of ships which you can use or sell + nice skill books, free gear, money and ofc standings with faction\agent.

Now as a new player with low skills I have many things which I want to train and while I do that I also try to take part in variety of activities to pass the time and gain some resources to aid me upgrade my stuff and such...

so...

I'm flying to caldari space (I'm amarr pilot) and going to sell a maller which I got there as a gift from my corp mate, then I notice that thought I finished career missions with the amarr faction I can to same 6 agent arc missions (60 missions total) again on the caldari space station with the caldari agents!
Free ships and booty yay...

I guess that minmatar and gallente will work as well.

have fun.

Well actually there are 12 sets of career agents you can run

4 empire factions
Each with 3 different noob schools

This makes 12 career sets wich you all can run once.

I've found those to be really helpful to run, too.

At first I had only run 1 school for each empire faction, until I realized (last week) that there were 2 more schools for each faction. That's 400 more missions!

So during this 3-day weekend, I'll have knocked out those 400 and racked in ~100million ISK, standings, and I still have a bunch of skill books to sell off. Maybe it's not alot, but it was good experience.

I ended up just taking a destroyer down to the first school on my list, start the industry/business, then the military missions as a pair and finally the exploration.

For that last Business mission where you have to manufacture (or purchase..) the ammo.. I would start the job running (because it's like 2.5 hours or something), run the combat and exploration missions, then I would take the Venture they give you, pack it up with some of the modules and books and fly it back home (I hate leaving crap all over..), jump back in an Ibis and grab my destroyer and on to the next site!

1. it's kinda fun to expiriance all areas of the game (faction wise).
2. I'm new player, under 300k sp with less then 4 mil ISK right now and fancy myself with t1 coercer.
while training my skill between doing the career agents and agent mission L1 I prefer the career as benefits are much greater.

example, punisher alone is around 650k on market, 3 of those for free is major boost for me as starter player.

All negative comments aside, I love you for this post. I stupidly declined a mission from my school so I had no way to do anything but the first explorer tutorial so scanning has evaded me for a week and a half. I know what I'm doing when I get off work!

there is truth in what you're saying but I'm in no hurry and would like to take advantage of this issue before I move ahead.

Makes me wonder: if you ran lvl 2-3 missions would you not make more ISK than running noob agent NPC missions? That ISK could be spent on ships and stuff the agents give you.

I could easily be wrong, but don't tutorial agents reset after 3 months, just like the SoE arc and Pirate arcs?

hmm tripple post whoops

Nope.
