Hey, I just finished basic tutorial and now I'm going to choose career. I want to be PI, but there are only careers like Buisness, Advanced Military, Exploration, Military and Industry. So where can I become Planetary Industrial? Thanks for answers.

You find a planet, scan it for resources, drop command center and other gear, wait some time, collect stuff, sell it or use for further production, profit.

Youtube has a lot of PI related stuff including tutorial video by CCP. Check them out and good luck :)

EDIT: Just to clarify it: there are no PI missions so there's no NPC agent that will point you to planet and ask for PI products. It's activity you do on your own because YOU want to do it.

Ok, so I guess best career for doing PI is Exploration, to find new planets for research.

You really should read on PI stuff because I don't think it has a lot to do with exploration per se. You basically open Planet view and see what kind of deposits it has. I never did PI so can't provide much details about it but as I said previously there's A LOT of information out there, you just need to spend 3 seconds to google it.

Eve is very complex game and if you don't do your own research you will struggle with simplest things. Put minimum effort and it will pay off sooner or later.

Nope, the planets are in your overview. You need to level up Command Center Upgrades to put a command center on a planet and increase the power when you put one on a planet, then Interplanetary Consolidation which will let you control an additional planet per level.

Just right click a planet, warp to and then view in planet mode.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Planetary_Commoditie. This will show you what can be made on each different planet.

PI has nothing to do with exploration. There are no new planets to be found.

As for the Career agents, do ALL of them. Even if it's something you're not interested in. They give you ISK, they give you ships, they teach you some of the basics. The career agents don't define what you will be doing, they're not like some form of class selection that I've seen before in games. They're just part of the tutorials.

PI isn't a career, it's something you do in a spare 10 minutes every few days.

I found, that PI is perfect passive income since I can manage all my planets just fine in 10 minutes I spend mining every two or three days. Rest of the time you will want to do something more interesting, like security missions, exploration, market wars or PvP. Cause PI will make you busy only short amonunt of time: few minutes for management and next few minutes for hauling of the production. What you are going to do with the rest of your time? It is not like starcraft or little farm.

Absolutely free head start for newcomers!. Just click the link and get extra 250 000 SP!

there are no career path missions for planetary interaction, which is a shame. You should do all career missions anyway, and maybe even for all 3 sets of agents - you get a bunch of stuff which is good for a new player, and you get an easy boost to faction standings, which will help with buy/selling (smaller broker fees).

There are plenty of tutorials, but I one thing I wish they mentioned is the existence of specialized Gallente industrials! Get an epithal and train Gallente industrial skill to 3 at least.

think of PI as a mini game within the bigger game.

History is the study of change.

Your question sounds like if you think in terms of "classes" of characters. This doesn't apply to EVE. There are no classes, it's not WoW. There are just skills, and nothing prevents you to practise both PI and another activity, such as exploration, PvE, PvP, industry, mining, trade...

You're not choosing a career, you're just being offered tutorials in some of your options. Generally you want to do *all* of them. There are no artificial choices in Eve; you are limited only by what skills you have trained in and the equipment you own to use with those skills. Your skills are only limited by knowing the necessary prerequisite skills and the time it takes to train them and your equipment is only limited by knowing the skill to use them and the ISK to buy them. Alas, they do not offer a tutorial in PI; you'll have to learn that on your own.
