EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi there,

I know that the SOE mission is there from the start, and I have completed all the agent training missions. My problem is that I cannot find a link to it, or have not been pointed to it. I thought that after completion of the 'training' agents, I would be given this as a mission and pointed in the right direction.

Have I missed something, or is it just a case of knowing where the mission agent is and flying there? If this is the case, it does kind of break RP a bit.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers mate.

I did think that I would be pointed to it, and I read everything carefully, not sure how I missed it. Is there anyway of reviewing conversations then? because I definately dont recall ever being linked to the SOE arc.

I did all the career agents inc adv military, but not a peep about the sisters.

Thanks again,

I'll just bum around for a while, pick up some jobs here and there and deal with the arc when it presents itself then.


Fly safe.

Appreciate the reply, but that's not what I was led to believe, apparently the Blood stained Stars arc IS presented, it looks like I just missed the 'presentation' apparently it's part of a conversation on completion of one of the career agent mission sets.

It's a shame it doesn't get 'listed' somewhere as a potential opportunity once the career agent/s flag it to you.


Fly safe.

No, actually, the SoE arc is mentioned; you don't get a mission with an autopilot link to go talk to the SoE agent, the tutorial just mentions it, in passing, that you can go if you want to.

What they're trying to say in the posts above is that this game's mission agents don't send you off from one to the next. That behavior is typical of "themepark" MMO's like WoW and SWTOR. In this game, agents become available based on your reputation with their NPC corporation, but they will never notify you that they're available or invite you to come talk to them. They expect you to take the initiative.

And you don't lose anything if you skip half-way through the career agents to go talk to the SoE agent, or any other agent for that matter. The career missions are repeatable (there are multiple school locations that give the same missions), and the SoE arc is repeatable every 3 months. All the other "regular" agents will offer you missions if you dock at their station and have enough standings to qualify, but you have to take the initiative to dock and ask.

So, basically, whenever you feel like you want to do the SoE arc, go ahead. You don't have to wait for anything. And, without spoilers, the epic arc will send you all over the (high-sec) map, but you can definitely travel light (just bring your ship - frigate or destroyer - and about 1000 rounds of ammo; you can buy more ammo on the way, the markets are well stocked, and the loot is mostly junk that you can reprocess and sell the minerals, with the occasional valuable item that you can keep in your ship cargo until you're done, and sell in Jita or Dodixie afterwards).

EDIT: CCP have changed the "new player experience"; they've shortened the tutorial, they've separated the career agents from the tutorial, and they've separated the SoE arc from the career agents. The agents used to send you off, but that was changed a year ago or so, so the information on the internets may be out of date.

CCP change the tutorial every time they feel that not enough new people are joining the game, to try to attract more newbies. Every year or so, typically.

There used to be a breadcrumb mission you'd get spammed with when doing missions. It was incredibly annoying.

Humble Beginnings

You'd have to kill one frigate, "Happless Smuggler", and it would drop the breadcrumb message:

Smuggler's Warning About Sister Alitura

The Sister loves guests though, so you can drop-in and visit her at any time in Arnon, and repeat the arc every 3 months after completion.

Its a cubic meter piece of paper, weighting 1kg, with one sentence. Thats one big breadcrumb!

Thanks everyone!

Some good feedback there.
