Missions & Complexes

Hiya,

Open the "Agent Finder" thingamajig, which should be either on the Neocom (that sidebar on the left side of your screen) or if it isn't there click that "E" icon in the top left of your screen and look for it in there.

1.) If you're looking for "Haul item A from B to C" type of missions, use the Agent Finder to look for "Distribution" agents.

2.) If you're looking for "Mine me some stuff" type of missions, look for "Mining" agents.

3.) If you're looking for "Build me some stuff" type of missions - those don't exist.

Have fun!

To pursue an industry career in eve takes some patience
advice from an experienced industry vet would most likely help you too

Start out by researching 'how do I do xyz' in eve online
read stuff until your eyes bleed
then read some more stuff

look into joining an industry focused corp
remember that they may be used to people posing as prospective students to blow them up
persevere and you can become an industry mogul in time
quite a lot of time
hence the need for patience

I agree that one should do all five career mission sets. All five agents, btw, are in the same station in Clellinon where the OP found the industry set. I also agree that one should do the SOE arc next. If you do all five agents, one of the ships you get is a destroyer - Catalyst for Gallente. My alpha clone cousin just finished the SOE arc in his catalyst. He did change to the "Dagan Killer" fit for the last mission. Note that, particularly in the last few missions, it pays to use the best meta modules you can afford, or T2 if you can.

Not sure whether alpha clones can do the other races' career missions. They certainly can't use the other races' ships.

After you finish the SOE arc, there are three types of missions you can do for the various npc corporations: security, mining, and distribution. The first is generally considered the most lucrative and fastest standing increase/LP gain, and I suppose most "pew-pew" types find the other two kinds of missions boring, but they *are* industry missions. The cousin I mentioned up above is doing distribution missions right now.

There's also a link to the Agent Finder at the bottom of the People and Places > Agents tab.

Another thing: When you talk to an agent, a link to that agent is added to the "All Agents" folder inside the Agents tab. Eventually, finding a particular agent in that folder will be a pain in the ass (you could use the search function, of course). So what I do is, every time I start a new group of agents (Career Agents at Clellinon, or SOE Epic Arc, or any corporation, for example) I create a new folder, and put the agents, as I meet them, pertinent to that folder, in that folder. Doing from the beginning will save from having to spend three hours doing it later, as I learned from experience. :-)

I wouldn't recommend the R&D-agents path, they're dead since the introduction of datacores into the FW LP shops a couple years ago.
