In the second part of this three part series, I'll go over a few quick tips for the upcoming missioner in EVE. If you find that mining isn't your thing. (Admittedly, it can get very boring.) Then maybe a few tips on missioning will change your mind.
- One: As in article one in the series, get a good ship. But in addition to that, INSURE it. It's going to be your missioning ship, and you might find yourself in over your head, and no ship under your feet. Better to have it insured and get your money back for it, instead of being out of ISK and your ship.
- Two: There are many agents to work for, and they are in different categories, like Security, Industry, Marketing and quite a few others. Each have a different mix of fighting and cargo running mission. Security is almost entirely fighting missions, while Industry will have you zipping back and forth for your hard-earned ISK.
- Three: Get the right ship and fit it. If you're going to be doing a lot of fighting missions, of course you should be looking at ships that have bonuses to weapons and defensive skills. If you think transportation is more like it, then ships with a bonus to cargo space should be on the top of your list. As for fittings, weapons and defensive modules (upgrades) will of course be best for fighting. There are also upgrades that can increase your cargo space and speed.
- Four: Don't fly what you can't afford to loose. Take steps in upgrading your equipment. If you spend all your ISK on a brand new, shiny ship, just to have it blown up ten minutes later, you're suddenly out a lot of ISK. Having enough ISK to buy two ships and enough fittings for both of them is a good rule of thumb. Of course if you paid attention to the first tip here and insured your ship, then you won't be so badly off if you loose it.
Well, once again there is a hoard of information out there regarding missions, agents, and what ships to fly. And again I can't possibly cover it all here.
Here are a couple more links for you to continue your reading, and gain further insight into the vast expanse of EVE missioning.
