* Remember the courier missions, You can work up your standing just fine without shooting anything!

* Keep a short summary of the missions your agent regularly gives you in your notepad. Important info : Damage types/resists/webs/scrams/Difficulty etc

==Combat Techniques==

* During Encounter Missions - Take advantage of the fact you can centre your view over the enemy and look from behind them. double clicking in the direction they are travelling in is now easy as your view is locked on the enemy. Repeatedly clicking in the direction he is travelling will constantly change your direction to match his, minimising the angular velocity and increasing your chances of good hits at ranges closer than u previously thought were impossible. (Works best with large/medium guns against large/medium rats)

* If you are having problems with a large ship demolishing you or staying far away from you, let a light drone speed tank it and go to town.

* when buying ammo make sure you look the information(attributes) its possible that you can be buying the wrong ammo for your needs. look at the bonuses to range in particular.

* learn to use your size and speed to your advantage. Orbiting a target fast and close will mitigate a lot of damage and allow you to beat ships much larger than you

==Modules/Rigs==

* Different versions of standard laser crystals (Multifrequency, Gamma, X-Ray, Ultra, STD, etcetera) all have different capacitor modifiers. If you're (barely) capstable with Standard crystals, you won't be stable with Multifrequency.

== Overview ==

* Hold the CTRL key and left click on an entry in your overview to target it.

* Holding CTRL will also freeze the overview so things don't change position. This is useful for making sure you click the right thing in busy situations.

* Export ur overview! Just do it now! Save in safe spot. Overviews a notorious fustrating to reconfigure after you've got it exactly how u want it.

== Drone Usage ==

* The commands "All Drones: Engage", "All Drones: Return & Orbit" and "All Drones: Return & Dock" can be assigned to hotkeys.

* In your drone window in the overview, don't forget to keep the tab under "Drones in Space" open, so you can moniter your drones health and call them in in case they are attacked. This is especially important if you are using Tech 2 drones, as they are expensive to lose.

* Gallente drones for sheer damage output. Minmatar drones for speed and reasonable damage. Amarr and caldari drones does not really got a role. They are overshadowed by gallente and minmatar

* Gallente drones will even outdamage other drones vs npcs with vulnerbilities against the other damage types. The gallente got that high a base damage that it hardly matters.

* Minmatar drones are a good option in pvp, since they are fast and can catch the enemy. Especially true for warriors vs interceptors and valkyries vs. frigates in general.

* Never trust ~~any~~ random ~~dude~~ in local to help you in a mission. Chances are he will try to get you killed. If you need help, ask in your corp.

* Never trust a random player in local chat to help/salvage for you in a mission. Chances are he will try to get you killed. If you need help, ask in your corp.

* don't fly something that you cannot afford to lose.

* If you don't know what something does then you're probably not ready to use it. you'll learn what it all does with time and training. You don't want to spend money to fit a ship that you cant maximize.

* Never attempt to rush your skills to achieve the next rank of ships.

* Certificates allows players to work towards certain specified certificate levels found under each ships infomation window, in order to fly it well. Newer players should get used to using this system as a guide at first.
