For instance, if Aldrat were our system of choice and we wanted an agent in close proximity, our choice would be limited to Sakold Ortmur from Six Kin Development, a quality 0 agent in Lustrevik. This means you would need a standing of at least 6.0 with this corporation to run his/her missions. | For instance, if Aldrat were our system of choice and we wanted an agent in close proximity, our choice would be limited to Sakold Ortmur from Six Kin Development, a quality 0 agent in Lustrevik.

Once a target corporation has been determined, you may have to increase your standing. You can either run Level 1/2/3 missions to raise your standing, or alternatively find a Unista already running missions for this corp. Level 4 combat pilots will get you up very quickly and you could offer the pilot in question to salvage his missions for him until your standing goals are achieved. | Once a target corporation has been determined, you may have to increase your standing.

The skills necessary to run the missions are pretty low. As soon as you can fly a reasonably-sized industrial, you're good to go, within your first week of your EVE time even. And it's cheap, too! | The skills necessary to run the missions are pretty low. As soon as you can fly a reasonably-sized industrial, you're good to go, within your first week of your EVE time even.

'''The combat mission''' - Fairly rare to occur. Should you be unable to perform it yourself, you may want to consider asking another unista for assistance as the loot and salvage from these missions is very profitable. If not, you can always decline it. | '''The combat mission''' - Fairly rare to occur.

If you are fast enough, you easily bag a storyline per hour. And should luck be with you, these will be an implant mission. This means 20 mil from the implant + rewards + LP which should be yet another 25 mil an hour. Of course, the better the agent (with higher quality) and the better the system (sec status at .6 or .5), you can get even more. Not at all bad for new players! | If you are fast enough, you easily bag a storyline per hour. And should luck be with you, these will be an implant mission.

To get the most out of running these missions, you should increase the related Social skills increasing your rewards and LP gain. There are at least 2 Skillbooks for each division to increase the LP gain. They may be expensive (+/- 40 mil for both) but they will give a good return after some time. | To get the most out of running these missions, you should increase the related Social skills increasing your rewards and LP gain.

Always be aware the destination system's security status! It may happen that your destination system falls into low sec once in a while. You may want to risk running the mission if you are equipped for it, however under normal circumstances it would be safer to decline it (once every 4 hours). | Always be aware the destination system's security status!

Of course there are no 100% Cargo agents in space, so sometimes you may be faced with a combat mission. If you are not equipped to handle it, you can either chose to decline it, or attempt to get some help from a fellow unista. | Of course there are no 100% Cargo agents in space, so sometimes you may be faced with a combat mission.

You can safely decline a mission every 4 hours without negative consequences; however sometimes you may be faced with 2 unsuitable missions in quick succession. You then have to sit out the countdown, run some hauling contracts as an alternative or use an alternative agent if available. Your choice. | |||
As a final comment, always be aware of elemental safety rules during your hauling missions; such as no autopilot, no Industrial if you don't have. Shuttles/frigates are much faster and difficult to point. | |||
