The '''Career Agents''' are a part of EVE Online's new player training. Following on from the [[tutorial]], the career agents offer missions which showcase and explain some of the main [[PvE]] activities in EVE Online, as well as expanding on the topics covered in the tutorial. There are five career agents, each offering between 5 and 10 sequential missions covering a certain area of the game:
+
'''Electronic warfare resistance''' and '''remote assistance impedance''' are a class of attributes that reduce the effectiveness of [[electronic warfare]] and [[remote assistance]] modules. They comes in many shapes and forms, some through innate ship bonuses or tactical modes, others through special modules.  
−
* Industry
 
−
* Business
 
−
* Exploration
 
−
* Military
 
−
* Advanced Military
 
  
−
The agents are not exclusive (i.e. doing one set of missions doesn't "lock" you into a pre-set "career path", as there are no such things in EVE) you can do as many of the agents' missions as you want.  
+
== Resistances and impedances ==
 +
On a basic level, the difference between resistances and impedances is that:
 +
* Resistances help you by making hostile effects (such as electronic warfare) less effective
 +
* Impedances make friendly effects (such as remote assistance) less effective.  
  
−
It is highly recommended that you complete all the mission chains (or arcs if you will) given by the five career agents, even if you already know what you'd like to do in EVE. The missions give a good overview of some of the mechanics of the game, and good financial rewards for a new player. It is also good to have a basic idea of how each career works - for example, even if you don't plan to do any exploration, it is good to have an idea of how other players are able to scan and find you while you are in space doing any number of activities. Also, it's likely that over the course of your time in EVE you will want to try doing many different things. However, keep in mind that they offer no training in [[PvP]] (which make up a very substantial part of the game). Additionally, EVE is a sandbox game, and much of the attraction of the game is forging your own path as opposed to following a pre-set path - so the career agent "careers" should only be seen as one of many things you can do in EVE.
+
There are a variety of attributes that affects the effectiveness of electronic warfare and remote assistance.

If you've followed the [[tutorial]], you will have flown to the station housing the career agents; all five agents are always located in the same station. If you skipped the tutorial, you can locate the closest set of career agents (there are three sets of agents per faction, but they all offer the same missions):

−
# Look for the section called "Career Advancement" on the Support tab.
 
−
# Click on the button "Show Career Agents". This will open another window which will present you with the 5 closest Career agents to your current location.
 
−
# Next to each agent there will be a button labelled "Set Destination". Click it to [[autopilot|plot a route]] to the system and station where the agents are.
 
−
 
 
−
You can do the agents in any order you like (although do the Military agent before you do the Advanced Military one) <!-- true, but is there a good order, given the rewards? -->.
 
−
 
 
−
== Introduction ==
 
−
If you're doing the Career Agent missions right after the tutorial, you may notice that some of the mission mechanics have changed.
 
−
* The currently active mission now shows up in the Info Panel (left side of the screen) under "Agent Missions". Each mission entry has a drop-down menu through which you can read a summary of the objectives. Additionally, once you've completed the objectives for a mission (including, if applicable, returning any items to the correct station), a green tick mark will appear in the Info Panel.  <!-- screenshot -->
 
−
* The missions will also be entered into your mission journal (accessible through the NeoCom, or {{button|ALT}}-{{button|J}})
 
−
* In order to start a mission you must first talk to the agent (right-click on the agent (in the "Agents" panel in the Station Services window), and select "Start Conversation") and accept a mission. Once you've completed the objectives, you must return to the agent's station, and talk to him/her again to complete it. You will then be offered the next mission in the mission chain.
 
−
* The career agent missions often give bonus rewards for completing them particularly quickly, although the timeframe given is usually more than generous.
 
−
* Any agents you accept missions from will be automatically added to your address book (accessible through the People & Places window in the NeoCom). You can use this to find your agent again should you be unsure where to go.
 
−
 
 
−
In many ways, the career agents work similarly to "normal" [[Missions|mission agents]] in EVE, with two important differences:
 
−
* The career agents only have a limited set of missions available. Normal mission agents will continue to offer you new missions indefinitely as long as you have the required [[Missions#Standings|standings]]
 
−
* The career agents will sometimes give you ships, modules, or skillbooks as mission rewards. Normal mission agents almost always pay only ISK and [[Loyalty Points|loyalty points]].
 
−
 
 
−
It's possible to decline a mission from a Career Agent, but this will prevent you from completing the rest of the missions in that agent's mission arc. Therefore, if you want to take a temporary break from a mission chain, click the "Delay" button (instead of the "Reject" button) when a mission is offered.
 
−
 
 
−
While many of the rewards from the Career Agents are useful in the rest of the game, some missions reward you with a "[[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels#Civilian Modules|Civilian]]" module. These modules are much worse than even the basic Tech 1 modules and should be ditched at the earliest possible opportunity.
 
−
 
 
−
Many of the Career Agent missions have you interacting with objects in space (asteroids, containers, acceleration gates, etc); depending on your [[Overview]] settings these may not appear in your Overview. Therefore, the Career Agent missions are a good opportunity to get to know the Overview settings, and (if necessary) to modify them so that you can see all the relevant objects in your Overview. If you're unsure whether your Overview settings are wrong (or if you're just in the wrong place), it may be a good idea to look at the "All" Overview preset from time to time.

== Business agent ==
 
−
The business career agent missions teach you about [[hauling]], [[salvaging]], [[mining]], [[hacking]], and [[manufacturing]]. In total these missions pay about 1.1M ISK in rewards.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (1 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[hauling|Move]] a small item from one station to another.
 
−
 
 
−
Don't forget to put the item into your ship's cargo hold (you can use any ship you like) before you undock. You can click the "set a destination" button (from the Info Panel drop-down menu) to [[autopilot|plot a course]] to the station where you have to drop off the item; the next stargate/station on your route will be highlighted in yellow on your overview. Once you get to the destination station, you can start a conversation with your agent remotely (either through the Station Services panel or through the Info Panel drop-down) to complete the mission, but you must return to him/her to start the next mission. If you're not sure where to return to, you can look up any agents you have previously interacted with in your address book (accessible through the "People & Places" button on the NeoCom).
 
−
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (2 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Use a [[salvaging|salvager module]] to salvage useful components from a wreck.
 
−
 
 
−
You are given a Civilian Salvager module; fit it to your ship (depending on what ship you're using, you may have to remove another high-slot module to make room for the Salvager. Make sure to keep at least one weapon fitted to your ship). The objective wreck is located in a [[deadspace]] area, warp to the deadspace location (right-click in space or on the drop-down menu from the Info Panel) and activate the acceleration gate. There will be some very weak [[rat]]s in the deadspace pocket; destroy them, then target the wreck, approach to within your Salvager's range (5000&nbsp;m) and activate the Salvager. After a few cycles the Salvager will be successful, and you can open the wreck in space and retrieve the item. Return to your agent's station and deposit the item into your Item Hangar on the station to complete the mission.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that normal [[salvaging]] in EVE (outside the Career Agent missions) works slightly differently - you still target wrecks and activate your Salvager module, but any salvaged components are automatically deposited in your ship's cargo bay (no need to manually open a container in space). If you want, you can try this out on the wreck of the rat in the deadspace pocket.
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' A [[Venture]] mining frigate, which you can find (along with all your other ships) in the Ship Hangar in the station.
 
−
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (3 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[mining|Mine]] some Veldspar ore and [[reprocessing|reprocess]] it into at least 333 Tritanium minerals.
 
−
 
 
−
The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 333 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial, use some of the Tritanium you received as a reward). The price of Tritanium on the local market will fluctuate based on supply and demand, but will usually be around 5-6 ISK per unit (so 333 units will cost you around 2000 ISK, which is a negligible amount of money).
 
−
 
 
−
If you want to do this mission the "normal" way, fit a mining module (e.g. a Miner I from the Tutorial, or the Civilian Miner you received when you accepted the mission) to a ship (the Venture you received from the last mission is ideal, as it's a mining frigate, but you could also use most any other ship). You can go to any asteroid belt in the system and find an asteroid with [[Reprocessing#Ore|an ore which can be reprocessed into Tritanium]] (which, in [[high-sec|high security space]], is virtually any kind of asteroid) - alternatively, the mission has created a beacon with a single large "private" Veldspar asteroid. Given the competition for asteroids in newbie star systems, the beacon is probably the safer bet.
 
−
 
 
−
Warp to the beacon, target the asteroid, and turn on your mining module. There is a weak rat near the asteroid - you can either destroy it (if you brought a combat ship), or ignore it, as it doesn't do enough damage to seriously threaten your Venture.
 
−
 
 
−
100 units of Veldspar ore reprocess into 415 units of Tritanium (you can find this out by either looking at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|reprocessing table on the wiki]], or by right-clicking on the Veldspar in-game, selecting "Show Info", and looking at the "Industry" tab) under ideal conditions (100% reprocessing yield). Particularly as a beginner character you will typically have around 50% reprocessing yield (which can be improved by training skills), so you will need at mine at least 200 units of Veldspar in order to get the required 333 Tritanium. Return to the station, move the ore from your ship into your Item Hangar on the station (note that, if you were using your Venture, the ore is in the Venture's special Ore Hold as opposed to the normal Cargo Hold), right-click on the ore and select "Reprocess". Note that you pay a small fee for reprocessing.
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' A {{sk|Reprocessing}} skillbook. Training this skill will improve your reprocessing yield.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (4 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[Hacking|Hack]] a structure with a Data Analyser module.
 
−
 
 
−
Fit the Civilian Data Analyser module to a ship (with at least a modicum of combat ability, e.g. your Corvette). Warp to the mission's deadspace pocket and activate the acceleration gate. Inside the deadspace pocket there is a Data Storage Device with a weak rat guarding it. Destroy the rat, then approach the Data Storage Device, target it, and activate your Data Analyzer module. This will start the [[hacking]] minigame: explore the board by clicking on the green circles until you find the System Core. Once you've disabled the System Core, you can open the container and loot its contents.
 
−
 
 
−
Return to your agent and hand in the Encoded Data Chip. You will also have looted a Datacore - but it's not used for anything, you can leave it in your Item Hangar in the station.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (5 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Move a small item from one station to another.
 
−
 
 
−
The agent gives you an Overdrive Injector System module, which increases your ship's speed - if you want, you can fit it on your ship (although it won't make much of a difference for this mission). To use an Overdrive Injector System module you need to have trained the {{sk|Hull Upgrades}} skill, which is the case for every new pilot. As usual for hauling missions, don't forget to put the item you're meant to transport into your ship's cargo hold and undock. This journey is a bit longer than the one from the first Business mission, so you will want to use the [[Autopilot]] to plot the shortest course to your destination (click on "Set Destination" in the Info Panel). As usual, don't get into the habit of using the Autopilot to actually ''fly'' your ship - the trip will be much faster if you manually warp from gate to gate.
 
−
 
 
−
When you have arrived at your destination, talk to your agent to complete the mission, then return to them.
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' An Expanded Cargohold module (increases the size of your ship's cargo bay). You receive this module at your agent's station.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (6 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Acquire a Tracking Computer module.
 
−
 
 
−
How you acquire the Tracking Computer module is up to you. The fastest way is to buy it from the [[trading|market]] (the module usually costs around 60-70k ISK), although make sure you either buy it in the current station (in the Market window, sort by the "Jumps" column, and see if there is a module being sold in your station at a reasonable price), or else buy it somewhere else (it may be cheaper?) and fly to the station where you bought it to pick it up.
 
−
 
 
−
Alternatively, you can use this mission to learn about basic manufacturing. When you accepted the mission you received a {{sk|Mass Production}} skillbook, which, when trained, allows to manufacture multiple items at once. It's not necessary to train the skill to complete the mission (as you'll only be manufacturing one thing at a time), but training the skill is vital if you want to go deeper into manufacturing.
 
−
* First, you need to buy a [[blueprint]] for the Tracking Computer module. Blueprint Originals (BPOs) are sold on the market (by NPCs, so the prices are fixed - this particular blueprint costs around 100k ISK). It's likely that the closest seller is in another star system, so you will need to fly to their station in order to pick up the blueprint you bought.
 
−
* Once you have the blueprint, return it to your station (or, for that matter, to any nearby station with an Industry facility) and open the Industry window (right-click on the Blueprint, select "Use Blueprint"). This will tell you what materials you need to manufacture the Tracking Computer (Tritanium and Megacyte minerals).
 
−
* You then need to acquire these minerals. Right-click on the minerals and open the "Show Info" window, which will tell you what ores can be reprocessed to obtain these minerals. Tritanium is extremely common, while Megacyte can only be obtained from rare [[nullsec]] ores. While you ''could'' fly to nullsec and mine the ores yourself, it's probably easier to buy the minerals directly from the market.
 
−
* Once you have the minerals, you can start the manufacturing job, which takes about half an hour for this particular module. Once it's done, open the Industry window (from the Station Services window), open the "Jobs" tab at the bottom, and click on "Deliver".
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' A Mining module.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (7 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Hack a structure with a Relic Analyser module.
 
−
 
 
−
This mission is very similar to [[#Balancing the Books (4 of 10)|mission 4]], except that you need to fit the Civilian Relic Analyser module (instead of the Data Analyser you used earlier). Also, after the first acceleration gate, there will be two rats that you need to destroy, before activating a second acceleration gate, which will take you to a second deadspace pocket. Kill the two rats in the second pocket, approach, lock, and hack the container (called an "Ancient Ship Structure"), and loot the contents.
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' An Afterburner module.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (8 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Move a small item from one station to another.
 
−
 
 
−
Another very simple hauling mission, just like [[#Balancing the Books (1 of 10)|mission 1]].
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' An Limited Social Adaptation Chip [[implant]]. If you "plug" implants like these into your character's "head", it increases one of their [[attributes]] (Charisma, in this case), which increases the speed at which your character trains certain skills.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (9 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Acquire 2 Afterburner modules.
 
−
 
 
−
When you accept the mission your agent gives you an Expanded Cargohold module (although it's not really relevant to completing the mission).
 
−
 
 
−
Similar to [[#Balancing the Books (6 of 10)|mission 6]], now you need to acquire two 1MN Afterburner I modules. Again, the easiest way is to buy them from the market (keeping in mind that you received one as a reward from
 
−
mission 7); a 1MN Afterburner costs about 30k ISK. Alternatively you can manufacture one - even though it requires a larger variety of minerals (all of which can be reprocessed from ores mined in [[highsec|high-security space]]) to manufacture than the Tracking Computer from mission 6. The agent also mentions that you could loot a module from a destroyed ship: player ships in EVE drop about half of their cargo and modules when they are destroyed (the other half is lost). So while you ''could'', in theory, fit a combat ship, go into [[low-sec|low-]] or [[nullsec|null-security]] space, and fight other players until you destroy one who happened to use a 1MN Afterburner module, it's probably not a reasonable path for a new player.  
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' An {{sk|Advanced Industry}} skillbook, which, when trained, speeds up your manufacturing speed. Note that only Omega characters can use this skill - you can tell by the orange border around the icon, and by the letter Ω which appears when you mouse over the icon.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Balancing the Books (10 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Manufacture ammunition.
 
−
 
 
−
Your agent gives you a Blueprint Copy ([[BPC]]) for some race-specific ammunition (e.g. hybrid rounds, laser crystals), and even though the mission text says that you must manufacture them, there (yet again) nothing stopping you from buying them from other players on the market.
 
−
 
 
−
If you do decide to manufacture them yourself, follow the same steps as for any other kind of basic [[manufacturing]] (see also [[#Balancing the Books (6 of 10)|mission 6]]). Keep in mind that you need to produce a moderate quantity of ammunition (e.g. 5000 rounds of hybrid ammunition, or 50 laser crystals), increase the value of the "job runs" field in the Industry window until you get the desired outcome. As manufacturing jobs run sequentially  the total manufacturing time can take several hours - but you can do other things (including other missions) during this time if you want. Once the manufacturing job is complete, open the Industry window again, select the "Jobs" tab, and click on "Deliver".
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' Your race's [[Industrial|Fast Industrial]] ship. These ships are very weak in combat, but can carry large amounts of cargo.
 
−
 
 
−
== Exploration agent ==
 
−
The exploration career agent missions teach you about [[exploration]], [[scanning]], [[hacking]], and [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas cloud mining]]. In total these missions pay about 900k ISK in rewards.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Cosmic Anomalies (1 of 5) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Retrieve an object from a [[Cosmic Anomaly]].
 
−
 
 
−
Cosmic Anomalies are a class of relatively easy to find exploration sites. They are scattered all over the EVE universe and can contain hostile NPC ships, asteroids, and more. This particular mission requires that you find an "Anomaly Training Site". There are two ways of doing this:
 
−
* Using the sensor overlay <!-- this needs a crapton of screenshots -->
 
−
** After undocking, fly to somewhere in the star system away from large structures (e.g. to an asteroid belt) - while this isn't strictly necessary, it makes things a bit easier.
 
−
** Check that your sensor sensor overlay is active ({{button|CTRL}}-{{button|O}}, or hover your mouse over the sensor ring around your capacitor), and set the filters to just show Cosmic Anomalies (hide Cosmic Signatures, Landmarks etc).
 
−
** The green lines on the sensor ring around your capacitor indicate where Cosmic Anomalies are in relation to where your camera is pointing. Rotate your camera until one of the green lines is at the top (12 o'clock) of the sensor ring. Then move your camera up and down until you find the anomaly in space. Repeat these steps until you find an "Anomaly Training Site".
 
−
** When you've found an Anomaly Training Site, right-click on it in space and select "Warp To" (or hold the left mouse button and use the radial menu).
 
−
* Using the probe window <!-- more screenshots -->
 
−
** After undocking, open the Probe Scanner window ({{button|ALT}}-{{button|P}}, or through the Scanners button to the left of your capacitor display).
 
−
** Check the filters to display Cosmic Anomalies (you can hide the other types of signatures if you want).
 
−
** Look for an Anomaly Training Site in the list of anomalies, right-click on it, and select "Warp To".
 
−
 
 
−
While the first method gives you a good feeling of where everything is in space, the second method is usually the easier one. Once you get to the anomaly site, look for a training container, approach it, and loot the "proof of discovery" documents. Return to your agent's station, move the documents into your Item Hangar in the station, and complete the mission.
 
−
 
 
−
=== An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Go on a guided tour of [[Cosmic Signatures]].
 
−
 
 
−
Your agent gives you a Frigate (although, strangely enough, not an [[Frigate#Exploration|exploration Frigate]]); undock in it (or in any other ship, for that matter). The tour starts in a [[deadspace]] area, warp to the it (right-click in space or on the drop-down menu from the Info Panel). When you get there, another NPC agent will warp in and give you a guided tour (via text boxes - read them!):
 
−
* Approach and activate the first acceleration gate, which will fling your ship into the first "deadspace pocket".
 
−
* Activate the acceleration gate there to get to the second pocket. There will be a container with exploration supplies and modules (a Probe Launcher with Core Scanner Probes, and Civilian Data and Relic Analysers). Loot them; note that you can't fit modules onto your ship in space (you can only do that in a station or near certain special ships with a fitting service).
 
−
* Activate the acceleration gate to get to the third pocket. This is an example of a Data Site; normally you would use a Data Analyzer module to hack the structures and thus attemt to find valuable loot, but for this mission you're just sightseeing. Feel free to take a closer look at some of the structures in space (right-click on them and select "Look At", or {{button|ALT}}-click), as they are quite pretty.
 
−
* Activate the acceleration gate to get to the fourth pocket. This is an example of a Relic Site, which normally needs a Relic Analyzer module to hack the structures.
 
−
* Activate the acceleration gate to get to the fifth pocket. This is an example of a [[Gas Cloud Mining|gas site]], which normally needs Gas Cloud Harvesting modules (similar to ore [[mining]] modules) to harvest gas, which can then be turned into [[Combat Booster|boosters]].
 
−
 
 
−
Return to your agent's station.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Data Site Scanning (3 of 5) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Scan down and hack a Data Site.
 
−
 
 
−
Fit a ship (e.g. your shiny new frigate) with a Core Probe Launcher and a Civilian Data Analyzer, and load Core Scanner Probes into your probe launcher (drag them onto the fitted probe launcher in the fitting window). Normally it's a better idea to use an exploration frigate for, well, exploration, but for the purposes of this tutorial any ship will do.
 
−
 
 
−
Undock and launch your probes (click on the probe launcher), then open the Probe Scanner window and the Star Map ({{button|CTRL}}-{{button|F10}}, or use the "Map" button on the NeoCom), and resize the windows so that you can see both at the same time. Don't forget to reset the filter on your Probe Scanner window to show Cosmic Signatures. Next, [[Exploration#Probing_Down_an_Exploration_Site|position your probes around the solar system and scan]] (this is probably best explained in a video, such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wErCHjNTsRA this one from Wingspan]) until you find a Data Training Site. Once you've resolved the signature to 100%, warp to it (by right-clicking on the signature in the Probe Scanner window).
 
−
 
 
−
Once inside the site, look for a "Training Container", approach and target it, and activate your Civilian Data Analyzer module. This will start the [[hacking]] minigame: explore the board by clicking on the green circles until you find the System Core. Once you've disabled the System Core, you can open the container and loot its contents. Recover your probes (there's a button for it in the Probe Scanner window) and return to your agent's station - even though this happens automatically when you dock, it's still a good habit to get into.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Relic Site Scanning (4 of 5) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Scan down and hack a Relic Site.
 
−
 
 
−
This is a very similar mission to [[#Data Site Scanning (3 of 5)|mission 3]], except that you're looking for a Relic Training Site instead of a Data Site, so make sure you have a Civilian Relic Analyzer fitted to your ship before undocking. Remember to reload your probe scanner module (either through the ship fitting window in the station, or by right-clicking on the module once in space, assuming your scanner probes are in your ship's cargo hold).
 
−
 
 
−
=== Gas Site Scanning (5 of 5) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Scan down a Gas Site.
 
−
 
 
−
Same as [[#Relic Site Scanning (4 of 5)|mission 4]], except that you're looking for a Gas Site. You don't need any gas mining equipment - Your agent gives you a passkey (an item), make sure to put it into your cargo hold before you undock! Then scan down a Gas Training Site like you previously scanned down a Data and a Relic site. When you have scanned one down and warped to it, activate the acceleration gate inside the site to get to the second pocket. Look for the Training Container, loot its contents, and return to your agent. 
 
−
 
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Reward:}}''' Your faction's [[Frigate#Exploration|exploration Frigate]]. This is the kind of ship you should use for your future scanning endeavours.
 
−
 
 
−
== Industry agent ==
 
−
The industry career agent missions teach you about [[mining]], [[reprocessing]], [[manufacturing]], and [[hauling]]. In total these missions pay about 1.5M ISK in rewards.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Making Mountains of Molehills (1 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[Mining|Mine]] 1000 units of Veldspar ore.

Your agent gives you a Miner module (used for mining ore); fit it to a [[Venture]] mining frigate (if you have one from the tutorial or the [[#Business agent|business agent missions]]; if not, then any other ship will do) and undock from the station. Note that you may get a warning about "insufficient cargo space" if you're flying a Venture - you can safely ignore it, as the game somehow "forgot" that your Venture has a special ore bay which can hold many times more ore than you need to mine for this mission.
 
−
 
 
−
The mission has created a "private" [[deadspace]] pocket for you with a single Veldspar asteroid, warp to it (to warp to the deadspace location, right-click in space or on the drop-down menu from the Info Panel). Once you're there, target the asteroid and activate your mining lasers. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for you to mine the required 1000 units of Veldspar (although since you need more Veldspar for other missions, keep mining for a few more minutes and get a little more, it will save you a few trips later); once you're done, return to the agent's station, move the ore from your ship to the station Item Hangar, and start a conversation with the agent to complete the mission.
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike many other missions, in this case you can't short-circuit the mission objectives by just buying the Veldspar from other players through the [[trading|market]], you actually have to go mine it in the deadspace pocket the mission created for you.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[Reprocessing|Reprocess]] Veldspar into at least 150 units of Tritanium minerals.
 
−
 
 
−
The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 150 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial, use some of the Tritanium you received as a reward). The price of Tritanium on the local market will fluctuate based on supply and demand, but will usually be around 5-6 ISK per unit (so 150 units will cost you around 1000 ISK, which is a negligible amount of money).
 
−
 
 
−
If you want to do this mission the "normal" way, take some of the Veldspar you almost certainly have left over from doing [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (1 of 10)|mission 1]], right-click on it in your Item Hangar, and select "Reprocess". Veldspar (like any other ore) can only be reprocessed in stacks of 100 (don't worry about getting the stack size exactly right; any excess will simply not be reprocessed); 100 Veldspar reprocess into 415 units of Tritanium (you can find this out by either looking at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|reprocessing table on the wiki]], or by right-clicking on the Veldspar in-game, selecting "Show Info", and looking at the "Industry" tab) under ideal conditions (100% reprocessing yield). As a beginner character you will typically have around 50% reprocessing yield (which can be improved by training skills), so you will need at reprocess 100 units of Veldspar in order to get the required 150 Tritanium. Reprocessing is instantaneous, but you do pay a small fee.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[Manufacturing|Manufacture]] (or otherwise acquire) 2 Civilian Afterburner modules.
 
−
 
 
−
This mission introduces you to basic manufacturing. Your agent gives you a Blueprint Copy ([[BPC]]) for 1MN Civilian Afterburner modules. As in many other cases, you could buy the modules from other players (using the market), but in this case it probably isn't worth it, as these modules are so rarely used (they are Civilian modules, and therefore almost worthless) that they are surprisingly expensive to buy.
 
−
 
 
−
Right-click on the BPC and select "Use Blueprint". This will open the Industry window, showing you what materials you need to manufacture the module and how long it takes. Since you want to manufacture 2 modules, increase the "number of runs" to 2 to get an updated quote. Note that you cannot produce more than two modules from the BPC you were given - BPCs (unlike Blueprint Originals (BPOs)) can only be used a limited number of times (in this case, 2). You should have enough Veldspar left over from previous missions to reprocess into the required amount of Tritanium - if not, you can always buy more on the market. Once you have enough Tritanium, start the manufacturing jobs (as the two jobs run sequentially, this takes about ten minutes in total). Once they are completed, open the Industry window, select the "Jobs" tab, and click on "Deliver".

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Destroy hostile NPCs and mine enough Veldspar to reprocess into 7000 units of Tritanium.
 
−
 
 
−
First you have to destroy two rogue drone NPCs ([[rat]]s) at the deadspace location - these are very weak and can be handled by any combat ship (even a Corvette). Fit up a combat ship with at least one weapon, warp to the deadspace area, and destroy the rats.
 
−
 
 
−
Then you have a choice: you can go back to the deadspace location in a mining ship (the rats will not respawn) and mine enough Veldspar (about 4000 units) to refine into 7000 units of Tritanium, or you can buy the Tritanium from the market (it usually costs around 45k ISK for 7000 units). Alternatively, you may well have enough Veldspar and/or Tritanium left over from previous missions to complete the mission without any additional mining.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Transport a small amount of cargo (40&nbsp;m³) to another station in a nearby star system.
 
−
 
 
−
When you accept the mission your agent gives you an Afterburner module module; you can fit it to your ship if you like, although it's not really relevant to completing this mission.
 
−
 
 
−
Don't forget to put the item into your ship's cargo hold (you can use any ship you like) before you undock. Click the "set a destination" button (from the Info Panel drop-down menu) to [[autopilot|plot a course]] to the station where you have to drop off the item; the next stargate/station on your route will be highlighted in yellow on your overview. Don't get into the habit of using the Autopilot to actually ''fly'' your ship - the trip will be much faster if you manually warp from gate to gate.
 
−
 
 
−
Once you get to the destination station, you can start a conversation with your agent remotely (either through the Station Services panel or through the Info Panel drop-down) to complete the mission, but you must return to him/her to start the next mission. If you're not sure where to return to, you can look up any agents you have previously interacted with in your address book (accessible through the "People & Places" button on the NeoCom).

=== Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Manufacture (or otherwise acquire) 20 Cap Booster items.
 
−
 
 
−
A step up from [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (3 of 10)|mission 3]], manufacturing the Cap Boosters (from a BPC given by the agent) is a little more involved.
 
−
* It needs three different kinds of minerals to manufacture (Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon - you can find this out by plugging the BPC into the Industry window and checking the inputs).
 
−
* Then, in turn, right-click on the three input minerals and check their "Show Info" windows to determine what ores they are reprocessed from (or you can look at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|ore table on the wiki]].
 
−
* You will discover that all three minerals can be reprocessed from Pyroxeres or Plagioclase ore, which can be found in systems with a [[security status]] of 0.9 and below.
 
−
* Fit up your Venture and find the nearest 0.9 (or below - but don't go into [[lowsec]]) system, then go from [[Asteroids and Ore|asteroid belt]] to asteroid belt looking for the right kind of ore.
 
−
* Once you have mined enough of the right kind(s) of ore, return to your station, reprocess the ore into minerals, and start the manufacturing process.
 
−
 
 
−
Alternatively, you can just buy either the minerals or the Cap Boosters from the market; they are usually not particularly expensive. However it's may still be worth going through the steps above in order to get a better understanding of the thought process behind manufacturing.

=== Making Mountains of Molehills (7 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Transport a small item to another station.
 
−
 
 
−
A very simple courier mission (like [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (5 of 10)|mission 5]]. Note that this mission (amongst others) requires that you to put up a small sum of ISK as "collateral", which is returned to you after you complete the mission. While the amount is trivial, the principle of collatera for hauling is heavily used for hauling contracts between players (to deter the hauler from just stealing the goods they were meant to be hauling).

−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Manufacture a Civilian Shuttle.
 
−
 
 
−
While manufacturing a ship sounds more daunting than [[manufacturing]] ammunition and modules (which is what you've been doing so far), it works exactly the same way. View the BPC (for manufacturing a Shuttle) your agent gives you in the Industry window to see that it requires about 2800 units of Tritanium minerals - by now you should have no problems acquiring (mining, reprocessing, or buying) the necessary materials. The actual manufacting is fairly rapid too - around 5 minutes.
 
−
 
 
−
Unfortunately you can't circumvent the manufacturing by buying the shuttle off the market - your agent wants a specific kind of Civilian Shuttle which isn't available on the market.

=== Making Mountains of Molehills (9 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Mine some ore and destroy the rat that appears.
 
−
 
 
−
Fit up a ship with both a weapon and a mining laser (your Corvette does the job just fine), undock, and warp to the deadspace location (sometimes it's in an adjacent star system). Inside the deadspace pocket there will be several asteroids, start mining them with your mining laser. After a minute or so a single weak rat shows up - destroy it. It drops a cargo container when destroyed; loot it, and return to your agent. While you're flying back, right-click and select "Show Info" on the "Production Assistant" you just "rescued", noting with amusement both the description and that it falls under the "Livestock" item category.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10) ===
 
−
'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' Acquire a Frigate.
 
−
 
 
−
Your agent gives you a BPC for a Frigate (probably the same one you received in the [[#An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5)|second exploration career mission]]) and asks you to manufacture it. You're probably very familiar with the process by now (from, amongst other things, [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10)|mission 6]]), but manufacturing a proper combat Frigate will take a few more kinds of minerals, which you can either [[reprocessing|reprocess]] from ore or [[trading|buy from other players]]. Since you'll be needing non-trivial amounts (from a new player perspective) of minerals, it probably makes sense to check the prices (if you are buying some/all the materials) in nearby stations to avoid paying far above their market value. It will probably take a bit of flying around to bring all the minerals to your agent's station.
 
−
 
 
−
Of course, you can go the "easy" route and buy a finished Frigate off the market - or even turn in the Frigate you received from the second exploration career mission. To do the latter, unfit all the modules (you can do this quickly by right-clicking on the ship in the Ship Hangar and selecting "Strip Fitting"), then [[repackage]] the Frigate.
 
−
 
 
−
This mission nicely illustrates that, in EVE manufacturing, time can be exchanged for money and vice-versa. Keep this in mind should you go deeper into manufacturing - you can try to acquire all the necessary materials yourself, or you can pay someone else to do it for you (by buying their ore, minerals, or modules/ships via the market - remember, in EVE, almost everything has been manufactured by players), and it's up to you to find the right balance and make the most of both your time and (in-game) money.

At some point you will most likely get an Opportunity pop-up that directs you to talk to and get a mission from a mission agent.  You can go ahead and try any agent you can access, but chances are without further assistance you'll find completing the level 1 missions available to you fairly difficult.  EVE University recommends that you access the Career Agents simply by opening your Help window from the NeoCom (the "?" icon), or simply use the keyboard shortcut of "F12" to open this, and look for the forth section labelled "Career Advancement."  There you will see a button, "Show Career Agents."  Clicking this will open a window that will give you the five closest unique Career Agents currently available to you.  You can then click on the button located to the right of the agent labelled "Set Destination" and you will generate a route you can follow to get to their station.  Just as a note, if you right-click on a contextual name in-game, be it an agent, a station, a system, you can generate a route or waypoint to that location.

−
 
 
−
Before you warp to anywhere, move your mouse cursor your weapon and note its [[Gunnery Guide#Range|optimal and falloff ranges]]: these are the maximum distances at which your weapon will be effective against enemies. It's probably a good idea to set your ship's default "orbit" and "keep at range" distances to a distance around your weapon's optimal range - this will make it easier for you to command your ship to try and maintain the ideal distance between it and enemy ships. To do this, right-click on any entry in the [[Overview]], go into the "Orbit" sub-menu, then into the "Set Default" sub-menu, and select the appropriate range. Repeat for "Keep at Range". <!-- screenshot. -->
 
−
 
 
−
Note that the mission takes place in a [[deadspace]] pocket specifically created for this mission; to warp to it, either use the drop-down menu in the Info Panel (left side of the screen) or right-click anywhere in space. <!-- screenshot! -->
 
−
 
 
−
Once you arrive at the deadspace pocket, you will encounter several rats; order your ship to approach the closest rat. As you get closer, take a look at their icons in the Overview: if there is a yellow box around them, it means that they are targeting your ship. If the box turns red, it means they are firing their weapons at you. <!-- again, this needs a screenshot -->[[Targeting|Target]] the closest one, order your ship to either orbit or keep at range from that enemy, and activate your weapon.
 
−
 
 
−
After you have destroyed the first rat, two more rats will appear, but they will likely be much further away, and you probably won't be able to target it or fire your weapons (effectively) at them because they are too distant. Order your ship to fly toward them (using either the "Approach", "Orbit", or "Keep at Range" commands). If your ship has a propulsion module (e.g. an Afterburner or a Microwarpdrive) fitted, you can activate it to increase your ship's speed.
 
−
 
 
−
As you're flying towards the more distant rats, select one of them, and take a look at the "Selected Item" window (by default, just above your Overview). Note that the rat has a bounty - this is an amount of ISK you will receive if you destroy it. More difficult rats (usually found in [[System Security|lower-security star systems]]) have higher bounties. Destroying rats for their bounties (known as "[[ratting]]") is one way to earn ISK as a combat pilot.
 
−
 
 
−
While your ship is firing at the first rat, you can already target the other nearby rats; you can have a [[Targeting#Number of targets locked|number of enemies]] targeted simultaneously. Destroy the rats one by one. Once a green check mark appears next to the mission name in the Info Panel then you've completed the mission.

Fit the weapon you received as a reward from your last mission on your ship - if you were using a [[Techs, Tiers and Meta levels#Civilian Modules|Civilian]] weapon before, then this new weapon will be a significant upgrade. However, note that all non-civilian ship-mounted weapons require ammunition:
 
−
* Laser crystals for [[Turrets#Energy turrets|energy weapons]]
 
−
* Hybrid ammunition for [[Turrets#Hybrid turrets|hybrid weapons]]
 
−
* Missiles for [[Missile Launchers|missile launchers]]
 
−
* Projectile ammunition for [[Turrets#Projectile turrets|projectile weapons]])
 
−
 
 
−
You load ammunition into your weapon by dragging it onto the fitted weapon on the Fitting screen ({{button|ALT}} + {{button|F}}). It's also a good idea to carry some spare ammunition in your ship's cargo bay, so that you can reload your weapon with fresh ammunition once it's empty. While the mission text recommends you fit a Shield Booster or Armor Repairer module, it's not really necessary; if you happen to have one lying around, by all means fit it to your ship.
 
−
 
 
−
Undock from the station and warp to the mission's deadspace pocket; you will encounter several rats. As before, target them, order your ship to stay at an ideal distance for your weapons, and destroy them. If you have an Afterburner module it can be a good idea to keep it activated if you're orbiting enemies, as it will make your ship [[Gunnery_Guide#Tracking|more difficult to hit]].
 
−
 
 
−
When you destroy the last rat in the deadspace pocket it will drop a cargo container into space; if you cannot see it on your overview, switch to a different overview preset. Either right-click or use the radial menu on the cargo container's entry in the Overview and select the "Open Cargo" command. You need to be within 2500&nbsp;m to retrieve items from containers in space; if you're further away, your ship will automatically fly closer before opening a window where you can retrieve ("loot") the items from the container. 
 
−
 
 
−
Before you return to your agent, note that the enemies you destroyed leave behind wrecks (again, if you cannot see any wrecks on your overview, switch to a different overview preset). Some of these wrecks contain loot, and these are marked with a specific icon. <!-- screenshot of wreck icons --> If you want to retrieve the loot in the wrecks (it's not mandatory for completing the mission), use the same method as you used for the cargo container above. While most items you loot will have relatively little value, the amount does add up over time, and specific "elite" rats can drop very valuable items when destroyed.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that the mission listing on the Info Panel doesn't show a green check mark - that's because even though you have retrieved the civilans, you haven't yet returned them to the agent's station, which is a requirement for completing the mission. Therefore, return to your agent's station. While you're flying back, right-click on the civilians you rescued (in your ship's cargo bay) and select "Show Info"; note with dark amusement that, to capsuleers (like yourself), civilians are classified as "Livestock".

While your Corvette is more than capable of handling this mission, you might as well take your shiny new combat Frigate out for a spin. Before you can use it, however, you must first [[assembling|assemble it]]: Find it in your Ship Hangar, right-click on it and select "Assemble". Then right-click on your ship again and select "Make Active" to, well, activate it (i.e. to have your character change from piloting your Corvette to piloting your new Frigate).
 
−
 
 
−
There are two things you should do before taking your new ship out:
 
−
* Fit some modules to it.
 
−
** At the very least your ship needs some weapons - your agent will have given you two race-appropriate turret weapons (e.g. Railguns or Beam Lasers); open the Fitting screen and drag the turrets to your ship's High Power Slots ("[[high slot]]s"). Don't forget to load them with ammunition. If your ship has more than two turret slots you can also fit the weapon you received in [[#Cash Flow for Capsuleers (1 of 10)|mission 1]] - although if you fitted it to another ship for mission 2 you will need to remove it first. To do this, either activate the previous ship and drag the weapon from the Ship Fitting screen to the Item Hangar, or right-click on the previous ship and select "Strip Fitting" (which will remove ''all'' the modules currently fitted to that ship and put them in your Item Hangar).
 
−
** Some kind of propulsion module (afterburner or microwarpdrive) would be helpful, but don't fret too much if you don't have one to hand. Later missions will reward you with one, or, if you're impatient, you can always [[trading|buy]] one from other players through the market.
 
−
* [[Insuring your ship|Insure your ship]]. It's good practice to always insure your ships as a new player. The insurance premiums are very low, and the insurance will pay you most of the value of the ship's hull (''excluding'' any modules or cargo) should it be destroyed.
 
−
 
 
−
Once you're ready, undock from the station. Once in space you'll notice that you have an icon for each of your weapon modules - while you can target and fire each weapon individually, it's almost always a good idea to fire them together at one target. You can make this easy by dragging the modules onto each other to "stack" them, allowing you to fire all your weapons with a single click or button press.
 
−
 
 
−
Warp to the mission's deadspace location, and start fighting the rats there. You will encounter some Drone rats for the first time (you can identify them by their icon on the Overview, compared with the Frigates and Corvettes you have been fighting so far) <!-- screenshot -->. Some of these (the helpfully named Webber Drones) will use [[web|Stasis Webifier]] modules on you (this is referred to as "webbing"), slowing your ship down and making it easier to hit with weapons. An icon will apear above your capacitor indicating that an enemy is webbing you <!-- screenshot! -->; you can move your mouse over it to show which enemy is doing the webbing; you may wish to destroy these first.
 
−
 
 
−
A [[Destroyer]] rat (note the different Overview icon) will also appear and taunt you in the Local chat channel, but will warp off before you can engage it. The last rat that you destroy will drop a cargo container into space; as before, loot its contents, and return to your agent's station.

This mission is very simple. Fly to the mission's deadspace location, and find the "Smuggler Stargate" on your [[Overview]]. You may need to switch to a different Overview preset (or modify the presets) in order to see it. Order your ship to approach it; as you're flying, take the time to admire the pretty scenery. When you get close enough, the mission will complete (look for the green tick mark in your Info Panel) - return to your agent's station.

Your agent will give you a Shield Hardener module, which, when fitted to your ship and activated, will reduce the damage your ship takes from a specific [[damage types|damage type]]. There are four damage types in EVE (Electromagnetic, Thermal, Kinetic, and Explosive), and your ship is differently susceptible to each. Fit the Shield Hardener module to your ship (it's a [[mid slot]] module; if you don't have any spare mid slots, remove one of the existing modules and fit the Shield Hardener) and undock.
 
−
 
 
−
To see the effects of the Shield Hardener in action, once in space, open the Fitting window. Then open the Attributes panel (on the right-hand side of the Fitting window) and make sure the "Defense" section is expanded (i.e. the details are visible). This part of the Fitting window shows you how much damage your ship can take before being destroyed (commonly known as "[[Tanking|tank]]") - note that your tank is made up of shields, armor, and structure, and each has a different resistance to the four damage types. Assuming you're being shot at by all four damage types equally, adding the three tank types together gives you your ship's "effective hitpoints" (EHP), which are a good overall indication of how tough your ship is.

−
Note your shields' resistance to the four damage types, then activate your Shield Hardener module (it doesn't provide any benefits unless it's active). Note how your shields' resistance to the module's damage type increase, and how this also increases your ship's effective hit points. NPCs (rats) in EVE [[NPC Damage Types|are very predictable]] in what damage types they deal - your agent will have given you a Shield Hardener to counter the local rats' preferred damage type.
 
−
 
 
−
Fly to the mission's deadspace location, and activate your Shield Hardener module. Destroy the one rat, and return to your agent.

Read the mission descriptions carefully when doing the Advanced Military path. Two of the missions require losing your ship, so make sure you use the ship supplied by the agent and get platinum insurance. The Advanced Military Agent will give a Letter of Recommendation that can be used to enter the NPC Factional Warfare corporation. [[Factional Warfare|Factional Warfare Guide]]

−
When you first begin the tutorial in EVE your first mission will be given to you by a tutorial agent at the station in your starter system.  After you complete that mission, you will be directed to contact the career agents.  These agents are found in a nearby solar system, and will provide you with missions that will give you a very basic overview of some of the many career choices in EVE.
 
−
 
 
−
Career agent also provide a significant standing boost to their associated faction.

−
These are the starter systems in EVE.  Each one has a single station, and a single Level 1 Quality 0 agent ("Aura," the ship-board computer persona) who will provide you with your first two missions during the tutorial.  The system at which you start in is dependent on the corporation you pick when you create the character, for instance, creating a new Minmatar player with a corporation of "Republic Military School" will place you in Ammold - which happens to be the nearest starter system to Aldrat.

== Understanding the values ==
−
'''Amarr'''
+
As with many attributes or bonuses, it can sometimes be difficult to understand how their effects are calculated. Sometimes attributes that are very similar in name, have the same functions, sometimes they do not. Sometimes the same type of effect can be shown as both a positive or a negative bonus, while functioning the same in the end.

Note that every character can access the final starter missions one time at each location.  The rewards are minimal, and the end result is to send you to the nearest set of Career Agents (listed below).  However, if after leaving your school you decide to visit one of the other schools, the first mission you are given grants you a rookie ship of the race associated with the school.

You can locate your career agents at any time by clicking on the help button in your [[NeoCom|NeoCom]].  At the bottom of the help window, you will find a button labeled 'Show Career Agents'.  Clicking on that button will bring up a list of your career agents.  Clicking on the 'Set Destination' button will set your autopilot to the career agent's location. You can only do each career agent once so please do not quit any of their mission you will not be able to talk to them again if you do.

"Balancing the Books (x10)"
 
−
1. Move small item from one station to another.
 
−
Need to look under "Agents of Interest" -> Start Conversation, or under "Agent Missions" -> green tick -> Start Conversation
 
−
To get the next mission you have to go back to the agent in person (cannot accept remotely)
 
−
2. Receive a Civilian Salvager.
 
−
Go to deadspace (accel gate)
 
−
Some very minor combat
 
−
Target wreck, use salvager module, open cargo
 
−
Can complete mission with item still in cargo hold
 
−
Reward: Venture
 
−
3. Given Civilian Mining Laser. Use Venture (or anything else), mine some Veldspar (in private deadsace pocket, with a single asteroid), refine into Tritanium (x333).
 
−
Asks for collateral
 
−
You probably still have some Tritanium from the NPE
 
−
You can use a civilian miner or a Miner I
 
−
There is one minor rat, but it's so weak that it won't break through your Venture's shields
 
−
About 200x Veldspar -> Reprocess -> Get Trit
 
−
Although you could just buy the Trit off the market :) Will probably cost about 6x333 = 2000 ISK
 
−
Reward: Reprocessing skillbook
 
−
As usual, any Civilian Modules are trash. Get rid of them once you've finished the tutorials.
 
−
4. Given Civilian Data Analyser.
 
−
Go to deadspace (LH HUD, right-click in space, People & Places -> Places -> Agent Missions)
 
−
Single weak rat
 
−
Hack structure
 
−
Loot contents (includes Data Core.... not sure what it's used for)
 
−
5. Given an Overdrive Injector System. (not a civilan one, either :) )
 
−
Need to transport the Data Chip to another station. Use "Set Destination" if you want.
 
−
Note that you don't actually need to install this module, but you can if you want to.
 
−
Note says you need to have learned Hull Upgrades I - which every new pilot already has.
 
−
Reward: Expanded Cargohold (at your original agent's station)
 
−
6. Given Mass Production skillbook . Must produce a Tracking Computer module.
 
−
Note that Mass Production skill needs Industry III to start training, and isn't necessary for completing this mission. You can still inject it though, no reason not to.
 
−
Can either buy it from the market (~60k ISK) or manufacture it (BPO costs 100k)
 
−
When buying make sure to buy from the current station, or you have to go get it from wherever it was sold from
 
−
Show info on BPO - Manufacturing needs Tritanium and Megacyte, which can be mined (Megacyte in nullsec), or bought from market. Takes 30 minutes.
 
−
Reward: Miner I
 
−
7. Given Civilian Relic Analyser. (note: not the same as the Data Analyser you got earlier!)
 
−
Fit it to a ship (any ship).
 
−
Warp to deadspce. Take out two easy rats. Go through another accel gate. Take out two more easy rats. Hack structure.
 
−
Reward: 1MN Afterburner
 
−
8. Given Central Data Core. Transport to another station.
 
−
Don't forget your item :)
 
−
Reward: Limited Social Adaptation Chip implant (+1 CHA)
 
−
9. Receive Expanded Cargohold. Must procure (however I choose) 2x 1MN Afterburner
 
−
You already have 1 from mission 7
 
−
Can buy from market (~20k ISK)
 
−
Or can manufacture. BPO costs 65k, and needs Tritanium, Pyerite, Mexallon, and Noxcium. They can all be refined from ores in high-sec. Takes 15 min to manufacture.
 
−
Reward: Advanced Industry skillbook (Omega only)
 
−
10. Given ammunition BPC. Must procure ammo (e.g. 5000x Antimatter S)
 
−
Can buy from market (costs about ~150k), despite what the mission text says.
 
−
For manufacturing: each BPC run produces >1 ammo (for Antimatter S: 100). As above, missing minerals can be bought from the market or mined & reprocessed. Each run takes about 5 minutes, so the total manufacturing time is ~3 hours.
 
−
Reward: racial fast transport (e.g. Nereus)
 
−
Total ISK: ~1.1M
 
−

"Cosmic Anomalies (x5)"
 
−
 
 
−
1. Activate sensor overlay (CTRL-O, or ring around capacitor). Filter for "Anomalies". Move camera around until you find an "Anomaly Training Site". Warp to it. (right
 
−
Whatever is at the top of the sensor overlay is where your camera is pointing (may have to move up/down to find it).
 
−
Alternatively, use the probe scanner. Warp to anomaly using right-click menu or button to the right of the entry.
 
−
Then, once at the anomaly training site, find the training container (may need to adjust overview settings) and loot the contents. Return to agent.
 
−
2. Receive racial logi (?!?!) frigate (e.g. Navitas)
 
−
Warp to deadspace
 
−
There is an acceleration gate here, they actually tell you how to use it. How nice. Use it.
 
−
In the second pocket there is a container with exploration supplies (probe launcher, core scanner probes, civilian data/relic analysers). Pick them up. note that you can't fit them yet (need eg a station)
 
−
Explains the difference between anomalies and signatures
 
−
Activate acceleration gate.
 
−
Third pocket: example of a data site. Explains that we need to use Data Analysers to hack them. Take accel gate.
 
−
Fourth pocket: example of a relic site. Explains that we need to use Relic Analysers to hack them. Take accel gate.
 
−
Fifth pocket: example of a gas site. Explains that we need gas huffers. Return to agent.
 
−
3. Scan a data site.
 
−
Fit ship with scanner module and data analyser.
 
−
Find a training data site. Oh dear lord, they don't even explain how the probe interface works! Poor newbies.
 
−
Find a Training Container. Lock it and hack it. Loot the "Documents".
 
−
Return to agent. Recover your probes before you dock - alternatively, you will automatically recover them when you dock, but it's a bad habit.
 
−
4. Scan a relic site.
 
−
Same deal. If you didn't reload your probe launcher in the station fitting window, you right-click on it and click "Reload" (as long as the probes are in the cargo hold of your ship).
 
−
5. Scan a gas site.
 
−
Don't need any gas huffing equipment (probably because the skill is brutally expensive :) )
 
−
Bring the "proof of discovery" along!
 
−
There is an accel gate inside - activate it.
 
−
Loot the documents from the training container. Return to agent.
 
−
Reward: Scanning frigate (e.g. Imicus)
 
−
Total: ~900k ISK

=== Industry ===
 
−
"Making Mountains of Molehills (x10)"
 
−
 
 
−
1. Given a Miner I. Mine Veldspar x1000.
 
−
You can use the Venture (or any other ship), make sure to fit the mining module.
 
−
Or you can buy it off the market (about 14k ISK)
 
−
Note that, in order to complete the mission, you actually have to mine the ore. Then return to agent and transfer ore into station hangar.
 
−
2. Mine 100x Veldspar , then reprocess into at least 150x Tritanium
 
−
This time you can buy it off the market :)
 
−
Reprocess the Veldspar into Tritanium
 
−
Reward: (yet another) Venture
 
−
3. Given a Civilian Afterburner BPC (2 runs). Produce two of them.
 
−
They need 64 Tritanium each. As usual, mine it yourself, or buy it (or the ore).
 
−
You could even buy the afterburners, but they tend to cost far more than they are worth.
 
−
Manufacturing takes ~10 minutes.
 
−
Reward: (yet another) Expanded Cargohold
 
−
4. Destroy rogue drones, acquire 7000 Tritanium
 
−
Will get a warning about 7000 Trit (70m³) not fitting in the Venture's cargo hold. Ignore it, as you won't be hauling the trit from anywhere, you'll be hauling Veldspar.
 
−
Warp to deadspace. Destroy two weak rats. Mine the Veldspar.
 
−
Optimal way: have trained Drones III by this point, fly two light drones from a Venture.
 
−
Alternatively, destroy rats with a combat ship (even a Corvette), then return to the site with a Venture.
 
−
Acquire 7000 Trit (requires about 4000 Veldspar), return to station. Remember to move the Trit into your station's "item hangar" (the agent can't "see" inside your ship's ore hold, for some reason)
 
−
Reward: (yet another) Miner I.  
 
−
5. Transport goods (40m³) to another station. Given a 1MN Afterburner I.
 
−
Reward: (yet another) Expanded Cargohold I
 
−
6. Make 20x Cap Booster 25. Given a BPC.
 
−
needs Trit, Pyerite, Mexallon. Refined from Plagioclase / Pyroxeres (as it says in the mission description). You have to find it yourself, though.
 
−
Or can just buy from market (about 3k ISK).
 
−
7. Transport items (20m³) to another station.
 
−
Reward: (yet another) Overdrive Injector System
 
−
Note that this mission (like some others) requires you to put up "collateral", which is returned after you complete the mission. The amount is trivial, but it shows how collateral works, which is important for future hauling.
 
−
8. Given a shuttle BPC. Build a shuttle.
 
−
Requires 2800x Tritanium (reprocessed from about 1400 Veldspar).
 
−
Note that you can't buy it from the market, as it's not listed (it's a "civilian" shuttle.... whatever that is).
 
−
Manufacturing takes around 5 minutes.
 
−
9. Fly to location. Mine ore with mining laser. Rats show up, destroy them.
 
−
Warp to deadspace. Start mining. After a few minutes, a weak rat show up. It drops a cargo container. Loot it.
 
−
Can be easily done in a corvette.
 
−
10. Given a logi frigate BPC (eg Navitas). Build it.
 
−
You can just buy it off the market. Or turn in the one you got from the exploration tutorial.
 
−
If you're going to build it, you have to do some research into all the different materials you need, and where to find them.
 
−
Reward: industrial (e.g. Nereus).
 
−
Total rewards: ~1.5M ISK
 
−
[balance: 5.1 M ISK]

=== Military ===
 
−
"Cash Flow for Capsuleers" (x10)
 
−
 
 
−
1. Clear pirates from a belt (deadspace)
 
−
Warp to deadspace (not an asteroid belt!). Can do this through right-click menu in space, or through LH menu. Corvette with civilian weapons is fine.
 
−
One of them will be far away. Note range of your weapons. Note your maximum targeting range. If you fitted an afterburner, now would be a good time to use it.
 
−
Note yellow-boxing (has you targeted) and red-boxing (is firing on you) on the overview.
 
−
Note that you can lock >1 target at a time (4 with starting skills).
 
−
Note floating combat text which tells you if your weapon is doing damage.
 
−
Show Info on the pirates, notice that they have bounties. Your bounties are aggregated and paid out every 20 minutes.
 
−
Note that destroyed enemies leave behind wrecks. Differentiate between full, empty, and checked (emptied) wrecks on the overview. Note 2500m looting range.
 
−
Destroy them. Note that more may spawn. (total: 4). Wait for mission green check mark (LH side of screen).
 
−
Return to agent.
 
−
Reward: Small weapon (e.g. railgun) + ammo
 
−
2. Clear out more pirates. Retrieve civilians.
 
−
Warp to deadspace pocket.
 
−
Note that you will, for the first time, use a weapon that needs ammo (even if it's infinite, like lasers).
 
−
Destroy easy rats. Again, some will be at range. AB helps.
 
−
The last one will drop a cargo container. Approach and loot.
 
−
Do "Show Info" on the civilian to note with amusement that they are considered "livestock".
 
−
Return to agent.
 
−
Reward: fast frigate (e.g. Atron)
 
−
3. Clear out (yet more) pirates. Loot documents from a cargo container. Given some weapons (e.g. 2x railgun).
 
−
You can do this in a corvette, but the fast frigate you got earlier will do the job better. Assemble ship (in your ship hangar), Make Active, and don't forget to fit modules to it. Some kind of weapon, and an AB if you've got one (if not, don't worry, you'll get one later, or buy it off the market). Don't forget to load ammo/crystals, as non-civilian weapons need ammo.
 
−
If you have several guns on your ship, you can drag them on top of each other to group them (fire them all with one click / button press). This is almost always a good idea.
 
−
You'll see non-frigate enemies (drones) on your overview for the first time. Some will be webbing drones that will slow down your ship. Note the web icon in the EWAR bar. Webbing is bad as it slows you down and makes it easier to hit.
 
−
Also, you'll encounter your first destroyer (note overview icon). He'll warp off before you can kill him, though, but not before taunting you in Local chat.
 
−
The last enemy will drop a cargo container. Loot it and return.
 
−
4. Warp to deadspace area.
 
−
Fly towards the stargate (find it on your overview, or in space). [link to overview settings]
 
−
When you get close enough to the stargate you will complete your mission. Return to your agent, as the stargate starts damaging your ship.
 
−
Rewards: Afterburner I (yet again).
 
−
5. Fly to deadspace area. Meet up with pirate. Given shield hardener (e.g. thermal against Serpentis)#
 
−
Explain the fitting window. Show shield resistances and EHP.
 
−
Fitting window doesn't show the effect of Active modules.
 
−
Show simulation window.
 
−
Can toggle module states (grey = offline; white = online + inactive; green = active; red = active & overheated)
 
−
Note how shield resistances change, and how total ship EHP change as module is active/inactive
 
−
Explain how different (player) weapons do different kinds of damage. Is somewhat unpredictable. NPCs have more predictable damage patterns.
 
−
Fly to deadspace, shoot single rat. Activate your hardener.
 
−
Return to agent.
 
−
6. Fly to deadspace. Destroy an outpost.
 
−
Fly to deadspace. Note that you probably used some ammo during the last mission, so ensure you have some spares in your cargo hold before you undock (unless using lasers). You can reload through the fitting screen or in space (right click on weapon -> Reload all)
 
−
There is an acceleration gate there. Approach it and activate it.
 
−
Explain acceleration gates.
 
−
1st room: some rats. Activate your hardener. Have to destroy them before you can activate the next accel gate. Will warp in additional waves.
 
−
2nd room: outpost. Destroy it. When you start shooting it, sentry guns (stationary turrets) will appear, plus one rat frigate. You can either destroy the outpost and warp off, or stay and fight the sentry guns. They do a moderate amount of damage, so don't stay still. AB helps.
 
−
The destroyed outpost drops a cargo container. Loot it if you want.
 
−
Return to station. Your ship may have taken some shields and armor damage. Shields regenerate on their own, armor must be repaired. Either buy and fit an armor repairer (may get one in next mission), or use the "repairshop" system facility to pay (very little) ISK to repair.
 
−
Reward: +1 PER implant. Explain implants. Plug it in if you want. Note Your implants under character sheet -> character -> augmentations. Note your attributes under character sheet -> character -> attributes
 
−
7. Warp to deadspace, destroy pirates. Given an armor repairer (maybe a shield repairer for other factions?), don't forget to fit it.
 
−
Explain active tanking.
 
−
Warp to deadpsace. Destroy rats. There will be several waves. There is a large asteroid complex in the middle of the mission, note that you can shoot through it, but can't fly through it. Your ship will bump against it (causing no damage but slowing you down). If this gets annoying, fly away from the asteroid and wait for the rats to follow you.
 
−
If you take armor damage, activate your armor repairer until your armor is fully repaired. Note that you probably don't have enough capacitor to permanently run your repairer, so turn it off when your armor is fully repaired.
 
−
When all rats are destroyed, check that mission is complete, return to the agent.
 
−
8. Fly to deadspace, retrieve VIPs.
 
−
Fly to deadspace, approach the "Le Fleur Inn" (needs Large Collidable Structures enabled on the overview)
 
−
When you approach the hotel, an explosion will go off, damaging your ship. No-one is left alive to recover.
 
−
Mission is complete, but you can destroy the pirates that appear for loot and bounties. They can be a little tough, so keep your speed up, orbit at your optimal, and cycle your armor repairer as needed. Don't hesitate to warp out if you feel overwhelmed.
 
−
Reward: 2x Overdrive Injector System
 
−
9. Fly to deadspace, destroy narcotics warehouse.
 
−
Fly to deadspace. Activate the gate (can also destroy three corvettes if you want, but it's optional. If you destroy them, three more rats will warp in)
 
−
1st room: 3 rats and the narcotics warehouse. Destroy it. If you also destroy the rats (optional), after you kill them, 3 more warp in. Then 3 more.
 
−
Return to agent.
 
−
Reward: Stasis Webifier
 
−
10. Warp to deadspace, take out pirate leader.
 
−
Fit the web you got from the last mission, it will help.
 
−
Warp a few systems over. Accel gate, take it.
 
−
1st pocket: 5 corvettes. Then 2 frigates. Destroy them, then take gate.
 
−
2nd pocket: 4 frigates. Then 2 frigates. Then 2 frigates. Destroy them, then take gate.
 
−
3rd pocket: Stasis tower + 3 frigates. Note the stasis web from the tower, and how it slows you down.
 
−
After destroy stasis tower, pirate ejects in a capsule (just like a capsuleer does when their ship is destroyed). Destroy the capsule to complete the mission. Note that he leaves behind a frozen corpse, but you can only look at it (not take it with you, as would be the case for a destroyed capsuleer ship).
 
−
If having trouble, learn about optimal range and tracking. It may be better to "keep at range" rather than "orbit" to keep your angular velocity low (depending on your weapon). Also, your guns may have different kinds of ammo (long vs short range) - experiment. Also, use your web to keep your enemies where you want them to be.

−
Fit remote armor repper. Depending on what ship you're flying you may have to take out one of your weapons.
 
−
Lock the "damaged vessel" and activate remote armor repper. Strangely enough, when you lock him it doesn't look like his armor is damaged. After a cycle he then warps off, which is again odd, because armor reppers do nothing to repair warp drives. Oh well. Storyline and all that. Return to agent.

Electronic warfare resistance and remote assistance impedance are a class of attributes that reduce the effectiveness of electronic warfare and remote assistance modules. They comes in many shapes and forms, some through innate ship bonuses or tactical modes, others through special modules.

Resistances and impedances

On a basic level, the difference between resistances and impedances is that:

  • Resistances help you by making hostile effects (such as electronic warfare) less effective
  • Impedances make friendly effects (such as remote assistance) less effective.

There are a variety of attributes that affects the effectiveness of electronic warfare and remote assistance.

  4. ^ The Icon target max.pngECM Resistance is separate from regular ECCM-mechanics, see resistances below).

Examples

Below are some examples of ships, modules or scripts with such resistances and impedances:

The Confessor and other tactical destroyers have the information in the Traits tab as it's not always applied to the ship depending on their tactical mode.
For ships like the Avatar and other titans, the effect is always there and can also be found in the Attributes tab.
Modules like the Siege Module II and Triage Module II also apply certain bonuses and drawbacks in the form of resistances and impedances, which you can seen under the Attributes tab.
The Electronic Hardening Charge (used in Information Command Burst modules) will not only boost your sensor strength, but also give the recipient a moderate electronic warfare resistance to remote sensor dampening and weapon disruption.

Understanding the values

As with many attributes or bonuses, it can sometimes be difficult to understand how their effects are calculated. Sometimes attributes that are very similar in name, have the same functions, sometimes they do not. Sometimes the same type of effect can be shown as both a positive or a negative bonus, while functioning the same in the end.

Resistances

Resistances are often presented as negative bonus values, ranging from -0 down to -100%. The value represents how much of the effect is removed, so a -70% resistance bonus reduces the effectiveness of electronic warfare by 70%. This attribute can sometimes be presented as a positive bonus value (for example in the traits tab of a tactical destroyer). The bonus works the same though, despite it being a positive number, in that the +66.6% resistance bonus reduces electronic warfare effectiveness (in this case, weapon disruption and sensor dampening) by 66.6%.

ECM Resistance

ECM Resistance works differently from other electronic warfare resistances, in that they give a chance at avoiding the effect of enemy ECM jammers. This can best be explained as a flat "chance to fail" that is checked before anything else. This is an exception to how all the other resistances work due to the fact that a ship cannot be partially jammed. An Icon target max.pngECM Resistance bonus of 100% means they cannot be jammed at all; the ECM module will simply not activate on the target. This can be a useful method in PvP to verify that a certain ship has entered triage or siege mode. A partial bonus of 50% would first roll the 50% chance of simply resisting the jamming effect right away, failing that it would then proceed to check whether the ECM strength of the hostile jammer is enough to overcome the sensor strength of the target.

Worth noting is that partial ECM resistance is currently a theoretical scenario described in the Reworking Capital Ships: And thus it begins!  devblog; there are currently no such semi-resistance bonuses in the game, just 100% bonuses giving full immunity through Siege, Triage and Bastion modules.

Impedances

Impedances are also presented as either positive bonuses (often in the case for ships' innate impedance values) or negative bonuses (commonly done for impedance bonuses from modules). If the value is a negative value, like a -60% impedance bonus, it means that any incoming remote assistance of that kind is reduced by 60%. If the value is a positive +80% impedance bonus it means that they will lose 80% of the positive effect of the remote assistance, in effect only gaining 20% of it.
