[[File:Mouseover-weapon-range.jpg|thumb|right|Move your mouse over your weapon to show its characteristics.]] [[File:Set-default-orbit-distance.jpg|thumb|right|Set your ship's default orbit distance.]] 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".

[[File:Right-click-space-navigate.jpg|thumb|right|Right-click in space to warp to the mission location.]] 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.

−
[[File:Yellow-red-boxing.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Rats targeting and firing at your ship.]]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. [[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.

* You can use any ship, including your corvette, as long as it's armed with some weapons.
 +
* You can check your weapon's [[Gunnery Guide#Range|optimal and falloff ranges]] by hovering a mouse over it - 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 around your weapon's optimal range. 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".

 +
* If there is a yellow box around the rat's icon in the Overview, it is targeting your ship. If the box turns red, it is taking offensive actions, such as firing weapons at you.
 +
* You can check a rat's description, bounty, and damage resistance profiles in its "Show Info" panel (available either from the Selected Item window or right-click menu).
  
−
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:
+
* When the mission is turned in, the agent grants you a faction-specific weapon along with ammunition as bonus rewards. The table below lists the faction-specific rewards given along with links to the detailed description of each weapon system. Note that weapons outside the Civilian variant require ammunition to operate.

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 (with the exception of T1 frequency crystals which do not run out). 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]].  
+
* Feel free to try out the new weapon module from the previous mission, noting that it requires ammunition. You load ammunition into your weapon by dragging it onto the fitted weapon on the Fitting screen ({{button|ALT}} + {{button|F}}) or right-clicking on the weapon in space and selecting which ammunition to load (which takes a few seconds). It's also a good idea to carry some spare ammunition in your ship's cargohold so that you can reload your weapon with fresh ammunition once it's empty (with the exception of T1 frequency crystals which do not run out).
 +
* While the mission text recommends you fit a Shield Booster or Armor Repairer module, it's not necessary.
 +
* When you destroy the last rat in the deadspace pocket, it will deposit the civilians into your cargo hold and the mission is complete. You can now dock.
 +
[[File:Overview-wrecks.jpg|thumb|Different wrecks on the overview.]]
 +
* 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. 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.
 +
* The frigate given out as a reward is ideal for completing the remaining missions in the chain due to its increased combat capabilities and speed compared to a corvette.
  
−
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 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.

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 civilians, you haven't yet returned them to the agent's station, which is a requirement for completing the mission. 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 frigate that you received from the previous mission 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 - accepting this mission will have given you two faction-appropriate turret weapons; 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 (which will be the case if you're using the one given by the previous mission) 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.
 
−
* [[Ship Insurance|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. Note, however, that repackaging the ship renders the insurance void, and therefore you will often have to manually fly it if you want to move the ship to another location without losing the insurance.
 
  
−
Once you're ready, undock from the station. When 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. Note that for weapon modules to be stacked, they need to be of the same type and carry the same number and type of ammunition.
+
* If you wish to fly the new frigate obtained from the last mission, don't forget to take useful modules from the ship you were flying previously to the new one. To unfit modules, 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".
 +
* A weapon occupies a turret/launcher hardpoint in addition to a high fitting slot. You can check out how many hardpoints a ship has in the fitting screen or the "Show Info" panel. Depending on the ship you're flying, you may not be able to fit all three of the weapons you've gained from the missions so far.
 +
* Although not strictly necessary for this mission, it is a good habit to [[insure]] your ship to recover most of the value of the ship's hull (but NOT any modules or cargo) should it be destroyed. Note, however, that repackaging the ship renders the insurance void, and therefore you will often have to manually fly it if you want to move the ship to another location without losing the insurance.
 +
* 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 clicking "group all weapons" button in the fitting screen or dragging the modules onto each other in space to stack them, allowing you to fire all your weapons with a single click or button press. Note that for weapon modules to be grouped, they need to be of the same type and carry the same type and number of ammunition.
 +
[[File:Ewar-npc-webbed.jpg|thumb|The electronic warfare (EWAR) display shows any hostile EWAR affecting your ship.]]
 +
* In the mission deadspace, you will encounter some Drone rats for the first time in this mission chain (you can identify them by their icon on the Overview, compared with the frigates and corvettes you have been fighting so far). 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 appear above your capacitor indicating that an enemy is webbing you; 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. They are named differently for each faction ({{icon|isis amarr|22|Amarr}}The Devout /{{icon|isis caldari|22|Caldari}}Tahamar /{{icon|isis gallente|22|Gallente}}Wolf /{{icon|isis minmatar|22|Minmatar}}Steon) and will serve as the primary antagonist throughout the rest of the mission chain.
 +
Even if you do manage to catch the destroyer rat, it has close to a million HP and is not worth destroying.
 +
* The Runner Drone contains the mission objective. Kill it, dock, and complete the mission. No need to loot any wrecks.

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. Note that your ship will start taking damage as you approach the stargate, but unless you stay in the vicinity for a long time you won't be in danger.

* Once you activate the acceleration gate at the mission location, it flings you to another pocket with a few frigate rats. Additional rats will warp in as you destroy them.
 +
* With all the rats gone, you can now activate the second acceleration gate that leads to the pirate outpost. The outpost itself goes down easily, but the moment it is fired upon two rats and two sentry guns (powerful immobile turrets) spawn. The frigates aren't a big threat, but the sentry guns will do significant damage to your ship if they hit you.
 +
* Once the outpost goes down, the mission is complete and you can warp back to the station ignoring the enemy reinforcements. Your ship's computer warned you against taking any loot from the container that drops when the outpost is destroyed, but you're free to take any as long as the game doesn't produce a warning message about illicit materials.
 +
* Should you wish to take on the sentry guns, make sure you orbit them in close range with your propulsion module on. These sentry guns have poor [[tracking]], and by flying around them at high speed you're maximizing your ship's [[Velocities#Angular Velocity|angular velocity]] and therefore making it difficult for the sentry guns to hit you.
 +
* If your ship has taken some armor/structure damage in the last fight, either right-click on a ship in the Ship Hangar and press "Get a Repair Quote" or click the Repairshop icon in the Station Services panel to repair it for a small fee.

* The Limited Ocular Filter is an [[Implant#Attribute_Enhancers|implant]] that you can "plug in" to your character's head (select the item, right-click, and choose 'plug-in') to increase their [[Skills_and_Learning#Attributes|Perception attribute]] by 1 point, which slightly increases your training speed for skills which use the Perception attribute. Note that should your [[pod]] be destroyed, any implants you have plugged in will be destroyed as well. You can view your plugged-in implants in your Character Sheet (click on your portrait in the upper left-hand corner), on the Character - Augmentations tab.

Once all the rats have been destroyed, activate the acceleration gate, which will fling your ship to a second deadspace pocket, containing the outpost structure you're meant to destroy. The outpost itself goes down easily, but the moment it is fired upon two rats and two sentry guns (powerful immobile turrets) spawn. The frigates aren't a big threat, but the sentry guns will do significant damage to your ship if they hit you, so make sure you're flying as fast as you can around them (turn on your afterburner!). These sentry guns have poor [[Gunnery_Guide#Tracking|tracking]], and by flying around them at high speed you're maximising your ship's [[Velocities#Angular_Velocity|angular velocity]] and therefore making it difficult for the sentry guns to hit you. If you find dealing with sentry guns difficult, you also have the option of ignoring them and warping back away to the station, as the mission objective is marked as complete as soon as the pirate outpost goes down. Your ship's computer will warn you against taking any loot from the container that drops when the outpost is destroyed, but it is unclear if it drops anything deemed illegal by each of the empire factions.

* Armor repairer and shield booster will gradually repair your ship's armor or shield respectively when activated at the cost of your ship's [[capacitor]] energy. Using modules like these to repair your armor or shield during a fight is called "active armor/shield tanking".
  
−
Return to your agent's station. Your ship has probably taken some armor damage in the last fight. If you have an Armor Repair module (note that you get one from the next mission) you can fit it to your ship and activate it the next time you're in space to repair your armor (your shields will regenerate on their own or after docking to a station). Alternatively, if you're docked at a station with a Repairshop, you can use it to repair your ship for a small ISK fee. Click on the Repairshop icon in the Station Services panel (right-hand side of the screen), select your ship, and click "Repair Item".  
+
* Destroy all rats and reinforcements at the mission's deadspace location and use your self-repair module as appropriate. Note that armor is repaired at the end of an armor repairer cycle while shield is boosted at the beginning of a shield booster cycle. Your capacitor probably doesn't recharge quickly enough for you to run your self repair module indefinitely, so turn it off when you don't need it.

Warp to the mission's deadspace location and start engaging the rats. There will be several waves of rats, so it's likely that your ship's armor will start taking damage. When it does, activate your armor repairer or shield booster and note how it repairs a chunk of your armor/shield. Note that armor is repaired at the end of an armor repairer cycle while shield is boosted at the beginning of a shield booster cycle.

To fight as effectively as possible, make sure to keep your ship within your weapons' optimal range of your current target (using the "Orbit" or "Keep at Range" commands). Additionally, keep your Shield Hardener running and keep your ship's speed up (with your afterburner) to make your ship as hard to hit as possible.

* This mission consists of three deadspace pockets, connected via acceleration gates. You have to destroy all the rats and reinforcements in each pocket to be able to use the acceleration gate there to enter the next pocket. These "deadspace complexes" (a series of deadspace areas connected by acceleration gates) are fairly common in higher-end PvE [[missions]]. Note that if you have to warp out of a pocket (e.g. because your ship is taking too much damage and you need to repair), you will have to go through each pocket sequentially to reach your previous location; however, the rats in those pockets will not respawn if destroyed.
 +
* The third (and final) pocket contains a Stasis Tower and three rats - two frigates and the Destroyer-class Stolen Navy Ship.
 +
** The Stasis Tower uses a Stasis Webifier to slow your ship down. The pirate leader you're here to kill is manning the Stasis Tower; once you destroy it, he ejects in his [[capsule]]. Destroying it completes the mission.
 +
** The Stolen Navy Ship does the most damage and should be the primary target to bring down as soon as possible. An afterburner and a stasis webifier will allow you to catch up to the ship while being webbed by the Stasis Tower. Once the navy ship goes down, the other frigates do not pose much of a threat.
 +
** Alternatively, you may also try bringing down the Stasis Tower while ignoring enemy fire. While dealing no damage on its own, the Stasis Tower is quite tanky, and you might need to warp out, repair, and come back to the pocket to successfully pull it off without losing your ship.
 +
** You can also experiment with different ammunition for your guns. All the [[turret]] weapons have a range of ammunition to choose from, ranging from short-range high-damage ammunition to long-range low-damage ammunition. You've probably been using the former, but you may want to buy some of the latter from the market (or use whatever you've looted from wrecks so far) and experiment with staying further away from the rats while hitting them with your longer-range ammunition.

Undock. Note that the Overdrive Injector System modules cannot be activated (unlike, say, your Shield Hardener) - they are so-called "passive modules", which provide their bonuses at all times and don't need to be activated (this also means that they use no capacitor energy).

This mission consists of three deadspace pockets, connected via acceleration gates. You have to destroy all the rats in each pocket to be able to use the acceleration gate there to enter the next pocket. These "deadspace complexes" (a series of deadspace areas connected by acceleration gates) are fairly common in higher-end PvE [[missions]].

−
* The first pocket contains six Corvette rats, and two more Frigate rats which warp in once you've destroyed the Corvettes.
 
−
* The second pocket contains four Frigate rats, and four more Frigates (in two groups) which warp in once the previous group has been destroyed.
 
−
* The third (and final) pocket contains a Stasis Tower and three Frigate rats. The Stasis Tower uses a Stasis Webifier to slow your ship down, making it take more damage from the rats. The pirate leader you're here to kill is manning the Stasis Tower; once you destroy it, he ejects in his [[pod|capsule]]. This is similar to what happens when a player's ship is destroyed, but unlike a player, the pirate leader doesn't immediately warp off in his capsule, giving you plenty of time to destroy it and complete the mission. His frozen corpse will then remain floating in space; unlike player corpses, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view on such things) you can't take it back with you. EVE can be a very dark game if you look too closely.

−
The combat in this mission is easily the most challenging yet. If you're having trouble, read up on [[Gunnery Guide|how gunnery works in EVE]].
 
−
* Keep an eye on your range to your enemies; try to keep it around your weapon's optimal and falloff range (for hybrid, laser, and projectile artillery weapons try to keep them at about your optimal range; projectile autocannon weapons have such short optimal ranges that it's best to keep them inside your falloff range).
 
−
* Also keep an eye on your enemies' angular velocity (you can select to have it shown as a column on the Overview): a high angular velocity makes them difficult to hit; slow them down using your Stasis Webifier module. Note that the farther away they are from you, the lower their angular velocity will be. Additionally, using the "Stay at Range" command (as opposed to the "Orbit" command) usually reduces an enemy's angular velocity (because you'll tend to be flying directly at or away from them, as opposed to around them), but, for the same reasons, it also makes your ship easier to hit. Experiment a little to see what works best for your ship and weapon.

You can also experiment with different ammunition for your guns. All the [[turrets|turret weapons]] have a range of ammunition to choose from, ranging from short-range high-damage ammunition to long-range low-damage ammunition. You've probably been using the former, but you may want to buy some of the latter from the market and experiment with staying further away from the rats (and therefore hopefully out of their weapons' range) and hitting them with your longer-range ammunition. Your Stasis Webifier will, once again, come in handy to ensure your ship is faster than theirs and can therefore dictate the range at which the fight occurs, to your advantage.

The Enforcer (used to be called the Military Career Agent) is one of the five career agents in the game, which show new players different types of PvE activities in EVE. The military career agent missions teach you about PvE combat. In total, these missions pay about 2M ISK in rewards.

Move your mouse over your weapon to show its characteristics.
Set your ship's default orbit distance.
  • You can use any ship, including your corvette, as long as it's armed with some weapons.
  • You can check your weapon's optimal and falloff ranges by hovering a mouse over it - 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 around your weapon's optimal range. 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".
Right-click in space to warp to the mission location.
Rats targeting and firing at your ship.
  • Once you arrive at the deadspace pocket, you will encounter several rats. After you have destroyed them, two more rats will appear further away. 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.
  • If there is a yellow box around the rat's icon in the Overview, it is targeting your ship. If the box turns red, it is taking offensive actions, such as firing weapons at you.
  • You can check a rat's description, bounty, and damage resistance profiles in its "Show Info" panel (available either from the Selected Item window or right-click menu).
  • When the mission is turned in, the agent grants you a faction-specific weapon along with ammunition as bonus rewards. The table below lists the faction-specific rewards given along with links to the detailed description of each weapon system. Note that weapons outside the Civilian variant require ammunition to operate.

Type Encounter
Objective Destroy rats and retrieve civilians.
Rewards Attack or combat frigate Amarr Executioner /Caldari Merlin /Gallente Atron /Minmatar Slasher)


  • Feel free to try out the new weapon module from the previous mission, noting that it requires ammunition. You load ammunition into your weapon by dragging it onto the fitted weapon on the Fitting screen (ALT + F) or right-clicking on the weapon in space and selecting which ammunition to load (which takes a few seconds). It's also a good idea to carry some spare ammunition in your ship's cargohold so that you can reload your weapon with fresh ammunition once it's empty (with the exception of T1 frequency crystals which do not run out).
  • While the mission text recommends you fit a Shield Booster or Armor Repairer module, it's not necessary.
  • When you destroy the last rat in the deadspace pocket, it will deposit the civilians into your cargo hold and the mission is complete. You can now dock.
Different wrecks on the overview.
  • 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. 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.
  • The frigate given out as a reward is ideal for completing the remaining missions in the chain due to its increased combat capabilities and speed compared to a corvette.

  • If you wish to fly the new frigate obtained from the last mission, don't forget to take useful modules from the ship you were flying previously to the new one. To unfit modules, 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".
  • A weapon occupies a turret/launcher hardpoint in addition to a high fitting slot. You can check out how many hardpoints a ship has in the fitting screen or the "Show Info" panel. Depending on the ship you're flying, you may not be able to fit all three of the weapons you've gained from the missions so far.
  • Although not strictly necessary for this mission, it is a good habit to insure your ship to recover most of the value of the ship's hull (but NOT any modules or cargo) should it be destroyed. Note, however, that repackaging the ship renders the insurance void, and therefore you will often have to manually fly it if you want to move the ship to another location without losing the insurance.
  • 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 clicking "group all weapons" button in the fitting screen or dragging the modules onto each other in space to stack them, allowing you to fire all your weapons with a single click or button press. Note that for weapon modules to be grouped, they need to be of the same type and carry the same type and number of ammunition.
The electronic warfare (EWAR) display shows any hostile EWAR affecting your ship.
  • In the mission deadspace, you will encounter some Drone rats for the first time in this mission chain (you can identify them by their icon on the Overview, compared with the frigates and corvettes you have been fighting so far). Some of these (the helpfully named Webber Drones) will use 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 appear above your capacitor indicating that an enemy is webbing you; 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. They are named differently for each faction (AmarrThe Devout /CaldariTahamar /GallenteWolf /MinmatarSteon) and will serve as the primary antagonist throughout the rest of the mission chain.

Even if you do manage to catch the destroyer rat, it has close to a million HP and is not worth destroying.

  • The Runner Drone contains the mission objective. Kill it, dock, and complete the mission. No need to loot any wrecks.

Type Travel
Objective Approach the Smuggler Stargate.
Rewards 1MN Afterburner I
Warp-in message from ship computer:
My sensors have found nothing in the area other than this lone stargate, partly hidden inside a cluster of rock formations. I would advise you to proceed with care, smuggler gates such as these are rarely left undefended.

Your agent instructed you to approach the stargate. Be ready to retreat should the need arise.

  • 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.
  • Once you've approached the stargate, a warning sound will play and you will take some damage. Once this happens, the mission is complete.
  • It is a good idea to keep flying past the objective before hitting the "DOCK" button. If you fly to the objective and stop, you can get stuck before you can enter warp and take more damage.
  • Damage will be inflicted on you every 10 seconds.

Type Encounter
Objective Destroy one rat while (optionally) trying out a shield hardener module.
Rewards Shield Hardener (AmarrCivilian EM Shield Hardener /CaldariCivilian Kinetic Shield Hardener /GallenteCivilian Thermal Shield Hardener / MinmatarCivilian Explosive Shield Hardener) (granted upon acceptance)


  • Shield hardeners will reduce the damage your ship's shield takes from a specific damage type, one of Electromagnetic-EM, Thermal, Kinetic, and Explosive.
  • 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. 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 shield's resistance to the four damage types, then activate your Shield Hardener module. Note how your shields' resistance to the module's damage type increases, and how this also increases your ship's effective hit points. NPCs (rats) in EVE 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.
  • Destroy the rat in the deadspace location and feel free to activate the shield hardener in combat.


Warp-in Message:
On killing the rat:
Nicely done. Perhaps we will meet some other day. For now I will be making my way back to base in my capsule.

Type Encounter
Objective Destroy a pirate outpost.
Rewards Limited Ocular Filter


  • Once you activate the acceleration gate at the mission location, it flings you to another pocket with a few frigate rats. Additional rats will warp in as you destroy them.
  • With all the rats gone, you can now activate the second acceleration gate that leads to the pirate outpost. The outpost itself goes down easily, but the moment it is fired upon two rats and two sentry guns (powerful immobile turrets) spawn. The frigates aren't a big threat, but the sentry guns will do significant damage to your ship if they hit you.
  • Once the outpost goes down, the mission is complete and you can warp back to the station ignoring the enemy reinforcements. Your ship's computer warned you against taking any loot from the container that drops when the outpost is destroyed, but you're free to take any as long as the game doesn't produce a warning message about illicit materials.
  • Should you wish to take on the sentry guns, make sure you orbit them in close range with your propulsion module on. These sentry guns have poor tracking, and by flying around them at high speed you're maximizing your ship's angular velocity and therefore making it difficult for the sentry guns to hit you.
  • If your ship has taken some armor/structure damage in the last fight, either right-click on a ship in the Ship Hangar and press "Get a Repair Quote" or click the Repairshop icon in the Station Services panel to repair it for a small fee.
  • The Limited Ocular Filter is an implant that you can "plug in" to your character's head (select the item, right-click, and choose 'plug-in') to increase their Perception attribute by 1 point, which slightly increases your training speed for skills which use the Perception attribute. Note that should your pod be destroyed, any implants you have plugged in will be destroyed as well. You can view your plugged-in implants in your Character Sheet (click on your portrait in the upper left-hand corner), on the Character - Augmentations tab.

Looks like you found the pirate outpost. Your instructions were to destroy it. I would recommend leaving the loot in the wreck after you obliterate the structure, you would not want to be caught trying to jump between systems with contraband in your cargo-hold. The local security forces do not look kindly upon such activity.

On warp-in there are no rats. Once attacking the (pirate name)'s outpost, reinforcements appears.

Objective Destroy rats while (optionally) trying out a self-repair module.
Rewards Self-repair module (AmarrGallenteMinmatarSmall Armor Repairer I /CaldariSmall Shield Booster I) (granted upon acceptance)


  • Armor repairer and shield booster will gradually repair your ship's armor or shield respectively when activated at the cost of your ship's capacitor energy. Using modules like these to repair your armor or shield during a fight is called "active armor/shield tanking".
  • Destroy all rats and reinforcements at the mission's deadspace location and use your self-repair module as appropriate. Note that armor is repaired at the end of an armor repairer cycle while shield is boosted at the beginning of a shield booster cycle. Your capacitor probably doesn't recharge quickly enough for you to run your self repair module indefinitely, so turn it off when you don't need it.

Type Encounter
Objective (Attempt to) retrieve VIPs.
Rewards 2 x Overdrive Injector System I


  • Warp to the mission's deadspace location and approach the "hotel" (as usual, check your Overview preset and settings if you can't see it - the inn is in the "Large Collidable Structure" category, and your overview must be set to display these). As you approach the structure, a bomb will go off, destroying the hotel and damaging your ship.
  • The mission is now complete and you can return to your agent. Alternatively, you can engage the ambushing rats for bounties and loot. This group of rats is a step up from the rats in the last mission, so feel free to warp out, repair, and re-engage as necessary.
  • Overdrive Injector System I increases your ship's speed at the expense of reduced cargohold capacity.


Message on warp-in:
I detect no life signs within the habitation module and the communication services in the adjacent security towers seems to be down. I suggest approaching Hotel Kim to have a better look. Its hull appears to be damaged, a cloud of radioactive gas is flowing through the cracks and filling the void surrounding the structure. The corpses floating around the Inn are most likely of people who were ejected through the airlock

Make sure you have Large Collidable Structure (under the Entity group) selected in the overview settings, so you can easily find the structure I pointed out.

Objective Destroy the Narcotics Warehouse.
Rewards Stasis Webifier I


  • At the mission location, you will find an acceleration gate guarded by three rats later joined by three more reinforcements, however you can ignore them and activate the acceleration gate immediately to fling your ship into the next deadspace area, where you will find the Narcotics Warehouse you're supposed to destroy.
  • You can also kill the three rats guarding the warehouse (as well as the three additional ones which warp in), but they are optional.
  • A Stasis Webifier slows down enemy ships when used, which makes it easier for your weapons to apply damage.

Objective Destroy the pirate leader's capsule.
Ship suggestion Attack or Combat Frigate from mission 2
Rewards Combat Frigate (Amarr Punisher /Caldari Merlin /Gallente Incursus /Minmatar Rifter) (Granted Upon Accepting)


  • This is one of the hardest missions among Career Agent missions, so feel free to fit everything you have: good weapons and ammo, afterburners, shield hardeners, self-repair modules, and stasis webifiers.
  • This mission consists of three deadspace pockets, connected via acceleration gates. You have to destroy all the rats and reinforcements in each pocket to be able to use the acceleration gate there to enter the next pocket. These "deadspace complexes" (a series of deadspace areas connected by acceleration gates) are fairly common in higher-end PvE missions. Note that if you have to warp out of a pocket (e.g. because your ship is taking too much damage and you need to repair), you will have to go through each pocket sequentially to reach your previous location; however, the rats in those pockets will not respawn if destroyed.
  • The third (and final) pocket contains a Stasis Tower and three rats - two frigates and the Destroyer-class Stolen Navy Ship.
    • The Stasis Tower uses a Stasis Webifier to slow your ship down. The pirate leader you're here to kill is manning the Stasis Tower; once you destroy it, he ejects in his capsule. Destroying it completes the mission.
    • The Stolen Navy Ship does the most damage and should be the primary target to bring down as soon as possible. An afterburner and a stasis webifier will allow you to catch up to the ship while being webbed by the Stasis Tower. Once the navy ship goes down, the other frigates do not pose much of a threat.
    • Alternatively, you may also try bringing down the Stasis Tower while ignoring enemy fire. While dealing no damage on its own, the Stasis Tower is quite tanky, and you might need to warp out, repair, and come back to the pocket to successfully pull it off without losing your ship.
    • You can also experiment with different ammunition for your guns. All the turret weapons have a range of ammunition to choose from, ranging from short-range high-damage ammunition to long-range low-damage ammunition. You've probably been using the former, but you may want to buy some of the latter from the market (or use whatever you've looted from wrecks so far) and experiment with staying further away from the rats while hitting them with your longer-range ammunition.
