The [[AIR Career Program|AIR Career Programme]] is divided into four [[Career Agents|Careers]]: [[Enforcer]], [[Explorer]], [[Industrialist (Entrepreneur)|Industrialist]] and [[Soldier of Fortune]].

* Faction Standing Boost through the Career Agents and the Sisters of EVE Epic Arc - if you don't know which one to choose - Caldari standing helps reduce [[Tax#Broker_fee|Broker Fees]] in Jita - that's always nice to have.

* The AIR Career Programme also serves as a reminder of the beautiful complexity of EVE Online and how many things new players can and should experience.

For newer players, it is a great '''catch-up mechanics''' and introduces you to many more ~~factettes~~ of the game than the Career Agents. It will surely help you figure out which activities you like to focus on.

{{Note box|Note/History: You can do the the AIR Career Programme on all three characters per account. However, the Skill Points will be automatically redeemed to the character completing the programme. In the past the SP would end up in the redeem queue, leading to the ability to re-roll characters and continuously redeem Air Career Programme SP to a single character. This is no longer possible.}}

To wrap up the 750 Career Points needed, use the [https://www.eveworkbench.com/fitting/sunesis/baf43029-5c38-4b7e-395f-08da5b879768 AIR Sunesis] or any other DPS ship you used so far to run Security Missions. You can speed up the Soldier of Fortune career {{Co|lightblue|[Combat]}} section by using a different ship type for running Security Missions than what you used up to now. I.e. If you used a Destroyer, now use a Frigate or Cruiser to run the missions and kill 75 ships.

Run Security Missions until enough tasks in sections {{Co|lightblue|[Loyalty Points]}}, {{Co|lightblue|[Combat]}}, {{Co|lightblue|[Bounties]}} are completed. Once you get 350 Loyalty Points with a corporation, spend them to wrap up {{Co|lightblue|[Loyalty points]}}.

Once you get 350 Loyalty Points with a corporation, spend them at the respective Loyalty Shop in a station where you ran the missions to wrap up {{Co|lightblue|[Loyalty points]}}.

Skip: {{Co|lightblue|[Abyssal Deadspace]}}. While it's viable, low-level Abyssals do not contribute to {{Co|lightblue|[Loyalty]}} points, don't give {{Co|lightblue|[Bounties]}} and have generally very few ships, making {{Co|lightblue|[Combat]}} take much longer.

{{Co|lightblue|[Social]}} You should have completed most tasks here. I skipped the {{Co|lightblue|[Join Corporation]}} task here, as you can easily complete the Soldier of Fortune career without it.

{{Co|lightblue|[Duels]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[PvP]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Destruction]}} The quickest way to get those done is to have a friend/Alt and use either the Trade hub bookmark from earlier, or kill ~~yourself~~ right outside the station:

{{Co|lightblue|[Duels]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[PvP]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Destruction]}} The quickest way to get those done is to have a friend/Alt and use either the Trade hub bookmark from earlier, or kill each others' ships repeatedly right outside the station:

* Get in a Shuttle and warp to your friend/Alt who sits in a DPS ship like the AIR Sunesis.

* Start a Duel and get yourself blown up until you died 20 times to get {{Co|lightblue|[Destruction]}} completed for you.

Line 193:

{{Co|lightblue|[Project Discovery]}} This should be done while travelling, waiting for scans etc. Failed attempts count.

{{Co|lightblue|[Gas Sites]}} and {{Co|lightblue|[Combat Sites]}} should be completed right after the career agents. If not done yet, go back to a Career Agent System at the end of the Exploration section.

{{Co|lightblue|[Scanning]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Wormholes]}} & [Navigation] & {{Co|lightblue|[Advanced Navigation]}} Get in a T1 scanning ship or switch to your Core Probe Launcher on your AIR Sunesis.

{{Co|lightblue|[Scanning]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Wormholes]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Navigation]}} & {{Co|lightblue|[Advanced Navigation]}} Get in a T1 scanning ship or switch to your Core Probe Launcher on your AIR Sunesis.

Find any Wormhole and repeatedly scan it down till you have all your {{Co|lightblue|[Scanning]}} and {{Co|lightblue|[Wormholes]}} tasks complete (logging off and on again will allow you to scan the same signature(s)).

If you feel comfortable with WHs/Low/Null, you can probably find plenty of Data/Relic sites to finish a task in {{Co|lightblue|[Advanced Hacking]}} as well.

'''Skip:''' No task is really skipped here, with the caveat that {{Co|lightblue|[Advanced Hacking]}} isn't necessary to complete ~~and will take more time if you multibox~~.
