Missions: Difference between revisions

Line 239:

The universe of EVE is a dangerous place, and encounter missions are not exceptions. The unprepared and unwary can lose their ships unnecessarily. (Most mining missions are not heavily combat-oriented, though there are a couple of mining missions where a mining barge absolutely should not go in first.) The first thing to know, as always, is to never fly what you cannot afford to lose.

The second thing to know is the mission you are being offered. Always understand exactly what you will encounter in a mission before you accept it; if you accept a mission without understanding it, and it turns out to be too difficult, then your only options are to get help from other players (who may or may not be trustworthy) or to quit the mission. You might lose your ship in the process of discovering that the mission is too difficult for you. A great ~~in-game browser (igb)~~ link ~~to add in~~ for missions is [http://eve-survival.org/missions Eve Survival]. Most (if not all) regular and storyline missions are documented there, and you can read the details of what you need to do in the mission before you accept the mission, including (most importantly) details that the agent does not tell you up front.
