If you're planning to run missions to gain loot, or to pile up loyalty points to buy things, or to increase your standing with a faction, then you may want to lay out a plan to help you run missions with a minimum of down time.

The last thing you want is to be running missions in the middle of a contested low sec region where combatants will shoot at you, or in systems that lie on a busy trade route where pirates will gank you. Use the map and look for a group of fairly high security systems set off from the major trade routes. It's also nice to have multiple star gates, just in case you have to flee at some point. | The last thing you want is to be running missions in the middle of a contested low sec region where combatants will shoot at you, or in systems that lie on a busy trade route where pirates will gank you.

Once you have a corporation in mind, use the Agent Finder to narrow your choices of star system. Keep in mind that when you finish running level 1, you will almost certainly have to move to a new system to find a level 2 agent, and again for level 3. So try to find a group of 1-2-3 agents that are fairly close together. | Once you have a corporation in mind, use the Agent Finder to narrow your choices of star system.

In this example note that the box at the bottom left of the window is UNchecked - because you want to see all agents, not just ones that you can currently talk to. There are many level 1 agents, fewer level 2 and even fewer level 3. But it turns out that there are level 1 AND level 3 agents in Jufvitte. This is convenient. Even better, there is a level 2 agent in Gisleres - only | In this example note that the box at the bottom left of the window is UNchecked - because you want to see all agents, not just ones that you can currently talk to.

Even better, there is a level 2 agent in Gisleres - only two jumps from Jufvitte. This means that you can run the first three levels of missions at Roden Shipyards from a station in this area. | ||
