There are differing opinions on how to pick a good base station. I tend to put mine in a place where it's easy to buy ammo and ship equipment. This makes for minimum hassle if I need to upgrade equipment (because I've gained new skills), or fit out a new ship (because I've gone up a level). But the location is not terribly important ... if you're not sure what to do, just get and Agent and get going. The rest will work itself out as you proceed. | There are differing opinions on how to pick a good base station. I tend to put mine in a place where it's easy to buy ammo and ship equipment.

== Using Loyalty Points == | |||
New missioneers often forget about the Loyalty points that they gain whilst running missions. These points (in addition to a small amount of ISK) can be exchanged for valuable items in the Loyalty Points store of the Corporation that you've completed the missions for. Very often, it is more profitable to run missions as quickly as possible to accumulate as many Loyalty Points as possible in order to exchange them for goods which can then be sold than it is to kill, loot and salvage every rat in each mission. Completely clearing missions in that manner takes a relatively long time, whereas simply completing the Objectives required to complete the mission and gain the Loyalty Points reward can often be done in a much shorter amount of time, allowing you to complete more Missions in the time you would ordinarily spend Looting and Salvaging. This method also has the advantage of shortening the amount of time it takes to achieve the Standings required to run higher level Missions, which are correspondingly more profitable in Loyalty Points terms as well. You can review your Loyalty Points in-game in the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] > JOURNAL button > AGENTS tab > LOYALTY POINTS subtab. | |||
==Finding an agent== | |||
You can click the "Agent Finder" button on the Neocon to open a tool for locating agents. You can open this same tool from the 'Agents' tab in 'People & Places' or by clicking the "Agent finder" button when docked. | |||

If you looted all the wrecks you'll have a bunch of items that you can sell or reprocess. Depending on the item, it can be more profitable to sell than reprocess or vice versa. | If you looted all the wrecks you'll have a bunch of items that you can sell or reprocess.
