=== Career Agents ===

~~The next step in learning to play EVE (after~~ the tutorial~~) is to visit~~ the career agents and do the missions they offer ~~to you, which expand on what you've learned in the tutorial and~~ introduce you to some of the main [[PvE]] activities in EVE Online. ~~The~~ agents ~~are not exclusive~~, ~~and you can do as many~~ of the ~~agents' missions as you want~~. ~~It's highly recommended that you do as many of them as interest you~~, ~~as they not only explain many more~~ game ~~mechanics~~, ~~but also offer some good rewards for new players~~.

After the tutorial, you can learn more about EVE by visiting the career agents and doing the missions they offer. Their missions introduce you to some of the main [[PvE]] activities in EVE Online. Keep in mind that Career agents offer little training in [[PvP]], which makes up a substantial part of the game. Additionally, EVE is a sandbox game, and much of its attraction is forging your own path as opposed to following a pre-set path.

However, keep in mind that they offer little training in [[PvP]], which makes up a very substantial part of the game. Additionally, EVE is a sandbox game, and much of the attraction of the game is forging your own path as opposed to following a pre-set path.

If you followed the tutorial, you will have flown to the station housing the nearest career agents. If you skipped the tutorial, you can [[Career_Agents#Finding_the_Career_Agents|locate the closest set of career agents]] (there are three sets of agents per faction, but they all offer the same missions).

~~There are five career agents, each offering between 5 and 10 missions in a certain area:~~

* Industrialist - Producer

* Industrialist - Entrepreneur

* Explorer

* Enforcer

* Soldier of Fortune

If you~~'ve~~ followed the tutorial, you will have flown to the station housing the nearest career agents~~; all five agents are always located in the same station~~. If you skipped the tutorial, you can locate the closest set of career agents (there are three sets of agents per faction, but they all offer the same missions):

~~# Open the Help menu in-game ({{button|F12}}, or click on the "?" icon in your NeoCom)~~

~~# Look for the section called "Career Advancement" on the Support tab.~~

~~# Click on the button "Show Career Agents". This will open another window that will present you with the 5 closest Career agents to your current location.~~

~~# At the bottom right there will be a button labelled "Set Destination". Click it to plot a route to follow to get to the system and station where that agent is at~~.

You can do the agents in any order you like (although you should do the Explorer agent before you do the Soldier of Fortune one).
