*If your standing with one race is low, you can help regain them by doing missions with their friendly races ie: the Gallente like the Minmatar, so if you do storyline missions for the Minmatar, your Gallente standings will go up. This is because of "Derived Modification". | *If your standing with one race is low, you can help regain them by doing missions with their friendly races ie: the Gallente like the Minmatar, so if you do storyline missions for the Minmatar, your Gallente standings will go up.

*When you start getting +2 implants, don't put them in over your +1's, thus destroying them. Get a Jump Clone and put the +2's into that instead (and so on with +3's etc) This way, if you want to try your hand at pvp or something, and dont want to risk your +3 implants, you can take a lower or non-implanted JC: doesn't matter too much if it gets killed but you make use of the lower implants until it does :) | *When you start getting +2 (and above!) implants, don't put them in over your +1's, thus destroying them.

*When you want to start grinding your standings with a corp, research which is the best corp for YOU as they have different benefits and missions. Don't just pick the first one somebody suggests or the most popular, or the closest one! See what kind of missions they give out: are these the ones you enjoy? If you're a fighter pilot, you aren't going to be very happy mining all day!! Check out if they give access to epic arcs, higher level agents, items or ships you want from their LP store... put some time and thought into it and you won't regret it later! | *When you want to start grinding your standings with a particular corp, research which is the best corp for YOU as they have different benefits and missions.

*Remember that it is your ammunition (including frequency crystals and missiles) that decides the type of damage your weapons deal. | |||
- Lasers can do EM damage, Thermal damage or a combination of both. | |||
- Projectile weapons can do EM damage, Explosive damage, Kinetic damage, Thermal damage or a combination of these. | |||
- Hybrid weapons can do Kinetic damage, Thermal damage or a combination of both. | |||
- Missile launchers can do Thermal damage, EM damage, Kinetic damage and Explosive damage. | |||
Make a note of it in your notepad or somewhere and refer to it until you learn it! Together with knowing the types of damage each enemy is weak to, using the right ammo makes a big difference to how easy or hard your missions are! | |||
