New to Mission Running? How to Set Up a Plan for Station Missions

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. Here are some suggestions:

1. PICK AN AREA IN WHICH TO WORK
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.

2. KNOW WHAT YOU NEED; AND CHECK OUT WHAT THE VARIOUS AGENTS OFFER.
Successful mission runs give you ISK (and Security missions can give you loot). They also give you standing with the agent that gave you the mission, the agent's corporation, and the agent's faction. And, they give you loyalty points that can be redeemed for items in the corporation's store. For example, Roden Shipyards' agent missions give standings with the agent, the corporation and the Gallente Federation. And each mission gives loyalty points that can only be used in Roden's stores. (The stores for a particular corporation are identical in every station that has one.)

Most corporation stores sell the same sets of augmentation implants. However, different corporations offer different sets of skill upgrade implants, and different factions offer different weapons and ammunition. Roden Shipyards, for example, sells warp drive and astrometric skill upgrades, while Astral Mining offers mining upgrades. Weapons and ammunition offers correspond to the faction's spaceship preferences - Minmitar offer projectile weapons and ammo, while Ammar offer laser weapons and crystals, and so on.

3. PICK A CORPORATION WITH AGENTS IN THE REGION
Nearly every station has at least one agent, and there are many duplications in terms of standings and items offered for sale. So if you want to improve your standing with the Gallente, for example, and you want to buy some mining skill upgrades, then Astral Mining is one of the corporations you would want to consider. Since there are many Astral agents in Gallente space, choosing this corporation will not restrict your choice of star systems all that much.

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.

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 in looking at the levels it turns out that there are level 1 and level 3 agents in
