What does the markets say? Is there now where it sells better? What did u buy them for, each. If u spent 9.7mil and there are 9. Must have been just over a mil each. And they sell for only 100k? Wow.

If i could sell them at at least 500k i'd be happy... I'm too lazy to travel 10systems for a couple mil profit though

So how do the mission levels work?

So how do the mission levels work?

Its the difficulty scale so to speak...

Agent level and quality level

Agents have 2 important attributes, called level and quality level. This leads to some confusion and this article attempts to clear up some of it.

Agent level

The level of an agent basically determines how hard the missions you get from it will be. Level 1 agents randomly select missions from a pool of missions that are a lot easier than level 2 missions.

You can complete level 1 missions in a well-fitted frigate. Most level 2 kill missions can be completed in a destroyer or a cruiser for the hard ones. You will need an Assault Frigate (AF) or a Battlecruiser (BC) for level 3 kill missions, possibly even a Battleship for the hard ones. And level 4 missions are hard to fly solo, even when piloting a Battleship (BS) or a Heavy Assault Cruiser (HAC).

Almost all level 2 missions will pay better than level 1 missions, but they're harder. Same from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. Level 5 agents are not available.

Agent Quality Level

Every agent has a base quality, ranging from -20 to +20, which is listed in its info (base quality is also the quality listed in databases like EVE Explorerleaving this site). What's important however is the effective quality:

Effective Quality = Base Quality + (5 * Level of Negotiation) + Effective Standing

Effective quality (EQ) determines from what end of the mission pool the agent will select missions. The high the EQ, the shorter the trips will be for couriers and the closer the kill targets will be. Also, it seems to improve the chances of the agent offering the harder and more rewarding missions.

Note: this actually means that a higher quality agent may offer you harder, instead of easier, missions. The better rewarding missions are often the harder ones.

Effective quality also directly affects the reward and your standing gain with the agent and their corporation, for every mission.

Now it makes more sense.

Indeed, guess its a good thing, I've started level2s from an agent with -17 standing

 

[OmegaFenix]

Ouch. Trail by fire huh?

There's only so much research you can do Eventually you end up doing other things I know of people with PC's in their kitchens etc. so that they can cook and keep an eye on their ships xD

I'm only at 2.6mil sp atm

Theres ALOT of research still needed to be done on my side - how to improve my dps, passive tanking/active tanking (shield or armor), running level 2s,3s and 4s solo (eventually ) and where I should put skills next

/sigh at Battleclinic being down

 

[OmegaFenix]

I have another noob question. Does you skill carry on training when the server goes offline?

And what is tanking. First time mmo player here.
