Yep the missions are all the same but each level you go up the same missions have different ships in them. Level 4 missions are money earners and increase your security/standings better than the rest and are also incredibly boring. Use missions to get money and standings then join a PvP corp as that's where the fun lies!

This. PVP is where all the fun lies..

I prefer doing exploration for my isk, cannot stand doing missions any more. I get less ISK from it but I don't end up wanting to kill myself after an hour

Mids: Sensor Booster II x2 (Optimal Range loadout and scan res), Tracking

You get better range and scan res using two unscripted SBs than you do with one of each script loaded, FYI. Obviously carry both sets of scripts for when the situation dictates.

My corp got our first T3 last night...someones Tengu went pop!

First of many I hope as they become more popular

 

[starfighter]

My carrier went pop today. A corp mate was attacking a POS in his Dread alone when he got Scramed.. I kind of new it might be hopeless but I tried to save him in my carrier.

Took a lot of damage and did a lot also but lost in the end.

Im guessing due to missiles slow nature, they would be useless for such a role?

Yup, though missile boats do still make good fleet ships in an anti-support role.

 

[Feek]

It's not pretty.

 

[Dazzy_G]

Lots of T3 going pop in the Alliance Tourny

Can someone recommend a fitting for my Punisher?, I only started a few days ago so I don't have the necessary skill levels or money to get tech II things yet. I'm just going to be doing missions for now.

 

[VeNT]

small lasers
AB/web/scram(or whatever you can fit)
armour tank or just speed mods

Don't fly amarr and haven't missioned for years but something like this ought to work. Swap the Adaptive Nano Membranes for rat-specific hardeners depending on damage types. Probably worth skilling up for a destroyer to do level 1/2 missions faster.

How do most people make ISK? I managed to get my sec rating above 0 for the first time in ages and it took so long that I can't face doing another one!!

I have about 600mil left after randomly coming across a Hulk wreck with a guy sitting in his pod next to it AFK. The wreck had an ORE strip miner which sold for 185mil on the market! Not bad for a few seconds work!

Didnt know how much they were worth, so was about to put it on for around 10mil mark but so glad I checked contracts in the local area first and realised just what I had found!

Indeed, Always a damage ctrl before EANM, and deffinetly a damage control before 2 EANMS.

I realise this is a frigate but you are kind of mixing buffer and active tank with trimarks and the rep. I would go with CCC rigs if there isn't enough juice or aux nano pump/nano injector to increase rep amount/speed.

 

[Spokwiththeears]

Thanks a bunch to VeNT, King,Wizard and Starfighter. I'll have to work on getting the skills and money needed for those Small Trimark Armor Pumps, I think I've got enough for the rest of the fitting.

Ratting, plexing, mining, making stuff. I think in the last week i have made arround 100 million. And that isnt really trying

60 million mining
15 million from making stuff and selling it
25 million ratting. (like 1 hours worth )

You can easly make 50 million per night ratting in a good 0.0 system

Depends really... for PvP a DCU is always the first thing I fit (<3 gallente structure tanks), but for missioning you might be better of strengthening your actively tanked resists. Willing to be wrong though, don't really know anything except pewpew.

I used to rat all my isk, but cant really face it anymore after getting enough for cap skills and a moros inside a week. Since then I spent about 2 weeks training a nooby market alt, bunged him 1b startup, put him in a reasonably quiet region and just spend about 15 mins a day checking orders. Gives slow and steady isk, nothing amazing but I've not had to rat since.
