I looked at the list, and for some reason, it seemed like there wern't very many cosmos agents on gallente faction. and almost none that i had the pre-reqs for. I may be looking at it wrong though.

What are COSMOS missions?

[Draegan]

I got all my learning skills except for the advanced ones due to price up to level 4. I havn't been playing to much, but I've been training the skills.

I've just finished the whole line of the tutorial mission line. I want to make cash. I want to get into my first cruiser but money is tight. Is missioning the easiest way to get some money? I want to get into the game a little bit faster, see some pvp.

Missioning and Salvaging the wrecks is the best way to make money I believe when your young.

Mist: COSMOS missions are special storyline-related missions that are specific to each faction(Amarr, Gallente, Minmatar, noobs). Each of these factions has a COSMOS constellation with the special agents that give the missions. You can only do each COSMOS mission once, and the faction requirements for them get pretty high. Most aren't too hard for a well-fitted, well-flown cruiser, and you should house any of them in a battleship. After you finish the missions, you'll still have keys to the complexes, and will be able to run them again for the COSMOS loot. Generally this will be in the form of BPCs that let you make a couple runs of some named mods(example: 'Meditation' Armor Repairers). They tend not to be as good as tech 2, but easier to fit. Bear in mind that there are also 0.0 COSMOS regions, which operate on the same principle.


Draegan: Early on, missioning is definitely the best money you'll make. PvP you typically do at a loss, and ratting is good but not at low skills and in empire/lowsec. There are also passive income methods like research and production, which I highly recommend, but not on your main character, as you say you're interested in PvP. The skills you need for that stuff aren't PvP skills. It sounds like you're on the right track, just don't get caught up in the idea that you need money money money to PvP. By the time you can afford a nice missioning cruiser(and a backup!), you'll probably notice that a decent little frigate is basically free compared to the money you have coming in, and you can go have a lot of fun and learn a lot in that. And if you die, so what? It was cheap!

Missioning is the way to go, together with Salvaging (make sure to check what skills you need first).
To find a good Agent go here (scroll to Step 5 and check the Agent you need/ want).
You will make several millions alone off the Salvage, adding rats bounty and misson payment... good stuff for new chars.

I thought this was neat. CCP is bringing in an economist to keep the economy in order.

Looks like CCP is sending out some e-mails to expired accounts offering 5 free days. I only wish they had sent me two so I could log in to both of my account

[Geaux]

heh i just used that march rejoin email that was expired according to the reply for my petition 2 weeks ago to get 3 months for the price of 2.

[Eomer]

Strange, one account got the 5 day offer, one didn't. Conveniently, that account should have just finished up training BS V.

[decairn]

Love the 5 day offer, got 2 billion ISK off an inactive char that I let lapse a while back

[Laek]

Is there a better support role in Eve yet? I'm talking something like a normal mmorpg healer type of support. I know drones are great for this but ship to ship wasn't so hot before. Most people relied on jamming to prevent damage but that seemed to have been nerfed so that I don't hear alot about it anymore.

[Mist]

Carriers have huge healing abilities. I think they're buffing logistics ships soon.

[Laek]

So I re-subbed and see that my main is no longer in the Goonswarm corp I once was. Problem is I logged of inside the bubble in a nicely fitted Raven. Am I gonna be kissing the ship good-bye? I'm also deep in Goon space and in an npc corp so it might not even matter.

edit: Well nothing happens when the array is no longer there.
