Interesting Fact

[Souca]

If you kill something in one shot, you don't get to hear the turret firing sound.

Been doing missions to get my faction standing up so I can drop a POS in 0.5 space. Mostly level 1s and 2s since I don't have the patience for level 3s yet. I am pretty close to where I need to be rep wise, was 3.94, at 4.14 from doing one storyline mission, so I've been bottom feeding for a bit. Sure there is a better way, but I like taking a Megathron with 425mm rails x 7 and alpha striking frigates at 110km. Looting sucks though.

Oh, and social skills will raise your standing, but not your corps. Since my mission character is the only character with Gallente faction, when he bumped to 4.14 the corp bumped the next downtime. It didn't get his skill bonus though :(

Any, just thought I'd share.

Missiles are fun, they make a wooshy sound and a big bang. I sometimes fire them in staggered launches just to get more woosh-bang.

Also re looting dude: you're a multiboxer - have a spare looting and salvage toon standing by in a destroyer (4x tractors, 4x salvagers, +MWD = fast looting) - your main can go hand in the mission in the meantime and get the next one

Once a mission is handed in the 'instance' despawns but the wrecks are left behind - so you can use a MWD even in deapsapce missions - just remember to bookmark them

Trainign for destroyer salvaging is three days tops.

Also re looting dude: you're a multiboxerIt's not having a character to do it that's the pain. It's doing it. It just annoys the crap outta me. Even with a Catalyst with 4 tractor beams, 4 salvagers, Hull Conversion 2 and AB/MWD I wanna kill someone after looting 10 wrecks.

I gotta agree with you, looting is crap, and salvaging is worse.

I settled on 4 characters. My current plan is to put 1 character in a vulture and the other 3 in golems and then try to dominate l4 / l5 missions... thats a long ways off though (in both ISK and skills). At any rate, im hoping that looting will suck less since ill have 3 characters that are able to loot / salvage without diminishing their dps potential.
