Mission-running guides

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Hi, folks. I've been piddling around in Eve while I'm moving and don't have my multiboxing stuff setup. I'm enjoying running missions so far and am up to a Caracal missile boat doing the (I presume?) level 1 epic mission arc. Any links you would suggest for skill training, equipment suggestions, etc.? I haven't found any easily-navigated guides to mission running as a lot of the acronyms people use might as well be greek to me. I'm a complete noob in Eve inasmuch as I wouldn't know the difference between an "active tank" and a CNR if it hit me in the head. Some of it I'm figuring out but I'm suffering acronym overload something fierce.

I'm currently setup with:
Caracal
5x assault missile launchers (3x Flameburst + 2x Piranha)
2x Lg. Shield Extender I
2x Invuln. Field I
2x BCS I

So far, it's doing well in the level 1 stuff but I figure I might as well start learning the differences and recommended tracks/setups now while things are easy. I'm up to about 3.5mil ISK so I've got some cash to change things around if it'll help.

Cheers,
Ugh
