Mission-running guides

[lordmythic]

I ran two eve accounts before I ragequit.. 1 toon with 30+ million skill points ran my Marauder DPS/scavenger and another toon who only had maybe 5 million sp (1month or so of training) flew my tech2 Drake tank. I had more fun playing the tank just sitting there soaking everything. Here are the fittings I used and where I got the setup from. As it says below, I ran Lvl4 missions easily but obviously couldn't DPS for crap hence the Marauder. If you can train up your toon using evemon to fly the Drake below you can do most missions, albeit slowly, and really make money.

FYI I used to make 50million profit just buying CNR's (Caldari Navy Raven) at a major trade hub and flying it elsewhere for resale. I actually ended up selling (Legal for Eve's TOS) one my first toons for 6.x Billion isk ingame.

Yeah, it's EXPENSIVE. But, it works like a hot damn. I ran L4s in it for over a year.

No booster, just straight natural regeneration. The ship has 16000 shield points, and has a regen time of 408 seconds. The peak regen rate is almost precisely 100 points per second with absolutely no input. Combined with the Drake's natural resists plus the hardeners, I could quite literally go make coffee while there were a dozen battleship rats trying to kill me.

The rpgnet link above is a forum I frequent. The rpgnet folks have guilds on the wow rp server Kirin tor but they also have a corp in Eve called VGO ..just go to the rpgnet chat channel and ask around.. They are very helpful to new folks and you don't have to join the corp.
