Hi All,
I've been playing a few days now on my trial account. Finished the tutorials and am now running missions for the agents I have access to. I think I can like this game, but starting out on some of these missions has been frustrating.
I do have a couple of questions. I have been flying out of Amarr bases; Chaven VIII, Amarr VIII and Deparri II.
My questions:
1) Is there a navigation tutorial? I see at the upper left that are some route setting controls. However, it is not clear to me how to use these. I want to get back to Chaven but am not sure how to set a course for that. I understand that it's a couple of jumps away. Do I just jump through a Stargate. Will it be clear where I am supposed to go from there? The actual mechanics are unclear to me as a newb.
2) If I buy something at a market in another station, Is it automatically stored for me in the hangar at that station? Do I have to jump to that market to pick it up? If I buy a skillbook at different market, do I have to fly to that market to train the skill?
3) On one of the missions, I was supposed to track a blood raider and destroy him. However, when I got there I was jumped by a bunch of Blood Raiders and turned into a deer in the headlights. I could not hit anything and watched my ship get ripped apart. I was then in my pod. It took a couple of minutes to re-orient myself. I finally limped back to base.
Is this what is referred to as being "podded"? Can I be shot at when I'm in that pod? or, is it like a safe zone?
Can I continue with tha mission, even though I have lost a ship? The mission still seems to be active, I did not quit it because the prompts imply that I will not get more missions from the agent. Is it just a matter of getting another ship, unlocking and going back out to the coordinates to try and complete the mission.
4) Are all of these bases I have been to in HighSec? Is that what the green numbers like .9 mean? I think I'm going to subscribe, when I do, do I get kicked out of these bases, or can I continue to run missions from them.
Thanks in advance for the help. Any other advice would be welcomed. Sorry for all the noob questions. |
