Skith Knoth	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:00:00 - [1] There's only like 5 combat missions or what? How long does it take to get faction? When will i get level 2 missions? Truthfully i just wanna kill stuff. I'll pass on anything and everything else. I'm not playing the game to mine and do any other sort of activity except kill. Been 2 weeks now and i been doing mining, courier, combat etc missions. Do i have to do 200 missions to get enough rep for level 2 missions or what. God i'm so bored of theese same 5 combat missions. Help me out here. Help me get rep or whatever it takes to get me more/different combat missions. Got a frigate, cruiser and a destroyer and i'm not about to complete the Worlds collide mission a 3rd time in a Merlin. It's pathetically easy and i'm frustratingly bored. Help as in the word HEEEEELP!! lol thanks for replies if i get some useful ones. Ya i know it's been answered 5,000 times in the past but i'll be ****ed if i can find it after 2 hours of looking. :)
Elliot Reid Gallente Digital Fury Corporation	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:05:00 - [2] You have checked the npc corp's agents info to see if you have access to level 2 missions? You don't get sent to a new agent, you have to see if you have access. If this isn't the case then please feel free to ignore me
argme	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:16:00 - [3] Yes i have. My rep is too low. In fact some level 1 agents still won't talk to me. Not like i want to talk to them anyways. I checked and a lot have quality -17 or some such. Basically i need to know how to get rep. Also if there's only say 5 different combat missions per level then why should i even extend my account. I'm friggin bored and there just must be more to this game by default. I can't for a minute believe eve has only 5 combat missions. Or am i wrong with that assumption?
Kumu Honua	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:33:00 - [4] You can train the connection skills. Each level gives you 0.4 standing with an agent. Most level 2 agents need 1.0 standing, so level 3 in connections will get you instant access. (To lower level agents) for the most part. However, if your problem is that you are tired of the same 5 missions over and over. You are in for a surprise when you start the level 2 agent and find out that you are doing the same 5 missions, with tiny additions/changes with a couple new ones....
Skith Knoth	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:53:00 - [5] omg i may as well cancel my subcription then. WTF would the game designers only have 5 variations of the same combat missions.
Kharakan Amarr GREY COUNCIL Breidablik	Posted - 2006.11.12 20:58:00 - [6] Try something other than missions =P I can put in a good word for piracy. Originally by: Joshua Foiritain (to Dark Shikari) HAHAHA I KNOW YOUR ACCOUUNT NAME TIME TO DIE this signature space is claimed in the name of eris, haha I got to him first. neeneer
Gornax Garrul Minmatar	Posted - 2006.11.12 21:25:00 - [7] You might look around for other corps' agents. There is probably one or two corps you have enough standing for a higher quality agent. It sounds like you just grabbed the first agent you could do missions for. GG ** People like you make me want to access your brain and type "rm -rf /*"
Kumu Honua	Posted - 2006.11.12 21:34:00 - [8] Originally by: Skith Knoth omg i may as well cancel my subcription then. WTF would the game designers only have 5 variations of the same combat missions. Missions are also rather new for eve. Give it time and there might be more missions, but yeah. It gets really repetitive really quickly right now.
Sandeep Trojan industries	Posted - 2006.11.12 22:17:00 - [9] Here are a list of things that you should do to find targets more challenging: for killing NPC: [ ] Picked Navy corp [ ] Picked combat agent (e.g. Command, Security, Surveillance) [ ] Trained Connections [ ] Did a non-tutorial storyline mission [ ] Cleared both sides of Worlds Collide without warping out [ ] Completed a higher-rated complex without warping out [ ] Completed a COSMOS mission [ ] Completed a higher-rated mission or complex as a team [ ] Cleared belt rats in 0.3 [ ] Cleared belt rats in 0.0 (higher-rated = difficulty rating above your current ship class) for PVP: [ ] Went to empire low sec [ ] Evaded, engaged, or participated in a gate camp [ ] Went to 0.0 [ ] Joined a pvp corp
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.11.12 23:23:00 - [10] With Connections 3 you automatically get level 2s... don't even need to do level 1s. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
Oriella Trikassi Trikassi Enterprises	Posted - 2006.11.12 23:33:00 - [11] Originally by: Skith Knoth Truthfully i just wanna kill stuff. I'll pass on anything and everything else. I'm not playing the game to mine and do any other sort of activity except kill. You're in the wrong game then :-) Combat Missions, killing NPCs, are the only thing most players do in some MMORPGs and are a large part of others, but that is not the case in Eve. Most combat is PvP, and unlike most MMORPGs it can happen anywhere, there are no 'non-combat' areas. That is not to say everyone is a combat PvPer in Eve, there is economic competition as well. Combat missions were in the game from the start, but are there for training, for systems and weapon testing, for earning ISK from looting, for improving standings with NPC Corps and factions. They have been improved, but they remain a minor part of Eve. --- Trikassi Enterprises, oiling the jumpgates of commerce since 2004
Caleb Paine ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.11.12 23:39:00 - [12] Some people give some odd advise... EVE is not about NPC encounters, those really are badly done and very simplistic. EVE is about player vs. player encounters in many different ways. You don't HAVE to do missions, or HAVE to mine, in fact you don't HAVE to do anything. Everything in EVE has the possiblity of making money and a lot of those don't have SP or ship requirements at all. You just have to see the opportinity and be smart about it. If you really want to do missions then yes, train up the connections skill, but understand that for lvl 2 missions you'll need a cruiser. Also, keep to 1 agent corporation. Jumping around doing missions for several different ones isn't helping you get that standing up. -------------------------------- ISS Navy Task Force; Protecting your interest.
Skith Knoth	Posted - 2006.11.12 23:50:00 - [13] I have a very well decked out cruiser for level 2 missions if i ever get any :) Here are a list of things that you should do to find targets more challenging: for killing NPC: [X] Picked Navy corp [X] Picked combat agent (e.g. Command, Security, Surveillance) [ ] Trained Connections [X] Did a non-tutorial storyline mission [X] Cleared both sides of Worlds Collide without warping out [not sure] Completed a higher-rated complex without warping out [er cosmos?] Completed a COSMOS mission [ ] Completed a higher-rated mission or complex as a team [ ] Cleared belt rats in 0.3 [ ] Cleared belt rats in 0.0 (higher-rated = difficulty rating above your current ship class) for PVP: [ ] Went to empire low sec [ ] Evaded, engaged, or participated in a gate camp [ ] Went to 0.0 [ ] Joined a pvp corp It really sounds like i need to become a pirate for me to enjoy the game. But i don't like ****ing people off or taking advantage of people. Hoping there's alternatives. So it's a tough decision. Thanks for the train connections idea. I missed that one.
Fswd	Posted - 2006.11.13 00:00:00 - [14] You don't have to go YARR to have fun in EVE. Even some mining corps ask for combatguys to protect while mining, and that sometimes include protecting against 0.0 battleships
Guile D'Verde Caldari The Crescent Order	Posted - 2006.11.13 00:09:00 - [15] Speaking of giving odd advice... Firstly, there are a lot more than five combat missions. Check out www.eveinfo.com and you'll see what I mean. Secondly, it sounds like you're working for a division that gives a mix of different agent types. Try command, they are like 95% combat or something.
Guile D'Verde Caldari The Crescent Order	Posted - 2006.11.13 00:12:00 - [16] Oh and I forgot to add, you don't want to move up to level 2 missions until you can fly a cruiser regardless of whether you have the standing for them. What corp are you working for, just out of curiousity?

Ricky Starwalker	Posted - 2006.11.13 02:31:00 - [19] There are indeed many more than 5 combat missions. And if you're getting too many courier or mining missions, you're using the wrong kind of agent. It's not just Command that gives 95% combat missions. Try Internal Security, Security, Intelligence or Surveillance for a pretty steady dose of combat stuff. Me, I enjoy doing missions, even after a couple of months of it. They do get more challenging as you progress to level II agents etc. And storyline missions come up regularly -- you get one after every 12 or 16 missions (I forget). Those can be quite interesting.
Skith Knoth	Posted - 2006.11.13 03:08:00 - [20] Again i have a well decked out cruiser. But stopped using it cause it was boring doing level 1 missions and shields only dropping to 95% killing everything at once. Currently working for Caldari Navy and Propel Dynamics. Rep is .68 and .66 with them. I do mainly command and security missions. I swear it seems like i do 2-4 missions to get Navy standing to go up 0.01 This is what's frustrating me. Maybe i should be doing more story line missions to increase rep quicker i dunno. Just lost my destroyer to Rexxar Civire. Doing a level 1 mission that sent me to a 0.4 area to kill drones. I entered the system and some dreadnought starts attacking me (not rexxar)i warp to the area to do my mission of killing drones. Complete the mission and head to warp gate and get killed and podded by Rexxar. I look at his standing and what race he is and we're the same. Er if someone goes around killing your own citizens i'd think you'd loose rep with them. A good guy turned pirate? Why POD a newb doing a level 1 quest in the first place? Is there a challenge in that? I don't think i want to be a pirate if they're all fools like Rexxar.
Asen Lieglama	Posted - 2006.11.13 04:26:00 - [21] Me, I've been getting the opposite problem to the OP. I like combat missions, but I wanted to do some courier missions today, and had very little luck. I think it's all luck sometimes.
Farrellus Cameron Sturmgrenadier Inc R i s e	Posted - 2006.11.13 04:34:00 - [22] You need to train connections to lvl 4. Solve all your problems.

A tip; When you get a system message saying the thing you're about to do might be dangerous THEY MEAN IT! It has nothing to do with race or standing, you're in low sec; expect to get shot, period. -------------------------------- ISS Navy Task Force; Protecting your interest.
argme	Posted - 2006.11.13 08:53:00 - [24] Hey i wasn't the programmer that set a newb level 1 mission to go into a 0.4 area. I didn't say thru it. I said into it to do my mission. Fine be a pirate and spend more on ammo that what you can salvage from my ship. Go ahead and kill a newb. Screw it i won't question that. But wtf is the POD KILLING about. If i was a pirate i'd demand a gratuity fee or a ransom or a toll bridge/warp gate fee or something instead of pod kill you. WTF theese morons just kill newbs for the fun of it and can't role play by trying to be a pirate. Oh wait maybe he was role playing. His was playing at being an ******* and an idiot. Next time try start conversation. ARG you're a newb maybe you got 500,000isk pay me now to use this stargate of f ing die biatch. Now that's roleplaying. Geez
Horton Heat Caldari	Posted - 2006.11.13 09:18:00 - [25] Maybe now you've had a taste of some of Eve's more pointless pirates, you could take some of that new-found emotion and dedicate yourself to pirate hunting? Guaranteed combat and no doubt a lot spicier than the missions : )
Caleb Paine ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.11.13 09:46:00 - [26] Why would you NOT podkill? -------------------------------- ISS Navy Task Force; Protecting your interest.
argme	Posted - 2006.11.13 10:11:00 - [27] For the ransom doh. That's the more correct way to roleplay a pirate. Pirates of old on sea ships always ransomed if they thought they could get a ransom. In fact ransom was a great way to make money. Hmm bounty huter to kill foolish idiotic pairates that can't even roleplay correctly. And no i don't put all pirates in that category. I'll think about it. But this is only my 15th day playing the game and i'm still doing level 1 missions and my rep went up 0.03 tonight. I figure 2-3 weeks and i can get level 2 missions. Yes i'm being sarcastic but at the =same time totally serious. Don't think i'll be a bounty hunter for about 6 months or more going at this rate. Seems there are more combat missions than i thought thanks to a previous poster. There are 6 combat missions for level 1 and not 5 like i thought (woopie). There is also 1 storyline mission, worlds collide which i mentioned. So 7 missions total for combat. At level 2 there are 22 and several story line ones (that's looking much better and L3 and L4 missions there are even more of). I guess i'm stuck doing those 6 combat missions and repeating worlds collide over and over again. :(
Enotz Amarr Terminus Est Incorporated	Posted - 2006.11.13 10:13:00 - [28] First of all, check your missions. If you can't survive in lowsec, turn down the mission. Secondly, train the ****ed connections skill. Even 2 or 3, which you can get easily in a few hours, will make a huge difference. Thirdly, if you want to have a ton of fun with combat in eve, go to 0.0 and pvp. You don't have to pirate, you can join an alliance and help defend their space, but NPCing is really not where it's at.

A little eve-mail that says they did..Isn't that a great reason!!
argme	Posted - 2006.11.13 11:09:00 - [30] I'm currently training Social to level 3 since that's a requirement for training connections. Good advise that and thanks to several of you for pointing it out. Example of a pirates death. pirate Rexxar civire enters his hideout and meets with hiw leader. Leader "HAAAAR how's it go today mate? What's the profits look like and who'd you kill?" Rexxar "Arg i was camping that gate you sent me to and blew me up a newb" Leader "HAAAR did you scan his cargo bay" Rexxar "Arg no. I just blew him up" Leader "HAAAR well what's the loot looking like" Rexxar "Arg about 20,000isk worth of crap" Leader "HAAAR oh you don't say. HAAR don't think that's gonna be covering the cost of the ammo. But HAAAAR at least you got a ransom. Rexxar "ARG no i podded him" BOOM (leader shoots Rexxar dead) Leader "HAAAAR Sir Francis Drake shake your leg and get over here. Space that body and take over command of his ship. Show me you know how to be a pirate that can make money and not be a fool like this one. Wait scrap that spacing. That's too good for him. Set him on a world and let him rot on the dirt. Serve him right and let it be a leason to all ye pirates. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR
