Hello!
Had some questions for more experienced pilots out there (which were probably asked more than million times, umm, well).
I've recently got a Heron frigate, glanced through fitting setups suggested by the EveUni and noticed that no exploration fittings have weapons. So Heron isn't suitable for at least hishsec combat exploration at all? I was thinking, maybe go with two drones and a missile launcher something in the high slot, is that feasible?
If no and I better use a combat-oriented vessel, what's your opinion, shall I either create another pilot and make him take military career, or can the current one train military? He is now pretty deep in mining, processing and exploration but can take some shooting lessons.
Finally, more general one: what do you think, is solo mining a good idea? I was thinking of doing maybe gas mining/wormhole exploration. I'm not talking about the money, since there are not many things to spend them on, but about fun!
Thanks in advance for your time and replies! |

Yeah, me too.

Wow, that's a beauty. Stratios looks great too, I'll work towards getting one of them then, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for a vivid example, got your hint.

You can train multiple ships per character, which means you can use multiple ships. You're not stuck in the Heron.
I read somewhere that in order to achieve something in EVE you have to train your character in one area. So I figured, if current one specialized in exploration, then can't make a fighter out of him.
Thanks for the replies, everyone, I now see how I shall proceed.

Thanks everyone for your detailed replies, you're extremely helpful, I've yet to find such community elsewhere, including my workplace :D

If you're looking for fun, mining is almost always a poor choice.
CCP: Here's a great big universe. go forth, be whatever you want.
Miners: I... I want to be a digger.
Umm yeah, that's why I'm concerned. Almost all other activities require social interaction, I have a very tight schedule and guess would be of little use to alliances and such. Additionally, I'm not that good at interacting with strangers...
When I said fun I thought of wormholes exploration combined with gas mining, and maybe some drug manufacturing much much later... I chase them all day, might switch sides for a change. |

Sorry. No offense meant.
Yeah, I guess that's why the community here is way better :)

All good then. I'll look for a friendly corp!
And one more question, actually corp-related:
I understand there's Concord as a 'federal police', then faction police that can be fought with, but I also heard there're corporations that run their own police and customs. Is that true, by chance? |

Actually, I meant "...in null sectors", because I never thought anyone would dare to occupy highs O_o I wonder how they enforce anything, if an unprovoked highsec attack means Concord is going for you.

Found my first wormhole, went to W-Space and successfully hacked several Gurista data centers. Brought back some loot for several million isk...
The only question is how do I sell it? I got Decryptos of several kinds, Caldari datacores and spare parts, and looks like there're no contracts for them... Advice is appreciated! |

Thing is, there are no buying orders at all. Guess those 'estimated prices' don't mean a thing. Well, at least I can but them on the fridge in my ship. |

Filling a hauler with explo loot at my rate will take some months I believe :D
I actually looked for the orders in a 1.0 system (the exit WH lead me to one of Amarr' sectors), but I apparently did something wrong, I see now in Eve-Central (thanks for pointing this thing out!) that there are buy orders... And that the difference between sell and buy orders is ~300k, I wonder if anyone buys from them.

Keep in mind that this is a PVP game, and if you carry more in your cargo hold than the cost of the ship required to kill you, Concord or not, you will get attacked.
I'll keep that in mind. I think I'll use my frigate with cloak though, it's not like there is a lot to haul... |

I have to admit that's far more interesting than typical NPC looting and dealing stuff to NPC traders for a fixed price. Obtain the goods, locate the buyer, deliver the cargo safe, just like IRL. Thank god there's no fuel in the game. |

Hey, I'm not complaining. This way Jita is a major trading hub not because the Devs decided to make it one but because the pilots chose so, and it's cool.
However... Is there price inflation? And do Eve corps issue shares? That might be fun to play with :D |

Really? Please elaborate :D You mean, like solid structures and such?
