| One of the most attractive aspects of EVE is the limitless potential for what you can become. Everyone starts from the same beginning, the same empty wallet and rookie ship, but after that it’s up to you. You can become a space dictator or space diplomat; a miner or mover; a hired-gun or a contract killer. Wait, those last two are the same thing. Never mind. | One of the most attractive aspects of EVE is the limitless potential for what you can become.

| While there are many, many corporations and alliances within the game that specialise in perhaps one or two aspects of gameplay, one of the things that makes Brave special is that you can choose to play the game however you want to, with the only caveat that we insist you are having fun while doing it. ‘Maximising fun-per-hour’ is not just a catchy slogan, it is core to our purpose. | While there are many, many corporations and alliances within the game that specialise in perhaps one or two aspects of gameplay, one of the things that makes Brave special is that you can choose to play the game however you want to, with the only caveat that we insist you are having fun while doing it. ‘Maximising fun-per-hour’ is not just a catchy slogan, it is core to our purpose. | ||

Agents of the multifarious NPC corporations live in New Eden's network of stations, and offer missions of increasing difficulty and reward, from level 1 up to level 5. Depending on the type of mission running you enter into, you might find yourself mining, moving livestock or prisoners, rescuing captives, or shooting pirates -- all for rewards that can be spent in the NPC corporation' | ||

| + | If you prefer to work alone, then exploration might be your favoured option. Fly solo through system after system, scanning for the abandoned structures that can be looted for valuable materials. It’s a great chance to really hone your solo skills; in low or nullsec, avoiding gate camps and explorer hunters will teach you the importance of the d-scan and how to avoid the bad guys, and the occasional big score will make up for any losses. | ||

| - | Of course, one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to make money — both for yourself and the alliance — is through ratting: killing NPC ships in asteroid belts or cosmic anomalies. As well as bringing in ISK, it also raises the ADM (Activity Defense Multiplier) of the system you’re in, making it much harder for enemies to capture our space (or “entosis our sov” in EVE lingo) … so make sure you spread the love around! | + | ==== Hauling ==== |
