| - | ==== Industry | + | ==== Missions |
| - | If you’re more the stay-at-home type, then perhaps manufacturing and industry is more your speed. Strike deals with local miners for materials, decide what blueprints are most in demand by the alliance, and get those production furnaces burning. Shipping is expensive, so local manufacture, especially of ship hulls, can be extremely profitable without needing to overcharge your corpmates. And every time someone loses a ship they’re going to need to replace not just that hull, but guns, ammo and modules as well. | + | While the storytelling might never challenge the likes of //The Witcher// or //Skyrim//, just like every other MMO EVE Online contains NPC quests. 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 ==== |
