There's only one problem. If you have multiple characters, you can only train one of them at a time.

Guess I should add... I've been at this for a month or so... I'm working up to the cruiser class of ships. It's going to be awhile. I'm sure I'll need to work on skills for larger weapons as well...

Character name is "Uomo DellaSabbia".

I nominate Sandman to head our Aces High Corporation. All in favor? You already join a corp Sandy?

Sandman · « **Reply #48 on:** July 24, 2004, 12:48:16 AM »

I don't have the skills to head a corp at this point.

Wow, EO looks like fun. I never new that these types of games existed. (I need to get out more.....

I'm going to D/L and play the Free Trial. Please keep me in mind if your starting a Clan/Corp/Tribe.

Took some missions. Nice break from mining, and help me to learn how to set waypoints into the auto pilot. Got three ships now, the trainer (which no one wants to buy, lol), a frigate, and a fast shuttle for courior duty.

The learning curve is pretty large, but there's lots of different stuff to do so I'm having a blast. Been invited several times to join a corporation, but turning them down politly waiting for the AH corp.

edit: a nice feature, you can minimize while mining, or going through jump gates on auto pilot and surf or whatever. I'm mining Plagioclase as I post this;)

I installed it yesterday and talked with Sandman a bit before I logged off. My ingame name is Smooth Operator and I fly Gallente. I'm pretty poor running courier missions in the stock Velator. Hopefully I'll be able to buy a bigger sihp and some miner 1's, get that crap over with and then move into building weapons and other things when I have money. I also have ship building skills.

Buy a fast shuttle for courier missions. They're dirt cheap.

I'm based at the Federal Navy Training School in the region of Essence. Problem is I'm probably going to want to move my base of operations soon. I don't want to leave my extra ships behind. Be nice if I can fly one to the new location, and catch a ferry ride back to to get the others.

Let cha know what I figure out.

Whats a good place for a caldari noob fighter guy to get some decent missions?
I've been doing agent missions in the .9 space around new cardari but thats getting old. Since I bought a merlin the bad guys are just too easy.

Also, what the heck are the escro missions? I see tons of those posted, but I'm not sure how they work.

Just when I thought I had the mining all stitched up by buying a large industrial ship I discover that while I now have a huge cargo area I can only fit one mining laser and I have no drone bay. Do you know how long it takes to mine 7,500 units of omber with a single mining laser? OK, I'll buy a huge secure cargo container, drop it off in an asteroid belt and use my probe to mine and fill it up. Then I'll use the big ship to ferry the omber to a station. Seemed like a good plan, bought the cargo container and then discovered I don't have the skill to anchor it, DOH! Oh well, live and learn.

BTW, for you newer guys without more advanced skills in refining, you may get more by selling the raw unrefined ore. I mine omber pretty much exclusively and get more for it unrefined.
