To Boldly Go

“It’s strange to her. Some people seem to have everything.” – Donna Summer, She Works Hard for the Money

After some initial exploration around Uitra, I was contacted by several career agents at the State War Academy. Funny that they didn’t seem to understand I wasn’t looking for work, but they insisted on offering me some missions anyway. Each agent offered missions around different skill sets which for me was a great way to learn about various ways to acquire some hard earned ISK. The agent names where Ranta Tarumo, Kokseri Velen and Hakkaras Ihora. The areas of work they represented were business, industry and military.

Through the various missions that they offered, I was rewarded not only with ISK, but with skills and ships as well. It was this way that I earned my next ship the bantam. It made for a great little miner, but that’s something I’m not really interested in. Also along the way, I earned a condor and a badger. Now the condor I really liked. That’s a nice fast little ship. I could really see a lot of worlds with that one. Each one has been a pleasure to fly for different reasons.

From the career agents, I basically learned there are many different ways to earn an income in New Eden. I would strongly suggest to any new pod pilot that they take the time to get to know their agents and run some missions. I think you’ll find the rewards versus the time taken is well worth it. As for me, my agents all agreed that I seemed the right type of person to help out a Sister Alitura of the Sisters of Eve. She’s not exactly all that close, fifteen jumps away, but it would give me a chance to see some other systems along the way. So, I think I’ll head out there next.
