Eve-Online is a science fiction based on the far future in a distant galaxy called new Eden. Players are called capsuleers on a single server instance. Free to play pilots are alpha pilots limited to basic tech. I personally believe that playing with friends can be far more rewarding than solo play. Here some ways to make ISK even as a alpha pilot.
Distribution missions
Depending on location distribution missions can give you a constant low risk reward income, if you have a industrial ship able to move more than 3,000m3 at once… Downside is this can be very boring as standing increase is much slower. Storyline missions can sometimes give you combat missions that are harder to complete. If your agent at least 5 jumps away from low security system… Level 3 missions yield about 200,000 ISK per mission. I usually complete them 15 minutes focused. Unless you are too close to lowsec you shouldn’t be in any real risk as the items have no real value and if you’re in a not war eligible for war declaration because no structures deployed or in faction warfare. Other pilots shouldn’t have reason to gank you. Level 4 missions take ages to get access often takes hundreds of missions to use them just to meet standing requirements. Security missions will yield more potential income but they are higher risk in comparable level. They take more time per mission in clean up via salvaging and looting. Matters what you want to do in order to be more self efficient.
Sum up distribution missions
- Low Risk Hauling, good for agents far from low security space items hauled have no value so unless someone doesn’t like you or you wonder into lowsec you should be okay
- Slow standing increase so ideal in groups running the same agent can take ages to build up solo this what makes them less ideal
- every industrial and school corporations always have distribution agents. However lower level agents seem to send you out further than higher ones there are no level 5 agents of this type
hopefully this guide is helpful.. fly safe out there
