kalniel, we have some friends, some very big friends... we supply ships to a lot of people and this is halting production so we're not just sitting round waiting for them to get bored. I think we've hunted down and destroyed 2 of their HAC's already (fully rigged and worth hundreds of millions each), and we as a corp have yet to suffer a loss to their hands, however, other corps in out Alliance haven't been so lucky.

It might be worth letting your customers know, not likely to get them a full on response but they might consider asking a few of their roaming gangs to move closer to your enemy and single them out for special attention.

[Allen]

Hehe, we have enough help, but we're still completing orders efficiently. It doesn't look like this war is having much of an impact, other than making us aware of local and going around in large(r) fleets to mine and hunt etc.

[Agent]

Thats how I'm feeling right now

[Allen]

Hehehe, so so true!

[chuckskull]

Yeah. Been at this nearly a year still learning.

That cartoon is great Agent! Where's it from? Looks very xkcd-ish.

I've been playing the trial for about 6 days, getting a lot more into it than last time - starting to wish I'd chosen another race though - don't really like the Caldari ships at all.

A n00bish question: why can't I learn the Navigation 2 skill yet? It has a green tick next to it, and when I mouse over it I get a hint that says I can learn the skill, but I can't click on it, and the time bar doesn't show like the other skills I can learn. Little annoying, since I'm starting to collect a lot of loot that I can't use with out certain skills.

EDIT - Nevermind, didn't realise you had to buy skills before you could train them!

[Gerrard]

IIRC, you've got your skills display set as "All skills I Can Currently Train" under the setting tab of the skill page. The green tick means you can learn the skill but don't have it yet. If you search the market (make sure it's set to region) under Skills->Navigation and then select "Navigation", it will show you where and how much the skill book costs (probably only 9k, it's a very basic skill. By contrast, the one I'm looking at getting next is 45mil ). Simply buy it and then right-click->Train. Viola.

EDIT: Oh well, couple of minutes too late

It was on Digg last week, no idea where its from (does look very xkid though )

I've been reading over everything that you lot have been telling me about Agents. I understand how to bring them all up etc. but I still can't find one over Quality:0
I have been doing loads of one missions for this one person, many of them exactly the same and driving me to the point where I want to go to 0.0 and get killed out of pure boredom.
But anyway, my standing with her is just shy of 5.....so why can't I find any more Agents that are a higher quality than 0 anywhere?!?! Its driving me crazy.
I don't understand why they make something so fundamental to a MMOG, progression, so difficult to grasp and do.

[Jay]

I am going to reactivate my account.

Where is the corp located?

[kalniel]

Connection issues aside, I'm loving it. Also on day 6 I think, 70mil in the bank. Amarr may have rubbish stats, but I love the look of their ships too much.

Ignore your standing with the agent itself. Although as it increases, the effective quality very slightly increases, it's the standing with the corp itself that determines what agents you can use. What corp does the agent work for and what's your standing with that corp?
Convo Daxtor Xilo if you want me to try and run through it with you in game.

Yes, I like Amarr ships for their looks as well, but they do suck a bit. Although they've just tried to increase their damage output by nerfing everyone elses resistances (no nerfs my arse!). That will only affect PvP though, and not PvE.

[Jay]

I am right in thinking there is a Hexus corp?

[Agent]

Nope!

[Jay]

Why not?
