DEEP SPACE
COMPLEXES
At various points in the universe
there are little beacons that will
take you to a complex or other
area that is off the beaten path. These are
deep space complexes that house other
unique challenges for those daring enough
to attempt them. They range from simple
1/10 which are easily done with a basic
Frigate, to 5/10 which I assume would be a
corp effort with battleships, to 10/10, which
NEURAL
IMPLANTS
These are handy little things to
have. They provide instants
boosts to a stat, or improve your
abilities instantly. The only problem is they
can be expensive, hard to get, and you
loose them when you are killed. You can
get implants in a number of ways, but the
most common are doing lots of agent
missions, or killing high level pirates.
Once you have an implant, it is a good
idea to pl
DEATH
So you got your ship blown up,
your pod breached, and you
are now floating dead in
space. Lucky for you, technology has found
a way to keep your from dieing, cloning. I
am not going into the technicalities of the
system (it is rather interesting though), so
we will start with the basics of the clone.
When you first start the game, you have
a basic clone worth a few skill points.
WAR
Unless you have expert
diplomacy skills (you
personally, not the trained
skill) you will eventually come across
another corp that wants to see you
completely destroyed for some trivial
reason like; you stole there system, blew up
their POS, ran over their dogs, etc. The list
is long and endless. When war is declared,
you have 24 hours before you can start
fighting freely with out C
The Nitty Gritty Of
Corp Management
Once you have a corp you need to
assign roles to the members so they have
access to selected corp assets. I have yet to
find a definitive corp management guide,
outlining all the roles, basic management,
and other useful information for corp CEOs
to use. When you form your corp, you get
to design your corp logo, set your corp tax
rate, and name your corp hangers. Corp
Basic roles new players need are query
and take access from the probation hanger,
and query access to a mineral hanger if you
have members deposit ore into the corp
hanger. Depending on your level of
paranoia you may have for alt spys and
sabotage, giving security officer to
members is helpful for members to deposit
items directly in to others hangers, but not
take. Security Officer simply allows
members to look at the hang
Building a battleship is always a good one,
because seeing a battleship you helped to
build fly, is a warm feeling. Take that and
see the fleet of battleships fly; it’s a much
bigger feeling. At some point these players
will want some form of compensation, in
the form of a ship of equipment. Depending
how much they have done for the corp, you
should give them it, or work out a deal with
them. Eg. If you have a person who min
Corporate mining and incentive systems
Getting ore for the corporation
and running all the operative
divisions sounds all well and
good, but people want to get something out
of it, and freedom to do other things. To
encourage people to do their designated
jobs, they want to be paid. For mining it is
easiest to institute a payment system per
container of ore, or a mandatory quota of 1
can and payment for anything over and
CORPORATE
MANAGEMENT
If you get lonely mining by yourself,
and haven’t joined a corp., join one.
Corporations always want
dedicated and proficient miners because
minerals make the galactic economy
function. If you want to form your own
corporation, train corporate management
to at least level 3, then form your own corp.
Here is where your connections come
into play, if you are in a corp. and liked it,

Once you have the basics in place, you
go to the corp button on the left side of the
screen, and create your corp, it should cost
around 1 million ISK to incorporate. Once
you have a corporation, you are
automatically appointed as the CEO with
full access to all corporate assets and
functions. You should have some friends to
join your corp and make it look semireputable,
and spread out the
responsibilities like security and
