I think someone made a temporary corp for the LOS members. Eventually I'd like to join a big corp though, to join in on some of the galactic politics and power struggles.

Yeah, I'd like to get in to some of the political games and all that fun stuff too. But either way I'll join the temp corp until we get it figured out.

There was a group of LOS in a gang last night, I just don't remember exactly how was the leader of the corp. One of them was lol.

You all do anything fun?? Did you figure out what kind of ship you are going for until you move into the battleship?? I like using a destroyer when not in my BS.

I'll probably be getting the Thorax cruiser. That should tide me over and be enough of a ship to last until I get a battleship. Besides, I'd like to work on some of my defensive/offensive skills.. bigger guns, missiles, better shields, etc. Otherwise.. if I shot straight to BS it would be all style and no substance, so to speak lol.

Yeah, I agree. Really for lvl 1 missions you don't need much. Cruisers will definitely be enough. I think the gallente ships are the ones with the most drone space too. If you train those up a bit they help make the missions go a lot quicker. Also remember to use specific damage types on the different pirates (i.e. use kinetic on guristas pirates).

Also get your connections skill to level 3 (social). That helps your rep with the agents soooooo much.

Ya, back when I had my destroyer with my other guy.. that was even good enough for level 1 missions, made it pretty easy. With a cruiser it should be even more so. Ya.. from my understanding the Gallente ships do have the best drone space, and my guy even started with a bunch of drone skills too that were pretty high if I recall correctly. So that should help out. Well if I use different damage types, wouldn't that mean I would consistantly have to swap weapon charges and such? Wouldn't that be a nuisance after a while? lol.

Yeah, but if you are doing missions or ratting normally you run in to the same type of pirates. Once you get into the higher missions they start changing a bit but in my hangar I have like 10 of each type of drone damage type and I also have missiles of different damage types. It's not a big deal but it does make a nice difference.

** Main Damage type to shoot at the enemy **
Guristas - Kinetic
Serpentis - Thermal
Mordus - Thermal & Kinetic
Blood - EM & Thermal
Sansha - EM & Thermal
Angel - Explosive
Mercenary - Thermal
Corpum - EM & Thermal
Gist - Explosive

** Damage types ***
Guristas - Kinetic / Thermal
Serpentis - Thermal / Kinetic
Blood Raider - Thermal / EM
Sansha's Nation - EM / Thermal
Angel Cartel - Kinetic / Explosive / Thermal
Minmatar Fleet - Thermal / Explosive
Amarr Navy - EM / Thermal
Mordus - Kinetic / Thermal
Corpim - EM / Thermal
Gist - (EM)+Kinetic/Thermal

So in Caldari astroid fields I always fight Guristas. So obviously having all Kinetic damage is the way to go as well as protecting against Kinetic damage. For you I'm not sure what the normal rat type is.
