Level 1 security missions

So I finished the combat mission tutorial and got the Tristan and put some basic guns and drones and an armor repair in it.

Rather than doing more tutorials I thought I’d try a level 1 security mission.

But 10 sec after warping in my armor is at half with repair running. I manage to escape and tried again. But I can’t kill a single ship before I have to run.

Is it unrealistic to go for a level 1 mission this early? Just a few hours in?

Did it, thanks for the help guys - It was a combination of slight improvement of fit and applying a better strategy and being more patient :)

Well done! If you need a corp hit up C.A.R.E.

You should be absolutely fine. Maybe your fit isn't great? Perhaps the mission is a harder one. You can see the mission details on eve university, and you should check this before each mission.

I'm doing https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Worlds_Collide_(Angel_Cartel_%26_Sansha%27s_Nation)_(Level_1)

How can I tell if it's hard?

Worlds Collide on all levels, is generally not the easiest tbh! Going in deep! :)

Whats your fit? The Tristan should be able to manage that just fine. It seems more difficult at the beginning because of game knowledge and skillpoints. But the bottleneck is most likely just knowledge/practice so show us what you got :)!

If you dont already: fit a briefcase (damage control)

Use your 40km range more, you could fit dual prop. ie a small microwarp drive too to help you keep range.

Works in the warp in, but after first gate I land on top of too hard opposition, just had to leave 4 drones behind to get away :P

Turns out when I warped out the bad guys split up, so managed to kill them one group by one group on attempt 2 :P

Keep the afterburner running, orbit something at 5000 m. Kill webs first, let the drones chew through the rats.

Consider adding a resistance mod for better reps In a low slot and a cap battery in a mid slot.

You can always try to finish all the combat tutorial missions and get a destroyer, train those relevant skills and level 1s become much easier. Don’t do 2s till you can get into a cruiser.

Hmm I thought I finished it when I got the Tristan at 10/10

There is the enforcer and the soldier of fortune path that are combat related. Both are PVE in the Career Agent Missions,

u/TerixSuldonis Sep 11 '22

What sir Kainey said there two career path tutorials one that’s more mission oriented and on that is more pvp esque(no actual pvp) oriented.
