So a few noobie questions:

1. If I wanna do missions I must grind rep with a specific agent from 1-->2--->3 etc... to advance? Seems tedious.

2. Is exploration something I can begin immediately? I'm reading a few things and it seems it'll take a few million ISK investment and a lot of time training skills to be able to.

3. Is exploration still profitable? Is it still interesting/fun?

exploration is one of my favorite thing to do in this game and it makes a ton of money. it requires some skills yeah (if you dont want to die constantly) but for how much you make and the skills other things take its probably one of the easiest and cheapest things in the game to get into

plus the skills it takes are valuable outside of exploration, cloaking is great and the one thing in common with terrible scrubs is they don't know how to scan or how wormholes work

every game i tried with goons, wow, dota2, etc...there is a sense of "we don't care, we just here for the fun" factors in it, but the fact is that most of the guild/communities/corps are very try hard, with the mmr/item level/whatever of epeen measurement average much higher than other communities

my question is then are goons, not limited to eve, but SA games community actually the most try hard neckbeards of them all? even if we just say we don't care about the epeen measurement stats

Yeah. You buy items called skill extractors which take out 500k SP at a time. They then become Skill Injectors which you can sell on market.

Extractors are around 250mil a piece, with the Injectors going for 640mil at the moment.

You can't drain your character below 5.5million SP. Well, you sort of can if your at like say 5.6million and pull out 500k to get to 5.1mil but after that you can't use another extractor.

Yeah, Injectors are basically like PLEX.

We (PL) ganked an Orca with like 70 Injectors in it.

That's like 30 some odd million SP destroyed.

The upper management of the Goon guild in this game try very hard and take it very seriously. As a result, everyone else gets to chill out, fly what they want, and until recently amass truly staggering amounts of money by AFK farming.

My interpretation of a tryhard is someone who tries very hard for mediocre results, as opposed to someone who tries hard and exceeds. Neither of these things should be considered insults; always do your best, no matter how you bad you are.
