EVE Online - Business Career Arc: Balancing the Books (5 of 10)
Balancing the Books (5 of 10)

Objectives:

  • Pick up cargo (Agent Station)
  • Drop off Location (Changes, short distance)
  • Cargo: 1x Encoded Data Chip (0.1m3)

“Transport these goods to the destination.”

Overview

The fifth mission in the career arc takes the simple route of having you transport some goods between two stations. You’ll be picking up the data chip you retrieved from the fourth mission from your agent’s station and taking it a few short jumps away, probably no more than 2–3. Since the weight of the item is so small, you can fly a shuttle to get this done with quickly.

The Overdrive Injector System I you are granted at the start of the mission is quite a useful module for a pilot who often transports goods on autopilot over long distances, as the base speed increase it gives helps make the 15km stretch of travel to each gate while on autopilot that much faster. The drawback to installing this module will be reduced cargo space, so it’s preferable for long routes requiring little room in your hold.

On the other hand, the reward for this mission—the Expanded Cargohold I—is another great tool for haulers in the opposite manner. It allows an expansion of cargo space at the cost of max speed and Structure hitpoints, the latter of which should be noted as it also makes you a tad easier to gank if you’re holding lots of valuables.

Rewards:

  • Overdrive Injector System I x 1 (granted upfront)
  • Expanded Cargohold I x 1
  • 53,000 Isk bonus (1 hours, 30 minutes)
  • +0.1649 % corporation standing
