Cash Flow for Capsuleers (4 of 10)

Objectives

• Explore the provided location.

“Warp to the Deadspace area. Find the stargate and approach it.”

Overview

The fourth part of the Military Career arc of EVE Online is a pretty quick mission, involving no combat whatsoever; it just has you flying out to the target location in a ship and flying towards the stargate structure found there. Occasionally, you will receive missions like these from the other generic mission agents, although they can often include large, sometimes overwhelming pirate forces that can surprise you at a given moment. When found in the normal missions, these surprise forces are generally not part of the objective and can be evaded, ignored, or pursued for bounty.

You can optionally take a shuttle to make this mission go by a little faster, since you do not need any fitted modules.

How to Complete the Mission

When you reach the mission location, you will find the stargate nestled within a lattice-like asteroid/rock formation. You can either select it and approach, or just fly towards it, as though you were going through the hole in the center of the formation. Try to avoid flying into any of the geometry where your ship can get caught, as you will need to warp out shortly.

Once you reach the gate and start to pass it, the mission objective completes while a green cloud surrounds the gate in a wide radius, doing 15 damage periodically to your ship. This is essentially an environmental trap that can be found in other missions from time to time, so it’s a hazard you should be potentially prepared for. Just warp out as soon as you can, heading back to your agent’s station to turn in the mission. You can linger for a short time in the mission area without losing your ship, but it is not a good idea to do so for much longer than that.

As a final note, like your agent will explain upon completion, the Afterburner and the Micro-Warpdrive can be used to increase your ship’s speed, making it easier to “blitz” missions. Blitzing refers to bypassing as many enemies as possible in order to speed through a mission to complete its objective, forgoing bounty in favor of the reward isk, standings, and loyalty points.
