Lachrymosa, the new guy

[Lachrymosa]

Well, im brand new to this game... if there is any way other than forum to speak to people, perhaps send PMs through the game or something that would be nice. Also I just read the help stuff but any pro-tips would be appreciated. :D

Welcome Lachrymosa (does it come from the song Lacrymosa of Evanescence?). You wanted some tips;
1. Spend your HPD on hardware until you got a good gateway.
2. Do smaller and newer missions to avoid competition.
3. Dont download unnecessary things like v 0.1 stuff you allready got. All too many noobs are doing this.

Well luckily i intuitively got this game lol, I found some basic corporation server and am now downloading a basic sweeper that I didnt have, I'm also doing a few missions at a time because sometimes the missions dissapear before im done cracking and so i move on.

Doing multiple missions at once is good. If you want to avoid wasting time on missions that get completed by others before you finish them, look at the server's process list before starting your delete/disinfect. If someone else is already doing the mission, he can finish the process earlier than you.

Also you can do lower paying missions to while settling in the game :] Lower paying missions are usually less competed over and are easier to complete. Also good for practice
