So after my mini-rant yesterday about the futility of running storyline courier missions in order to grind up already-high faction standings, Kirith left a handy hint to try out turning in criminal tags at a datacenter.
Awesome! Except I had no clue whatsoever where to find datacenters (I’ve only been playing for 3 years…meh). So early this morning, before RL took over, I fired up Google and came across this incredibly helpful entry on EVE-Wiki:
Data centers are deadspace locations found at beacons in high-security ‘empire’ space. There are twelve data centers total, which is three data centers per major empire faction (Caldari, Minmatar, Gallente), however Amarr split theirs with the Ammatar (and hence have more agents total). Each is a single location with two or more agents each (the agents are located on interactable ships). Each Data Center focuses on one of the major npc pirate factions; Caldari collect Guristas, Gallente collect Serpentis, Minmatar collect Angel, Amarr collect Sansha and Ammatar collect Blood (their agents are however somewhat mixed).
The above is followed by a ton of data on each faction’s datacenters, locations, missions, agents, and so on. Pure awesome.
20 minutes, a quick trip to the Ferira system, and a few million ISK in tag purchases later, my Amarr faction standings went from 6.47 to 6.81, and off to the Epic Arc I go.
Thanks again Kirith (and I love the blog).
Thanks for coming back for another visit!
