Depends what you're doing. Destroyers are good at agent missions and PvE but you won't want to stay in one forever because that gets boring.

Supposed to be able to just sell em for the cash reward for Bounty from Concord right?I don't know where to sell em, none of the places I dock at want to buy em at all. Everywhere says "No one is buying such and such at this time".
I have a Tier 3, Tier 4, and a Tier 5 I need to get the money for.

Search for buyers by region - but generally, any station with 'Concord' in the name will buy 'em. Don't accept the lower prices some PCs offer in other stations.

Yeah, right click and bring up the market info. You can set it to be the entire region you're in. You'll be interested in the bottom section, that's the list of buyers. Arange it to be by price, then make sure you're not going into low sec to get there via auto piolet. And voila. Once you jump into the system it's in, you can right click on the line it's on, and dock with it through that.

Any CONCORD station will buy them for what they're worth

Anyway, here's current political map of EO. I'm kinda intimidated by the apparent depth of the game. Tarquinn fucked around with this message on 12-11-2005 at 06:29 AM.
It's worth it to find a corp in an alliance that controls some space since 0.0 is, after all, profitable

Also, in case you haven't figured outt ehe trial thing, I did this:
1. Get code, enter code, follow directions.
2. Get to screen where it says they will be sending an email.
3. Go back, re-enter the same code.
4. Enter desired account info, then use it to log in. I got the emails like..a few minutes ago (signed up around this time yesterday.)
As the story goes, on April 18th, Xemdal lured Mirial out to put on a show of force. She was flying her Battleship-class Navy Apocalypse, while he was flying an Imperial Apocalypse. These ships are rare, difficlt to get. So much so that (According to PC Gamer) only 2 were ever known to exist.
On that day, Xemdal lured Mirial into a surprise ambush, attacked and destroyed Mirial's multi-billion isk battleship, and destroyed the life pod she escaped in (Destroying hundreds of millions of isk worth of cybernetic implants). He scooped up the vaccuum-frozen corpse of his enemy as proof that the deed had been done. Simultaneously, GH-SC undercover agents raided every single office of UQS, taking everything they could. They were estimated to have stolen over 20 billion isk worth of minerals, money, and other assets. The total damage done to the corporation Ubiqua Seraph totals in at over 30 billion isk. (The equivalent of 16,500 USD)
In an hour worth of work, after a year of planning, the assassins had managed to reduce an extremely successful corporation to rubble. The 'supposed' reason that Mirial and her corporation had been targetted was that she was supposed to have been a corporate thief and an escrow scammer herself, but that was never verified by the assassins before they carried out the operation.

I had wanted to find the thread containing the official statement from Istvaan on the heist, but never did come across it. Interesting to see everyone's reactions to such a momentous incident.
The best part being, it's totally within game-mechanics and background.
And it has to be one of the best, if not the best corporate heist ever to be pulled off successfully. GHSC rocks.

This might mean more to me if I understood the game mechanics better. As it stands, I'm just running around doing NPC crap. I understand that people can build structures in space, but do they actually get to lay claim to solar systems? Or is it just they say it's theirs and have it patroled to make sure?

Basically what happens is that corporations can form alliances, and any corporation can put up a space station, outpost, and so on. Having a tower in a system claims it for your corporation, and hence, for your alliance.
This, however, is a recent development. Before that, 'claimed' space was basically done by the region. Alliance A would claim Curse, and then it was up to them to make sure they had the upper hand in that system. Ergo, run patrols, and boot out any unwanted elements.
It's now a mix of things. You will find outposts in key systems within a claimed region/constellation, and there is a sphere of influence beyond that. That's how the political map is made.
I once made an animation of all known political maps, and it shows you that this really does work out pretty nice, on the current map, the 'The Five' alliance is basically out of territory, and their last bit is being contested. 2 maps ago they held a massive part of the southern end of the map.

It still is one of the best heists ever perpetrated, in any game. GHSC has been quiet as of late though, which either means something bigger is coming, or they're taking it easy.
You should also upgrade your pipe dream to being a spiffy, well armed, and rather deadly battleship captain, with a support fleet of well armed and also deadly cruisers, and well armed and deadly in large numbers frigates

Khyron thought about the meaning of life:
At 5am on April 18th, 2005, the contract bounty on Mirial, CEO of the mega-corporation Ubiqua Seraph, ended. The contract had been issued to the Guiding Hand Social Club, a secret organization of assassins, over 1 year before. GH-SC spent over a year infiltrating the corporation, planting agents in key positions throughout the entire administration. One of them, Arenis Xemdal, was one of the most highly-ranked officers in the corporation.As the story goes, on April 18th, Xemdal lured Mirial out to put on a show of force. She was flying her Battleship-class Navy Apocalypse, while he was flying an Imperial Apocalypse. These ships are rare, difficlt to get.
