Topic: Need assistance! -Progression

So i've been in the beta for a few days now, and i've added a few hours of game time to my belt. Since I've started playing i've pretty much been doing the same 2 quests over and over. I've upgraded my robot, i've got some decent artillery, and I have no clue where to go from here. I would like to join some sort of corp, but I don't know anyone just yet.. I'd like to see other places, and do other things. Do I just need to drive my little robot cross country to another place on the map? Are there other means of transportation? I understand the concept of sandbox, and I certainly appreciate it. I'm just more or less trying to figure out what I should aspire for.. When I played UO, I always wanted the biggest house I could get, with the best loots. I'm just not sure where to go from here.

obviously the wrong forums section...

this one is probably better.

Re: Need assistance! -Progression

I'd suggest looking for a corp.  Most have very friendly people that can assist you with learning the game further, or taking you on expeditions, etc.  What corp to look for depends on what you want to do.  If you're looking for PVP, then try a corp like Menace To Society [M2S].  If you're looking for industry or PVE, then try a corp like Eurocorp Syndicate [ECS] or Deus Ex Mechanus [DXM].

Basically, talk to members who are in corps to see what their corp is like, then apply for one that sounds good.

Thanks for the suggestion Thanto - As luck should have it, about 10 minutes after I posted this I randomly found a friend in game and joined his corp. Hoorah! And sorry GM Kami - My question was primarily based around what features I could possibly expect for end game so my head didn't produce any 'delusions of grandeur'.
