Ive been playing a few days now, got my head round most things.

Im currently playing and focusing on Combat only, got myself an Arbalest and a few million NIC from farming kernels.

What is the next stage? Do i grind rep for some factions from lvl 1 up to lvl 3/4 assignments? If so does this mean doing the same few missions over and over maybee a hundred more times?

Or do i find a few friends and go PVP or go farm higher rank mobs? Are assignments worth it?

Currently loving the game but just unsure what to do next (im in a corp but do mostly solo play)
