Advice for starting a researcher

[msgerbs]

For a few months now I've been toying with the idea of making a researcher to tool around with. The problem is, I have absolutely 0 ability when it comes to repping. My understanding is that I would want at least neutral with order and junkers, and green with kusari (for kusari explorer... I'm not flying a transport around out there). Sadly, I have absolutely no idea how to achieve this.

Am I even correct in the reps a researcher needs? And how would I go about achieving said reps?

Do a /restart kusari and do a few bribes for your desired factions? For a generic researcher, I'd say you want to be at least neutral with house corporations, possibly military and police too.

Repping just takes time, not skill.

It takes knowing who to bribe, who to double bribe, and who to do missions for.

You simply bribe hostile factions which you want to be friendly with.

I don't see anything difficult with that.

There isn't a "researcher" repsheet you have to follow.

Ok.

Any advice for a good "researcher-ish" starting ship while I work towards an Explorer? The powertrade is also weak with this one:P

Hmm, researcher as a trader, will you be researching ways of making credits?

I thing that ID is purely RP oriented.

/givecash from your trader to researcher

Who said I was using my researcher to trade?

Try an Armored transport, it's nice and cheap, and nobody pirates them. I think.

So basically you're shooting someone else's ship?
PvP abuse, IMO.

No ship is completely immune to piracy.

I've been pirated in an unarmoured Eagle which I used to set up a character before, the extortion was 2 million.

Its a shame I let the original character with this name get deleted... He was in an armored transport -_-
