AE is shorthand for Architect Entertainment. The section of the game that allows players to create their own missions.
You can use these the level with since they do reward experience.
For me, it's a good alternative to police radio/newspaper missions but not all of them come with complete storylines or (in some cases) any plot at all. User Beware.
Adding a bit to my original post:
AE missions can sometimes be solo'd. It all depends on how well designed they are and what type of character you are using. Since these are player made there is a wide range in playability. Some missions have been designed to work well for a specific type of character or powerset. Again, user beware.
Writer of In-Game fiction: Just Completed: My Summer Vacation. My older things are now being archived at Fanfiction.net http://www.fanfiction.net/~jwbullfrog until I come up with a better solution.
The problem is that at the moment the majority of the missions being played are pure farm missions. I would advise staying out of those with your first character since there's a lot of things you'll miss if you power level.
To find missions designed by their authors to be soloed, open the AE window by clicking on the consoles in an AE building, click Browse and Play, Search Options, More, Match Keywords, Solo Friendly.
When you get to level 5, it opens a contact that gives a little AE tutorial walkthrough. Do that when you can to learn more.

Hi all, brand new player and have no idea what AE missions are and what they are used for. Can someone please fill me in, and can any of them be soloed? Thanks...
