I've played eve on and off over the last decade but I avoid mainfleet like the plague, holesquad is too elitepvp for me, and I despise ratting. I just station trade and pimp out my titan and go on supercap ops. At least when it's over I'm home within a few minutes and With the amount of keepstars flung about delve I doubt we'll ever be at risk of losing our space ever again.

It is concerning that our alliance is basically just pubbies though, but eh. You try keep a few thousand peeps doing the same thing for ten years and not getting a life/wife/job/friends/hobbies/other, better games in the meantime. Fresh blood for the blood god and all that.

I've only ever played solo mostly did regional trading 2013-2015 but that gets boring fast after repeating the same thing over and over making more ISK than you could ever spend.

Some of the best months I ever had as a trader was during the height of the Casino War when all of Goons were in Saranen. Skill Injectors had just come out the ISK making on trading in that station was insane. I would have a blockade runner drop off a bunch of stuff in the Saranen station post it for sale. It would be all be gone before I had made it back to Jita and would just repeat the process over and over. Buying ships reselling them to the same client for 100 or 200m more than what you paid for. Unreal.

I did the tutorial missions for each of the mission types, and made my base at the second base you are pointed to and haven't left.
And there I have just mined and leveled up skills since, logging in every few days to select the next skill and maybe make 2-3 million on a mining run in hi-sec.
I found a system that no one goes to to mine or travels to hardly, so I can chill and relax and play WoW at the same time.
I want to do some story missions but don't know where the gently caress to get them.
I admit I am a coward in Eve too, only went to low sec TWICE, and both times lost my ship within 10 minutes to gankers.
Still, if I win the lottery and/or retire, I can see myself poopsocking EvE hardcore.

I would recommend against doing missions in eve. They are incredibly boring and payout almost nothing. The main reason to do them would be for the reputation gain if you want better trade fee %'s or LP store has something you want. I started doing missions in Eve back in 2007-2008 it's gets old fast. Make you own fun. That is is greatness of Eve. You can do whatever you want the game simply gives you the tools to do it.

I did read your posts and they often reminded me that I was glad to be enjoying a trip to a foreign land and not drowning in the freezing North Atlantic. That being said, you should never be afraid to travel to faraway places as long as you do your research and take the proper precautions. Depending on where you go it might be to bring Tums or you might have to make a knife out of your Discover card and tape it to your belly. Ultimately the most important thing is to travel with the right people. I have been to a lot of garbage places but made lifetime memories with the folks I was with.

Yes. And I don't want to hand them flamethrowers, so I tend to have a dim view of large amounts of money changing hands over videogames.

Moderate amounts of money are fine, but once you're approaching _rent_ money, I get bothered about the choices that people are making.

Lightly bothered. I'm in a bother-rich environment at the moment.

After playing the PTU for 3.2, after the fizz of new ships and mining has quickly gone flat. Waiting another three months with just those more noticeable additions are probably more likely to spend time elsewhere? In a healthy non toxic discussion as it’s all going in the right direction but veryyyy slowly
He'd better get used to it.

I believe you can do the Sisters of Eve story arc right after the tutorial stuff and that starts in Arnon, but I believe the faction story arcs all require you to have a certain standing with that faction to start it. MY memory is a little hazy, it has been a while.

Newly Created US Space Force Ganked by EVE Online Player With $3,000 Ship

HIGH EARTH ORBIT — The United States’ new Space Force, announced by President Trump this week, suffered a crushing defeat today at the hands of an EVE Online player with a vessel worth over $3,000.

“It was a disaster,” said Airman First Class Tamara Keller, sole survivor of the gank. “We were still learning how to navigate the menus when this giant ship started shooting lasers and missiles everywhere. We don’t have any of that cool poo poo yet. All we could do was hide behind those satellites people use to watch porn on their phones. It’s not fair. We weren’t even out of the starter area.”

The EVE Online player, a 15-year-old from Missouri with the username StarShipPoop3r, was not sympathetic to the new program.

“Those dudes were total scrubs,” the attacker told reporters. “What, did they just start this week or something? My Avatar-class titan is worth like four months of rent, so I try not to touch it. But the US Space Force was a perfect target since I love the thrill of hunting unprepared, defenseless prey. Some people say EVE Online isn’t fun, but I had a blast grinding 3 years for a virtual item I’m too afraid to use.”

The White House declined to comment, but an anonymous source said President Trump assumed space was going to be “more like Star Wars.”
