EVE General Discussion

I use a Vindicator to wantonly murder defenseless Guristas.

Dead wrong. Almost everything I do is in lowsec these days. Yeah I'm usually fighting larger numbers, but I do FW so I use plex entrances to split my enemies up, or fly fast skirmish ships so I can try for 1v2 or 1v3 fights and disengage if things look grim.

Actually, to be completely honest I don't understand why lowsec is such a dead zone. The money out there is better than highsec, and the risks are quite manageable if you have a shred of situational awareness and know how to abuse cloak MWD warps to get around. I do all my PvP and PvE in lowsec, with the exception of trading which I dabble in on occassion, but I'm terribad at that so it barely counts.

sorry for doublepost, but I wanted to address this quickly. Lowsec isn't for you then, although it *can* serve as a training area for small scale combat. You learn a lot pretty quickly out there, but you don't want to linger there. The real place for you is probably w-space. Null combat is *extremely* meaningful, but from what I've heard all the CTAs and blobbing does make it feel that your part in the conflict is very small. W-space combat on the other hand is intense. It's you against your neighbors, and a single kill can yield you half a billion isk against many w-space corps. The money incentives are high, and you will often need to defend your space.

Mostly because Nullsec is exactly that, with much better rewards.

EvE is game about space ships, and the tactics, weapon systems you use when flying in space. And to OUTSMART/GANK/BLOB/ ABUSE your way to victory with linked alts, falcons etc and dual boxing in pew pew. But all this is only scratching on the surface when it comes shooting other pilots in space.

Also the deceivingly simple task of chosing modules for your ship to fulfill a role or be able to pull off a special tactic .

The purpose of EvE is to do whatever it takes to keep you in space ships.


There is also the market if you are the spreadsheets guy. In the market everything is pvp.


Then we have the meta game (trollfest advanced covert activity, infiltration and spying and outright Social engineering Real time on Vent, TS. you decide. However you will only see it if you start interacting with real people not red Xs and sitting in station spinning your ship or changing hardeners for your mission.


this game is indeed very boring if you get stuck in the L4-->buy plex loop.


Be creative. Be BOLD pilot and stay Bold.

for about one year I did missioning only. I then joined a wormhole corp, got a taste for pvp and eve has only gotten more fun since that. Could not stress enough how important pvp is to your overall eve experience

Get out of hisec now. This sov warfare you are talking about, so find a sov holding nullsec alliance to join. At this point, you can't claim you need better skillpoints, since you can be useful if all you can fly is a noobship with a point on it.

Which alliance/corp you choose is really up to you, but some thing you would want to look at are: ship replacement/reimbursement (do they do it, and to what extent), do they actively fight for sov ( hi AAA), joining requirements ( please don't try getting into goons without an SA account), what timezone are they (being US and flying with russians could make for alot of bad timers), and overall character (if you hate goons, pretty much every cfc alliance is out.)

I would recommend looking at cfc corps, 99% corps in particular but its up to you and where you feel you will fit in the best.

This is the real answer.

Buy yourself 100 fitted frigates and put your application in.

How can you be bored if you never tried PvP? Seriously, until you've done that, you can't say you are bored. If Eve has one thing right, it's the PvP mechanics. Go blow up some ships, yours or theirs. It is far from boring, at least in the beginning.

Tbh there is no point in even remotely trying to help the OP.

People like the OP are the reason most of eve still fits 3 overdrives and 2 polycarbons with a sebo to there ceptors, because they have no free thinking and constantly need to be told what to aim for, where to go and what to do. Like right now hes asking us what he can do and saying there is no PvP. There is plenty to do PvE wise besides missions and mining, scan lowsec/nullsec plexes and go run them, feel the pleasure of knowing if you are not careful you die. PvP is everywhere, its not hard to find.

Just unsub, you are a lost, useless and risk adverse carebear that will never change.
