Hello,

I am a "returning player". I used to play EVE, 2 or 3 years ago. Just for sh*ts and giggles I reactivated my account. I find the character I am currently posting with, somewhat over 3million skillpoints and a fair number of certificates that should allow me to fight with the most basic level of abilities. Electronics/Engineering/Frigates/Cruisers, all level 5, so that helps. Something like 500 million ISK in the bank and a single equipped Kestrel in the dock. Most of my RL knowledge about the game is gone, though.

I don't care about making money, I don't care about dying, I don't care about a whole lot actually. I won't be playing this for whole afternoons at a time, I simply don't have the time due to RL stuff. I do want to go and pewpew.

Is factional warfare the right thing to do to accomplish this? I like shooting stuff, but I don't want to have to fly for half an hour before I find a single target and neither do I feel like getting insta-shotted by big ships all the time, it's only frigates and cruisers for me for now...

Yes it is a good choice. A better one would be to join Red vs Blue if you just want to shoot at people in easy mode.

Personally I like FW combat more than RvB, there's just more variety and you get more small skirmish fights with fewer than 5 or 6 involved parties. Plus I have a disdain for the station games (on one of the respective HQs) that RvB tends to gravitate towards when there isn't a fleet out. Plus in FW you get cheap faction frigs and cruisers!

Bank, as in, bankrupt?

Which faction to join. Probably Caldari, seeing as I am caldari myself. I'm going to join one of the militias tonight!
