Hello all,

I need some inspiration about what to do...

Long ago I used to enjoy running missions, complexes and ratting, solo and with corp-mates but I found myself jaded by the experience and after a significant change of circumstances I gave Eve a break. What started out as a short rest has turned into several releases and now that I’m back I find so much has changed. I kept my training going throughout so I’m a pretty capable pilot and I have a stable of half decent ships and tonnes of gear so I’m not really starting again from scratch and don’t actually need anything apart from direction.

RL cannot be ignored and I find it difficult to commit ahead of time for fear of not being at home, let alone available. I understand this limits my options and historically I’ve avoided any position where I might let someone down. So now I’m back and wanting to make my SP work for my pleasure and enjoyment but I’m not sure what to do.

I’m sure there are some mature players out there who might have a few constructive suggestions and I would like to hear them if you’ll share!

Thanks very much for reading, I look forward to being inspired!

Join a 0.0 corporation, preferably part of a large block, and get involved in their fleets, start out as a tackler work your way up.
The majority of such corporations have new player programs, free tackle frigates and reimbursement programs, as well as fully upgraded systems for ratting in, and typically something is always going on at any given time of the day.

It's polar opposite from your experiences so far, but you will be getting involved in real communities of players and this alone is more likely to keep you pushing that login button.

Stupid me, I read impersonation required. Ugh

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Null sec corp with covert ops missions in wh space. It's like gambling. Real loses, real tension. I'm a industrial alt for a future covert bomber.

This. Mastering WHs will take you a while, and it will keep your interest riveted. You can likely roll out ships and equipment that your continued training regimen has provided you which you probably don't know anything about.

That'll be fun.

There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.

So, it looks like 0.0 is the place to go. Any suggestions on the move? Should I sell everything and move with cash or hope to make some more ISK by selling when I get there, if I get there ;o)?

We have a freighter service to move your stuff and we always need more tacklers. All you need is 500 mil and apply to us.

Move to lowsec solo and just mess around there getting to know locals and the area in general, it's been great fun for me. :-)

I disagree

Are you falsely representing yourself as a Goon recruiter and attempting to mislead this individual?
