EVE General Discussion

Even if you don’t enjoy pvping yourself, there is nothing stopping you funding others to achieve a goal for you. Use it to finance your own merc corp – take the initial costs of reimbursing the pilots working for you until you get enough rep to get paid enough to offset costs, and snowball it up. Find something that suits your own ethos – if your aversion to pvp is due to not liking “ruining” other peoples day, you could specialise in security for industrialists, if you don’t have such aversion, well, protection racketeering is very profitable . Do the similar thing, but in NPC null and try to work your group into the soverignty game.

Some of the top guys in Eve barely pvp themselves, instead managing the infrastructure of their organisation, and ensuring the guys who do fight can keep fighting. And every one of them had to start somewhere.

Now you need to go to meta gaming - create corporation, or join one. Strategise what could you do. Maybe settle in one region and control it? maybe make something new, like Planetary interaction? How about espionage?

Or simply connect with DUST 514 on PS3, or simply fly by the planet and bombard them

Well, if you have enough isk, then I would set up a small corporation of fighters and send them around taking down low sec POS structures and POCO's and then build your own in their place and profit. I'm sure you won't have any problem finding people willing to fight for you if you provide the combat ships for them.

What and where have you done pve? Hard to see what the issue is when you don't give us info. We don't know if you have done pve in all areas of space or just done level 4's in highsec. What I can say though is there is no point in having lots of money and nothing to spend it on.

Can i have your stuff pls

The provided PVE is punishment for losing at PVP.
All fun content is player created.
Find a player group creating content you enjoy and join it.
eve PVP is more than just shooting.
a lot of traders indulge in market PVP.
others hire mercs to take out local competitors.
basically you need to stop playing solo and find some way to interact and affect other peoples play (usually but not always in a negative way).
Even in spaceship PVP there is a ton of variety from ganking miners to haulers.
high sec mercs /war deccers.
RvB.
Fleet warfare (PVE and PVP combined).
low sec /wh/null sec site running
low sec solo/small gang pirate PVP
NPC null small/medium gang PVP
sov null huge fleet PVP/structure grinding

anyway experiment and find what you enjoy. you may surprise yourself.

Just start mining fuggit.

Mulling over all the suggestions, currently leaning towards making a new char and 'grinding it out' all over again or creating a massive trading hub in null...

Donation will go out when I decide which.. unless there's an even greater suggestion =P

I think one question I have is, exactly how much do you think is "a ton of ISK"?
How much are you willing to commit to a project, where you could lose a little, lose a lot, or maybe become space rich?

Well you can do what i do, i try help rookies, new players, EvE can be alot at start and things cost and a some extra isks, for promesing rookies, helps them alot to get started early, espechially if they want to pvp...

CAS is a npc corporation, but CAS is bascailly player run, and we organice alot of activities, one of them is fighting in Null, so while i dont fight that much, i lend a hand and some iskies to promesing rookies and send them down to null...

You cant help them all, but a selected few, helps, beside, its nice to be nice ;P
