EVE New Citizens Q&A

I typically live where most of my activities take me, in this case my manufacturing. I keep most of my stuff in a single station, but then again most of it is going to stay there permanently.

It really just depends on what you want to do, missions will generally make your home mission hubs, manufacturing is best in stations with factorizes in them and not a lot of other players to compete with so you will generally make your home in a low population system. Exploration generally doesn't lend it self well to homes unless you stay in a particular area or a wh. And 0.0 tends to be whatever home your alliance has.

As for recommended homes:

Highsec low skilled PVE - Simela
Highsec high skilled PVE - Apanake
Trading in high - Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens or Hek
Lowsec - Solitude region

This character lives in Cloud Ring, my alliance holds sov there. But coalition level logistics mean we can deploy pretty much anywhere, and I've barely been 'home' in the past year. Go where the fights are

I live where my crop lives - Amarr/Minmatar faction warfare low sec. Been living there since my account was 2 weeks old. For some time Balshem (this is an alt - I just started to use forums with it and never bothered to change) used to live near Amarr high sec capital, but I moved him to FW space to help my main with missions.

Balshem lived in high sec long enough to do some level 3 missions, because beginnings in eve can be frustrating.

If you want to plan your next move based on other players experience - best way for a newbie would be to join a good educational corp that does stuff you want to do, and move in with them. This way you get tons of info and training. The place really isn't important. If your corp guarantees they will show you a way to make money in null sec with when your account is 1 day old - sure, go ahead and join them.

PS - I did initially leave my all high sec assets in the newbie system. People who distrust strangers live longer ;-)

I had a "home" for the first two years I played. Moved all my stuff everytime I went somewhere else.

Then it just became too much. At the same time, more and more of it was located outside high-sec.

I now have stuff all over the place. I jump around the "shiny" ships I'm very familiar with. The stuff and ships I acquire during a certain stay just remains wherever it is. Ready for the next time I'm visiting.

I'm predominantly an industrialist, so my main 'home' is where I manufacture/invent, etc. Most of my stuff's there. There's secondary homes in a mining system (haven't been there in weeks), in a couple of mission-running systems, at a nearby trading hub and a couple of other places.

I dislike having stuff scattered across the galaxy, so periodically I'll go on a consolidation exercise and reduce the number of stations I have stuff in.

Mostly I live in Wormhole space.

When I'm in HS I have two PVE hubs where there's a navy domi waiting for me.
I also have a fairly large amount of my assets in Amarr, because I like that market hub.

Oh, I have about 10-15 PVP ships at the edge of a FW (faction warfare) lowsec with a jump clone in case I want to play around in lowsec.

My POS keeps me warm at night

To the OP, this is an easy question to answer. Do what you do, and where you stuff ends up call home.

right there *points*

I try to consolidate my stuff in a single place in equidistance to the spots I regularly do stuff in. Doesn't always work though.
