Hi EVE Forum

I can shot down other pilots I've never meet, never had any problems with.
Or I can do an activity thats about isk/hour.

But I cant find any high end PvE progression.
This game is PvE aswell.
Im I missing something.

I can raise fraction.
And status.

And what else are there that cant be bought for isk?
I got isk. Oh.. I got Isk. I can buy anything.
Not fun any more.

Is it something out there that cant be bought with isk?

I'll see your fraction and raise you a Cartesian coordinate

Shooting enemy faction ships, Incursions, Escalations , Wormhole Sites, level 5's bring friends.

You can spend LP in the LP store for faction gear, clone facility access with rep, If you don't go with Estel Arador Corp Services.

"Themepark" "Sandbox", these do not mean what you think they mean, EvE is as on rails as a freight train, and has as many attractions as Disneyland, but soundbites are easy, thinking is not.

Yes, Creativity.

Sorry.

This game is not "PvE as well",
because to say that makes no sense.

This game is a PvP game with PvE elements in it.


In your specific context you do not seem to understand what EVE is about.

See, your progress is self made. There is no one guiding you onwards to becoming a hero.
No. In this game, you're the same ****** loser like everyone else,
unless you manage to reach internet spaceship fame and richness.

And I do not mean richness from being a greedy carebear who does nothing
but farm easy NPCs for ISK and being proud of his non-achievement.


I mean richness from people throwing money at you,
because they love what you do and want you to keep going.


You know ... a real internet spaceship achievement.

People do level 4 missions in frigates.

I've tried it but in EVE you will find the PvE cheats quite bad.

One thing I have never had an issue with is finding content that is not ISK/hr primed. Most of it isn't. Try running level 4 courier missions. 100% of them take you in or through low sec entry systems and the reward is 10% of a level 3 mission. There is plenty of pointlessly hard to do in EVE.

I wonder if the OP is related to long duk?

How big is this box you are referring given this game is time-gated. I'd like to hop in a covert ops frig and go explore -- 18 days later. I'd like to hop in a battleship -- xyz days later. I'd like to run a wh solo --300 days later. SandGated. I like the ring to it.

Yes. Intelligence.

Do things to say and do them, not for the ISK. Donate the ISK to new players. Start a Twitch stream. Make some videos to inspire others. Don't make the game about ISK, make it about experiences. Turn up your graphics, go full screen, put on your favorite Space opera, and get out there and just explore. Take and share screenshots. Go into wormholes. Traverse infamous systems out in low and nullsec - just to say you've been there.

Even better, find and mentor new players, helping them to achieve their goals in this game, make friends and feel good about yourself in the process.

EvE can be and often is as much of a social experience as it is a gaming experience. Many are the hours that I have sat in stations while having interesting and educational conversations with players from around the world.

If you are into missions then experiment with them.
Try level 3's in a cheap T1 frigate fit.
Try lvl 4's in an assault frigate.
Log your missions and every time you run one you have done before try doing it a slightly different way to see how it affects the outcome.

As others have mentioned simply jump in a ship and go explore areas of EvE you have never been to before.

Try PI.

One of the biggest challenges in this game might be starting and running a successful player corp.
Finding and keeping good players and all of the rest that goes along with running a corp can add a new level of challenge to the game.
