Look up some cheap pvp fits for frigates.
Buy some frigates.
Fly them. Try pvp. You might like it.

Want to mine? Mining frigates and cruisers. If you don't like it, don't buy a barge.

Try manufacturing, and market trading. Dabble! Try things! You can have fun at low SP!

Hey.

I've been playing eve for a few months now, got around 5.5m skills, nicely fitted caldari navy raven what is able to tank almost every lvl 4 security mission without without shield going under 95%(I've been doing missions A LOT)....and Im getting bored like hell Straight

Missions are too easy for me, but Im kinda scared of PVP because of I'm not that skilled yet, and I'd never be able to get CNR with similar fit back......I wanted to try mining, but I'd need shitload of skilling for that...Been running missions with corp but thats even more boring than running em solo.

Any suggestions what I could do? Like I said I'm pretty much focused on pve, I have decent skills for that..but nothing exciting, 5,5m skills isnt much...I dont really know if I should continue.


dude join some corp that does pvp all the time for fun. There are many like those. RvB can be a good change. Maybe you are stuck in a corp/alliance that is no fun for you. People like different things in EVE. Some people like the to chill others drama and there is always those that like to be in the line of fire. In eve there is a "market" for everything. Think what you like and then do it. If you dont know then try pvp. RvB seems to me to be a very fun atmosphere, so if i were you, i would give it a shot.

Sell your CNR, seriously.
This ship is an abomination and makes you a bad and clueless pilot.
Warp in, stand still, spam missiles until everything is dead.
No wonder that you got bored, consider this a good sign.
Fly other ships, cheaper ships, ships that you will actually have to pilot to achieve anything. Train gunnery skills.
If the CNR is so expensive that you won't risk to lose it, then it is clearly the wrong ship for you and prevents you from having fun.
Maybe try an other, more dynamic race?
Like you, I started the game as Caldari (well, everyone went with Achura back in those days, but that's a different story) but switched over to Minmatar within the first weeks of my Eve life, when I realized that immobile missile spamming Draeks and CNRs are not really my idea of engaging spacefights.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Excitement of pvp includes:

1. Sitting in station for a long time waiting for your pvp fleet to get organized.
2. Flying around a lot
3. Sitting at a gate for a long time
4. Finding a target while the FC on teamspeak barks an order to do something but you are too slow to do it and the target is dead by the time you figure it out.
5. Finding a target who shoots you first because you are the one in the tackle ship because that's all you can do yet.
6. Running from the fight that you find because they have more logi than you do.
7. Camping in a big fleet at a gate and shooting what comes through it in a busy system like fish in a barrel.
8. Getting in a huge blob fleet and waiting, waiting, waiting.

Oh, yes, pvp is nothing but excitement.

Your options are:

1. Be successful at something that bores you to tears. Six months from now: still successful; still bored.

2. Suck for a while at something that's actually fun. Six months from now: still having fun; might have learned a thing or two.

Two options within #2:

1. Do PvE where you're threatened by other players. Rat in low, null; do radar and mag sites in low and null. Try the pirate epic arcs. Try taking normal missions from pirate agents.

2. Join FW. Contrasting it from RvB: FW is in lowsec, systems aren't so polluted with neutrals that your dscan is useless, you can fight across a huge battlefield (four regions in Amarr-Minmatar space) instead of in three systems, you have fights of a scale that can ever fall between 'arranged 1v1'...'enormous why-am-I-even-here blob', the environment comes with its own activities (system occupancy plexing, FW missions) that encourage you to be in space and run into the enemy, the environment is interesting: you have good reason to remember the names of systems, the names of enemy corps (that guy... probably has backup, which is probably a falcon). Of FW plexing: I was once in a gang of tier 3 BCs and faction BSes that failed to take a system because, while we shot the bunker, the Minmatar kept seizing ship-restricted plexes with thrashers and T1 cruisers - and we couldn't ship down in numbers enough to fight them.

I second exploration and wormholes. Lots of fun actually and you may run into some PVP while doing it.

Despite my posting prowess I really am terrible at this game

Step out of the safety zone.

Create a jump clone, put some +3s into it, and start investigating the possibility of the game outside of hi-sec level 4s.

Sine your alternative is to quit, you have literally nothing to lose.

Start with a bunch of frigs for PvP. Go out, die a few times (or a lot if your like me), and try to figure out what works.

This.

I'm usually an incurable PvP type person in every game I play, as I was when I started Eve, until I discovered that some areas of PvE in eve can actually be fun. Not because of how difficult it is to kill the digital dragons, but because the obstacles you are overcoming are provided by other players.

This is why I raid wormholes in unnecessarily expensive T3s, it's probably the only form of PvE in any game I've ever found entertaining.

*I probably wouldn't advise you start out in shiny stuff though, learn mechanics first etc.

If troll just quit, if not i wish you all best in game because EvE is worth to play, in fact this game is amost 10 year old but this game still live even with low amount of subscribers EvE wont die and this mean EvE is good, meny other mmo just die in short period after relase but this wont happen to EvE, maybe take break... i play amost 5 years long, last time i made 4 month break because i was bored to, remember you are part of comunity even you if you are casual or hardcore carebear you are part of EvE.

Ps. Look at this link.

Train Minmatar Frigs and related gun skills, Enter low sec in an empty pod and spend the next 3 months dying in a fire and getting blobbed. Inbetween this things you will have some fun and maybe even kill some ****.

Incursions. Level 5 missions. Try PvPing in a ship that isn't a CNR. There's lots of stuff to do. There's even this handy flowchart.

I would to thank you for this perfect example of someone who has no idea how to pvp and/or is in an awful corp/alliance. It's really hard to find examples as sublime as this one is nowadays. Believe me, I will not let this piece of work go to waste. Your post will make for a fantastic teaching tool for new recruits for quite some time.

Again (and I believe I can speak for the entire community when I say this),
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Join the militia or go to lowsec and pvp in what you can afford to lose. Somewhere around your 10th frigate death you'll start to get a handle on it.
