EVE New Citizens Q&A

Well, I just resubbed and decided I wanted to give the game another go (it seems like a yearly thing for me) for a while.
It seems like every year, I sub for a few months, play then quit. I wanted to get a fresh start and give the game a fair try again.

This time, I wanted to (because I forgot how to play) just keep my character and sell all my assets, move to a new area and start over in a new frigate.

So, any suggestions on where I should go to to start over? prefer highsec until I get the swing of things. I don't even remember what ships I can fly. Battlecrusiers maybe I think. I know I had a cane and a drake along with a myrm.
I was fairly close to a hulk as well (8-10 days).

I just want to drop everything take my (meager) amount of space monies and start over somewhere else. Relearn the game and get back into the swing of things.


Thanks for reading/suggestions.

Good point.
Oh well, thanks anyway!

I just want to start mission running again to ease back into the game, I don't know exactly where I am but its close to Jita (15 maybe 20 jumps).

I would like to find a nice quiet mission hub and just start all over again, I got a lot of assets to sell if I remember right. so I should be set for a while as far as starter frigate and maybe a salvage boat.

I think the reason I quit and come back so much is that I was always mining and not really having any fun. I had geared up for mission running but never started.

So I figured a "fresh start with a old character" may hold my attention this time around.

Also, if you did mining/refining before, you could also "mine" missions. By that I mean the modules you get from missions, refine the low selling mods and sell the rest. (my rulle of thumb was if it sold in Jita for 6 figure isk, then I would sell it, otherwise i would refine it) Could be enough to provide a source of mats for industry if and when you happen across a bpc while missioning.

Dodixie.
I remember that system, I am somewhere between that and Jita.

Anyway, Eve (for the most part) always seems to have the best community when it comes to getting some help.

So, I could just fly to the other factions tuts and get started again with them? Id didn't think about that.

I might check into RvB (I was in it a great deal of time ago), but faction warfare may be pretty cool, if its been revamped.

You still haven't explained what you hope to get out of moving to a new location?

Are you in low or null sec and want to move back to empire?

If you are just talking about relocating within empire space, what is wrong with missioning where you already are? Where all you gear is and where you probably have some standing with the NPC corps that give missions.

You don't need to worry about finding a 'nice quiet' mission hub. The changes to the loot and salvage tables has all but killed off ninja looting and salvaging. If someone does find their way into your mission space, just ignore them. Let them take whatever they want, it's just junk. This is only likely to happen in L4 missions anyway are very rare, I've experienced it only twice in hundreds of L4 missions.

You might want to plan ahead for the L4 agent you are eventually going to end up running missions for. Start with the corporations and check what they sell in their Loyalty point store.

Assuming high sec, pick an L4 security Agent in the lowest possible high sec (0.5 or 0.6) in a system which has no adjacent low or null sec gates, so they pay top dollar and always send you to high sec.

Now find the appropriate lower level agent and start grinding your rep to access the L4, don't forget to train Connections to at least III and ideally IV to speed that.

Don't accept opposing empire faction kill missions, cause that screws your rep with those factions and eventually makes it difficult to travel through their space. That means only accept anti-pirate/mercenary/thief/terrorist missions. It is safe to accept Storyline mission, provided they aren't faction kill missions. You do get a negative hit on other factions when you complete them, but it is smaller than the gain to the friendly factions and the negative hit is capped to prevent you dropping so low that it becomes a problem (only kill missions can take you past that cap).

Wall of text, when I still don't really know what advice you are looking for, please be more specific in future and welcome back.

Thanks everyone.

I guess I should get in game and figure out what it is that I want to do, before asking how to do it.

I may just try to find some tuts and run them again to relearn the controls and then pick up where I left off.
Once I get the hang of the game I think I am going to join the faction warfare or RvB.
I want to try getting into small time pvp.

Thanks everyone for the points/help and replies.

Doooo iiiiiit. You know you want to.
