There are a few items that wont drop at all. Like sentry drones. So you have to be picky that ship you want to fly. I would take an apoc and run for amarr to get a navy apoc because it provides a reasonable effective damage in missions. Some faction items require tags what means you have to run missions against factions. So sisters is a bad idea.


I like the SoE because they're "neutral". I don't want to side with a single empire as that might lock me out of others, and I like the freedom of going where I want.

After the Tiericide T1 lineup is quite viable and I was aiming for the Abaddon as BS because I like the straightforwardness of it. As for the "endgame" I was thinking about Blood Raiders specific ships(I should be able to get BPCs as drops from their sites... eventually - and they require only minerals to build).

I know that Blood Raider ships are the bads(other than Bhaalgorn) but hey, by the time I will be actually able to get and fly them, maybe they'll get gently caressed by Fozzie...


Currently this project is planned for after the summer update, so there's no rush.

Call it challenge. Call it sociopathy. Don't ask why.

The rules are: You can rely only on yourself and the game itself to do... well, anything. So you cannot joing player corps. Or fleets. Or, most importantly, trade with other players. Or accept things from them. If you want something, you either get it yourself(from enemies/NPCs), make it yourself, or forget about it.

In most MMOs these rules result in minor inconvenience at best, but in EVE where 99% of the stuff on the market is player-made, it's a big friggin problem. I am trying to identify what framework do I have to work with with these limitations. Pretty much everything T2 seems to be out of the question, for example - I could invent it myself, but I couldn't get the required moongoo-based materials. Unless there is a way to get them that I do not know of?

And this is where you come in. It's not my first day in EVE but I am no way an expert on the game and there might be ways around I am simply not familiar with. For example, I've heard you can get some really random crap from exploration sites but I've never done exploration myself and I have little idea what that random crap is.

Feedback most welcome. Just imagine that, starting tommorow, you cannot buy anything from the Market. How would your EVE life look like then and how would you adjust?

(I apologize for posting this in New Citizens Q&A as I am not a "New Citizen" and this is quite obviously an alt. But I feel if I have any gameplay-related question they should be here as a) any passing-by New Citizen may read them and learn something and b) lol GD is for reading, not for posting)


I think this idea is insane. You'll never get anywhere. You'll never get the materials and blueprints to manufacture this stuff yourself, and you'll rage quit long before you will accomplish anything of notable measure.

I would abandon this course of action as quickly as possible and start enjoying what this game offers: the necessity to participate in a society of internet spaceship pilots who must exchange with one another whether they like it or not.

You'll figure it out soon enough. The market exists for a reason. Play Diablo III if you want to grind for items.
Eve is just not designed for someone who wants to play this way.

Self nerf = pure frustrating boredom.

"you either get it yourself(from enemies"

How about forcing another player to eject from their ship by ransom?


Ransoming another player = player interaction and thus not allowed.


This idea BLOWS then.

Seriously guys, I know this is EVE forums and all, but causing other people misery isn't the only way to interact with them.

You will need a lot of loot or null sec access to get the high end minerals for production.

I applaud your idea and it IS a hard one, but I doubt you will manage it to play totally solo.


Quite apart from the Wormhole Option, he might get lucky with losec grav sites, and he should have standings in Provi.

In fairness, I wasn't trying to troll you. I was simply pointing out that you have picked the wrong game to try to solo. It just won't work. Trying to fit a ship that you manufactured with nothing but drops sounds like a huge pain in the posterior region.

If you do give this a run, however, I want to know how it works out. Good luck!
