Thanks for the replies, lots of good information here for us.

She is not really into pvp all that much, but one thing that we do enjoy is exploration. It seems like 9/10 sites you find are wormholes so what the hell, we'll start there.

Being two low skilled and knowledge challenged individuals, is going into wormholes worthwhile at all?

As a team, what the hell do we do when we get into one?

Thanks.



Until you can both fly battlecruisers and have the skills for a tech 2 tank, and can afford to lose both your BC and your pod, do not go into a wormhole.

Jump into a C1 with your battle cruisers and you won't have problems tanking the rats. They don't scramble so if you are in trouble just warp out. Bring a salvager module fitted if you want to make isk.
Run your ship scanner and warp to an anom. Perimeter Camps are easy enough for two low skilled BCs

Probably a Manticore will be stalking you cloaked so when the site is close to be cleared be ready for a good fight. Or maybe not.
If you get killed don't get mad and open a covo with your killers asking for more detailed info about wspace and you will have a good chat, and probably you will make new friends.

Wspace is EvE

The answer is simple. If you plan to do missions together, then be in fleet, one of you takes the mission. Then you do it, and split the rewards when the one of you, who took the mission, reports on its completion.

Edit: starter missions and epic arcs will have to be done for each of your chars, but you can still split cash and standings rewards.


Perhaps I am too machevelian, but I think his time is better spent getting his vagina-module fit partner to infiltrate juicy target corps and use said feminine wiles to achieve director-level access faster than a peen-module fit player can.

Then issue a war dec and use her to feed real-time location updates of players and fleets, or even lead a fleet to their doooooom...

Ahem...or you could just fleet-up & blast rocks together in an asteroid belt...

Would you like to know more?

There is nothing more romantic then running contract scams in Jita, or perhaps take her out miner bumping.

I feel like this should be funny but the apparent sarcasm is lost on me Shocked

In any case, thanks for the suggestions.

We're having trouble enjoying this game together in the way that we generally enjoy....pretty much any other game.

Missions are boring as hell, mining makes me want to smash my monitor into the wall, and we've been told not to bother entering wormholes.

I just bought and sold a plex thing, perhaps now I can have fun with some cheap frigates.

We're trying hard to enjoy this game.

Oh definitely, a plex should give you enough ISK to fit, roughly, 50-60 t1 frigates for PvP (including T2 guns, tank etc) just be prepared to lose lots of them until you get the hang of things.

Its actually a very realistic scenario which can be both good and bad depending on who you ask. For me personally i would advice against it purely because im a bit tired of females "abusing" their...well power over men just to get what they want without having to work for it. But thats just me, and i know many (both men and females) have no issues with this, and it is EVE after all Big smile

I noticed your still in an NPC corp which means that your both still trying to play EVE on your own. I have already said earlier in this thread that being able to play EVE as a couple turned out pretty badly for my better half and my self, and i stand by that.

So my advice is that you both try to find a corp that you can both enjoy, get involved with more people and stop thinking that you have to "play" the game together. Believe it or not but just being in the same corp will open up a lot of options, amusing discussions about the game, allow you both to try more things and the freedom to play together when you feel like it or split up and go and do seperate things with corp members.
You cant force your self, or anyone else to like EVE, and chanses are high that you wont like doing the same things all the time, and if you really want to keep playing EVE this is something you both have to accept and adapt to. EVE is not like other games were you "play" together, but at the core you both play the same game so in a sense you still do play togeher (its very hard to explain).

So short version.. Do things seperatly, small chat about that awesome new ship you got, or how well her character turned out, discuss skills, try to decide on a corp or just involve your self in random conversations in local were you both can participate. Just because she is mining and your doing missions it dosent mean that you cant be "together" Smile

I understand what you are trying to do Happiesgoeslucky and there are only a few activities that I can think of that will bring about that feeling of cooperative play.


  • Doing harder missions together is one way to do it but, as you have pointed out, running missions isn't for everyone since it can be viewed as boring.
  • Incursions is something you may wish to look into. Together you can do the smaller incursion sites.
  • Factional Warfare is another option in that regard. There are small sites that you can run together.
  • Exploration: go into the quieter regions of space. There are two of you so you can take more chances like going into low sec and even 0.0.
  • Wormholes: ignore anyone that says don't go. Go. Try it out. If you blow up it is part of the experience and you get stories from it.


Beyond these activities I can't think of many other options for cooperative play at a small scale level.
