What should i train for in this game since I already got bored of level 4 missions and battleships that do missions for me in 5-30mins.Is there anything else to in this game?You all will say pvp.I don't like ganking pvp and whenever i tried to go alone in low sec i died from gankers.All say to go for a golem but I calculated all fits against the new cnr and the difference is so low that isn't worth the 3 months training.

Or exploration. Or null and all that entails. Or randomly go industry for awhile.

You could try Red vs Blue. Or Faction Warfare. Otherwise you'll want to join a PvP gang/corp/alliance and fight with friends.

Eve isn't a game that has "balanced" pvp, i.e. there are no artificial mechanisms in place to ensure a "fair" fight.

Join faction warfare, learn how to fit and fly ships, shoot people, earn iskies, and realize what you're missing in EveO to think missioning is all there is.

wormholes: good balance of pvp and pve.

mostly.

It also gives you the new road to train into capitals, for escalations and such.

Seconded, out of all the things I've done in EvE, WHs have been the most fun.

Get into a corp that lives in lowsec or NPC 0.0 (preferable) and is willing to teach you how to PVP.

Why would you not use an alt to post on the forums?

This.

OP consider abut consolidating all your core skills and give a try to frigates pvp, you'll die a lot but whatever, it's cheapo and it's so much fun.

Pvp in T1 cruisers, those are awesome be it at delivering pain or logistics and so much fun in gangs or fleets.

In the end the main point stays: play with other people, learn to fly in groups and play your role in fleets, learn pvp basics and you'll have so much more fun than playing alone with your pimpy mission ship.

If your core skills are ok then why not give a try to Blops?-this will open to you new gaming perspectives and many corps will see your character quite attractive even if you're still learning how to use them.

FW

There are so many thing to do before you get a burn out or even after a burn out. Or just get a couple months break and get back when you feel you're ok to keep going with your regular and preferred Eve activity.

Grab a Rattlesnake and learn how to anchor/tank 40 man Incursion sites.

Your PvE to this point means nothing. Grab the big boy and go balls deep.

OR you can learn to fly a carrier. Go somewhere in Nullsec and rat your heart out and make a fortune doing so!!

Don't mind the locals they're really nice people that only look out for you best interest ...overall.Lol

_**Noob **_isn't really a status, it's the online equivalent of a 5-year old calling you a poopy fart head.

You're supposed to die, noob pvp'r .. Stick at it, join a corp and get good.. Trust me its easy to get a kill after you have had some losses, fly cheap Frigs/Dessies and yes Faction Warefare is fun.

Create an alt and send it to RVB for soem casual fun. If you want to PVP and make isk at the same time, there are many options. Small scale PVP and easy isk can be easily done in FW , does mess up you standing though so bear that in mind.
Or just go to the safest place to PVE in eve.. null sec, lots of pvp to be had also.. but mostly large blobby stuff.
Either way, join a corp and go have fun, while you can do just about everything solo in eve, its really not the most fun way, there is sooo much to do in eve I don't know how people get bored...

Null is the place to go if you want go beyond battleships, lived there for a while and it's awesome.

Although it requires some dedicated time.

Join a pvp corp, while going solo into low-sec is a lot of fun and you can manage the risks of getting ganked if you know what you are doing, you will mostly die horribly if you don't. This can be a fun way to learn but you obviously don't enjoy it, so join a corp that can teach you the ropes and so you can go on roams for gang vs gang and fleet vs fleet action.

Once you are well versed in low/nullsec game mechanics you might find you enjoy solo roaming around, but at the start there are so many mechanics to learn like: what ships do what, what are their general fits, how do gateguns act, how can I expect my ship to do against another, becoming proficient with the directional scanner, using local chat as intel, how do bubbles work, making safespots and pounces etc.

Make a frigate alt. Join RvB. Select 1 race and train Frigate skills - inside a month you have a pilot that can win the odd fight and you'll have loads of fun while learning on roams, events, fleet fights, solo fights.

Yes you are going to explode. A lot - but you will cause more expolsions, get on loads and loads of kills and enjoy looking at Killmails cos your name is on it. You will win your first solo PvP, your boat will be in structure and on fire. You will be shaking like a shitting dog while trying to loot your opponents wreck. You will feel like a king!

You will also learn some of the pvp skills you need to go it alone.

It won't be your main exploding in a faction fit, isk monster of a boat. So you won't feel bad. It'll be your alt in a 2 mil frig.

After several months you may get bored and will try FW on your alt. You will learn more PvP skills and become devious. You will then discover your under 10 mil SP alt in a Frigate has fights, fun and earns more isk than your uber skilled, faction flying, mission running main.

You will say D'Oh.

D'oh,

Raptors
