EVE New Citizens Q&A

So I have been playing Eve for a little while and I have a few issues first of all I have been mining and its boring me to death but I am not sure of a way to make it more exciting and it's took me to the brink of quitting eve and second I am in a corp that is very unhelpful and it's not making the game any fun. I have almost 4 million skill points. I would love to to do pvp but who knows

I am kind of in the same boat. I have mined enough to bring my bank close to 1 billion and now I figure I have enough bank to venture out and do something else. What that something else will be? Not sure yet. I have trained up a tone of drone skills so maybe grab a drone boat like a myrm or a domi and go mission? Buy a pile of cheap frigs and go into lo-sec?

I am very much so in the same boat as you and not sure which direction to take. Not sure what a solo pilot with drone skills can do though. I have minimal turret skills (enough to fit them) and no missile or rocket skills. So I am pretty much only able to use drones in whatever else I decide to do.

Lilliana's advice is rather direct but it's not wrong... though I won't necessarily say never mine again, but if you find it that boring maybe you shouldn't. But, if your corp isn't doing anything for you, then you should leave and find a better one.

What Lilliana Stelles said.

Quit the corp and find one that's more to your liking, if you want some cheap PvP experience then I would suggest looking into Red vs Blue (mostly cruisers and smaller, they don't teach as such but are generally very helpful, as a rule they don't pod each other either), or Brave Newbies (who seem to be having a blast exploding hilariously in cheap ships and who will fight pretty much anybody). If you have isk to burn look into Agony Unleashed who run PvP courses for the discerning capsuleer.

Eve Uni are a well regarded cover it all Eve training corp, although their application process can be tedious, you'll find their graduates in every sector of space.

If you want to indulge in the darker side of Eve, take a look through the Crime and Punishment subforum, you'll find a lot of people in there who are willing to take on PvP virgins and former carebears (like myself) and show them the dark side, they also have blackjack and hookers (jk), one word of advice if you go down this path, don't fly anything too expensive, somebody will relieve you of it, they're nice guys, but trust them with your stuff about as far as you can spit them.

If the PvP isn't to your liking look into other areas of Eve, Incursions are still an isk printer, even after the nerf, so is faction warfare, wormholes are huge fun with the right crowd, the PvE is tough but very profitable, and the PvP tougher still if you decide to engage and not POS up.

If you have a bunch of drone skills then train gallente frig up to 4 or gallente/amarr destroyer up to 4 and take either a tristan, dragoon or algos out to faction warfare space for some cheap pvp.

Fw space is the training grounds for pvp and filled with solo-ists. Not that you won't also get blob'd or run into off grid boosted "heros" but that is how it goes. Get out there in a light weight drone boat and have fun

Hey lovely persona, you know that I'm a sleep then...

As for OP. I see 2 issues in your post:

1. If you dont like the corp....leave them and look for something else.

2. If you dont like mining....then dont mine. If you like to PvP then find a group that lets you PvP.

It's a myth that you need a lot of ISK to PVP. I started getting into serious PVP when I had just about 20 million ISK. The corporation that I was in started doing Faction Warfare.

One of the most experienced and richest pilots in my corp does most of his PVP in T1 fitted Atron frigates worth less than 1.5 million each.
