-training for using cruise missiles, have to wait aditional hours/days for that because light -> heavy

-cannot make clone jumping because training, cannot sacrifice my main clone because +4 atribute implants

-dont wanna mine, have been doing it for weeks while in empire space

-dont wanna do lvl 3 missions, i want to do lvl 4s but i need the skill

-pi planets in production 1 day left for harvesters to finish, and launchpads arent full yet.

-have a cloaky tackling frigate, cannot use it in low sec effectively because im a noob at PvP and because the clone has implants i cannot afford ATM. (bought them with LPs)

-exploration in high sec is pathetic and time consuming

basically im "fun jammed", i cannot do anything due to skill training or isk problems. dont want to do more grinding but i cant do PvP because of expensive implants. any ideas in what can i do?

Scam. Cook up something inventive, and see who bites.

Or, bump miners, and laugh at their shrieks of rage.

Or, setup shop near a trade hub, and start selling info on freighters that you cargo scan as they pass by. (seriously, this is so addictive. It's one step from wanting to know what they've got in their cargo holds, to wanting to have what they've got in there.)

Find yourself a good corp that run fleets. Everything in EVE is more fun with friends.

i have been in fleet with some alliance comrades, but that was in null, we had to retreat due to invasions since the space we were using was other alliance property and well they were in a bad situation and couldnt defend their space. we're currently in a reestructuration, mostly dissolving the alliance and fusing all corps in one.

as for me im training for missiles just so i can be better at missions, i have a BS fitted for L4s but need to wait for filling it with ammo.

i would go on roams with the corp but i dont have the isk to buy implants if i get killed or the time for grinding those LPs again. if i jump clone i extend the training time and i need to get the skills quickly so i can finish focusing in my PI skills...

1. Join RvB , pvp for all no matter your SP... you'll lose some ships but you won't get podded and you might make some friends too.

This game is about choices, you have pigeon holed yourself with all of your choices, something has to give.

Why can't you explore in Low or Null?

There is a lot of different things to do within EVE. If you don't enjoy what you do at the moment then I suggest you find something else. Before I ran level 4's I used my level 3 Battlecruiser to help my corpmates run level 4's in a group. I wasn't much good but it was fun. If your current corp has fallen to pieces then I say you find a new one.

IF you can't find anything within the boundaries of EVE that you enjoy then I'm afraid this may not be the game for you.

Get in a Rifter. Head to Low Sec and hunt. Look for miners, missioners, afk scrubs and ransom. ALWAYS honor your ransoms
Trust me once you get a taste Eve becomes like Crack. **** care bears, null sec fa#@!try, or being someones *****.

You can join Red vs Blue.

It is fun PvP that is great for starters, you will learn alot and you won't lose your implants because there is a "no-podding" policy.

And besides that, its like almost impossible to lose a pod in hi-sec. Just spam warp on celestial when you are in structure and you will escape instantly after.

I really see no reason why RvB wouldn't work for you.

This is brilliant. ^

You could also gank in HiSec - Chances of losing a pod are rather low. Possible, but that only adds spice to it, eh? Twisted

Explore in low and null sec, it's much more stressing and valuable and altogether more fun.

Alternatively you may jump in a cheap frigate and set course for deep null sec and just see what happens, it can be quite an adventure.

You could also jump into a cheap but well armed frigate, loot some random wreck to get a suspect timer (which allows anyone to freely attack you without concord intervention) and place yourself at a gate in high sec and wait for someone to attack you and obviously give you the right to fight back. I've had much fun with that.. sometimes you get wtfpwned and sometimes you get some funky kills because people underestimate you.

In any case, you may as well screw those implants you got as you aren't going to have any fun if you constantly have to worry about losing them. Rip it out and accept you will get popped, and that replacement clones are fortunately quite cheap ^-^

Spend this time learning to extract your pod at the end of a fight gone wrong in low sec, so that you can spend less time later worrying about implants.

Train Infomorph Psychology to level one, utilizing a painful 8 or so minutes of your life, and go get a jump clone somewhere.

Alternatively, take Litair's suggestion and remove them yourself.

Chances are you will do none of these, because worrying about implants is the hallmark of the risk averse.

Ummm... having cruise missiles trained will not solve boredom. It will only serve to aggravate and increase said boredom.

That thing in your head. No, not the +4s, the thing you've grafted them onto.

Use it.
