I last played in 2010, and now I'm nearly done downloading the client and getting my old account going again. I have 38 million isk, a couple of Drakes and a bunch of mining and transport ships.

What would you guys recommend I get into? I don't know what I have all missed in the past 3 years of Eve.

Thanks

You might try Erotica 1's bonus room.

Then you'll either have more stuff to play with or quit for another three years.

I guess FW is better now than it was three years ago...I think...beyond that it's more or less the same soup reheated.

I would recommend that you first get into a face, and then a real corp.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Step 1. Buy your mining permit.

^This guy knows his stuff.

+1 to you good sir.

What kind of ship would you recommend for Caldari for running missions?

OP, you could try out exploration (lots of changes) and incursions (fun and lots of isk).

if you can get into battleships, then a raven, later upgraded to a nRaven. will suffice, even with meta4 launchers. torps still suck, but Cruise missiles are very nice now on lvl4s.

if you only have medium missile training and Cald cruiser V you can get into a Cerberus. its pretty good now, and you can use it to blitz lvl3 missions, which will net you slightly more ISK/h than lvl4s (if you can find a station/system with 2 lvl3 agents). and with the next expansion you can do them even faster due to faster warp speeds.

other than those two, and the Tengu, Caldari is pretty lackluster.


btw, the cerberus will also allow you to do highsec exploration. with some good skills and HAMs, you can make some good money. the problem is the probing, but that problem is somewhat gone now with the next expansion and the refitting depot. (you will still need some good probing skills to compensate for the lack of scan bonus on the hull.)

Keep an eye out for EVE-sponsored events. They're a hoot.

I can see why you say it sucks now... I couldn't undock mine without stripping some stuff off. Ugh

First thing you should probably do is read through the patch notes and any dev blogs that sound interesting to you. It could save you many surprises.

Also looking through the expansion feature pages can give you a good over all picture of what's been changed:
