EVE New Citizens Q&A

Join faction warfare, usually find someone to fight or make lp from plexing. That or do exploration with a cov ops or nullified cloaky t3 out in null. You could move to syndicate also and try life out there.

day 1. explore in low with cov-op for 60- 90 min --> ~60-120 mil + sell the loots

day 2. fix the planets PI + experiment in fits in 3rd party software (it is also fun!) + buy 50 frigs and fits+ place courier contracts to the closer to FW space hiSec station.

day 3. blow all the ships up

repeat from day1.

I vote for Faction Warfare, i am restricted with time a lot too and it's very easy to find solo fights there, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Well you just mentioned afk mining as a goal. I guess I should add you as a target. No hard feelings.

Faction warfare might be a good fit if your impatient, and the money is good even when you don't find fights (you might need it to replace those mining ships). Griefing is also fun, and can conform to your schedule though wardecs and hunting individual targets might be out as options. PI and trade are probably better money makers than mining for a semi-afk play style.

^ This is a good use of your time, also scan FW plexes and pick up a few kills along the way. FW missions are also a good place to catch unsuspecting victims.

The best way is quite subjective to say the least. I will tell you imo, the best way would be some form of pvp, preferably in either a small frigate gang or solo frigate roam. But then I still have over 200 frigates I need to explode. Look at joining a corp such as RedvsBlue, Eve Uni, and of course Brave Newbies. While in the end, it is your own responsibility to find content you enjoy, each of those corporations offer newbies plenty of content to chew on for a while.

Any girlfriend that does not let you have your own interests and hobbys is not worth the trouble. She deserves the same freedom btw. You must be very young.

About what to do for 90 mins don't know but do it in a Dominix and put some dominator memory in your rig..

I believe the word you might be hunting for is "prioritization". Prioritizing game time over a real life relationship may not go over well for some whereas others will put such things as video games first. He didn't state whether this is the only issue she may have (some folks do get picky about "being around" while you're too busy with "a video game" to spend time with them...)

Remember that most start with a girlfriend and eventually wake up with a wife & family so keeping ones longer term RL options open, when it's simply video game time (vs other activities), isn't a problem for many to set aside as a lesser consideration.

As for the OP: It's looking at what you enjoy in the game and how you wish to remain active in it.

-- PvP - the RvB and FW paths are good. You can usually dump out of it in an hour or so if something comes up (or someone comes in)

-- PvE - mining and PI might work but you might also look at such things as market trading and/or researching and manufacturing. The latter of these are fairly quickly and easily set aside at a moments notice.

-- Mixed PvE and PvP: Exploration. You can usually, with ease, log off in space with a covert ops ship if an interruption comes up. It's at your convenience and exploring wormholes, lowsec and nullsec provide a variety of opportunities.

It's all up to you on what path you choose.

Thanks to the last posters for adding a bit of common sense. Yes I have a long term relationship with her, I has been two years since I moved in with her.... and it was me who decided I had to stop playing for a while. I wish she was more gameplay friendly but well. That is life.
I am happy I have some external control, I still remember when I played 16 hours and then daydreamed about EVE at work, it was interesting but not really that healthy.
I am reactivating my main account , and being this a trial alt it does not make sense to keep going with the character and then paying too much money to transfer this 250k LP character over.

iv a pair of 3yo twin boys , so while i can sit and get my forumworrior on ,
im somewhat restricted in what i can do in-game,
i dont have much more time than yourself to actually get any eve going.
the only thing i can think of is sleep less and make friends with coffee i.e. real ground coffee,
