EVE General Discussion

What I have tried so far:

* mining
* missioning (alone, tengu, battleships, marauders...)
* ratting (ninja)
* ratting (raven...)
* ratting
* pvp in nulsec (fleet, roaming, home defence)
* pvp in lowec as pirate (well, we mostly were camping amamake-osoggur gate, heretics)
* pvp in lowsec as militia
* scanning (not really exploration, just tried how to move around w-space and k-space)
* trading (0.01 game)

However, most of these activies where done mostly alone. That is quite boring.

So, I will have a totally new character (not this one) and one PLEX.

What I should try out as a new career?

Problem for me is that when I was 10 years younger, I had all the time to grind ISK. But now, now way in hell. So, if I get into pvp, I cannot fly all the very expensive ships, if I do not constantly pay PLEXs. A battlecruiser is like 100 million these days with T2 fit. W T F CCP!

That's for sure that I am looking for a new group where to play, but most of the corporations that are actively recruiting are recruiting into nulsec farming corporations. Yesterday I floated around wormholes and 0.0 regions. They were empty. I mean much more empty than they were like 4 years ago.

Real industrial career is one thing that I haven't tried yet. But it sounds very lonely career. Is it? Also at first it seems rather boring. For example if you want to do invention you first must train like one month just the required skills before you can try your first invention.

I think I am asking quite lot. I dont have much time to play, so when I log in I would like to have action for that one hour or so. But I know from experience that even in the largest alliances that is not enough to get a fleet going. Lowsec in the other hand is so empty, that finding a good opponent might easily take one hour or more.

I say that for me atleast it's real hard to find a active player group that plays together instead of playing with their own alts. I have been in 100 member corporations where actually was like 10 guys with their alts and rest were inactive.

Even 20 member corporation would be great, if they all would be active at the same time.

But first, I should decide what to do.

Incursions are a group activity.

Perhaps you missed the bit where he said he didn't have time to spend a day grinding.

As to the original question: that's the perennial problem with EVE. It is supposedly a sandbox, but there's a limited amount of sand in the box. You can 'reinvent' yourself, but not infinitely. Eventually you get to asking 'what is the point'? If you have a real-life job then you won't want to come home and dedicate your leisure time to working at scooping up the sand, building castles and watching them get knocked down again by the playground bullies.

There is no end-point. Perhaps there is no point at all. No-one 'wins' EVE. That's its biggest weakness.

For casual fleet action, join the Spectre Fleet channel, most fleets are cheap and small stuff, so funding this is not that hard.

EDIT: Why starting over? More skillpoints certainly help increasing ISK/h ...

If you're truly reinventing yourself, what you should try is a shear dress and a mani-pedi.


Breathtaking, I tell you.
