Hey guys, I'm coming back to eve from over 2 years off playing other things. Nothing quite compares to Eve, tried a lot of other games like Elite: Dangerous, No Mans Sky, etc... but they left me feeling nostalgic to come back here.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what to with myself. I've got a bunch of ships all over the place that I'm trying to wrangle up and I'm trying to figure out what the best solo pve content I can get into to make some ISK! I used to run missions up to Lv4, I've done scanning/exploring and combat sites, and I've even gotten into running my own POS in a wormhole a few times (some of the most adrenaline packed gaming I've ever experienced involved transporting fuel to my POS from low sec lol). I've never done incursions and I have no clue what they've added to pve content over the last few years. So what's a good way to get out of my hangar and turn bullets into ISK?

I've got about 24 mil skill points, mostly spent on combat oriented skills. I can fit T2 Projectiles and fly most T2/T3 Minmatar ships. I currently have a few Maelstroms, Hurricanes, T2 frigates and a Loki at my disposal.

Best way: incursions, hands down. If you can find a compatible community. There are several. Warp2Me is one, Valhalla something or other (Project?) is another one. Oh, wait, you said solo. Incursions, at least the most lucrative ones, can't be done solo. Exploring in wormholes, then, or level 4 combat missions.

Thanks for the reply, Alicia. Do you typically have to join a corp that does incursions?

This is what I do except for the missioning. Instead I do wormhole sites Smile

No, there are many communities that run incursion, some shield some armor. IIC is a good armor starter, TVP is good for shield. There a few leet fleets that only take pirate faction ships with faction fits.
If I remember I will send you the link to their chats when I get home from work, if you don't hear from me and still want them, just mail me, otherwise google works.

Train for a machariel and do some incursions.
It's a great source of income. And if you sell the right stuff from your concord LP with a market alt you will get even more isk/LP.

Welcome back to Eve,

Exploration is a great solo activity. For a change of pace you might wanna mix it up with some Cosmos agents and Epic Arcs. They give out some good rewards and have a great story plot.

In about 2 weeks there are potentially going to be a lot of new players doing stupid things, so I suspect the opportunities are going to be limitless...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
