2nd month in. No PVE makes this game not as fun as it should be.

Funny thing is the corp I am in now, when I was recruited the first thing they said to me was, "We have just been wardec'ed and you may want to get away from these systems, we know that is where they mostly are."

I did just that and never saw ONE of the wardec corp guys. Now that the corp is wardec again by some one man corp I have yet to see him either, but others have. I have found other hostile people out there, but I operate in low sec, and honestly think it is the best place to learn. You learn to stay on your toes, stay sharp or risk being a target.

There is an old Marine motto... "Semper Gumbi"
It means, "Always Flexible."

Just stick with one of the NPC corporations. Then all you have to worry about is being ganked...

Never join a player corp, never ever do what other players tell you to do (unless it's me) unless it's your own character as an alt alpha account as CEO. Corps are junk. Useless, boring crap. They don't teach anything, use Google to learn the game.

with that attitude better to one man corp hop and avoid taxes.

I think there is a lot of value in playing with others, but being in a corp that shuts down over a wardec is a horrible way to play eve. there are so many things to do.

a few options off the top of my head:
1. Fight back, t1 frigs/crusiers are cheap and effective. Killing a few shiny ships will win you the isk war and hopefully you will have fun doing it.
2. Go to thera and run exploration sites in nullsec, this is pretty new player friendly, sure you will probably lose a few ships and some loot to camps
3. Head to lowsec there are missions and exploration sites, and you know if you see someone they are trying to kill you rather than just thinking about it like in highsec.
4. Try some manufacturing or trading, neither requires you to leave a station, you can always use courier contracts to move materials and finished goods.
5. go do some wormhole stuff. the low class sites can be done in cheap ships. I did some c1/2 stuff in a frigate, bringing some cruisers or some friends would have sped things up a lot.

Can Alphas create their own corporation? I thought they were restricted from doing that...

Yes, they can train Corporation Management to level 1:

The original list published isn't quite the same as the final list of skills released for Alphas, but Corporation Management has been in the whole time, giving an ability to create a Corp that can have up to 20 members.

*munches popcorn*

Welcome to EVE, newbro. Here are some facts:

Many corps are the suck. Terribad. Waste. Of. Time. Congrats, you found one.

Now leave it. If they have friendly fire on (doubtful) , kill as many of them as you can. Specifically target the CEO and his buddies. Murder the Orca pilot, preferably in his Orca.

KILL THEM ALL.

You'll probably get kicked out. This is a Good Thing.

Then go join Brave Newbies or Devil Warriors or even Marmite.

They will love you and you will have made tons of new friends in your old corp....Twisted

Then take what you learn from Brave or Devils or even Marmite and go forth and spread the love and joy unto the newbro's.

Amen.

*opens the vodka*

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Promotes bullies, huh?

GTFO

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

Hey OP, if you're still here and want another person to weigh in...

Highsec is simply: really poor gameplay design, maybe even intentionally (accidentally). I learned early on to get out of the main areas and play the PVE out in the fringes of the game. After a few months of that and a mix of some PVP learning experiences, I found out the best PVE has PVP, it's the ones where you know or feel like there's a hunter on the way (another player) and it's like a race to finish your site before they can get to you. Or you can be the person that springs the trap to see what they bring. I've had some terrific and very romantic fights because of this. I digress, I love how I play the game so that doesn't mean you will.

If you wanna live in highsec forever - even though someone can pay off CONCORD and hold Large Ion Blaster II's to your head, then stay in the NPC corp. Or maybe learn how to be the guy that does the extortion and the threatening?

The ultra-safe highsec you wish for is the rookie systems you originally started in. You won't be running level IV's or doing 4/10's or mining anything better than Veldspar.

Reading that people can pull down 200m an hour in highsec makes me have an existential crisis - or maybe question why I play the way I do at all or even if I should anymore lol. I digress again.

The point here is the game requires you to be adaptive. I hope you don't quit too early. Smile

During really awesome mission sessions, you can potentially pull-in even more than 200m ISK/hour in high-sec. I've hit 350m ISK/hour and even higher with a single account.

I'm sure I will get trolled for this post but here it goes. Great game so far but this is a hard game to make isk in or even play on your main. I joined a Corp on my main that promoted PVE but it's been war decked for the last four weeks. Can't leave the base 1/2 the time as there are war targets in the area. I don't understand the pleasure one would get killing some new person in a venture with 440 k in the bank? I stay in high sec but really that is a joke with wardecks on 24/7.

I play games after work to have fun. When I purchase a game I want to play it. Not have to drop Corp to play alone so I can play safely. I have no issue with PVP but leave that to Null sec or low sec for wardecks. It just feels that this game promotes bullies and that high sec Is just a place for dirty cops (concord) to get paid off to look the other way while some person kills you.

I have done missions for the first time in a week but we just got wardecked again. Unless you stay in the starter corp there really is no safe place. High sec should be high sec.



Did it occur to you that you might be doing something wrong.

I mean look at it. Right Now there are thousands of people playing EVE Online and enjoying it. If you aren't enjoying it, doesn't that suggest to you that you should try something different, or that maybe something about your attitude is interfering with your enjoyment? Are the thousands of people playing EVE at this moment and enjoying it crazy?

If you don't like war decs, why stay in the ONLY space where wardeccs matter at all?

This right here is terrible advice. Joining a corp is important because it gives you people to play with. EvE isn't as much fun alone.

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

If you look at war decs as part of this game & learn how to deal with them they can actually be fun.

There's a lot of good advice above, but for my part I'd suggest you try & make this a learning exercise. Remember knowledge is power.

They're not really fun for new players or small corporations (as evidenced by the number of times threads on changing war decs crop up...).
