Most of the corps that hold space now did not exist 3 years ago. So I would say it is very well possible but you will need at least the same time.

It's possible, but not a goal you should be publicly working for, or you may be creating obstacles for yourself. Especially if you plan to dive into 0.0, the term "need to know basis" is an important one concerning how you tell your members about higher level stuff going on.

Not impossible by any means. On a day-to-day basis sure the influence map may look static enough, but take a longer view and you'll see many 0.0 empires have come and gone over the years, and two of the big alliances (the Goons and TEST) started as a rabble of noobs from an out-of-game community and just went and did it without bothering to train much of anything first on their characters. But you'll need a few thousand friends and an iron will to make it happen.

Personally, I'm perfectly happy in NPC nullsec and have zero interest in sov wars (aside from how many stragglers I can pick off Pirate). Right now I'm finishing up training both large projectile specialization skills so I can fly a Tornado decently, then Recons V so my alliance will stop bitching about it, then maybe black ops or something. We roadtrip a lot these days so I'm probably going to train my alt for a carrier as well, he already flies a jump freighter but moving assembled ships around in a JF costs a fortune, the range is limited, I'd have to train up a second set of cyno alts if I trained caps on my main, and a carrier is much better for it.

I just finished training scrapmetal processing. My plan was to start running missions for Core Complexion to get access to R&D agents. But I've put that on hold until we get more information about the changes coming to research points involving faction warfare.

I think I'll finish up some Int/Mem skills then start training for a Prowler.

  • Trying to learn how to use a Myrmidon properly, speed/armor tanking whatever
  • Trying to get enough cash together to move to bigger ships, likewise with skills
  • Training up skills to be an effective hauler, rigs and other optimizations
  • Training up skills to be an effective trader, day trading, etc.

My most recent goals are to start earning money faster (am doing this! go me! Big smile) and to get myself a Legion. My long-term goals are to train well for almost every ship in a short amount of time (say, 3 years) which I'm doing pretty well at so far, though it comes with a lot of sacrifice; and to become a notable figure in EVE. I want people to recognize me by name and count on me as someone they can trust. I'd love to be one of those third-party trade mediators, both for the pay and the good feeling I'd get from it.

My goal at the moment is to get myself a Rifter. Beyond that, probably pve stuff to learn the ropes. And trying not to get killed.

Congratulations on winning the Rifter Scholarship (check your wallet). I encourage you to be reckless and fly dangerously in one.

My goal is building up some ISK while I finish up my trainplan (thanks EVEmon!) for a fully T2 fitted Jaguar, with solid support skills to maximise its potential and get myself out there, looking for stuff to blow up in lowsec space :)

It will be a while considering my 300k SP at the moment, but it at least gives me plenty of time to tune my fit and make some bucks while I train :)

Compared to the EVE vets, this perhaps seems like a minimal goal, but for me, one week fresh, its a hell of a lot to look out to.
