I would say experience living in a WH for awhile alongside of doing more exploring. Also, do Incursions as I never really have. Running one site when the Incursion was nearly done and having a lot of people there didn't really seem anything beyond doing an easy complex.

Although the first two are at the top of my list, I've spent most of my time in EVE living in NullSec as corp leadership and honestly it's a full time job in itself. I don't have a whole lot of ISK to afford multiple accounts so running off and doing that has never been an option for me. I could quit and leave this whole life I've made for myself behind, but I could never do that as I can't imagine myself finding another group of guys and gals that I enjoy spending time with.

So you are beginning to warm up to the idea, eh ?

BUT, it is essential that the Nova Bombs originate in level 1 missions (which can only be accessed by PAID SUBSCRIBED PLAYERS) to control their frequency of appearance and they must be launchable from low skill ships to make certain the Noobs have access to them .

Other than that, why not, I like your train of thought anyway.


Nope. I'm just explaining how Nova Bombs work

Sov 0.0, but I don't want to play Supercapfest Online, so I stay away from it.

Aims of EvE/Stuff to try out:-

-Roaming around lowsec / some lowsec 'zone control' stuff.
-For low sec to have a purpose, other than roaming for ***** and giggles.
-Wouldn't mind trying out faction warfare, again if there was a good reason for it. love the idea, don't like what I see in the game.
-Find myself a nice corp to be part of.
-Ship spin in a carrier.
-Use railguns on ships bigger than my beloved Harpy.
-Khanid torp Abaddon
-Badass Railgun BS
-Destroy a Supercarrier in a frigate! Oops

When i came back last time, i promised myself to try something new. So off to wormholes it was. It turned out ofcourse that wormholes are boring. The pve is just a big slow pain in the ass, while the pvp is just silly. Either you ganks someone doing anoms, or most likely you try to kill them at a wormhole, wich, if you ever take a trip into a wormhole, you will discover that is just pointless because once you start taking damage, you just jump trough and fly away.

And thats what you can do in a wormhole. theres nothing more.

So, i made a few alts to run missions, but thats boring too.

So i joined a 0.0 alliance, but after two fleet ops, one were i participated in killing a titan, i had to leave because i really dont get any joy from being in a fleet fight with 800 other people. Theres no tactic, just point and click on the target then wait.

So i left 0.0, and instantly felt i got my personality and freedom back. I was no longer a sheep.

I tried running cosmos missions, but it bored me.

I tried running cosmos sites, but it felt pointless

So now im playing civ 5


Lots of other posts have hit on this same theme, but yours was nearest at hand so I went for the easy quote. Here's the thing that lots of people are dancing around in this thread w/o actually hitting the nail on the head: this game is BORING. Mind-numbingly, soul-crushingly boring. Yes, there are strains of brilliance in the design. Yes, Eve offers some of the most epic PvP in the MMO industry. Unfortunately, those strains of brilliant design, and those moments of epic PvP, make up less than ten percent of the overall experience.

Now I'm not a game designer. I don't know how to tell you to do your job, Zulu. But I can tell you this: you're game is boring as hell. You guys need to figure out a way to bring back FUN. Period. Make the damned game fun. Or people are not going to stick around.

Ramming bigger ships. BANZAI!

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Successfully roam 0.0 in a battleship. (i've tried, but failed, dying horribly in fire during the process...)

Second to that, I would like to fly a Tornado, anywhere in New Eden tbh...

I would like to warp through a titan with my frigate and leave a hole behind.

- be someone fighting in a capital slugfest. Back then I didn't have the skills. But just being support in those 2 hour dread fights was amazing.
- holding sov and an outpost with a 300 man alliance. Totally without being a pet/renter. The lack of this completely ruined EVE. If you want a lot of karma to come back, make small alliances able to hold stations.

The other stuff I pretty much did. Aside from flying a Titan, but I'm too lazy to make more isk.

What I'd like to see is some sort of a way to have a feasible small base of operations that can store a few ships and some loot. Setting up a pos takes a few hours and the orca option needs a second account.


Like renting a U-Haul trailer full of ammo, ships and supplies and hitching it to your Raven?

In short, Yes. Alternatively, smallholdings sound like a viable way to do this, from what Greyscale had said.

Things I'd like to do when I have the skills:

  • Tackling, Logistics, and Recon in small-group PvP
  • Exploration in LowSec / NullSec
  • Go roaming in a Battleship fleet
  • Fly a Phoenix

Other stuff that sounds cool:

  • Make an alt for Manufacturing and Invention
  • Joining ISD's IC or Mercury divisions

I want to try believing that you guys know how to use a DCU and salvager properly, but you just won't get around to training the required skills.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

I'd have liked to try a small scale Capital slugfest.

I think I missed my window though, since I think nowadays "small" scale cap fights too often end up in a ganked by superblob fight.

I guess pre-titan days would have been most fun times for cap fights. not like now with poweblocks, batphones and superblobs.

Other thing I'd like to try is Gas mining/drug production - dunno why, but not got round to it yet - think it is that whole risk/reward thing, lack of places to do it and pretty hard to do solo.

I always wanted to be a bounty hunter and make my living off PvP exclusively.

But it turns out this game doesn't have a viable bounty system.

Short of that I wanted to be a despicable pirate and make my living selling off the loot of ships I destroy.

But it turns out if I'm too despicable, I can't replace my losses without an alt account because the bastard police won't let me back to the markets.

So now I just split my time between gate camping and mission spamming on an alt.

By the way, if anyone needs a starting point to figure out what stuff they've done and given up on already, check out this chart.

Also, to add to my earlier post, I wanted to do speedboat epic arcs, except didn't want to fly out 60 jumps to 0.0 just to get podded.

FW would be great, but it isn't worth the downsides and isn't worth it in a reward sense.

I'd love to suggest that you guys institute eve arenas, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 with real ships, real pilots, no podding (or concord) in a controlled environment. Purely Gladiator style of the future.

Always ... Never ... Forget to check your references.   Peace out Zulu! Hope you land well!

Well...
- I want to live in W-Space some time.
- I want to own a small spot in 0.0, as in, I want to go in with my own small Corp. and pillage the place and make it mine.
- I want to become a renowned Pirate in New Eden, just need to get over the whole me being nice thing and I should be able to do it.
- I want to take part in a Live event.
- I want to be the very best, like no one ever was.

That's about it Big smile

Always meant to try invention, never got around to it.

Keep meaning to get scan probes out and go 'explore' yet never really do.

I do want interact more with the RP/FW conflict, but its mechanics are restrictive and unsatisfying (particularly as I am in an alliance) so I have never spent long in the area. I want the RP aspect, I don't want the current mechanics.
