i'll add more when i review the original list


Added, Hacking = Exploration, renamed 'Item reprocessing' to 'reprocessing'
Buying and manufacturing covers all manufacturing.

Already linked on first page. Doesn't cover everything, new things don't really get added.

Neat list. Was going to add "tear extraction" as a viable entry but it's a bit vague I suppose

Hey guys.

The fact there is a heading titled "griefing" is extremely disappointing in an other wise neat thread.

Would you like for me to rename it to "illegal capsuleer activities"? I just copied it straight over.


I think you should rename it to : TIMMAH!



Don't get it but somehow larfed so there's a Like.

hi

I would add AWOX to the list

As well as splitting Hauling into High and Low sec . There is also a whole sub-division of Jump Freighter piloting for Null Sec !

Also Mission running has 3 divisions which people specialize in Distribution , Mining and Security.

What about Forum Warriors and associated Trolling

Finally there is Theory - Crafting for possible ship fits ( and testing )

Cheers

Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.

Awox = Corp Theft, although I'm going to change Corp Theft to Awoxing because it covers more.
I'll split Hauling into Highsec, Lowsec and Nullsec.
I'll split Mission Running into those 3.
I forgot to add the rule that you need to be able to make ISK from it, so no Forum Warriors or Trolling.
I'm not sure if I'll add Theory Crafting, can people get ISK from that?

Can you make ISK from that? I suppose, from loot.. Might as well add it.

I wish CCP had never tried this.

The whole concept of "Professions" just leads our newbros to think that EVE has "character classes".

Then we end up with ten year old characters who have every single skill that could in any way affect mining yeild maxed out, yet cannot even fit a tank of any kind - after all, proper defense and drone skills and tackle and weapon skills don't have anything to do with "mining", right?

Well rounded players who have experienced a little bit of all these random "professions" tend to be the best players. It's a sandbox, and forcing yourself into a single "profession" tends to result in players who are just... well, awful at EVE.

Also, echoing the comments of the above "griefer" thing as a "profession". If that's the case, we need to add "sociopath", "emotional rapist" and all the rest of the silly terms that people apply to others who shoot their spaceship :P

Best advice: Get out there, think outside the box, stop limiting yourself to being a "miner" or a "pirate" or a "chief fedo wrangler of Dodixie" or whatever and just CREATE CONTENT. :)

As an explorer I object. I shoot faction NPCs and DED site overseers. I don't do that silly little pacman game...

Perhaps you could split exploration into several subcategories, hacking, combat, and gas.

Chief Fedo Wrangler of Dodixie.. Heh.
That might be how you work, but my imagination sucks, so I'd rather have a list of things I can just go through and be like "that looks terrible, so does that that and -oooh, that looks nice, let's research that a bit more". I can't think outside the box, so I'll maintain a list that has other people doing so.

What about Pirate?

You may have listed what we do as a pirate, but you forgot the actual profession. Evil

xD

I see where you are coming from!

But you don't need much imagination - really. Just create a "profession", and roll with it - if it does not work for you or result in the most fun per hour you can have, keep switching.

Look me up in game, always looking for friendly people who know that the bun is just in your mind.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BUN :P
