EVE General Discussion

Getting the ISK and do PvP for fun all in 3h is hard (I personally hate market stuff) ... I would recommend to split, do a week of relic exploration in Sansha nullsec (one jump clone), then a week solo PvP in budget ships (2nd clone) and so forth (or whenever you need ISK). If you are very good, you can fund your PvP out of the PvP loot. Also you should have an eye on the NPSI communities like Spectre Fleet and Bombers Bar to join a roam, whale hunt if the time fits (3rd bomber clone in Thera). But you should have your solo activities as backup if no fleet is up. The best is to have different options set up, so you always have something fun to do when logging in regardless when.

To the OP,

Trading isn't as time intensive as you think it is. If you have max orders with Wholesale IV trained (around 120-130 I think) You can log on for about 30 min a day and update orders and look for new items in that time, and it's plenty to make you some good ISK once you have good items and ISK invested. People go wrong with trading when they treat it like a job. It's fun for me (although PvP is more fun), so it's not so bad. But once you log in to do it because you feel like you have to, then it becomes really obnoxious.

As a side note, while you don't HAVE to log in every day to station trade, you'll notice that you have lower profits after you do skip a day. It really pays off when you are consistent.

There are a lot of people out there that don't live and breathe Eve 24/7. It sometimes seems that this community assumes that all the players only work, play Eve, and sleep. Some of us enjoy other things, have other hobbies, and play different games with the spare time that we have.

No really it's not

You like to think so because of your habits of putting people down over this for too many years, but in my case it's not what I was going for.

You missed on the point ? Too bad, maybe take a bit of time off Eve and go read a book or something.

If you can't properly communicate whatever point you were trying to make properly, that's your problem, not a problem for others.

So tell us, exactly what is your point?

Clearly you're too good for us op. I'm not sure why you even wanna play this game. I mean, why waste your precious time to interact with some no-life, fat losers when you clearly live the superior life, being a superior human being.

If i'd give some honest advice for only being able to play 3 hours a week I'd advice you join a big group doing what you enjoy doing in eve, then interact with them in game, but most importantly outside game on forums and other games and stuff. Perhaps even irl. EVE is so much more than just in game content.

But then again... come to think about it, you sound like a condescending, narcissistic shitlord, so i hope you decide on the latter in your OP.

Didn't reach my conclusion solely from the OP, please take a moment to read his other replies.

Ore contracts -> courier contracts -> manufacturing
Can do most of that while waiting at your gate camp and set the queues when you die.

damn... I have almost 3 hours a day average* for the last 8 years. wonder how that would look if I could look at the time I was just logged in on alts too

*I rounded up a bit, sue me

I'm pretty new to EVE, and only play casually (though more than 3 hours per week).

I'd have thought some lowse/null sec PI (I recently setup 2 characters doing this, covered all my costs in less than a month, it's all profit from now on - not huge, but it's there). once setup, that takes a minimal amount of time to keep going. I'd then use the rest of my time to run missions, even as a new player I can run L3s, with 2 agents in the same system.

I hope you find something,

good luck
