^ This, right here. This all you should worry about.

The key is find some like minded friends in the game. The rest will follow Blink

the time based sp gain makes it even more casual friendly than other mmos, where you have to grind for sp.


The only actual "problem" as a casual is ISK. Because you don't have time to grind, you need to find a very efficient way to get your in-game items funded. Some recommendations from my expierience ...


  • go cheap, check the prices, buy/use meta modules
  • open eyes while roaming, loot, scan for lost drones, salvage T2/T3 ships
  • relic exploration in Sansha nullsec space is dangerous, fun, can be done solo as long as you want, and is profitable
  • don't hesitate to pop a PLEX every now and then when running out of ISK


Eh, I have lots of ISK (I'm not space *rich*, but my net wealth is in the low twelve figures, maybe 125-130 billion ISK not counting the value of characters I don't intend to sell. Maybe 0.2-0.22 trillion if you include that).

I still seldom fly anything remotely expensive and spend more time in my trusty 35 million ISK travel-fit interceptors (which I have *never* lost one of) than I do in anything else.

My biggest losses by far have been market transactions rather than ship losses - I don't think I've had one ship loss over 400m.

Ships are consumables and tools. You should only spend as much on the tool as the job warrants.
