So I have a decent buzzard and drake set up. Last time I played, I was doing some white hole stuff with this setup, but I kinda forget exactly what i was doing....

I've been scanning hi/low sec data sites for the time being but I'm pretty lost besides that. I can fly a raven and I'm 20 days away from a tengu, so any tips on stuff I can do to have fun solo until I find a corp I like would be great.

Thanks

Why not pretend like you are new to the game and have never played it before and just try out lots of different stuff?

You haven't really told us much about what you like to do. I am assuming it's been so long for you that you forgot. You told us what you were doing but I did not get any sense of you really sounding excited about doing it again. So that's why I say pretend like you are a virgin all over again.

Without having an idea of what you like to do it's kind of hard to give you advice.

I think back to scanning, at least for the time being. I remember having fun running those sites as well as doing wormhole stuff I just forget how to do/what to expect in w-space. Like is my drake good enough to kill some sleepers there? Also what are incursions? They had just started when I last played but never got into them and they sound like they could be fun

Basically looking to do some solo stuff for the time being. I'm pretty sure I got bored of mission running which is how I got into scanning and such

Incursions are PVE group content, sort of like killing the lone dragons that lived in the regular zones in WoW. The pirates invade, and a fleet of 8 - 40 is needed to take out the lieutenants and their support, and finally the boss and his support. Typically, shield-based fleets are used, with specifically-fitted heavy tanks, multiple remote-shield-boost logistics (healers), and serious DPS.

As far as your Drake and Sleepers, a lot of the T1 ships have been changed/buffed, but at the same time the Drake is popular and so we see a lot of crappy fits out there, as well as a tendency to try to use the ship for everything, even when it's not suited. So, probably not; no clue.
