Hello everyone!

Last Time i played I didn't get deep into it at all.
I'm at 4.2Mil SP mostly in Industry. I can fly a Ret and the T2 Industrials with decent fittings.
I like hauling Stuff around, but it's horrible Money.
Is it viable to go for an Industrial skilling and skill some kind of Ship for a decent fitting to be producing goods and being able to PVE/PVP on the Side? If yes what kind of Ship would be viable? What to do o
How do I actually find a Corp for the things I'd like to do? Because I feel this isn't really the game to play alone.
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

Thank you :)



Edit:
Not 450K SP 4.5Mil

How much u aiming for? If haulage isn't good money you must have some idea what you would consider good money?

Do what you like to do and don't focus on making isk. It is a game, of course.

Certainly it's viable. Many players do industry and other things as well. Ships themselves don't produce things, so no need to fit a ship to do that, if that is what you were saying.

read the sticky "how to find the corp that's right for you" on the top of this subforum page.

Hello and welcome back to Eve.

Definitely do the Career Agents for the free stuff and to help get reacquainted with the game again.

Don't know what skills you already have trained but make sure you have the Core Fitting skills trained up at least to level 4, then work on maxing them asap. Core Fitting Skills will allow you to easily fit up ships. Don't forget to train up the other main / support skills as well such as specific ship, defense, offense and career oriented skills. Don't just queue up one skill to train multiple levels, queue up multiple skills to train up one level each, that way you'll be able to easily play the game much sooner.

These are listed in alphabetical order only, which skill to train first depends on your specific needs.

*Core Fitting Skills*

Acceleration Control - To maximize Afterburner & MWD speed.
Advanced Weapon Upgrades - To reduce turrets and launchers powergrid need.
Afterburner - To reduce Afterburner duration & capacitor need.
Capacitor Management - To maximize Capacitor.
Capacitor Systems Operation - To maximize capacitor recharge rate.
CPU Management - To maximize CPU.
Electronics Upgrades - To reduce sensors & co-processors CPU requirements.
Energy Grid Upgrades - To reduce power modules CPU requirements.
Evasive Maneuvering - To increase acceleration & agility.
Fuel Conservation - To reduce Afterburner capacitor need.
High Speed Maneuvering - To reduce MWD capacitor need.
Hull Upgrades - To maximize armor.
Mechanics - To maximize structure.
Navigation - To increase ship velocity.
Power Grid Management - To maximize powergrid.
Repair Systems - To operate best armor/hull repair modules.
Shield Management - To maximize shield.
Shield Operation - To maximize shield recharge rate.
Shield Upgrades - To reduce shield upgrades powergrid need.
Spaceship Command - To increase ship agility.
Warp Drive Operation - To reduce capacitor need for warp.
Weapon Upgrades - To reduce turrets and launchers CPU need.


Good luck to you, may you have a long and rewarding career here.

Nobody can point you in a direction and say 'Do that forever'. Open the corp recruitment tab and use the search to find a group interested in the same things.
