Ninja salvaging/looting is pretty easy to pick up and get content out of. You can do it solo or with friends.

Just check the in-game map for super clusters of NPC kills (preferable high-sec regions with L4 agents) and farm content/tears off the missionbears.

Do you like slow burn games where absolutely nothing could be going on at all therefore, making you have to piddle about looking for something to do out of boredom?

EVE is not DUST; it is not WoW. Sandbox = no real ready made content you can just jump into immediately and go all high speed rockstar. It really ends up being a second life that you have to push for days to make the smallest thing happen.

If DUST were checkers, EVE is chess (or worse, Monopoly).

If it is I'm thinking of going Amarr.

Did all that. It is fun for about five seconds. The rinse and repeat of anything in EVE does not yield much after three months.


The best bet for fun with some kind of in world related context rather than just bored ganking is Red vs. Blue. They're a fun couple of corps that are permanently wardecced against each other for consentual PVP. Last I checked my characters are still in there too. Lol, it's been five years.

Oh, please!....

Go to nulsec. Join a nulsec Alliance corp and be prepared for constant wardecks. If you honestly think EvE is that boring, compared with Dust, you just haven't experienced it like I have.

Yes, I have. I've done that. It is long stretches of nothing because nobody really wants a fight or you are waiting for something to happen. They talk big on the forums, but no bite. That's why I like corps like Red vs. Blue. Everybody wants to fight and they even have additional wardecs going besides each other.

That had been the best pvp, or any real activity since when I first started playing and we were being wardecced by merc corps. I usually do tackling and scouting because I love intercepters and I can be doing something when everybody else is sitting at the gate in a stalemate.

The only thing I never did was join a FW corp. At the time FW just started and was a crap implementation. They apparently made it better just as I was on my way out.

If it is I'm thinking of going Amarr.

Do it.

The corp you join obviously has an effect on this. If you join a corp that's part of a big Alliance that's always in fights, none of what you wrote will be the case. I'm in a Provi corp and there's constant fleets and incursions from all sorts down there. Not hard to find a fight if you really want one.

Yes, from what I understand FW is really good, but unlike Dust, if you participate in FW you will wear yourself a KOS for your opposing faction, even after you leave your Militia. It will take ages to be allowed back in.

It can even be bad just running missions - my main EvE char is a Caldari Navy contractor - she can barely fly through Gallente space...

The grind is much, much worse than Dust. I dropped it as soon as I realized how many hours it takes to just sit at a screen staring at your mining drones.

If eve were a one time purchase, yeah, sure i could dig it. $180 dollars a year till CCP craps out on you, no way.

Be prepared to socialize a lot, or you won't get very far. The game is dreadfully boring solo, and you really have to invest a lot of time into the game to find the fun aspects.

I played for a while but mostly just to take pictures cuz it was pretty. EVE always felt tremendously disconnected to me but that's because I'm obsessed with first person and being my ship just kinda grew old for me. I'll hold out for SC for my space simulator game, but EVE is definitely good if it clicks with you.

Plus as you get better at the game / make more friends it becomes free to play, so that's always nice.

Yes but also no lol
My char is 12yr old in June and i played an awful lot in the beginning, less so in recent years due to not enough time.

Its very time intensive to get anywhere, not really a pickup and play game, alliance politics can be as whiney and pathetic as real politics and most high level members are as big a babies about losing as the worse dust scrubs but ten fold.
get a good small crew though and you can get some great friends and have a lot of fun. CCP will strive to push you into zero sec but its not a neccessity to have fun, you can do plenty of stuff in high to mid sec, exploration sites and incursions. Faction warfare in low sec is fun and gives you the isk and reward without all the BS politics of a zero sec alliance. Exploration can be a great isk earner if you get setup right.

Start small, concentrate of frigates and destroyers, perhaps cruisers. perfect them as some of the most important roles come from support ships using frig and cruiser hulls.
One of the greatest ships to fly are battlecruisers/command ships. all the power of a battleship with the agility of a cruiser. don't bother with capitals, bigger certainly isn't better in EVE.

you can have a lot of fun just sat in an asteroid belt on VC drinking beers on a mining op as you can in a lowsec roam, which btw usually consist of being sat in a station for 2hrs while FC tries to organize it and people log on and off as they get bored of not actually doing anything except wait for the FCs mates and the roam never actually takes place when its supposed to

If it is I'm thinking of going Amarr.
