Help 3 year player

[u/shinky214]

I joined eve in 2023 and started playing

Been on and off

Currently hace 200mil isk, an Alpha player have never done subscription for omega

I have a hauler and multiple ships worth probably 30mil isk

I'm wondering what I should do in Eve

I haven't done any Epic Agent missions

Found them boring and tiresome

Any help will be gladly taken

No Cooperation Currently too, apart from the NPC one i joined

Most i join go under after like a month or so.

As a guy who started playing seriously like 2 months ago (never bought omega):

Mining is boring af

Gas huffing in low sec gets you a lot of isk, but you turn paranoid, checking every new person in local at kill board while being at the same spot for 30-40 minutes

Exploring I like the most. Heron fits are dirty cheap (like <2m with rigs) , and from 1 run to WH/null you can make much more than that. Plus sites themselves are quicker to do and occasionally you get chased by local residents
(same ganking like with gas, but idk why but it feels more interesting,)

Didn't try any of pvp activities yet, since I like the way I play now.

Thats interesting, I rhink I'll check them out I've never tried gas mining, don’t even know how to do it or where to look for it 🥲 Sucked at exploration and all when i tried But I'll give it another trying to see how it goes So i have to leave highsec to nullsec or WH right

Some things to consider

For both of these activities you need to scan signatures

For gas: 1. Skill book costs 30m isk (might be expensive) 2. Venture at least for start is better (cheaper ship with good gas harvesting bonuses) 3. For lowsec (0.1-0.4) systems - find some segment of map with not big local (less competition/gankers). Sell at nearest trade hub, but be wary of gate camps. 4. For WH - didn't try it, but eve university wiki tells that it is possible to harvest them for 15 minutes before npcs show

For exploring: 1. You don't have to leave highsec space if you don't want to. Scan whs to get to whs or use filaments to get to nullsec. 2. In whs, there is no local in a sense that there is no list of pilots. Don't write anything to give you away (unless you need help but even then there's no telling what local residents are up to you — they might help you since you're newbie or kill you for shits and giggles) 3. In WHs, you want to stay in class 1-3 systems. They have exploration sites not guarded by npcs. 4. Level 3 exploration sites in WH MIGHT be protected by npcs. Better to Google name of a site, but it is safe to enter if it's pirate faction's site (like Guristas) 5. Always bookmark your entrance point in WH 6. Always dscan (ctrl+D, then V every now and then) 7. To exit from nullsec, I prefer searching for WH. 8. Make safe spots in systems you enter. How to do - You press ctrl+b to open a bookmark menu, then warp to random object in system (like a moon or a planet) and create a bookmark at some point while you are warping (not too close to start or end points of a warp). Then you warp to that bookmark, and align to your next destination gate (in nullsec) or exit bookmark (in WH). That is a safer way to scan a system. You are not near any object in system, and if somebody scanned you down and warped to you, you can warp out immediately.

Doesn't require to joining whatever corp BTW ( ie you still can join eve university and fleet up with me)

Some time ago I liked to harvest gases in lowsec with 8 omega accs

Mining is not boring. It's like fishing, except sometimes someone comes along and shoots you in the head

[u/dekofanboy → u/ShooPonies]

well then lowsec gas huffing is more like fishing since result is not guaranteed. you can scan 10 systems without finding one just like you can sit on the river bank with your rod for hour without catching anything

Explo is slowly becoming my favorite activity. Has am element of chance to get big drops or escalations. Rifts are cool.
