I signed up with Eve Online back when it started. Created three accounts (fighter, miner, logistics). Played for 2.5 years. Did some PvP, but I'm a vietnam vet that suffers from A.D.D. so I get burned out doing the same thing day after day. Mining in Eve helps me to relax. Sometimes I did level 4 missions with my fighter with the other two accounts on logistics ships to aid me.
One day my corp declares war without letting me know. I was transferring a shipload of T2 gear and was ganked at a gate (losing the entire shipment). A week later I am mining in high sec space to try and recoup my losses. This was back when they gave us the right to attack a player that was stealing from our jet cans.
The indy was flagged and attacked by my T2 drones, but barely escapes going into warp. A few minutes later the same player comes back with a strong PvP ship and quickly brings my T2 mining barge to structure and demands 10 mil isk. I pay him and he leaves. Then I go back to base, write a ticket to the developers telling about the glitch in their rule. They tell me that the game is what is what the player make of it.
I quit the game and haven't looked back for over ten years. Have continued playing other mmo's and made countless high leveled, high geared characters.
I missed Eve online, and looking at it again. But if the same rule is in place or others like it... if I can't mine or do missions in peace when I need to relax.... I will not return.
Btw. when I left many others left with me (over 70 players). They too were disgruntled over what happened to me. We all went to another mmo together. If I come back, others may follow. |

It was explained to you by the developers that EvE is a sandbox game. It's a bit different now to when you last played but the vibe is thankfully very similar. Had you learned from your earlier mistakes you would have improved, eventually becoming immune to the dangers of the game through education. Your own warped expectations of what a game should be like (high level high geared whatever) are the issue you are experiencing and there's literally no way 70 people quit over you getting baited and losing a mining barge
Just dive back in and play EvE for what it is. Don't expect to be able to play without the involvement of others in your gameplay.

When I came to Eve many friends from the VFW came with me and others followed when they heard how much fun we were having. We are all in our 50's and 60's now, but still enjoy PC gaming. When I told others about what had happened to me while at the VFW, we all decided to leave Eve and look for another mmo.
When I was mining in high sec space that day I had left the corp and just made my own (entirely PvE). But players found a way around that and came after me.
I'm sure Eve has been updated a lot in ten years and really looking forward to it, but if I am to be ganked as soon as I come in the door....
In one of the mmo's we played while on a PvP server, we were killed as soon as we came out of the training academy. We regrouped, came out all at once and went right after the ones that were killing us and took them out (one at a time). This cleared the way for us to proceed. |

You may not be ganked the moment you come through the door, but you should expect to be. The basic rule of EvE is that you are consenting to PvP when you undock.
Having said that, learning basic precautions can help you avoid most attacks - but never all. If you are genuinely fond of mining, I might suggest joining one of the large new player corporations that live in null-sec. Contrary perhaps to expectations, null-sec can be much safer than high sec because you have friends to defend you, intel to warn you, and your psychology is attuned to being in a dangerous space. High sec lulls people into a sense of safety, when it is anything but. The mining rewards are much, much better out in null-sec too.

This is the correct attitude for EvE. Don't get mad, get even.

This is Eve. Whether or not you can get "ganked as soon as you come in the door" depends on you for the most part. If you keep doing dumb things, then explosions will keep happening. Wanting some peace and quiet is completely understandable, but due to the nature of the game you do need to be aware of the situation at all times in order to avoid unexpected rapid disassemblies.
What do I consider to be dumb things?
1. The can flipping case:
Willingly engaging other players in ships that are not fit for combat is dumb. Even though that canflipper back then might have been flying an Industrial: The mere fact that he got away the first time tells me, that you probably didn't have a warp disruptor or scrambler fitted. Think about it for a moment: Why would you ever engage in combat, when you do not have a means of preventing your opponent from disengaging? What could the outcome of such an engagement be? Here are the two most likely possibilities:
a. The other guy wanted to fight you - Worst case: You lose! b. The other guy made a mistake, but since you don't have a means of keeping him there, he'll just disengage - Best case: You don't win!
So, you willingly engaged in a no-win scenario back then. Are you really surprised that you lost?
2. The war:
Blindly hauling stuff in highsec during a war is dumb. It's not been particularly nice of your corpmates to not tell you you were at war, but you could (and should) have known anyway. Every member of a corp will get a notification once the war gets declared. After this notification, it will take another 24 hours for the war to go live. That's enough time to either prepare or drop corp. You can always check in your corp menu if there are pending or active wars in place. And if there is one, and you really need to haul things around, then ask one of your corpmates to scout for you or fly a blockade runner at least.
So, you can probably see how things go in Eve: You make a mistake (everyone makes mistakes, occasionally) and you pay for it. This is not just the nature of Eve, but most games, really. Only that in Eve, losing hurts more than in many other games, and it's easier to make a mistake in the first place. If you can accept that losing ships is normal in Eve, and usually a result of your own actions, I think you can still have fun playing this game.
Of course, things have changed since back then. But the overall tone of the game is still the same. For example: Canflipping is barely still a thing these days. Miners simply do not need to use jet cans anymore, as all the mining ships have gotten huge ore holds. That being said, nowadays miners frequently get suicide ganked downright, without the can flipping shenanigans. Of course there are ways to avoid that, as well, as long as you are aware this is a thing that happens in Eve, and prepare accordingly.
If you can however not accept the consequences or your own actions in a video game and are unwilling to learn from your mistakes, then Eve may not be the game for you. I frankly do not think the nature of the game is negotiable either. Whether you bring just yourself, or 70, or 700 vietnam veterans to the game will not matter much. |

EvE Online is a PvP game. There are PvE aspects, but the primary reason EvE Online exists is so players can blow up other players in internet spaceships.
If you want the EvE Online experience in PvE form, I'm sorry, but I can't help you there. EvE Online simply isn't PvE-centric, so there's no way to ensure you can have a PvE server here. However, there are other options:
Evochron Legacy - Sandbox? Check. PvE-PvP options? Check. Private server option? Check. Massively multiplayer? No; hard limit of 32/server so it gets kinda lonely. But hey, it's space, right? Space is meant to be big and lonely, some say.
Elite Dangerous - PvE-PvP options? Check. Private server option? Check. Massively multiplayer? Ehhhhhh, kinda (pretty sure it's also 32/instance but at least you can hop instances easier than Evochron). Sandbox? Not yet; still needs way more building. crafting and trading options. But you'll definitely be able to mine and run missions in peace (though after 1500 hours I can tell you - the repetitive grind is REAL).
Good to see another old fart around. Sorry EvE isn't everything you need. But this is how it is, and these are your options. Good luck. o7 |

I have looked quite extensively for a PvE space mmo or standalone. There are some these days (Earth and Beyond emulator, Astrox, Space Engineers, etc), but no one has the graphics of Eve (even from 10 years ago).
When my barge was mining all fittings were set for the highest yield or ore. Not to stop would be attackers. Frankly all I figured I would be up against were a few low level rats. I had left the corp the day my T2 shipment was taken. Wasn't active for a week. Then tried mining a bit in my own corp. This is when I was attacked. Some players want to be pirates and will practice that anywhere they can. The only thing I can think of is to find a section of space that is uninhabited when I want to mine.
Other problem: When I was here before there were many mining bots and the huge rocks we saw before were gone. All that was left was tiny boulders. If that is the way it is now (or worse), I won't even think of mining on Eve and look elsewhere.
Having a large cargo hold is nice though (about time). |

Thanks for the other space game options. Don't have to worry about being lonely. Even a massive multiplayer game is just a lot of players that play on their own. They play in raids, but usually don't know who they are playing with. MMO's have lost their mass appeal and players are going back to standalone games. This is why the Eve population is shrinking. When I played before, there were fewer than 10,000 players on it. When I first started there was less than 5k and it had huge ore rocks. They let many join without increasing the resources. Bad idea. |

Bots seem to be much less of a problem now then when I left (about 9 years back). The starter systems are often mined out... but I haven't seen issues in other places. Mining is not particularly profitable at the moment (not compared to previous times).
Wardecs are still a thing. Trying to convince others to attack you in order to get the ability to come back and kill them is still a thing. Suicide ganks are a thing as well (people will attack you with 2-million isk catalysts able to take down poorly tanked mining ships... because even with being concorded they profit by taking your stuff).
It's still a game involving lots of instances players screwing over other players. That (to me) adds to the fun of the game. Even when I'm doing something that isn't PvP oriented... I have to be aware of others and take steps to counter them. I'm not trying to kill them... I'm trying to run away/survive. That's a type of PvP of its own... and is one that takes part in nearly every aspect of eve. Embrace it... that danger is what makes it fun. |

You could also fly a tanky ship and not fit for maximum greed yield. A properly fit procurer will put you at 60k EHP or so. A skiff even over 100k. That is fairly difficult to gank. If you then keep an Eye out for well known gankers/ganking ship types in your belt, steer a bit clear of the warp-in-point and warp out if something looks like it could gank you, you should be fine, even if you don't hide at the ass-end of nowhere.
Concerning the ore itself - bots or no bots, there are way too many players who like to mine in highsec (so the whole ganking situation is still not nearly bad enough). So, in many systems it will take just a few hours from downtime to clear most belts. That being said, there are plenty systems where you can still find boulders later in the day, but you may have to go look for them. |

i dont think ccp will make some areas risk free no gank, the bulk of the games content is actually pve its only pvp when you start shooting at another player , its a pity really do think if they had areas for players like yourself they would get more paying people.
who knows in time they might with the alpha model and free to play its clear they are steering the ship to be ganked .
wish you well |

There are other mmo's that are not and will never be PvP. The reason is they don't want to ruin every game. Not everyone wants to kill other players. Do you kill in real life too?
You're making some claims here you really have no basis to be making :
"Even a massive multiplayer game is just a lot of players that play on their own."
- Nope that's one reason why you're not very good at EvE. EvE is a multi-player game, even when you fly solo.
"This is why the Eve population is shrinking."
- You can't really claim to know anything about why the EvE population is shrinking since you've hardly played the game"
"They let many join without increasing the resources. Bad idea."
- Can't have been that bad an idea since the game has survived just as long as WoW (longer actually) and is still WELL in profit.

Why is it you can't seem to apply this same logic to EvE? You did deliberately join a PvP server after all.

in eve you are only a target if you make yourself a target. I've played most of the last 10 years and mainly done mission running and trading, have lost 0 ships to highsec ganks, and had very little downtime due to unwanted war. Most of the wars I've been in have been on the side of the aggressor, and I have access to out of corp alts to evade wars when they are unwanted. There is a reason cash delivery services use armored cars. When I run missions my fits are cost effective, I don't need a billion isk in shiny mods as that just attracts unwanted attention. and when I haul my trade goods I use blockade runners or deep space transports. These ships are only exposed for a brief moment making them hard to catch, and if caught can fit enough tank to beat most suicide gankers. It would take a very dedicated team to catch and destroy one of my haulers.
I don't mine, but be aware there are players that will go around and gank miners for lulz. If you fit a tank and mine in an out of the way system you will probably be fine.

Seems very strange that 70 guys from the vfw would quit because of your experiences. You also. Oh, well...as you say.
Perhaps you might be interested in being what is often called a "nullbear" if you want to just mine.
E & B is back? Huh. I'll have to look it up.

This guy...
Elite Dangerous has its shortcomings (boring/grindy gameplay, "always-online" single player mode, etc.), but graphics most certainly isn't one of them lmao. I'd say it's probably the one area that E:D is superior to EVE.
Anyway, EVE is "free to play" now (it's more of an unlimited trial than true F2P). If you want to see how the game is nowadays, log in and check for yourself. |

IMHO this ^ right here is your main problem. Most other MMOs are all pretty much the same. They are all progression games. As long as you stick with them and do the PvE and grind your way to max level and grind your way up to or near "best in slot gear" you will do alright.
Eve is older than pretty much all of those other games so did not have to struggle with comparing it's self to them as they weren't even around yet. As such Eve is a very different MMO. This is not a PvE game. This is not a game where you grind levels or gear. This is a game that is all about two things: what you know and who you know.
I will link my obligitory Suitonia link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1hwoFYA_k&t=1s
The above link is a video of an experienced PvP pilot, solo roaming and pwning on a days old alt. This video pretty much proves that Eve is not a game about skill points or "gear" as he is flying a very low skill point character in very cheaply fit T1 ships.
There is a saying in eve that if you ever find yourself in a fair fight then something went horribly wrong on both sides. There is no queable regulated content in Eve and that is by design. You pick a fight with a small gang that you have out numbered and out gunned and they can instantly multiply their numbers in seconds. You can go from a 5 on 3 to a 5 on 30 in a matter of seconds. Of course you can do the same, so in that sense it's fair.
If you are looking for a game that is fair and / or decent then Eve is not the game for you. There are no fair fights in Eve and dirty play is not only allowed but encouraged.
If you want to enjoy Eve then I recommend that you drop all expectation that have been programmed into you by other games and come to Eve with fresh eyes and try out Eve for Eve. Don't play it as if it were like those other progression based MMOs with queable, fixed and balanced content because Eve has none of that.
If you insist on playing Eve as if it were those other MMOs then you will likely have a miserable time. If you can get used to learning from each loss and you enjoy challenge and can get used to the idea that ships are disposable tools very similar to ammo then you might enjoy Eve.

If you fit for max yield in high sec you are asking to be ganked. If you want to fit for max yield go to null sec and mine in a large fleet and watch intel.
Eve is a game about tradeoffs and having to make hard decisions and deal with the consequences. This is not a min / max where you are trying to get level capped or get Best In Slot gear.
The most tracked PvP statistic in this game is kill efficiency. That is the isk value of the ships that you've lost in PvP combat versus the isk value of ships that you have destroyed. That means Eve is very much about doing more with less from a "gear" perspective and also a game of playing the lame duck while you actually have a pack of wolves waiting on the other side of a gate waiting to jump through and deliver anal penetration.
If you want to min / max and sit in a PvP free zone and grind gear then Eve is not the game for you. If you want to challenge yourself and go up against the odds and sometimes still win, if getting better is more important than winning, Eve might be the game for you.

Eve is like all MMO's in that you must accept that you alone do not control the events that have an impact upon you.
There are a couple of factors which have changed from when you played last;
The "Can Flipping" trick is a thing but it is not the same, where at the time if a player flipped your can they became hostile to your entire corporation meaning that any member could engage them but limited only to alliance and corp members, the mechanic has now changed and now gives what is called a suspect timer, this allows any player in the game to engage the "Suspect".
War Decs are still a thing but you could find a corp that has a standing arrangement with one of the hi sec merc groups to protect and not dec your corp or join a smaller corp with good activity levels and stick to quieter areas of space away from main trade hubs and busy traffic routes that are often traveled buy the more aggressive players.
Look in the recruitment threads for mining corps that are recruiting and speak to their recruiters, tap them up for advice even if you don't join their corps because it will be more contextual and most likely up to date.
There are quiet systems out there, I have an alt I run hi sec and low sec combat and relic/data sites with and I have a few systems that I always check because they are usually very quiet and less likely to have been farmed, the same applies to belts.
It would seem like you want to come back to Eve but that you are concerned about the same almost rejection like feeling of the last time, what I would suggest is; train the basic mining skills on that F2P character you created, chat in NPC corp chat and find a nice quiet place to mine, watch local and set your standings to known ganking corps/alliances so that if they come in local you can see them and dock for the brief time before they get bored.
Nothing ventured is nothing gained, you may only confirm your concerns at the cost of a little time, conversely you may discover the game you want, accepting it for all of it's risks and rewards.
Either way best of luck and fly safe. |

Okay, everyone has seriously covered the basic tenets of EVE ad nauseum here, and I agree with the sentiment that it doesn't sound like the game for you.
But if you say you just want to have a relaxing time mining, HOW THE **** ARE YOU TOSSING OUT ELITE: DANGEROUS!?
When E:D first became a thing, I got in at the founder level; for $125 I would get the game and all expansions, ever, for life. I figured even if the game sucked why not. I periodically (usually after an expansion hits) jump on and fart around, and it's a fun game, just not one I can play long-term like EVE. If I could find a game with E:D controls/graphics, in EVEs player-driven world--holy **** I'd never come out of my computer room.
Anyway, E:Ds mining had to be the most relaxing thing I've ever done! flying through a LEGIT asteroid belt, firing sampling probes into promising rocks, finding a good one and literally blasting it with mining lasers, while deploying prospecting drones to grab the chunks you are blasting away and shuttle them into your cargo hold. If you are sitting too close to the asteroid, the chunks of the ore can literally BOUNCE off your ship. Like you HEAR IT clang off your ship.
Like, that's awesome.
And if you want a truly relaxing and fun time in a game, solo, then fit up an exploring ship and just go explore the galaxy in E:D.
Seriously, you sound like you (and your VFW buddies) would LOVE Elite: Dangerous. It's only PVP if you want it to be. You are only on a server with the people you want to be with. You can to combat, exploration, or "industry" (hauling/mining only) to your heart's content. You even get a little badge telling you how kick-ass you are at those three things. My problem with E:D is it feels grindy as **** after awhile.
But I still play it sometimes. These days I just hop in an explorer ship and just pick a star like 100 jumps away, and scan down every single celestial object I find. It's very relaxing and beautiful. Then I get on EVE to blow some ******* up. |

First off: Thank you and you vfw friends for your military service. Empyrion is a fun game in either mode and you can change settings to your liking. Eve is ok but the broken record of pushing buttons and only being in a ship is boring. Get creative try empyrion again, build, hunt, grow food or just mine.

Eve has changed massively as a game in the last 10 years but people are still able to gank you if they want to in high sec (or anywhere else for that matter).
If you do mining just to relax you, then fit for tank not for yield. I used to bait in a procurer, I had a web, scram, combat drones and tank etc but fit strip miners to actually mine, that part of the game cn be quite fun.
Also find a high sec system away from the main trade hubs and their routes, whilst not completely safe you will be safer. Be aware of your surroundings and who is in local etc.
If you stay in an NPC corp yuo cannot get wardecced either, but when you were in that corp you should of haad a mail stating the corp had been decced, nothing much you can do about that accept not present yourself as a target so the dec goes away quickly
Good luck. |
