I've been playing eve for a few months now, got around 5.5m skills, nicely fitted caldari navy raven what is able to tank almost every lvl 4 security mission without without shield going under 95%(I've been doing missions A LOT)....and Im getting bored like hell Missions are too easy for me, but Im kinda scared of PVP because of I'm not that skilled yet, and I'd never be able to get CNR with similar fit back......I wanted to try mining, but I'd need shitload of skilling for that...Been running missions with corp but thats even more boring than running em solo. Any suggestions what I could do? Like I said I'm pretty much focused on pve, I have decent skills for that..but nothing exciting, 5,5m skills isnt much...I dont really know if I should continue.

Solstice Project I'm So Meta Even This Acronym 1497	Posted - 2012.04.26 20:51:00 - [7] - Quote Well, then it's time to start playing the game, instead of just doing boring grinding against NPCs ... Welcome to the sandbox ... players create the content. If you just do missions, you miss like 99% of the game. PvP is something you have to move forward to. There's no point in being afraid ... it's a game. Just do it. And stop being emotionally attached to your crap. It's just crap. And even worse ... it's not even real crap.

Hello and welcome to EVE. You will have noticed that this forum is ... one of a kind. I suggest you quit only your corp. Seems they are useless to you and only want to take taxes of you. Pack away all the expensive ships for now, get into cheap frigates and cruisers and join the militia. Alternatively join Red vs. Blue.

Mining is a trap Seriously though, the best way to get over your fear of PVP is to actually do it, it doesn't need to be expensive, it doesn't actually need masses of skills. To get a nice balance of PVP/PVE I would suggest looking into Red vs Blue, it's cheap PVP with cheap ships & cheap fits, if you run short of isk they don't mind you either leaving corp to run missions or jump cloning out of the combat area to do the same. Alternatively if you don't fancy PVP look at wormhole corporations, the NPCs are magnitudes less boring than the ones you find in highsec and the rewards are well worth it. Be warned though wormholes are technically nullsec, local doesn't work and PVP will happen to you. Also don't be tempted to think that because your CNR can handle everything a mission can throw at it that it will do the same in a wormhole, it won't and it will die, leave it in empire. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside.

Dude, 5,5 million is like... 4.5 million more SP than you need to PVP. At 5.5 millions your clones cost next to nothing. Now go, set a jump clone and get into a clone with no implants, buy and outfit some T1 frigates and go join Red VS Blue, or, get a drake and go join Faction warfare... just LAY OF THE DAMN MISSIONS damn it... Or simply, get a frigate and jump into 0.0 and go for a roam, see how far you get. Train into a stealth bomber, covert ops cloak and torps. Do not care about the bomb, bring something to probe out GRAV sites. (kill miners)

So you scared of pvp...mkay I'm gonna try to help you out, you'll see it's cake ! Pick anything frigate sized you can fly, fit a disruptor first, an AB or MWD, shield extenders (no matter the meta) and whatever you need to go faster like nano or "thing that makes you go faster", undock with some friends and go tackle stuff. Yes you'll die easily and quick but what the heck, those frigs you can get them for free at rookie level. That's it, pvp is that hard and expensive to start.

There are many like those. RvB can be a good change. Maybe you are stuck in a corp/alliance that is no fun for you. People like different things in EVE. Some people like the to chill others drama and there is always those that like to be in the line of fire. In eve there is a "market" for everything. Think what you like and then do it. If you dont know then try pvp. RvB seems to me to be a very fun atmosphere, so if i were you, i would give it a shot. GL HF!
Zimmy Zeta Paramount Commerce Masters of Flying Objects 991	Posted - 2012.04.26 21:18:00 - [25] - Quote Sell your CNR, seriously. This ship is an abomination and makes you a bad and clueless pilot. Warp in, stand still, spam missiles until everything is dead. No wonder that you got bored, consider this a good sign. Fly other ships, cheaper ships, ships that you will actually have to pilot to achieve anything. Train gunnery skills. If the CNR is so expensive that you won't risk to lose it, then it is clearly the wrong ship for you and prevents you from having fun. Maybe try an other, more dynamic race? Like you, I started the game as Caldari (well, everyone went with Achura back in those days, but that's a different story) but switched over to Minmatar within the first weeks of my Eve life, when I realized that immobile missile spamming Draeks and CNRs are not really my idea of engaging spacefights. -.-
Ban Bindy Bindy Brothers Pottery Association 112	Posted - 2012.04.26 21:19:00 - [26] - Quote Excitement of pvp includes: 1. Sitting in station for a long time waiting for your pvp fleet to get organized. 2. Flying around a lot 3. Sitting at a gate for a long time 4. Finding a target while the FC on teamspeak barks an order to do something but you are too slow to do it and the target is dead by the time you figure it out. 5. Finding a target who shoots you first because you are the one in the tackle ship because that's all you can do yet. 6. Running from the fight that you find because they have more logi than you do. 7. Camping in a big fleet at a gate and shooting what comes through it in a busy system like fish in a barrel. 8. Getting in a huge blob fleet and waiting, waiting, waiting. Oh, yes, pvp is nothing but excitement.
Kuehnelt Amarrian Retribution Amarr 7th Fleet 15	Posted - 2012.04.26 21:28:00 - [27] - Quote ShOoTeRaa wrote: Missions are too easy for me, but Im kinda scared of PVP because of I'm not that skilled yet Your options are: 1. Be successful at something that bores you to tears. Six months from now: still successful; still bored. 2. Suck for a while at something that's actually fun. Six months from now: still having fun; might have learned a thing or two. Two options within #2: 1. Do PvE where you're threatened by other players. Rat in low, null; do radar and mag sites in low and null. Try the pirate epic arcs. Try taking normal missions from pirate agents. 2. Join FW. Contrasting it from RvB: FW is in lowsec, systems aren't so polluted with neutrals that your dscan is useless, you can fight across a huge battlefield (four regions in Amarr-Minmatar space) instead of in three systems, you have fights of a scale that can ever fall between 'arranged 1v1'...'enormous why-am-I-even-here blob', the environment comes with its own activities (system occupancy plexing, FW missions) that encourage you to be in space and run into the enemy, the environment is interesting: you have good reason to remember the names of systems, the names of enemy corps (that guy... probably has backup, which is probably a falcon). Of FW plexing: I was once in a gang of tier 3 BCs and faction BSes that failed to take a system because, while we shot the bunker, the Minmatar kept seizing ship-restricted plexes with thrashers and T1 cruisers - and we couldn't ship down in numbers enough to fight them.

Step out of the safety zone. Create a jump clone, put some +3s into it, and start investigating the possibility of the game outside of hi-sec level 4s. Sine your alternative is to quit, you have literally nothing to lose.

Lots of fun actually and you may run into some PVP while doing it. This. I'm usually an incurable PvP type person in every game I play, as I was when I started Eve, until I discovered that some areas of PvE in eve can actually be fun. Not because of how difficult it is to kill the digital dragons, but because the obstacles you are overcoming are provided by other players. This is why I raid wormholes in unnecessarily expensive T3s, it's probably the only form of PvE in any game I've ever found entertaining. I probably wouldn't advise you start out in shiny stuff though, learn mechanics first etc. "I don't troll, I just give overly blunt responses that annoy people who are wrong but don't want to admit it.
