I know a lot of this crap is crap I should be able to figure, but what else are forums for, right?
I used to play a couple years ago (before removal of learning skills) and built a nice PvE toon for myself. Total carebear mission running action in Empire space. I had a Domi with faction sentries and could solo 4s if given enough time, and when I got the Corp involved could crush through and make great carebear isk.
I trained up and started charging around in an Enyo running missions. That was fun for a bit.
Did exploration. Found some cool sites. Got 'sploded a lot in lowsec. How can people scan down so quick?
Ventured into nullsec with a new Corp, did some operations. Did a lot of hanging out terrified I was about to die all the time, but couldn't commit enough time to really do much more than "oh, we've another tackler, great". I also didn't enjoy playing on someone else's schedule.
So I quit [no you can't have my stuff]. Summertime rolled around and I couldn't really justify playing more so that I could buy new shinies and run missions faster to make more money and run missions ... faster.
Since then RvB has sprung up and Faction Warfare has turned into a thing (it's a thing, right?). Is it worth coming back to join in the constant state of warfare? Is it a viable way to make money for ship replacement, or does everyone run alts?
My main fear, well not fear but that's the closest word I can come up with, is building an alt just for the purpose of shooting people, and having a mission running main for the cashflow, and having to mail money around and ships and which has what skills and blaaaaarg.
~ TL;DR? Can I RvB or Faction War in my main and be happy, or is there pretty much no mission running when you enter into the forever war?

both viable to make isk. RvB you can mission outside the warzone and fight in cheap stuffz. FW you can make a lot more isk right now, as well as more versaility when pvp'ing. However, with the winter expansion FW will be changing significantly.
Go check out the endless threads in Warfare and Tactics section of the forum is you want ot know more about how to make isk in fw and what pvp is like in teh two different war fronts Low-sec Best-sec |

Just as long as FW leads me to a place where I can replace the ships I lose I'll be happy. Megh, more like content.
A lot of the stuff I've read up is either "zomg nerfbat on FW" or "You can always make isk salvaging". |

OP, from what I hear FW is a huge ISK faucet. I also hear its full of bots and 23/7 farmers.
I cannot verify this information as I have not participated in it...I just read general discussion. |

there are a number of alts who run plexes afk. However, that doesn't really affect what you would do in joining fw, if anything it takes a bit away from the worth of your own plexing and might frustrate you with targets that you cant really shoot. Again though, this is going to change soon.
You will for sure be able to replace what you fly. Low-sec Best-sec |

Thanks Karl, I will most likely be un-retiring to give it a shot.
Jim, not for nothing but when I did play I was never ready for anything, you just got to go do it. In EVE you almost certainly never 'know enough'. |
