Arthur Dayn wrote:Thanks everyone.
I'll do some reading today and check out my skill planning tonight.
First priority is finding a nice Corp, and I'll do some mining to re-learn the UI and mechanics (safest way I presume). Probably need to insure my Hoarder, as I don't have that much ISK to fiddle around with and I noticed that it's not insured ;)
With regards to my skills: it's the basic stuff after quickly looking yesterday evening. Gunnery, Frigate (so I could fly a Hoarder/Mammoth), Shields, etc. I would highly recommend doing the tutorials if you still can. You get isk/ships/skills.
GL and Welcome back.

I knew a dude when I was in the original Atlas who mined all the minerals solo (with several alts) for a titan just to prove he could. Took a long long time but he did it, then he quit eve for that damn Tanks game lol.

When I last re-subbed after a long sabbatical recently I knew I wanted a shift in my game play. I had spent all of my EVE career doing PvE missions and mining in high sec. I wanted to try PVP and eventually low sec. I landed in RvB a short while back and have had fun since.
A lot has change since we started in 2006. My advice would be start this character training on ship/gunnery skills which will be useful for PvE and PvP and then check out the website, dev blogs and other media to get a feel for the current state of things and then chose your path.
Cheers!

Arthur Dayn wrote:So. I've decided to re-activate my old account from 2006, and I remember....absolutely nothing!
I've got a 2.5m SP character, apparently flying a Hoarder in the Heimatar system. I've also got roughly 700k SP that I can distribute, probably because it looks like some old skills are non-existent nowadays? Finally, I've got 3 respecs for my attributes, if that's even remotely important in 2012.
Would you fine people advise me to continue playing this toon, or do new characters have boons that outweigh the above?
Thanks!
Sell it and cash out.....

I had the same experience. I played from 2003-2005 and then took a 6 year break from the game and came back in 2011. In the span on 1 year I went from Mission Runner to hard-core trader to Incursion runner now to WHs and low sec roamer all in 12 months.
It will take some experimenting to tell what will be fun for you now, don't be in a rush. Take your time and the SP will be there when your certain. Otherwise just traditional train as you go.

Alright, I've done some reading and will go ahead and do some mining to re-learn the mechanics a bit.
I'm about to purchase a Cruiser (Osprey) and equip it with 3 Mining II lasers. But what on earth do I need to equip it with, for defense against 0.6/0.8 pirates? |

If I tell the OP to specialize in Gallente blaster boats would that be considered trolling?

Here is one option for an Osprey mining fit (no personal experience with Osprey's). As for defending against pirates (gankers), practically anything you get into is vulnerable to suicide ganks. Try to find a relatively quiet system, preferably 0.7 or higher, and be wary of can flippers :)

I've decided to keep on flying a cheap Reaper for now, as I don't have the funds to be able to lose that Osprey...

They're actually really handy when your fighting style doesn't involve lining up with your CTA fodder buddies in neat little rows like Redcoats to trade honourable Abaddon artillery volleys with the enemy. (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) |

No idea about this, but dont feel like dinosaur because you got main orginal character form old times, in fact every day people start play EvE and after few month of skiling they become valuable well skiled characters.
Also even these days meny old mains who play here, still create new alts who become strong after few months even weeks, depend goal, and some people lose this feling who is main and who alt after some period of time, because both chatacters are great.
I remember when i create this character, after two, max three weeks form start i was abble to use raven and cruise missile + decent shield tank, atributes remap help me a lot. EvE isn't game, its style of living. |

The osprey is no longer a mining cruiser, it is a logitics cruiser, get a venture instead.
