I undock, but quickly lose motivation to stay out. I don't even spin ships--I just watch them float in station.
looks like all I'll be playing is Evemon and hit-the-snooze-button until next semester. truth is, I don't know what to do with January. the last time I had a dry spell like this was 2010 and I only logged to catch up on mail.
my roommate suggested finding an alliance, but playing on other players' schedules sounds like work. |

then find a big alliance, as long as you log in every 1-2 weeks they arn't going to notice you don't play all that much. Hey maybe you even play a lot, just happen to be in an unfortunate timezone. =) |

What have you been spending the majority of your time doing up until now? If you don't like the idea of joining a large alliance, you could consider joining up with a faction warfare corp. or perhaps joining in with the Incursions community. The only real limit to what you can do in EVE is your imagination

You clearly need to get into station trading, you don't have to undock and you develop great spreadsheet skills at the same time, while earning good honest isk.

During my career in EvE i try all things in game, from being hardcore miner who spent two years on asteroid belts, a hardcore carebear with 9.9 to caldari state, to null space ally member, ally diplo, a pirate, antypitate, i know how large capital fleet fight and titans taste, i was bored from using jump bridges - CTA... i try FW, POS, PI, exploring, just evey aspect and feature in this game, and not just lick these themes i realy enjoy every EvE features form A to Z in long them, but what now, no idea, waiting for better times, and soon tm ;)
Few years in this game is realy long them, and nothing wrong with you if you wach ships in zombe mode ;)
Take a break from EvE, dont be a slave, somtime berak is good idea, and when feel hungry again you always welcome here.
Yup same here , answer is same as oxylan just take a break.Try another mmorpg/mmofps or anything and stay away for at least a few months.Then after a time come back and se if the drive is there again.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

EVE is what you make of it. If you depend on other players to create content for you then you'll just get bored wherever you end up.
The best thing to do is make goals. And don't just say I want to make X amount of ISK. Be creative and smart. |

I suggest forgetting about "something to do".
Undock, cruise around and search for a populated, but silent system.
The map helps you determine which systems are populated.
Move there ... then start talking. Talk about whatever. Doesn't matter.
If nobody replies within the next five minutes ... try again in a different system,
or start becoming annoying.
Most reason for apathy usually is lack of communication.
If you have trouble finding anybody who you can annoy (*cough*),
fit a cruiser and gank a random frigate, then post the killmail in local
and start making fun of him.
If you're a carebear though ... well, then you deserve your state of mind anyway.

I play on my own schedule. If someone happens to be doing a fleet while I'm on, great. If not, oh well. I'll find other things to do.

When I don't just decide to say screw it and go play something else, I marketeer. It isn't always face value profit making but more about long term EVE objectives. Monitoring items that I would need to make any where from 1 to 8 items. Watching them rise and fall, buying to beat the cartel kind of thing. I had parts to make several thousand medium T2 Elutriation rigs at around 2 mill each. I sold the current pumps when they hit 800 but the time it took to assemble the list was around 6 months and it kept me busy while logged in, just checking various components and building leads on future manufacturing.

Buying PLEX, in my view removes most of the reasons to actually do anything in Eve.

Judging from your set up, looks like you play pretty seriously. From your current apathetic attitide - sounds like burn out. Take a vacation from Eve.
Do any or all of the following;
1. Kiss somebody who is not a relative.
2. Go to a bar - play pool. Drink beer.
3. Do a parachute jump.
4. Catch a really big fish - the one that got away from me will do.
5. Do a triathlon.
6. Climb a mountain.
7. Shower.
8. Go to a nice resturant for dinner.
9. Naked sauna.
10. Play an instrument.
NOw as a bit of advice. Try the following in order. 7,2,1,8, which may lead to 9 and somebody playing your instrument for you. You can mix the order up as much as you like. I don't recommend 2,4,1,9 though. Damn sailor still writes to me.

Everything worthwhile about EVE involves interacting with other players. If your current group does not motivate you to undock, you need to find one that does.

That setup looks familiar, but when I'm in a fleet like that it's with 4 other people. It makes it a lot easier to undock if the setup includes TS/Vent and a beer or 3.

Don't worry, your inability to be facinated by ship spinning is a sign of mental health.
Nothing wrong with taking a break, or you could throw in for something light like RvB or Bombers Bar.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Well at least with 14,735 less hornets, there's more room in the hangar if you decide to spin your ship :)
sorry, just couldn't resist :P
you know you could look for a smaller corp where you could impart your wisdom on folks without needing to undock all the time and without having some bossy CEO barking orders and expecting you to jump every time they look sideways at you, you could chat with them in their corp chat, listen to and share stories of your own and when something comes up that you're interested in doing they would appreciate and even welcome your participation and experience.
just a thought.
