Hi,
I used to play eve alone, and i focus on missions and trading.
Some weeks ago I find out an old friend of mine also plays eve.
Now we want to do something that both can enjoy but i don't know what.
Another problem is the fact that we play only 2 or 3 hours a day ( a bit more on weekends).
Tried Wormholes: Altough we can deal easily with sleepers, pvp is not our thing (perhaps because we suck at it..)
Tried Exploration in high-sec: It's nice but with 2 or 3 hours a day we spend most of the time scanning for.
I was hoping you guys can suggest some things for a two-guys-team to play.
thanks. |

Incursions? A race around the universe? PVP each other to train for PVP against others, a small 2-man gang.

The first things that came to mind would probably get deleted by the mods and get me banned.
It's scary how the internet has ruined my imagination.
Please vote for Malcanis in the 2013 CSM elections, unless you were going to vote for Mangala Solaris, wich would be awesome, too. |

Incursions will take hour(s) just to get into a fleet. Faction warfare is more suitable in this case (equip warp stabs to avoid PvP and do defensive plexing). |

Get a couple of really good ships and then scan down a wormhole.
Then go in and blitz the sleepers etc.
Only 40 rounds per gun... I hate reloading in the middle!

This started out good advice, until the apart about d plexing with stabs. Follow that advice if you want to have no fun in EVE. Plexing is only fun when looking for a fight, other wise you just sit and watch a timer tick down, very boring. In my ever so humble opinion two people is the perfect size of a PvP fleet. Fly around FW lowsec and you will find similar sized gangs to fight. |

Go there and do a PvP-Basic course. If you can't afford the iskies then somer.blink will pay for you.
Best way I know to work out whether you actually like PvP as you get the basics explained on a class and then the next day do a roam. I speak from experience when I say its better (and a lot faster) than working this stuff out on your own.
You and your friend should go give it a try on the same class, see what you think about what you want to do afterwards.
Others can advise better on PvE/industry stuff. |

I like this idea! Form two one-man corporations, name one Blue Man and the other Red Menace. Put headquarters of each corp in systems a couple of systems apart. Perma-war dec each other and fight in inexpensive ships, but no podding and no ECM. Call it Red vs Blue. |

The same things you can do as one person with one alt. You both need to be working at the very limits of control in terms of number-of-alts if you want to actually make it worthwhile to work together. |

Lowsec sites are great fun and the isk is better than highsec. With a trusted scout you can use a pretty expensive ship to clear the sites. And 2 of you scanning youGÇÖll find plenty of them.
Lowsec PI is a lot more profitable than high, and again with a scout its pretty foolproof to move around.
W-space really opens up to a team because the extra guy can fly around and keep an eye on the locals.
I have yet to see a titan, you guys could work together to make that happen for yourselves.
You could do scavenger hunt races against one another, see who can mine a certain amount of each different type of ore.
Or have races to see who can get blown up in 3 or 4 different systems, or by 3 or 4 different alliances. Or just try to make it to Goon or Test base system.
You could each park in a tradehub and price check for one another, prolly make good isk with a realtime trade partner like that.
You could infiltrate a corp with the plan of stealing their stuff.
Try to gank afk miners, its tougher than it seems if youGÇÖve only been on the receiving end.
You could both start new chars and role-play space explorers starting from scratch.
The problem with Eve is that people get option paralysis when faced with unlimited options. Starting new chars with an intended purpose limits the scope of what you can do and may help to spur ideas.
You could devote yourself to ruining one of your factions. I personally have no need to ever go back to Caldari space so I donGÇÖt mind taking faction kill missions against them. They are a great change of pace if you have been avoiding them.
So many players get hung up on making ISK, try not to fall into that trap. You donGÇÖt need the ISK and thereGÇÖs a ton of content that is great fun to pursue even if thereGÇÖs no money in it.
Almost every thing in Eve is more fun with friends. Have fun o/

Thanks for your answers guys!
We are going to try your ideas until we find something we both like.
Actually not all... I have no curiosity for "Touching Tummy Sticks" .

Since you like missions and trading, but dislike pvp, I'd suggest running high level missions together, ratting in as low a security system as you can manage to sneak into, or running as hauler and scout in lowsec for courier missions or for your own inter-regional trades.
If previous posts have interested you in Facton Warfare, another option is Red vs. Blue.
You two could also start (or join) a mining/industry/research corp if that is to your taste.
If you like scamming people, scams are often more believeable when two people work on them together. ("Look! A mysterious and unbiased stranger whom I have never before laid my eyes upon is here to verify that my Miracle Snake Tonic has given him the power to walk.") |

One of you should be in a falcon. The other in a heavy hitting ship. Then go forth and destroy, collecting tears and rage mails as you go. Because nothing gets people more angry than watching their powerful ship slowly die to an inferior force because of ECM.

PvP - two frigs running around is alot more dangerous than just one. The isk is trivial, and even dying you'll have fun.
Exploration - lowsec lowsec lowsec. Do this. Challenging PVE, twice the scan coverage, excellent rewards, need for teamwork, relatively low risk. You'll really enjoy this. Join the "Exploration" channel. Tons of helpful people there. Success/risk depends moderately on your SP and what ships you can fly.
Wormhole Day-Trippin' - Can be good isk, IMO slightly less interesting than the above. Slightly more dangerous perhaps.
Missions - perhaps try some of the epic arcs or do some lvl 4's. Speed and isk should be pretty good. You may find it challenging or boring.
PvP - Get in two stealth bombers and go for a roam to 0.0 See what you can kill. Use your D-scan and generally snoop around, perhaps find a JUMP BRIDGE and camp it. You can typically blow up a fat hauler or something and warp off with plenty of time to spare before the pos can lock you. Or find systems where the ratting index or mining index is very high.
