Trouble is, as a reasonably senior Exec in a global Corp in 'real life' - and having a young family and other 'real' responsibilities that middle-age brings - I don't have a great deal of spare time - and I certainly can't plan it around EVE.
Question: Am I alone in this? Is there anyone else who is in the same situation and wants to share game advice? If not, I'll just sail off into the sunset and leave New Eden for the under-[insert key demographic here].
Thank you for listening.
You don't actually have to live in New Eden full time to enjoy it. 
I will not deny that there are games with faster returns that don't require such dedication but obviously there is something here that's addictive and fun or you wouldn't feel the need to return. I don't know precisely what that is in your case making it hard to provide any real advice. So "enjoy it" when you can rather than worrying so much over ruling New Eden. You already won the REAL game of life.
Why does this post make me think of "House of Cards" on Netflix. Frank Underwood plays video games. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he plays EVE too in a future episode. |

When I read rookie chat for the first time, there was a 12 year old kid throwing a fit that ended with: "C'mon y'all. Let's get out of here! This is a game for old people.

Like many of you I've been at it since the TRS80/Apple II era, and still live like a big kid watching anime, Star Wars and Doctor Who, much like I did back in the 70s.
Off thread remark, please forgive = I just love your avatar pic. |

Bunches. Micro or pocket games from other companies too like Heltank, Warp War, and Ogre. I got hooked on Starfleet Battles out of those (that one game more complex than EVE.) |
