There's not many things that are barred from a trial account. Although I didn't know Faction Warfare was one of em. Faction warfare I hear is pretty fun. If I ever get tired building sandcastles with my Corp/Alliance/Coalition, or get tired of their wars to kick over other peoples sandcastles, then I'd probably go straight to trying out Faction Warfare(FW). FW isn't perfect, but it will give you action. It would change your gameplay experience, and probably make the subscription worth it.

Alternately, you can find a corporation that operates out of low-sec space, or null-sec space. This represents a COMPLETELY different way to live. And I'd suspect that they're a bit better at helping new guys get their feet on the ground and up to speed. I'll double the recommendation for Brave Newbies; My corp had moved down there for a bit to pick on them in the past, and their fightin' spirit was strong.

Another option are to join a corp that's in one of the largest coalitions. These tend to have excellent support programs, offering a huge amount of resources and expertise to draw from. By necessity, they're very organized and competent. That's what I did, and I'm still there and happy as a clam. We just wrapped up a big war, where I was joining fleets of hundreds of pilots every day. I was in fights that had over a thousand ships crammed in one spot in a tightly organized brawl. We were part of the biggest PVP fights in MMO history. So there's something good to find in Null-sec, too.

Either way, all of these corps want commitment. If you're on a trial account, corps will be possibly less inclined to bring you in, as you represent an investment of their energy. And trust. Every new member is a potential spy, after all. So I suggest taking the gamble, shelling out a couple bucks, and help turn this game into something great. Because, especially in Eve, you get out what you put in.

As for the Caldari Starter Pack, I don't know what that is.

If you're talking about the steam starterpacks then no, not really. If you're talking about the limited edition 10th anniversary pack then yes, there are some things in there which you could sell fit a respectable nest-egg. I would however suggest that you good onto those items until you've figured out hours not to get scammed and you know what you want to spend the ISK on.

What might be more beneficial Ann's less expensive would be to start over with a 21 day buddy offer trail account. For more info on the buddy offer read the stickied thread at the top of these forums out just shoot me a mail.

Space comes in 3 flavors. High security, low security & null security (or 0.0).

In high sec the space police will swoop in to exact revenge on any one who unlawfully opens fire on some one else.

In low sec there are no space police but there are sentry guns on stations and jump gates that react like concord and sting a bit.

In null sec anything goes

I've had that problem myself in the beginning, the best solution for me was to simply not accept doing boring stuff. I would try something (PI, missions, mining) and found it a waste of my free time so I instantly decided to stop doing it. I kept digging till I found something I DID like (exploration) and put inthe effort to learn that. Everyone likes different things ofcourse so try a whole lot of stuff, really try it, and then decide.

If you choose to do something that requires almost no input (mining), you don't like it and you keep doing it anyway (for whatever reason) then you yourself are at fault. Put in time to find otherthings to do, ask around and go do stuff that may seem difficult, generally things that are difficult will keep you busy for a while.
