So I'm at a point where the only gameplay I haven't experienced is wormholes. As a player with quite limited spare time and AU tz this has led me to a mostly solitary lifestyle in game. For years I have flown around lowsec - doing mah thing - but I feel like I'm running out of stuff to do. I'm not scared of pvp although I don't look for it.
What I would like to put to the floor is what is the objectively best part of the game for someone like me to live out of. I'm talking about anywhere. I need to be able to support myself and have an opportunity to make some money. I don't want to farm. I have better uses for my time (ie I make enough money irl that my limited play time is better spent shooting and doing some exploration).
I investigated starting a corp of my own but due to the aforementioned reasons it's not practical.
So throw it at me. I post this because yesterday I thought about unsubbing which seems like a shame because its more like I'm stuck in a routine and I'm bored rather than burnt out.

Well, "solo play" doesn't really get you very far in New Eden (as you've noticed - it's boring).
You could try w-space, but it's likely to end up "boring" again, soon as you learn how everything "works" (as you've done with lowsec).
Suggest that you look for an Aussie corp that's laid back about members online time, so at least you have a decent chance of player interaction (and/or seek out Aussie chat channels)
One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

I am in the same way. I've played all over the map and been in some very large corps. I think if I went back to that, it might work out for me. Some of my best days in eve were spent just hanging out in voice comms.
For now, until i am relocated, I have chosen a C3 LS Wormhole. Several alts doing PI keeps the fuel costs down as well as making a little isk. I run sites, mine gas, mine, react gas and build from the gas products. I have, in the past, done invention, research and made copies for a little added content. For added isk and for fun I also replaced all of the POCO's in my little home.
I guess if I got really bored, I might build a capitol but that would only make me more of a target.
I will second what someone above has said, once you get settled.... it can get boring again. I have kicked around the idea of bringing in a few more people for company and to keep the number of sites down. A small corp that I can charge a little for using customs works well.

You could try mission flipping in an assault frigate.
As a wormholer you're better qualifyd for it than I am.
Scan down a bear in a battle ship ,(if you do some research this could be rather profitable)

Honestly, I think the best way to solo eve is to not worry about money. It's just a grind any way you cut it. So I just buy plex whenever I want more ships to go boom or I want new shiny things. Once you accept that, then everywhere in eve becomes an opportunity for solo fun.
I realize that there are ways to make magnificent bling space dollars by doing relatively simple and not time consuming things with the market. I just haven't taken the time to figure that out yet. My point is that grinding is for people who have a lot of playing time available and are able to play with a group that can make the grind at least somewhat efficient and social. I don't have much playing time, and what I do have, I use to get away from people, for the most part. Sell plex, and have fun wherever you are.

Get something cloaky. T3, maybe a stratios. Or even a stealth bomber to start with. Use a WH to get into deep null or whatever. prowl around cloaked, and jump on unsuspecting people. Get out ASAP before they bring in buddies. Solo PvP FTW.
Also, find Data/hacking sites, but don't complete em. Wait for an Astero to come out. Pop it. Then take thier sweet 50m SoE probe launchers. |

It depends on if youre looking for "Solo" combat, Solo combat, or combat with Han Solo.
One youll find in trade hub duels, one youll find if you look really hard, and the other is quite a distance away and many years in the past..not to mention fictional.
The last one is the solo combat.

Sell your PLEX, buy everything you can possibly need while docked, plenty of fights/duels as soon as you undock.

Joining Faction War is a good choice, decent income, both pve and pvp to be had. Overall it is a fun even if you are solo. Although, YMMV. |

I would embrace the CODE and become an Agent of the New Order.
Not only will you find yourself totally immersed in the 'solo content' that you created by being an Agent, but you'll come to realize that you're helping the Eve Community overall by making hi-sec a much better place.

Uh..anywhere? Seriously you can solo anywhere in eve except for c6 wormholes. Anything c5 and under is soloable in the right ship, along with highsec, lowsec, and nullsec. You're a soloist. Just get that eve playstyle flowchart, throw darts at it, and then pick a direction and fly. For all the "solo is bad" stuff you can solo 90% of content in eve, and I'm not just referring to pve. Get skirmish or cloaky ships and hunt all over null and wspace. Or get a t3 a depot and a bunch fittings and wander null refitting on a whim.

I consider myself solo player. My favorite activity in EVE are fleets which farm headquarter sites in incursions - they consist of mostly random people. Some of them are running 23/7 so your AU TZ won't be a problem. |

Quote:I have better uses for my time
Playing games is not the best what you can do with your spare time. I think you are starting to see it, but your tie to the character and amount of time you invested keeps you from going away, unsubbing. You can start your therapy by living the world of EVE on new level, not only gaming, but creating something out of game, eve related. When you are done with it, send me a message, I will tell you what next step is.
When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues.

You don't need a location, you need a mission. For example, I want to **** * **** on space. I don't know when, or how, or what, but that's my solo mission.
...ok, I actually do have an idea about how and what and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need a lot of pretend $$$. A lot.
...end transmission...
