Lots.
Almost all of them better than mining, what are you interested in doing?

Anything really. as long as my rookie ship does not die each and every time I try and do a mission.

Rookie ships will explade if you talk about them negatively or look at them funny.

Have you found the career agents yet?

I believe I have.

Here is a chart of some of the things you can look into, it's far from being comprehensive.

Oh thanks man, I'll save the image!

Thanks again for the information!

If you want to "make ISK offline" you will need to get involved in industry. I sold roughly 250 million on the market overnight - while I was sleeping - and 50-60 million of that will be profit. I'll probably sell close to that much through the day - while I am at work. Other characters I own are manufacturing product or inventing blueprints at the same time. Once you understand how the system works you can set your price and wait for the market to come to you - very low maintenance. A nice little cash cow to finance your other activity in Eve.

You can't do this overnight - industry is skill intensive and there is a lot that you can only learn by doing but I was consistently earning several billion ISK per month by my first anniversary in Eve.

A primer to get started: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Industry_Overview

Eve university is one of the best sources of information on the game and they keep it reasonably up to date. Be wary of any information source that is more than a year old - Eve industry has undergone a complete overhaul in the past year.

Rookie ships will explade if you talk about them negatively or look at them funny.

Some things that you could try that I can think of off the top of my head are:
-exploration
-Faction Warfare
-Ganking
-belt ratting
-mission intrusion
-cosmic anomalies
-gate camping
-Complexs
-Station Trading
-Wormhole combat sites
-interregional trade
-manufacturing
-mercenary work
-mission running
-wormhole cleaning

I'm pretty new to EVE and really starting to like the game, I've gotten myself an Ore Frigate and gathering ore and selling, I know it's slow going, just wondering if there is a quicker way to gather more ISK

ingame press F12

this will let find the Career Agents
Then go see Sister Alitura in Arnon

nb missioning is only slightly less boring than mining (ymmv)



to make isk whilst not logged in and playing ...

- goto the eve store, buy plex, log in, sell plex ingame
- * look up "research agents"
- read about "Planetary Interaction"



* a while back CCP changed datacore researching, FW is a cheaper way of acquiring them,.

As for trading, its not very passive since you have to deal with the .01 isk issue.
