Hey all!
I'm pretty new to EVE - played many RPG's, but I'm wondering what's in store for me in EVE. What is it that most folks do as they progress? I don't see missions keeping my interest very long.
Thanks!

0.0 is end game.
you build a corporation and take over the galaxy, or join a corp and take over the galaxy.

The only real end game i guess would be owning your own titan some thing i don't think any 1 player could ever do. !

basicly, its up to yourself to create your own goals, there isnt alot of limits to what you can do, other than your own imagination.. just keep the goals realistic before moving on to the next thing you want to do. Dont focus too much on learning skills in the start - train some fun skills also..

Short answer: PVP
Slightly longer answer: Corporation/Alliance goals. In my case our goal is to shoot other players so thats what I do, yeah.

0.0 warfare is endgame.
Once you control your own space and fight wars to take others you are "raiding".

Old folks home.
People who think 0.0 is the "endgame" are ridiculous. You don't need to sit and wait to go out there if you want to.

Endgame? No such thing. You do what you want, when you want. Create your own goals and see them through. Whether you choose to be a deep-space industrialist in 0.0 and create a colony of your own, or whether you choose to roam the spacelanes as a pirate, is all your choice.

There are no Blood Raiders in Real Life, so take getting taken far away out of the equation. -

Prove to me they, or their equivalent, do not exist in real life, and you can attempt to use that as an argument.

What seems cool to you? Pirate? Mercenary? Fleet Commander? Industrialist? Smuggler? Trader?
Do that. Then when/if you get bored of it, do another thing. Look at the map: there's your playground.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

I posit the existence of faeries who are completely undetectable by any human means past present or future but are nonetheless everywhere. Prove to me that they do not exist in real life and you can attempt to use that as an argument. -

Forget missioning. Endgame is what you want it to be. Trade, invention, mining, piracy, mercenary-ing, 0.0 territory wars, exploration, etc etc...

End game mission running ship is a state issue Raven with full officer fittings, You will find it easier to get a titan though I'm afraid.

Edited by: Deviant Tactician on 29/11/2007 23:14:52 Build a colony... what is that? Can I create spacestations? If so, what would their function be?
Joining a corporation - is that for pvp? I would consider Shadowbane as one of my top gaming experiences. It had city building and sieges, as well as enough player diversity that I was able to come up with a unique player that was near invincible. It was great for leading battles in that I could call and stun targets... allthough there was no chance I could kill them since I sacrificed offense for defense. heh What do corporations obtain - planets / merchants / etc?
Thanks for all the responses!

There is no endgame!
People build up their skills, isk and assets to PVP.
PVP can be on a small "owning noobs" scale. Or you can use your assets to provide for many and run your own corp or alliance, with aims to control space. You can also do this in someone else's alliance, working your way up to become someone important.

Edited by: Shadowsword on 29/11/2007 23:18:59 As many others already said, in Eve you set your own objectives. You can run a trade empire, or fight among others in wars involving thousands, or even tens of thousands players for weeks or months, be a pirate, an inventor, a miner, all sort of things. The end-game is what you decide it to be.

You can build space stations, yes. They're called outposts. they generate income for you, since the people living around the station pay taxes, but you'll have to defend those stations against other players.

In the old days before battleships and such my goal was a cruiser and then battleships came out and my goal was a BS and then T2 stuff and POS's and capital ships.
CCP keep moving the damn endgame. If they had stopped at cruisers I would have left a long time ago and had a life. The bastards keep adding new stuff and pushing the endgame further away.
I fear that the end game is out of my hands and I am stuck for life.

Get yourself an Polaris ship, roam around in empire and kill everyone. Control empire space all by yourself and you win Eve.

Hey there Minmatar lady. You looking for a co-pilot? (pssst I don't even care you are really a guy pretending to be a girl, as long as I get to fly your titan, I'll do "anything')

If people consider being 1% of the final outcome in a battle, or even being needed there the endgame of EVE, then I will happily announce that I will never be part of the endgame. If you want to actually be needed and further more important to your gang, then low sec is the way to go.
Personally I like gangs where every ship and speciality counts, bringing as many battleships with 200+km range as possible is not really what I consider neither fun nor strategic.
