So after many many months I've decided to resub to my once favourite game after getting seriously bored with the other 99% of mmo's out there, even the new releases. I had a quick familiarization with the game in the form of a trial account then jumped by onto my main.
I sat there in the station in my drake and thought, well what do I do now? There's a manufacturing agent here so I started to do missions for him in the hopes of some nice non-isk rewards but I'm not getting anywhere.
I had a look in my Evemon program what I was upto last time I was playing and it seems I was looking into scan probing so I've set my skill learning in that direction while I do courrier/mining missions for the agent but here's the thing.
I'm well bored! I'm not in any player corp atm and although I have a drake, badgerII and retriever I can do most things from trading to combat to mining I still find myself bored, with little human interaction and little stimulation.
What should I be doing with the ships available to me? It's been a while and I'm quite the noob again.

Yes I've read a little about this, I've also read that the risk isn't worth the reward on several posts but I think I should read some more. Half of my time in Eve is spent reading lol.

Fit a kestrel as cheaply as possible, hit that shiny new "Militia" button in the station, "Sign me up!", X up in militia channel and start burning towards nearest lowsec.
Seriously, FW is made for you. It's designed for YOU, the guy in highsec with meh skills and a bit of cash they don't mind losing, bored out of his mind.

Material reward is definitely lacking currently, but it turns out that you quickly learn not to care about that as you charge around lowsec capping points and pewpewing things. It's FUN!
The risk is you lose your ship. Which is why everyone's bumming around in T1 frigs and stuff. Pod might get caught, but you'd have to be unlucky, busted three times and my pods still intact.

Keep your drake in a mission station for ISK making. Buy cheap ships and get in the FW for fun.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

If you orient by risk vs reward all the time you'll end up sitting in high sec farming Veldspar with a Hulk or doing same thing with a Raven and missions.

Thanks for the replies, I'll admit this FW does sound appealing. What possible risk is there ruuning around in a Kestrel with crappy implants that I probably would notice if they went pop lol.

for 5 mil you can get a few jump clones here and then you can have a cheap pvp clone and a clone with some expensive learning implants that you can use when you're not playing eve

Leave the drake behind or sell it if your low on isk. Grab some frigs,destroyers and cruisers and join an Empire militia. youll be hobnobin with a swarm of pewpew hungry players looking to have fun.
For the first time in my time in eve im not worried about my level of isk and how it can impact what fun i might have in eve.
If you have no ties to any faction, I'd suggest joining the Amarr militia. Wouldnt mind seeing a balanced number of Amarr vs Mimtard packmules. Caldari is where everyone and their momma is at.

The risk is low, pewpew in frigs = cheap. Doing some level 2 missions would easily allow you to recover from your losses. I'd suggest pewpewing and then heading back behind the front lines to farm missions for isk and gear or mine to build your own ships/gear/ammo and head back to the front for more fun.
the risk is little isk but the rewards is a truckload of fun.

I would fight for Minmatar if I could, but I did lot of missions for caldari when I first started playing Eve, so every other faction hates me it seems. Even though I run missions for minnie level 4 agents, it seems the faction standing hardly increase at all.
Probably lots of players in the same position as me.
Its boring playing caldari. Its like driving a volvo.

Number one thing you should do is get in a player corp. Really adds a lot to the game, in many different ways. Eve is a team game plain and simple. I know some guys out there enjoy avoiding wardec in npc corps and running missions, getting all the best faction/officer gear and run missions very fast. But in the end what the hell are u going to do with all the ISK and Lp u accumulate?
Earning isk is a mean to a end. PVP.
Simply EVE is a pvp game, nearly ever mechanic of the game is somehow tied into pvp. People who mission run, salvage, loot the wrecks. Sell all their stuff, which in the end will someway be involved in somesort of pvp. (Trade or Combat pvp)
So now u have ur drake, retriever, and badger use these ships as tools to earn isk with a group of people, use the isk to buy ships to then lose with a group. And you will learn the wonders of EVE.
