EVE: 5 million isk. It’s a start
I’m slowly regaining a rudimentary understanding of EVE, the best I ever achieved anyway. I’m making 500,000 isk an hour with my newbie mining business working in 0.7 space. I’ve purchased insurance for my Vexor, a Gallente Cruiser, and my five Drones protect me easily from the occasional pirate. I need an upgrade for my Shield Booster to work comfortably in lower security space, but I’m doing fine so far. I’m not looking for excitement yet.
Mining will get boring in a week or so. It’s a great way to get re-acquainted with the game though, and you can watch a Netflix movie, or write, or do EVE research on the web at the same time. I can’t mine unattended, the 0.7 pirates would take a good while to do me major damage, but they eventually could.
There is plenty of time to figure out what I want to do in EVE. As everybody says, EVE is open ended. You get to choose your future and path. Mindless grinding is my specialty. Maybe I’ll stick with that.
