Alright, I have been playing EVE on & off for something in the region of 3-4 years now. Recent fanfest has got me all hot and bothered about EVE again and I decided to re-sub. My corp filled with RL friends I used to run missions and do veldspar mining expidtions with is now completely empty.

I think I am ready to expand my horizons a bit. Kinda reluctant to leave my Carebear-ing ways since I invested so much into optomizing my now Navy Raven & missile implant set and can make pretty decent ISK speeding through L4s. I guess jump-cloning is always an option but alas...

So from here with 43m SP under my bealt, little to no PVP experience, where can I go from here? I have basically maxed out every missile, shield, & sub-cap Caldari hull and don't know what to do next short of rolling a new toon to try something different while keeping my main income earner isolated from anything new I try.

Any recommendations on where I should go from here?

So many options, but you know that.  

• RvB
• FW
• Incursions
• Ratting in Null
• etc

Loot-stealing, ninja-salvaging, spying.. just felt like adding to the list of your possibilities. :p

I think your main problem will be to convince yourself to play for fun/hour instead of isk/hour. Just get the ISK out of your head, maan. You may earn money with non-carebear activities, but that's not supposed to be the goal.

Have you thought about wormhole space? With all those shield and missile skills you should be able to jump into a Tengu relatively quick and start learning a whole new side of PvE.

Incursions were fun for a bit and offer tons of ISK but recently they remind me too much of elitist wow guilds who make achivement and gearscore requirements.

I was thinking something similar. I should have my subsystem skills maxed out in 10 days or so and a Tengu is so versitile even if I don't do Wormholes I can probably find other applications for it. I know one person who prefers it over a Navy Raven in running L4s 0.o;;

That being said I did end up branching out of Caldari for a while. For the longest while I liked how Aamar ships looked and dreamed of flying a Nightmare so I have a very respectable level of gunnery skills. Most of it is in lasers but I got most of the support skills to IV or V.

Definately the hardest part of this transition will be what MordragMO brought up. I keep thinking of activities in terms of ISK/hr which is totally the wrong mindset of I am looking to have some fun.
