I think I'm done with the early stuff in EVE, time to figure out what I want to do already I guess.
You could join a wormhole corp. There's one that actively recruits inexperienced people and trains them in a sub-corp (in order to avoid them getting scammed, I guess). It always seemed interesting to me. I think they're called wormbros? They have a sub-reddit and either they're linked in the EVE sub-reddit or they they post there every few months. And there's always Uni as another alternative.[/quote]I have mixed feelings about my wormhole jaunts so far.
Big negative is I've yet to actually hack any sites successfully. I've spent about 3-4 hours scanning down sites in w-space, and have come across one site that spent some time trying to hack, without success. I've put another couple of points in hacking since then, so I'm hoping that'll make things a little easier. We'll see I guess. People keep saying there's good money in there, so hopefully I'll find some sooner or later. I came across about 3-4 gas sites last night though, and was sorely temped to train up the necessary skills and hop in with my venture and try to grab a little. Other big minus on a wormhole alliance is I need a good amount of "safe time," between wife and kids and such. I can always cloak of course, which is nice, but I'm not really doing much during that time when I'm hiding. Back in high-sec I can at least mine stuff, haul things, or flip items in the stations for fun and profit.
All in all though I'd like to spend more time there, it's a lot more exciting and interesting than anything I'll find in the safer areas. At this point I'm mostly content with making day trips, but we'll see. Trying to balance fun, with "safe" activities, with the eventual need to have the game pay for itself.
