Here's a short review to discourage you. 99% of the time your playing is going to be spent mining an asteroid. Transporting it to a base, rinse and repeat. While that is happening... your waiting hours/days/weeks/months (because that's how long it takes) to learn a new skill, so that hopefully, one day, you'll be able to get away from the mining business to be a fighter. The game is actually quite boring. The most boring MMO I have ever tried to play. Also keep in mind, that controlling your space ship is not intuitive AT ALL. It's almost all autopilot, no joystick control whatsoever. You can dbl click your mouse in some random blank space to get your ship to head in that particular direction though. But as I said, it would have been better if you could fly around with a gamepad or something. In other words, because of the way training works. By the time your ready to move on and try something new, the games says "No, you still have a month left to train for level 5 drones". etc. And there is really no way to speed that process up. EVE is a game of time invested, not skill. Here's a better TL:DR If you wanted to play an MMO that felt like a real job. You'd be better off just getting a real JOB!

  • It's nothing like that. EVE is what you make of it. If you spend all your time mining and you hate it, you're doing something badly wrong.

  • i did only say 99%. And yes it is.. like that. Because mining is the safest route in the beginning until you can train to actually get the skills required to fight, and the capital to replace your loses.

  • No, it seriously isn't. It isn't difficult to get a ship that is perfectly capable of running combat missions. I was soloing level 3 missions with only a T1 Destroyer early on, and by the time I could fly a cruiser I was playing support for a couple of mates flying level 4s and 5s. The only time I've mined is if my friends were because we were waiting for someone to turn up, the corp was running a mining fleet in the vicinity and I fancied a boost in my income, or we were waiting for a fight to start and the perpetrators weren't in the system yet so we could go back and forth making some quick cash before we started blowing each other up.
