I’ve already downloaded and installed EVE Buddy and EVE Isk Per Hour. And I’ve used Adam for EVE before.

I’m looking at others like EVE One and EVE Empire and EVE Tycoon. What’s your advice on those?

Also, any major game changing news since 2021? (other than they changed all the mining crystals I notice).

Please let me know what your advice is for these apps and anything else you would advise me to get up to speed on after this much time off.

The Monthly Economic Report is worthwhile looking at to see how things like mineral prices have changed. If you don’t already I suggest watching the Oz\_Eve twitch stream for the M.E.R. analysis especially, usually the first stream after the M.E.R. is released.
