Wormholes are likely your best option, since you’re looking for small to medium gang and decent ISK opportunities. Can always take a RL breather when you’re in wormholes, that’s the point of having an active corporation that can cover when you need to deal with business 
Since you’re subcap focused, you’ll get the most out of wormholes.
For your new players, they’re also a solid option. Good income and engaging gameplay.

Should definitely check us out, small PvP group that’s been playing together for years. More content than you could ever want, great small gang and medium gang brawls. Consistent content so you’d be able to hop on for pings… usually always something going on in EU and US times. IRL meetups and a tight-knit group… we’re going to EVE Vegas and were at EVE North and EVE London.
