Hi Navanshi,
If you are looking to get the best start at Indy, a place is shallow nullsec with us in Guns is going to be an excellent place to start. Nullsec has the best rocks to mine in the game as well as the best bonuses to manufacturing (you get more stuff for the same ingredients). We have a dedicated team for helping new folks understand how to be safe and thrive in our space, and in some cases our space is safer than High Sec.
We have no compulsory PVP, but if you one day do decide you would be interested in that stuff (your ship is replaced for free if you loose it in corp PVP events by the way) then you would be able to join the voluntary home defense fleets.
Check out our ad when you get a chance and feel free to mail me in game with any questions you might have. Hope we can talk soon
