I know you said you want to do PVE and ease your way into PVP but not starting out that way, but just skip to the fun stuff and join Total Mayhem! Especially if you have the ISK ready, I think you’ll have more fun with us.
We’re a PVP-focused small gang corp with the entire cluster (except PL, who you can eventually join if you fly with us) set neutral. We’ve got a few returning players that are looking to (re-)learn, be active in space and get the most out of their Eve time. Come join our public discord if you want to know more: Discord
