Would you like to give lowsec a try?
I know it can be intimidating, especially if you’re inexperienced at pvp or have no experience with lowsec in general. However I think it’ll provide a good base for you to reach out and explore other areas of eve like you want. You can still run missions (they also have much better rewards/lp than highsec) and we have plenty of access to good moon mining however you can also try exploration (DED sites etc) and you’ll get to learn the skills that will help you anywhere else such as looking at local, using directional scanner, and learning some pvp.
We at Filthy Peasants are lowsec US TZ pvp corp that lives in the Solitude region. We’re a RL-first corp as most of us are working adults and we have no activity requirements. This means that our activity varies a lot during the week and our peak activity is during the weekend.
We like to invite new, enthusiastic people to our corp so that we can introduce you to pvp and show you how much better EVE is not living in highsec. You are free to ask any questions or explore any areas of the game you want. If your interested I’d love to chat with you in game or in our public channel Open Filth
You can check out our recruitment post and our killboard too to see what we are all about.
