Returning player, not sure where to start. 96m SP

I last subbed to the game around 2020. Played for a few weekends and put the game down, was thinking it was going to be forever but here I am.

Looks like I may have played a bit in 2018 as well for a while but honestly can’t even remember.

My consistent play period was between 2008 and 2016. Not sure if this information is any use, but perhaps someone can fill the gaps in terms of “major” changes. I know Citadels came about roughly as I was packing up shop. That’s about all I remember.

Back then I was primarily solo/small group PVP. Never liked the big fleet stuff except the times when we had to defend our WH.

  • Got zero industry skills on any of my characters.
  • Not sure what ships are new, what’s useless and what’s OP (I primarily flew ceptors, AFs, ACs and faction variants of those classes)
  • I’m open to pve exploration stuff
  • Not interested in isk grind, no idea how the games economy is but I assume a couple trillion in assets + few hundred bil in liquid is pretty much anything goes

I don’t really want to go back to solo PVP again. I believe that’s why I’ve picked the game up and put it back down over the past 10 years. No friends lol.

Holy ■■■■ 3bil for 1 month worth of plex is wild, wtf happened.

Also, what 3rd party tools are still working? Killboards? Fitting tools? Maps/Route planners? Wormhole trackers?

Recruitment Center good place to start no matter if you are looking for a corp to join as an individual or an alliance to join with all of your alts.

Markets in the can and has been for years. Zkill is the main killboard people seem to use now. I preferred battleclinic.

Ah those are still around, thought they died when there was that API change stuff a while back.

A few things died but people found a way. A few different market websites came and went. People seem to be using Janice

What’s the goto fitting tool these days? Pyfa still about or is that dead?

The only way to do anything in the game today is to open up your IRL wallet.

The days of fun and reward within the game itself are LONG gone.

Pay2Win, friend. This is Eve.

I was gone even longer than that, so I feel ya. I don’t recognize half the ships flying around now, and half of the ones I do recognize have totally different fittings and bonuses than what I remember.

Thank goodness. I mean here’s what you’d be flying in your Soviet version of Eve…

Begin scanning down data and relic sites followed by harvesting gas from sites that you happen to scan down.

Then run mission agents to complete your day of joyful activities.
