What are the best things to do in pve ? Are missions worth doing ? Minning ? What’s left on the pve side if we just don’t want to PvP in an alliance or corps in null sec ??

Missions are reasonably lucrative, specifically L4 burner missions (lower level missions are a waste of time). Right now SoE LP is disproportionately valuable, since they’re getting a new ship next week.
Mining should be avoided, it’s incredibly boring and only by not doing it can we convince CCP it needs an overhaul. It’s also very much not lucrative, as a solo miner you earn a pittance, you need a massive multibox fleet with boosters to make worthwhile ISK, both in null and highsec.
Other PvE activities include Incursions, Abyssals, and Exploration. Incursions are more multibox content, abyssals are pretty fun and are most like ”dungeons” in other MMOs, except they’re on a timer. Shoot tougher than average rats in a chain of sites with special buffs and debuffs for the type of site. Exploration is scanning down sites (a minigame) followed by either fighting rats or hacking cans (another minigame). It’s pretty fun and reasonably lucrative. FW also sort of qualifies as PvE.
Industry and trade/hauling are technically PvP, but are often called PvE since you’re not actually fighting the other players, you’re just in competition with them.

@Synthetic_Infomorph thank you so much for that info. I’ve played for a long time since 2008 ish on and off done it all And I’m just tired of big alliances PvP. So I’m just after something I can log on and do for fun even if it’s grinding. I can sit back listen to music and chill yet have a good blingy ship and make decent isk. I’ve had titans supers all dreads. I’m just ready to relax. If you can advice me or a good corp with people who do those LP missions or location id appreciate it. Is Guristas worth doing or valuable or is it Angel cartel that’s better ?? Thank you also I might try abyssals but scanning is not my thing lol never was haha
Abyssals involve zero scanning (except for the people who wish to find your trace and kill your ship once you return).
Escalations could be fun and challenging.
Flying your own Odyssey in the upcoming new exploration command ship also seems like a nice PvE thing to do.

If you’ve never done them before, run the Epic Arcs… Most have challenging missions and they all have great storyline plots…
For an even greater challenge with an intriguing storyline plot, could run Cosmos Missions… Granted some of those older Agents refuse to work but most of them are still active…
Main thing to remember about Cosmos Agents, make sure you’ve research their missions and are ready to run them before talking to the Agent, those mission offers are on a countdown timer and if it expires, it’s considered a fail… You only get one chance to complete their missions, do not fail, quit or let the mission offer expire, it could lock you out of accessing other Cosmos Agents..
