You cannot play this game solo, even with multiple accounts. If you can, can someone tell me how? I don’t want to be rich; I just want to sit in a Hi Sec belt and mine in peace.

Friend, this is, at the core of its gameplay, a PVP game.

EvE actually stands for Everyone vs Everyone

When you undock your ship, or ships, you consent to anyone outside with you, to engage you, and destroy you if they so wish.

Your job is to outsmart them, consistently, and THEN mine in peace like you want.

Otherwise, don’t sign up to something you will regret afterwards.
