EVE Online - the Ikitursa Heavy Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole
-
100M is a lot, T2 frigs usually alright, joined bombers bar ops quite a bit when I could. But timing for things often means most of your playtime is doing nothing.
Unironically get yourself into a good wormhole corp - always something fun to do and the money is solid, especially in C4-C5 holes but even C3s are decent. Explo, gas, PvE and sometimes PvP make you good money (oh these Prospects all had Syndicate gas scoops for some reason!) and basically anything you're actively doing can generate content. I'm a singleboxer and still enjoy WH space way more than any other area in the game because of how unpredictable and fun it can be.

This post did not contain any content.
I would be hooked to EVE if it was half its current price, heck I would probably run two accounts.
For me its just mad that WOW sub is 12 and eve sub is 20. One is the most played MMO ever and the other is a niche space mmo.
One has active users in the multiple millions range and other in tens of thousands.
I only have 600 hous in EVE.

How large of a corp do you usually get in a single wormhole?

I do wonder if I should give Albion FW another try. Playing as a free player doesn't even matter for PvP does it? Just need it slower to gain skills/money so not a problem for giving it a try. It was always blobfests in green/yellow zones when I tried it before but I did hear that they were planning on changing things for it and that was quite a while ago now, not played in at least a year.
In both games I always liked small to medium groups, not blobs and not solo.
Albions new FW is even more blobfest, but its much more objective and siege oriented after the update. Both games made a fast travel method for players to get to the front, and the timing is more like the alert system from planetside 2. Overall its a big improvment, you can expirence the big battles that the outlands are famous for, but there are no shot callers and people respawn if they get into the zone in time.
EvEs frontlines are very similar, but without a dramatic fight scheduled every 2 hours.

I would play Eve if running multiple accounts wasn't the norm... It stifles the MMO part so much when a lot of players just run their own group.

Not heard of frontlines for EVE, might look it up

Is the AO one in yellow or red zone? I got kinda bored of people in extremely expensive gear that they can't lose in yellow.

IIRC there are fortresses in both, but obviosuly the yellow zones are more popular, for that exact reason (it is gear capped, so the impact of rich players is minimized)

It varies, the corp I'm in is about 15 people but but many are around 50-100. Bigger than that and it's hard to sustain unless people start getting their own farmholes to make isk which is kind of a pain.

I'm a relatively new player (started late 2023) but I'm having a blast, they're introducing new content pretty regularly (the Odysseus exploration command ship is really fun, and I'm actually the #1 loser of them in the game right now lol) and there's still a slow trickle of new players joining.
Oh man, i love the odysseus. Its capabilities, its model, its sound and look. Took me 4 months of solo gas mining to get it ( and a few loses in between due to ganks because i got bored ) and im now poor but #noRegrets haha
I stopped playing again, and im legit scared to use it but in the right hands it looks to be a nice ship!Its price of 2.5b just makes it way way less attractive to actually use though

time to rewatch Clarion Call
And clear skies

EVE is also everything is player built MMO sandbox, player run economy. Elite is pretty much single player with optional coop.
Not fully player run economy, but it is like 80% player run ye

It's super fun but yeah, pricy lol. My combat fit is basically "big drone Proteus with links" and it makes really good bait - lost my last one to a Tholos/Sentinel combo because I forgot about the breacher pod DoT after I escaped twice, the last tick hit like a fraction of a second before my reps cycled
