I fired up my account to see what's going on. Remember that I've done nothing in 0.0 for years. I kitted out a covert ops ship for fast warp and started off with a pilgrimage to New Eden which I've not done for a long time, that was as boring as it used to be and so I decided to head down to Feythabolis to see if anything was happening where I used to live.
Going through HED-GP was painless, that used to be a real bottleneck system that was camped pretty much 23.5/7 but I sailed through there with nobody in sight.
About seven or eight systems down the pipe, I got caught in an interdictor bubble but I cloaked and got out of that easily. That particular system had 102 people in it so I warped to a moon and then approached the far gate from a different direction in case there was a bubble there but it was clear. A few systems further, someone had a small bubble up but it was badly located that it didn't catch me. There was nobody else in the system anyway so if it had, it would only have been an inconvenience.
I made it all the way down to Feyth, only seeing a couple of people in any systems. I went all around the old area, the places we had big battles, the sites of our old Outpost and up into the deep, remote systems with all the high end ores. Pretty much totally deserted. I see all the Outposts have gone and been replaced by whatever CCP call them now.
Then my client crashed so I just left it until this morning where I flew all the way up without any problems. I jumped into one system and there were a load of people in battleships camping the gate but that was easy, I just bounced off a planet to make sure I approached the exit gate from a different direction which avoided the bubble that was there.
I don't want to get tied up in Eve again, I spent far too long playing it before so although I've bunged three months subscription on, I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm reasonably well trained but all my game knowledge is eight or nine years old! Yesterday was the first time I've set foot in 0.0 for years.
So I have no idea what to do for a bit except perhaps grind some missions. It wouldn't be fair to join a corp/alliance, knowing I don't want to get heavily involved again. I'm not rich either so I can't just waste cash on kit to go shooty shooty.
