Reinstalled the client again last night, really wish could change character name
I've only kept one account active, fairly new and fly nothing bigger than a battlecruiser. Everything else seems pointless to be honest and a huge waste of (gaming) time.Thinking about heading back to eve over winter
Thinned my accounts down and sold all my super's and titan. Currently have 3 active accounts, In TSK and Test. Might get a titan again if test start using armour

I have got the point where can fly all the T1 faction ships up to battleship, plus have a char with all the mining boats on
I had a lot of fun with T3s, marauders, carriers and dreads up until they started making changes around 2015 - looking at the changes now I doubt I'd even bother with them if I was starting the game now. Capitals are/were a pain logistics wise (bit easier if you were part of a nullsec/lowsec collective of any size) but when a plan came together a lot of fun.
Dreads are the most disposable ships atm, carriers and supers mainly for isk making. Really no point.
Used to be amusing to use them on C5s for ISK making - bit slower than dumping dreads but eh was kind of fun. Disposable dreads aren't really new though - even years back dread bombs were done by the bigger groups that could replace them easily - I miss days like the screenshot below - can't really go back to that in the game anymore.

I miss playing this game, but right now I just cant really justify getting back into it, the GF would kill me, along with the fact I'd probably want to get a new gaming laptop
Manufacturing and empire building has never been better if you are into that.

That will be 700 new-PLEX. They changed how it works a while back.
Its good. I started in 2004 and played a lot until 2010ish and only came back about 18 months ago. I joined a big null sec entity and for a fairly casual player (e.g. RL priorities incl. family, work etc. so my time is limited) it's a great place to be. I can make ISK, I can do some industry work, I jump on fleets that are both fun roams and strategic plays against our enemies. They've also got a great community both online and through Discord and the forums. It's well worth coming back and checking the game out, especially as it's now free to play to a certain degree.
Will fire it up and try and give it another go
I highly doubt it but if there was one it would tempt me to play properly again.

Haven’t played properly for years but always kept my main training, just passed 300m sp
Bombers bar is pretty well organised for some fleet action if you feel the need.

I've just downloaded EVE again. I've never really got into it in the past but I'm hoping that this time around I'll be able to learn the game finally. Although I'm going to start off with a brand new character so I start at the beginning.
Make sure you find a good corp to join. Maybe someone like Eve University (if they still exist) and you want to learn the ropes. You really need to be in a corp to get the most from the game.
Thanks for the tip. I'll play through the tutorial and the first Sisters of EVE missions so that I can learn the basics of the interface again (for some reason I've always found the interface of EVE Online confusing) and then I'll look for a Corp. I do seem to remember EVE University from when I last played the game, so that sounds like a solid choice.
