If its "The Worlds Collide" or something close to that just drop it, its harder than some L2 missions.

That was the one. I got hammered very quickly. I'll revisit that one later then. How do I deal with pirates at asteroid fields? I have 2 mining lasers, should I drop one and throw in something offensive?

I warp out..

Some people have drones to defend them. Others have freinds to defend them. Lots of options.

FYI: The Wikipedia article on this game has a link to the 14 Day Trial.

Yes or start your minimg career in .9 or 1.0 space. I have been afk mining in .9 space for about 3 weeks and have never seen a rat. Or if you mine in lower security sectors keep hopping from one roid belt to another until you dont find any rats. Thats what I do when I Ninja mine with frigates in .4 space.

On the "worlds collide" mission just let it expire, I did a couple of hours of courier missions after this expired and regained my status with that agent. Its not a n00b mission by any stretch of the imagination.

This game is so boring. I'm sitting here waiting for my cargo hold to fill up.

[Jon Miller]

A lot of people find mining boring.

The interesting part of EVE is what happens to Alliances and Empires, as well as the excitement of flying ships into complicated NPC combat.. or flying in Low Sec with the chance of attack looming.

I tried it a little and it wasn't the most exciting thing. I was pretty impressed when I came upon a mining fleet cleaning up an asteroid field. Those ships are pretty big.

One of my corp buddies got a Hulk this week, and what he could do to an asteroid feild was simply amazing.

ya mining is boring but its a steady income, and I can set up a mining operation solo with my hauler, go afk, come back a few times and the next thing you know the hold is full.

So I set up and go cook dinner or help my kids with homework or whatever.

When I have more time to play, I do missions or ninja mine in lo sec. Or haul stuff for my corp.

[DrSpike]

Great, a game where you can play and cook dinner at the same time!

[conmcb25]

Its truely amazing ins't it

Sandbox games FTW D

[Nubclear]

Perhaps, but I'm not about to pay them for the privledge of being able to go cook dinner while my game plays itself

[Snotty]

well you pay for the bits while youre at the keyboard. you get the afk cooking mining for free
