Talk us through EVE's PvE options!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in EVE Online

Last month we ran a bounty asking you to talk us through the myriad PvP options in EVE. Now we'd like you to do the same for PvE. We're hoping to put together a beginners' introduction to PvE, so we'd love to hear your expert breakdowns of the differing options, including how to do them, how difficult they are, and a few top tips for succeeding in them.

We'll leave it to you to decide whether you provide a breakdown of a single type of PvE or if you write a list with just a couple of sentences on each, although we'd like it if at least one member did the latter. You can enter with text or video. Thanks pilots!

There is a diversity of PvE options in EVE and there is plenty to offer for all playing styles. Take your time until you find something that suits your style. Here are some easy options to get you started:

Missions are easy to moderate level activities, which are offered by NPCs and can range from combats to deliveries to complex challenges. It's always a good idea to consult EVE Survival to understand the enemies before accepting these missions, as well as using ships like the Caracal or Vexor for medium-level combat.

Mining is an easy activity, which is nothing more than extracting resources from asteroid belts that you can then use to sell or manufacture. It's important to monitor the market to find out which ores are most valuable. I also recommend using a Venture and avoiding AFK mining, especially in Low-Sec.

Combat sites can be easy (High-Sec) to difficult (Low-Sec or Null-Sec). These are sites discovered with a scanner that combine combat with a search for loot. The ideal is to always start in High-Sec with ships with Algos, and use scanners and probes. Of course, always keep an eye out for escalations so that you can maximize your rewards.

Planetary Interaction (PI) is the configuration of colonies on planets to generate passive resources. It's a fairly easy activity. But a few tips: focus on those products that are in high demand, such as fuel blocks. Also avoid dangerous systems for transporting your goods.

I really like the fact that the EVE universe gives us different opportunities, so I can decide whether I want a life with more emotions or more peace. Let's start with the basics. PVE is anything where you don't necessarily have to clash with other players.

Agent Missions: The ones that npc's deliver to us, you'll be able to make deliveries, fights and some other challenges, which makes it attractive for those just starting out (Obviously, knowing how to choose). These missions vary in level, serving to help you progress and evolve your ships as you level up.

Abyssal Deadspace: You'll face timed combat, but failure means you'll lose your ship and all your equipped modules. Its difficulty also evolves, so try to progress as you go, here the rewards are great, making it worth the risk.

Exploration and Combat in Cosmic Sites: When exploring you'll find anomalies with NPCs protecting rewards, use a scanner to find them, they can be quite challenging. As a tip I recommend that you make the times your ally and not an enemy, you need to organize yourself.

Mining: I think this is the most peaceful and easiest activity on the list, and I highly recommend it for new players. Equip a venture and try to get started in asteroid belts in high security space. As a tip I recommend that you avoid mining AFK, you're already big enough, you don't need it.

Ratting (Fighting NPC Pirates): Belts have pirate NPCs, here you basically have to destroy them. As a tip I recommend setting all your possible damage to maximum.

Wormhole exploration: Here we have a very lucrative activity, but fraught with BOTH risks, since we have pvp and Sleepers NPCs. As a tip, I recommend taking a probe launcher with you so you know how to get out.

Incursions: These are huge events against Sansha NPCs, where you have to have a fleet and coordination between players. As a tip, I recommend joining experienced groups.

JHenckes 1/20/2025, 10:27:47 PM

I'm going to talk about some of the PVE options available in the game:

Missions: These are tasks given by NPCs that usually further the game's story (which is very good by the way). They are divided into security missions (focused on combat), distribution (transportation) and mining (the famous farm to earn some money). The difficulty is progressive depending on the level of the mission you take on. As for tips, they're pretty obvious. Start with level 1 missions until you improve your ships and are able to do more difficult missions with better rewards.

Combat Sites: These are anomalies found using scanners. They usually involve defeating enemies in the location. The difficulty, as well as the missions, vary depending on the level of the anomaly (Highsec are easy and Lowsec/Nullsec are difficult). As a tip, I suggest you equip probes to locate these sites and keep an eye on the security site to see what challenges await you! Be careful.

Abyssal Deadspace: These are timed and instanced PVE challenges (they are divided into calm and chaotic to define the difficulty). The rewards are usually great due to the difficulty and not being available all the time. Use well-equipped ships and focus on surviving to avoid losing your ship, even the calm ones can be difficult!

Incursions: These are very high-level group PVE activities (I'm putting them here more as a curiosity of the late game, since beginner players won't have access to them). You face Sansha's Nation with great difficulty. It's important to join communities so that there's voice communication to make this adventure easier!

A few quick tips:

Start simple with agent missions or combat locations in Highsec.
Consult the equipment guides to find out the best equipment for your ships at the start of the game
Play a lot, practice will make all the difference in the late game, believe me!

Mining:
As with all activities, it is one of the foundations of the game. Without minerals, there’s no industry; without industry, no ships; and without ships, no PvP.

Mining can be divided into four main branches:

Ore Mining
Ice Mining
Gas Mining
Moon Mining

Ore Mining:
This is the most basic mining activity in the game and can be started right away. All you need is a Venture equipped with basic mining gear, find an asteroid belt or a mining anomaly, and start extracting minerals from asteroids. This activity is available in nearly all systems in New Eden. Note that one specific mineral, Mercoxit, requires a specialized skill to mine.

Ice Mining:
This type of mining involves finding specific anomalies containing ice. To mine ice, you must be an Omega player and have specialized skills. Ice processing produces materials that power capital ships, cynos, fuel production, and more.

Gas Mining:
To obtain gas, you must locate it in the vast systems of the galaxy using an exploration ship. Once located, you’ll need to train a specific skill to extract it. Gas is primarily used in the production of boosters, reactions, and the construction of advanced-grade ships.

Moon Mining:
This is similar to ore mining but deserves its own category because it requires an Athanor or Tatara to extract a piece of a moon and shatter it for mining. While this activity doesn’t require high skills, having specialized ships is highly recommended for greater efficiency. The collected minerals have a limited lifespan—if not harvested in time, they will disappear.

Luka Zaharin 1/19/2025, 10:19:57 AM

PvP in Eve Online has many faces. Most capsuleers use the term player vs environment to describe aggressive actions against NPCs to make a difference between armed interactions with other players (PvP) and non-players (PvE). Usually, actions like mining are not included, although they have an impact on the environment (empty asteroid belts...).

As this is meant to be a beginner's introduction, I would like to focus on how to run highsec anomalies. These sites can be found in the probe scanner (Alt + P) and offer rewards in exchange of destroying small NPCs. They have different levels of difficulty. While the [faction] Hideaway and [faction] Burrow only spawn frigates, other anomalies have stronger NPCs. Several sites can escalate into stronger sites that spawn a few jumps away from the player's current location and every now and then you get a "named" rat as a very last wave (Dread Guristas, True Sansha, Dark Blood, Domination, Shadow Serpentis). This NPC should always be looted, as it can contain very high value items.

Always be ready to warp off in case you take too much damage. Hideaways, Burrows and even Refuges can be done in a racial frigate with at least one 400mm Armor Plate or Medium Shield Extender, but better fits allow you to run more dangerous sites and avoid repairing on a station after every fight.

[faction] Hidden/Forlorn/Forsaken Hideaways as well as [faction] Dens should be flown carefully and in a cruiser. The forsaken sites have a high chance of drone aggro and the forlorn ones spawn up to 5 cruisers and cause a lot of damage. Dens are the most dangerous anomalies in highsec and can take down unsuspecting frigates relatively fast.

For young Caldari, this Merlin would be a good start to run Hideaway/Burrow/Refuge sites in highsec. You just lock your targets, approach them with your Afterburner on, activate your Statis Webifier and shoot. The Shield Hardener should always be turned on as the ship runs cap-stable. Most of the time, you use antimatter, but the uranium gives a little more range if you need it. As soon as you know your way around and gain skillpoints, you can upgrade and change this ship depending on your taste.

In the end, the best way to enjoy Eve is flying with friends, so talk to people and learn. Ask for fits, ask for tips and ask for help if the NPCs are too strong to kill for you on your own!

1. Scanning in Null Sec

The best and most budget option for PVE activity in the game for a solo player, in my opinion, is Scanning in Null Sec. All you need for this is to save up about 1 million ISK for a scanning frigate and consumables, upgrade several skills and go to Null Sec via threads. Your goal is Data/Relic sites. They appear quite often and in just one evening you can save up for a good update of your personal fleet.

2. Wormholes

The second stage of development in the EVE Online universe can be considered farming in C3 wormholes, allowing you to get 40 million ISK for 1 anomaly. After an evening of scanning, you will have enough money to buy a ship called "Gnosis", as well as modules for it, which will allow you to earn "clean" ISK without much effort. The main thing is to collect loot from all NPCs, because it is the one that has value and is always bought at the same price

3. Trade

Having accumulated capital, you may get tired of destroying the same NPCs or flying around the same systems of vast space in search of Data/Relic sites. You can engage in trade - learn the deep world of traders through a living economy that is completely dependent on players. Study the prices of popular goods in different systems, negotiate with logisticians about deliveries and spin the market of valuable ships and modules as you want, earning all the money in the universe

4. Cargo transportation

Do you want to enjoy the beautiful views of safe space? Do you want to deliver the necessary goods to remote corners of the empire, helping other capsuleers, supplying them with all the necessary things? Cargo transportation is for you! A small cargo barge, available after learning one skill, will allow you to transport everything from minerals and ore to ready-made ships and stations ready to break into the battle for the right to own the system. Find cargo contracts and help your comrades for a generous reward

5. Production

Don't want to break the economy or travel, and your mind is occupied with thoughts of creation? Then your calling is production. Buy materials and blueprints, create everything! From cartridges and rockets to stations and titans - the largest ships in the game! Everything will be produced by your own hands. Agree with friends or clanmates to supply you with materials at a reduced price in exchange for a discount on the equipment you produce, and you will be completely sucked into the world of production!

Hello! New player here (less than 60 hours as of writing). Here's what I can encountered as someone who has often dabbled into PvE content, so I can rank them from easiest to hardest of what I encountered. Some PvE options might missing here, like Homefront Ops or Abyssals, which meant that I haven't encountered them yet.

1) High Sec Mining

Most likely, a new player's first encounter to PvE outside career agents are during mining. Even in high sec asteroid belts, common NPC frigates sometimes appear to disturb a new Venture from mining. It was a bit panicky at first, but the most important thing here is to teach new players how to use drones. I had to learn them from the Rookie Help channel (incredibly helpful community btw) but a simple drone tutorial would be helpful in solving most PvE content involving non-combatant ships.

2) Career Agents

Personally, career agents are the best way to practice PvE content. It felt a bit tedious at times, but overall I managed to finish it especially because the rewards are so generous.

3) Scanning and cosmic signatures

When a new player gets more into the game and discovers scanning, PvE content leading to cosmic signatures is great. Data/Relic sites are taught in career agents and I think the devs have done a pretty good job at the tutorial for this, but I still found myself scratching heads and looking for help when it comes to scanning, especially on dscanning and probe scanning.

Missions
Provides consistent content with ISK rewards and LP, which can be flipped for ISK. level 1-3 missions are useful for generating faction or corporation standings, but otherwise have very little ISK-making potential relative to time involved. Level 4 missions offer decent levels of ISK and lots of LP, but require a battleships or marauder to run effectively. Level 5 missions are offered in low and null security space, and require blingy marauders or capital ships to run.
Epic Arcs
The faction-specific Level 4 epic arcs pay well and grant large standings boosts. The Caldari and Minmatar epic arcs are relatively simple and can be done in a regular battleship. The Amarr and Gallente Epic arcs are much more difficult and require a marauder or blingy battleship, long range weapons, careful trigger control, and preplanning. The Sisters of EVE epic arc is a level 1 epic arc that boosts standings with any of the four empire factions. It is designed for newbros and is easily completed in a destroyer or cruiser.
Escalation farming
Running combat anomalies for escalations that are then run for the valuable modules that can drop. Ranges from very easy and accessible to highly advanced. 3/10 escalations are easily farmed in Highsec from the Serpentis or Sanshas factions and drop small-sized A-Type deadspace modules. Each escalation site can be worth anywhere from 2 million to 300 million ISK, but averages at around 70-80 million in bling per site. (Full data for the Serpentis 3/10 available on the Uniwiki). 4/10 and 5/10 escalations can also be farmed in highsec, but much less reliably as the escalations spawn in Lowsec more often. Levels 1/10 all the way to 10/10 can be farmed in NPC nullsec or pirate-infested nullsec. At the very difficult end of the escalation spectrum are capital escalations and 10/10 DED sites. Capital escalations require capital ships to complete. 10/10 sites are VERY difficult DED complexes that often require blingy marauders or dedicated fleets to run. Sites are also very lucrative as they can drop large X-type deadspace modules.
Belt Ratting
Warping into asteroid belts in Lowsec or Nullsec to kill rats, find officers, or farm faction spawns. 0.5 security belts in highsec can spawn frigate-sized officers, lowsec belts can spawn cruiser-sized officers or Mordus spawns, and nullsec belts can spawn NPC capital ships and battleship-sized officers. Majority of ISK made is through bounties and loot, as faction spawns are an unreliable source of income and capital ships or officers are instantaneous death to most belt ratters.
Anomaly Ratting
Running high-difficulty combat anomalies for ISK. Often called Ishtar-spinning, as Ishtars are commonly used to bot combat anomalies, anomaly ratting makes ISK through bounty payouts from the rats killed. It is stable incomes, although usually boring and monotonous
Abyssal Deadspace
Running timed 20-minute abyssal deadspace sites that drop mutaplasmids, components for building Triglavian ships and equipment, and red loot. The sites destroy ship and pod after 20 minutes and are accessible from highsec. Tier 0-2 sites are considered easy with low payouts, Tier 3-4 sites are considered moderate with decent payouts, and Tier 5-6 are considered difficult, require expensive ships, modules, and pods to fly, but also are very lucrative.
Wormhole Anomaly Ratting
Running combat anomalies in wormhole space for blue loot and Sleeper salvage. More difficult and lucrative than Nullsec anomaly ratting, wormhole anomaly ratting can be quite lucrative even at lower levels. Up to C3 wormhole anomalies are run in cruisers to battleships, while sites in C4-C6 wormholes are run in blingy marauders, fleets, or dreadnoughts.
Incursions
Very high-level PVE content that requires fleets of high-skilled pilots with blingy marauders and expensive pods. Depending on fleet composition and site level, Highsec incursions can pay between 150-300 million ISK/hr. Lowsec incursions are more profitable but also more dangerous. Nullsec incursions are flown in supercarriers, marauders, or bombers.
Exploration
Scanning down combat, gas, relic, or data sites to be completed for ISK. Usually people refer to relic sites and the loot available through hacking. Data sites also drop loot but are typically less profitable. DED complexes can also be found through scanning in contrast to being acquired through escalation. Gas sites are also scannable sites that are then completed by mining ships that harvest the gas clouds.
Mining
Belt mining is mining the minerals found in asteroid belts. Moon mining is mining the minerals extracted by moon drills. Ice mining is mining ice in ice belt anomalies. All three activitites are readily available in all sectors of space, though the ores and minerals available vary.
Industry
PI, invention, manufacturing, etc. Taking raw materials and producing finished products to be sold for profit or used privately. Often combined with mining to locally source raw materials such as moon minerals, asteroid minerals, and planetary materials.
Pochven
Running anomalies for payouts and loot. Often done in heavy assault cruisers or marauders.

Very comprehensive entry, thanks Sumfin7!

Y0EMINENCE 1/10/2025, 8:58:21 PM

Missions have been my chill activity. I started with those easy Level 1s where I felt like a space cowboy in my frigate. Moving up to Level 4s, I had to bring out the big guns, fitting my battleships or battlecruisers just right. My first Level 5 in low-sec was like starring in my own space opera, needing tons of prep and teamwork.

Combat Anomalies are my daily routine. In high-sec, they're a piece of cake, but in null-sec, they've got you on your toes. I've learned the hard way that enemies there don't mess around.

Incursions showed me what teamwork really means. Joining a fleet to fight back the Sansha invasion, you feel part of something epic. It's intense, you need good coordination, but the rewards have funded some of my wildest ship dreams.

Ratting has been my go-to for quick ISK. Hunting NPCs in belts or anomalies gives you a good bounty, especially if you venture into low or null-sec. It's not without risk, but that's part of the fun.

FirestormGamingTeam 1/9/2025, 12:23:00 PM

Here we go!

High Sec Anoms

These are everywhere, they are very easy and even new players can run these. They have names such as Hideaway, Den, Burrow, and Refugee, each faction space has these, and they can be run with T1 fit destroyers. Each site has the potential to drop faction loot or spawn Escalations which are DED Concord sites that have the potential to give expensive Deadspace loot.

High Sec Exploration

These sites must be scanned down using a ship designed to do so. These are Data/Relic sites and require a module called a Data/Relic analyzer to run these sites, the loot can go from useless carbon to expensive modules/blueprints.

Missions

These range from Levels 1-4, and each mission tier requires a bigger ship. Level 1 missions can be run by T1 fitted Destroyers, level 2's require a cruiser minimum, level 3 requires either a full T2 fit cruiser and or battlecruiser, level 4 requires T3 cruisers or battleships. Each mission gives what is called loyalty points, these LP as they are called can be used in the faction store to buy expensive modules/ships/blueprints etc which can then be sold on the market, plus the missions themselves give "bounties" which at a higher tier can be 900k-1.1mil per NPC kill.

Abyssal Space

Certain tiers of Abyssal space may be accessed from high sec space, these pockets of what is essentially abyssal deadspace are three rooms, in which you kill the NPCs in each room and then the loot cache, which drops items you can then sell on, the higher tier i.e Tranquil being level 1 onto calm and then agitated, the higher loot pool and the more money you will make per run. You can buy these Filaments on the market.

Incursions

These are high-tier fleet activities which move around high sec space chasing the "incursions" These are sites where fleets run for Concord LP which can then be converted into large amounts of ISK, the ship types required will vary on which group you are running with, there are public fleets you can join for these, but I am not sure of the names.

Mining

In each system, there are "Asteroid Belts" which contain basic ores in high sec such as Veldspar which gives tritanium, as you move down the system list i.e from 1.0 sec to 0.5 sec, the ore being spawned in these belts becomes more expensive. You will also find frigate based npcs in lower end systems, so defence is key.

Cosmos Missions

There are what is called "cosmos" chains, this being said, a lot of them have been removed or are just plain broken, again this being said, a lot of the chains are still intact, where you go from each agent to agent, along the way finding modules you can sell, blueprint rewards which are worth a decent amount of ISK. But as I said, be warned, some cosmos chains are just plain broken.

Epic Arcs

Epic Arcs are mission chains ranging from 45+ Missions to 50+ missions where you can go from agent to agent and get greater and greater rewards in ISK etc as you go on, they often end in a massive standings boost and or high-end implants which can be sold for a large amount of ISK, these arcs I THINK reset every 30 days. So can be run at least once a month.

So there you go, a full list of PVE activities available to you in high-sec space - As you move down to 0.4 - 0.0 space, the same activities are available with much higher rewards.

PvEvP

You and your friends against NPCs and maybe players.
Each of the below Security regions offers you easy solo to complex group tasks.

The general rule of thumb here is the deeper you drop the more challenging it gets.

Highsec
Lowsec
Nullsec
Pochven
Wormhole

Under “The Agency”
Encounters summarize all the activities which are kind of an event with some special rules.
Exploration covers Combat Anomalies and their Escalations as well Pochven Content.
Please note which some activities are bound to their above location.

You can read that yourself.

So we focus on the stuff which is not covered for Nullsec:

Combat Anomalies can have a capital escalation.
-> A mighty NPC Capital will maybe spawn in the last wave!

This also can happen for Belts Rats but here you will see Hauler Spawns and maybe an Overlord Officer (the ones which may drop the purple mods)

Also there is currently no content in EVE which is not mastered or cheesed which i know.
Maybe some Lore Sleeper Stuff

In Eve Online, PvE options provide players with numerous experiences for those who prefer challenges against the game rather than other players. Among the various modes available are missions, incursions, exploration, ratting, mining, other explorable locations, faction challenges, and wormholes.

Players can explore numerous places, such as searching for wreck sites or ruins where they can obtain fantastic rewards. They may come across wormholes, cosmological anomalies, or full-fledged war missions. There are also enemy hunts in various space systems, ranging from simple enemies to real bosses. Other modes require players to align with a faction and fight enemies from other factions, with the opportunity to earn rewards and gain reputation.

Online PvE Guide for Novices
With a range of PvE (Player vs Environment) choices available from EVE Online, users may enjoy the gaming experience without having to engage in head-to--head combat with other players. Players who choose to concentrate on exploration, trade, or just profit-making from the EVE universe will find this to be a fantastic choice. Here are some common PvE choices in EVE Online, how to perform them, and success pointers for every one of them:
1. Approaches

Among the most fundamental PvE pursuits available in EVE Online are missions. Agents housed in stations or citadels inside the game universe may assign tasks to players. Usually, these missions consist of activities like delivering products, attacking foes, or defending someone.
Once assigned a task, participants will have specific goals to aim for. They may get directions for clearing area, fighting groups of foes, or doing other kinds of activity.
Difficulties: Missions range from simple to rather demanding. Beginners will find level 1 through 3 missions ideal. Higher level missions will call for more complicated strategies and tougher adversaries.
Advice: Choose a ship fit for the kind of operation you are doing. While certain missions might be simpler with support ships or exploration ships, some are better suited for combat ships. Don't overlook looking for mission constraints or prerequisites like reputation or certain talents.

2. Investigatory Activity
Players of EVE Online have the chance to explore space in order to locate secret spots or areas with great benefits. This exercise mostly depends on ability in using instruments like scan probes to locate concealed objects in space.
You will locate cosmic signs using scanners, which once found may take you to data sites, relic sites, or conflict locations. Every kind of location has various opportunities and difficulties.
Exploration might begin simple but the degree of complexity and possible danger increases with depth of space. Some places can call for more modern or quicker ships.
Focus talents on Astrometrics to boost search speed and scanning capacity. Always have a ship that can rapidly flee in case of danger or defend against adversaries.

3. Fight Locations
In PvE combat, battle sites are areas where users may engage groups of synthetic foes. Though sometimes more regimented and provide their own incentives, these missions are comparable to ones involving death.
You may locate fighting areas in certain systems by use of scanners or by direct searches. Once reaching the site, you will have to defeat waves of adversaries to collect riches.
Challenge: Low to very high degrees of enemies in battle areas vary. While certain locations need more potent combat ships or more planning, others may be finished with less expensive and simpler ships.
Try to match your ship to the kind of opponent you will be encountering. Certain places might call for certain strategies, including deploying long-range weaponry or electronic capabilities to disturb the opponent.

4. Exploration
Though usually seen as more of an economic activity, mining also comes under the PvE category as you damage the ecosystem in order to get resources.
Using mining spacecraft, gather materials suitable for sale or use in manufacturing from asteroids. Rare materials or activated more lucrative mining anomalies may sometimes be found.
While mining itself is somewhat easy, sometimes you may run into adversaries like pirates or NPC foes that want to steal you of your wealth.
Advice: Make sure the mining goods are moved to a secure location to prevent theft by other players and choose a ship with decent defensive capability.

5. Relic Sites and Anomalies
Relic sites are locations to locate precious objects that may be utilized or sold; anomalies are unexpected occurrences or actions observed in space that often provide rewards in the shape of rare resources or formidable foes.
How to Do It: Using a scanner, locate anomalies or relic locations; thereafter, confront difficulties like fights or puzzles requiring hacking ability.
Problem: Relic locations vary considerably. While some might be somewhat simple, others need for hacking knowledge and certain tools to get the benefits within.
Advice: concentrate your talents on hacking and archaeology to reach the benefits from relic locations. If required, be sure you also have a spacecraft fit for managing conflict.

6. Adventures
Large fights called incursions call for coordination in the shape of a fleet to overcome waves of rather strong adversaries.
Join a team of other players to engage in Sansha's Nation, a large enemy assault. You will cooperate to safeguard certain areas and destroy the opposing fleet.
Difficultty: More suited for experienced players, incursions are really challenging. To survive, your team must have strong cooperation and extremely efficient ships.
Advice: Organize your efforts by joining a seasoned group or using Fleets' tools. Get your ships ready and ensure you have sufficient defense to endure a protracted fight.

7. Looting and Agriculture
Players of farming search foes or NPC for treasure and other benefits include modules, ISK (game money), or uncommon stuff.
Targeting foes located at different locations or via certain quests helps players to gather goods either for use or sale.
While farming is simple, the difficulty level might vary depending on the time and tools required to get desired outcomes.
Advice: Pay attention to foes with decent drop rates and be careful not to let other players pilfers of your stuff. Use ships with proper armaments and high survivability.

End From basic tasks to big fights involving many people, PvE in EVE Online offers a range of choices to investigate. Starting with simple tasks and exploration is advised for novices; as experience is acquired, increase skills. Experiment with many ship kinds and modules not hesitate to discover the mix that best fits your playstyle.
Understanding these many choices will help players to fully enjoy the PvE experience in EVE Online and get an edge while exploring the huge environment.

“Start with Level 1 agents, and upgrade your ship as you progress. Pro tip: use a Caracal or Vexor for Level 2 and 3 combat missions, and check out EVE Survival Mission Reports to prepare for each mission’s challenges.”

[Scene 2: Abyssal Deadspace]

Visual: A player activating a filament and warping into a stormy Abyssal zone.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Looking for high-risk, high-reward content? Abyssal Deadspace is a timed instance filled with enemies and loot. Perfect for small, nimble ships like Tech I frigates or cruisers, Abyssal sites range from Tier 0, for beginners, to Tier 6, for elite pilots.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Moderate to Hard.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Stick to Tier 0-1 filaments to learn the ropes. Optimize your ship for speed and damage, and remember—time management is critical. Run out of time, and your ship will be lost forever!”

[Scene 3: Combat Sites (Exploration PvE)]

Visual: A player scanning down an anomaly, then engaging pirate NPCs in a cosmic site.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Exploration PvE combines combat and treasure hunting. Use the Probe Scanner to find anomalies, and take on waves of NPCs guarding valuable loot.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Easy to Hard.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Start with ships like the Algos or Corax for high-sec sites. Bookmark loot structures to avoid losing them during fights, and watch for escalations—they lead to even better rewards but may require stronger ships.”

[Scene 4: Mining Operations]

Visual: A player in a Venture mining frigate harvesting ore in an asteroid belt.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Mining is one of the easiest ways to start earning ISK in EVE Online. Equip a Venture with mining lasers, visit high-sec asteroid belts, and start gathering resources.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Easy.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Pro tip: Avoid AFK mining. Gankers love an unaware target. Stick to high-sec until you’re comfortable, and use tools like EVE Market to find the most profitable ores.”

[Scene 5: Ratting]

Visual: A player clearing an asteroid belt of NPC pirates.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Ratting is the act of destroying NPC pirates for bounties. You can do this in asteroid belts, anomalies, or even null-sec space.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Moderate.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Start with a combat-focused ship like the Drake or Vexor Navy Issue. Always use your Directional Scanner to spot potential PvP threats, and fit your ship for the damage type of local NPCs.”

[Scene 6: Wormhole PvE]

Visual: A player scanning a wormhole and entering a dark, mysterious system.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Wormholes offer some of the most lucrative PvE content in EVE, but they’re not for the faint of heart. Sleepers, the NPCs guarding these sites, are much tougher than standard pirates.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Hard.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Always bring a probe launcher and bookmark your exit. Wormhole space is PvP-heavy, so stay alert and be prepared for ambushes.”

[Scene 7: Incursions]

Visual: A large fleet engaging Sansha NPCs in an Incursion system.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Incursions are large-scale, coordinated PvE events where fleets work together to repel Sansha invasions. They offer high rewards but demand teamwork and preparation.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Hard.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Join a group like Warp To Me Incursions to get started. Fleet roles include logistics, snipers, and damage dealers, so know your role and stay on comms for a smooth run.”

[Scene 8: Planetary Interaction (PI)]

Visual: A player setting up colonies on a planet in the PI interface.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Want passive income? Planetary Interaction lets you build colonies on planets to harvest resources. It’s easy to set up but requires careful planning.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Easy.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Focus on high-demand products like robotics or fuel blocks. Stick to high-sec systems for safer setups, and optimize your transport routes to save time.”

[Scene 9: Faction Warfare Missions]

Visual: A player completing an FW objective in contested space.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“If you enjoy PvP alongside PvE, Faction Warfare missions are a great way to earn ISK and loyalty points while engaging in territorial combat.”

On-Screen Text: Difficulty: Moderate to Hard.

Narrator (Voiceover):

“Speed-tanking ships work best here. Always stay aligned to a warp-out point and keep an eye on local chat for enemy players.”

[Closing Scene]

In EVE Online, PvE options include a variety of activities that allow players to interact with the environment and non-player characters, earning rewards and improving their skills. One of the main PvE activities is agent missions, where players work for NPC corporations that assign tasks such as fighting pirates, transporting goods, or mining resources. These missions vary in difficulty, making them suitable for both beginners and veterans.

Another popular activity is ratting, which involves fighting NPC pirates found in asteroid belts or combat sites. This is one of the primary sources of income, especially in areas like nullsec, where pirates offer higher rewards.

Exploration is an exciting option that combines discovery and risk. Players use probes to scan and locate hidden sites, which can include wrecks, valuable data, or complex NPC structures to tackle. For those who prefer a more industrial approach, mining is a crucial activity: harvesting resources from asteroid belts or moon sites contributes significantly to the game’s economy.

NPC incursions, such as Triglavian invasions or Sansha fleets, represent a more challenging PvE option. These activities require player cooperation to defeat powerful enemies but offer substantial rewards.

For the boldest players, wormholes provide unique opportunities. These systems, accessible through unstable portals, are filled with dangers but also riches, such as rare gases and highly lucrative Sleeper NPCs. Finally, players can participate in faction campaigns, supporting one of the four main empires and battling enemy NPCs to conquer star systems, earning points and special rewards.

Each PvE activity in EVE Online is designed to enrich the gaming experience, offering opportunities for growth and profit in a universe that rewards strategy and ingenuity.

EVE Online offers a wide variety of PvE (Player vs Environment) activities, catering to different playstyles and levels of experience. Whether you’re into combat, exploration, or industry, there’s something for everyone in the vast universe of New Eden. Here are some of the main PvE options:

1. Mission Running

This is one of the classic PvE activities in EVE. You pick up missions from NPC agents, ranging from simple courier tasks to combat-heavy encounters. As you increase your standings with corporations, you gain access to higher-level agents and more lucrative missions. It’s straightforward, but progressing to Level 4 or Level 5 missions can be quite rewarding, especially if you enjoy a mix of challenge and ISK-making.

2. Ratting

Killing NPC pirates (“rats”) in asteroid belts or anomalies is a staple PvE activity, especially in null-sec and wormhole space. Ratting can be a great source of ISK, particularly when you’re farming battleship spawns or working on escalations from combat anomalies. Null-sec alliances often provide protected systems for members to rat safely.

3. Exploration

Exploration is one of the most exciting and unpredictable PvE activities. Using scan probes, you can find relic sites, data sites, wormholes, and more. Relic sites in null-sec and wormhole space can yield significant ISK through valuable loot, and the thrill of navigating dangerous territory adds an element of risk and reward.

4. Abyssal Deadspace

For those looking for a PvE challenge, Abyssal Deadspace is a standout feature. You enter isolated pockets of space using Abyssal Filaments, facing timed challenges against waves of NPCs. The rewards can be incredible, but the risk is high—if you fail or take too long, you lose your ship and pod. It’s a high-stakes, high-reward PvE option.

5. Incursions

Incursions are large-scale PvE events where NPC forces from the Sansha Nation invade a constellation. These are designed for groups of players, often requiring fleets of 10-40 people to defeat the powerful NPCs and destroy their sites. Incursions are incredibly lucrative for those who join organized groups, offering some of the best ISK-per-hour in the game.

6. Mining and Industry

If combat isn’t your thing, mining and industry are essential PvE activities. You can mine asteroids, harvest gas, or even set up planetary interaction colonies to extract resources. From there, you can refine materials and manufacture ships, modules, or even player-owned structures. It’s a slower-paced, strategic PvE option with deep economic ties to New Eden’s market.

7. Wormhole PvE

Wormholes add an extra layer of mystery and danger to PvE. Sleeper NPCs, found in wormhole systems, are significantly tougher than standard pirates but offer excellent loot in the form of blue loot and salvage. The lack of local chat in wormholes also makes PvE here a nerve-wracking yet rewarding experience.

8. Event-Based PvE

CCP regularly introduces limited-time PvE events with unique challenges and rewards. These can range from holiday-themed activities to lore-based encounters, giving players a break from routine activities.

PvE in EVE Online isn’t just about earning ISK; it’s often a stepping stone for new players to learn the mechanics of the game, test their fits, and build the wealth needed for PvP. It also ties deeply into the game’s economy, as many PvE activities generate resources that fuel the player-driven markets.

Whether you’re seeking thrilling combat, economic domination, or the quiet satisfaction of discovery, EVE Online’s PvE options offer endless opportunities to carve out your own story in New Eden
