I have been playing this for quite a while now...who else is playing this, or would like to?
If we have the numbers, we could start up our own UK Corp. I have a lot of contacts with other big Corps to get us invites to raids etc, but for the most part we could be sorta self supporting. In any event we can get involved in some of the Alliance raids.
If your interested shove yer name down, and state if you prefer PvE, PvP, trade, escort, mining, research etc... Even we have six or so regulars, at least we could get some regular groups going.
I know some will say you need to be part of a large corp to get anywhere, but I can get us invloved with regular PvP battles in 0.0. with larger Corps, and I'm sure I can maintain a link with my old Corp.
Shove yer name down and I will form a Clan UK Corp if there is real interest. Even if there isn't the interest for our own Corp, we could do some stuff together.

I liked my Gallente, good with drones and higher stats in some areas which meant quicker training at the start. I think in the long term it doesn't matter as everyone can learn everything. Was a good trader/miner and held his own in fights with drones and the right weapon layout. Tosh with missiles though, if you want missiles best to start with a race that's more combaty.

quick rundown of the races....
caldari. capitalist society. missile whores, with ecm backup and railguns.
gallente. democratic. use blasters (anti-ship shotguns) and drones.
amarr. religious freaks and slavers. use lasers and general brute force.
minmater. ex-slaves, tribal, relatively primitive. use a combination of speed and projectile weaponry (howitzers, autocannons), with missile backup.

If we have enough people interested, how about we start things off with a social mining op one evening and start collating some basic resources?
Even if we only have a couple of miners, and a couple of frigs running escort/keeping the rats of the miners it would be a start.
If your interested post if you would prefer to mine or escort, and see if you can skill up accordingly.
If we do start our own Corp, we can arrange for an office and warehouse at an agreed location to store the resources and rat loot. In any event we can chat during the op.

Bah, sorely tempted to dust off my old account. It's fairly crap (pre-battleship), but I do miss some things from Eve.

Aye, that's what put me off Eve in the end. It's more fun if you get into a good guild, and can chew the fat, or make escorted convoy runs into 0.0 space, but it's still shooting rocks.
There are other ways of making money, but until you get big bucks for trading, mining's still the best way of getting cash and resources for new gear.

I found the best way to get cash was combat missions, once I'd got a bigger ship mining became more profitable as I could store more in the hold as I mined (and as my mining skill improved I did it faster).
Tip 1:
Goto and asteroid field, fly 15km past it, set a waypoint there
Warp back to the station, go 15km past it, set a waypoint there
Now between those two points you jump straight into the asteroid field, mine, jump to station and dock immediately. It also means you can sometimes jump in, mine and get out before the pirates turn up if you don't fancy fighting.
Tip 2:
Find the right place to sell, I found in the end the unrefined ore was for some reason netting me more money than the refined result and the difference was quite large.
Hearing people talk about it does make me have pangs for it, but I found combat just so amazingly dull and mining was just a way to relaxingly pass the time. I think if the controls were not all point/click I'd feel more involved with it. If enough people appeared to make a Clan UK company I might pop back for a bit to say hi and have some fun, but I'll watch and see how things turn out if you do get something started or regular trips organised.
Course I'd probably need to spend the first day back moving all my bits and ships to where we would be based (travel while realistic is dull when going a distance, which I guess makes it all the more realistic)
