This is exactly the problem i had, basicly i meandered from mission to mission between skill lvls and bought/upgraded ships a whole lot .. occasionally went mining.
I like the game but it's no Earth & Beyond, got kinda old for me real quick. I do hear the pvp is pretty tight, and heard this one dude talking about a battle that involved something like 200 ships which would've been real keen to be part of or see but i missed it.
Thats what I felt when I played Claxton. Its a bit TOO open for me. You really have to set your own goals and head for them because you can do ANYTHING. I think I was too set in the MMORPG mindset of make money, train skills, level up, work towards level cap and endgame.
In EVE there is no cap or endgame. If you want to be a pirate you go out and pirate, if you want to trade you make money, get better trading ships and equipment and build up monopolies and enterprises. You can be a mercenary, soldier, scientist, whatever you want, by training up whatever skills you want to use.
I got a frigate and did some courier missions and got bored because I wasnt sure what I wanted to do and I saw myself running courier for ages or mining.

Yeah you will probably get nothing out of the game then. For it to even get good you need to play for awhile. Get better ships. Go into unsafe space. Fight with pirates and other people. You just can't do all of that in 14 days.

On the upside a heavy dosage of recreational drugs, some good music, and a cargo hold full of random crap yer hauling was an enjoyable experience for a minute.

I couldn't make it past 2 weeks. A guy at my work has been playing it with his friend for years though and they said you really need to just kind of push past that 1 month mark really until you can get into a good Corporation and start helping them out with stuff.
I've heard the PvP is awesome too. The corporation my friend is in doesn't trust him and accused him of stealing money so he literally can't fly anywhere because he's stationed in their territory and if he goes out they'll kill him. And if he leaves their territory then the opposing corporations will kill him. So his friend has this whole big scheme to screw over that corporation and take control of the whole thing himself. Its pretty cool how you get into these story lines I guess you could say, with other players and their corporations and are really free to to whatever you want.
Basically, from what both of them have told me until you get past the beginning and get into a good corporation the game is boring.
