I am looking for an online game that does mining,fighting pirates,lots of quests and lots of ship upgrades;however, does NOT entail a lot of PVP. If there is a big plot, too, that would be a plus. Any suggestions other than Earth and Beyond.
Although part of EvE is about pvp and territory control, you can operate in the very large 'safe' area, and the only time you really need to worry about pvp is if someone decides to declare war on your corp (guild), which shouldn't be too hard to avoid. Certain high traffic zones have the tradition of being slightly dangerous (ie the Jita system), but you can avoid those too heh.
Once you've got some skills under your belt, you might even be able to find a corp out in the wild territories (aka the 0.0 security area.. very very very large, surrounds the 'safe' area) that can be relatively safe to operate out of, depending on where and what alliance and all that jazz.
Could try the JTL side of SWG despite what people will say about the ground game JTL has kept me activeley subbed for 5 years longer than I should have been and still does to this day.
Has mining
Has a ton of mobs
PVP is at your choosing
Has space Piracy your the pirate rather than fighting v pirates
With 9 squadrons has great replayability for story
Has a unparralelled Reverse Engineering system each part has stats and you combine those stats by whats known as RE'n the item so whilst 1 engine might have great speed another might have good roll and another great pitch (it can take months to collect those parts needed but theres fun to be had trying)
Has fighter, bomber, and gunboat class ships
Active space community on Starside if US or Chimaera if EU with regular planned PVP nights.
Theres the free trial you can check out can head into space from the moment your created so always worth a look.
