I am flying expensive with an alt for scouting, tactics and to avoid stupid losses. Some crybabies would call this "faggotry" but I don't care because you're always facing a bigger blob with logistics and boosters these days.

Loot by PvP is a nice bonus to lower your costs a bit and when I lose a ship and my wallet is broken I simply buy GTC and sell two PLEX on the Jita market. I am not doing any intense carebearing in EVE because for me personally it's waste of my PvP- and limited RL-time. IRL I work under half an hour for one GTC.

OFC the game can become expensive if I die a lot - but I don't :-) - and from that perspective time is money. Otherwise the game would put too much pressure on me and things will become too serious ingame if I had to work for the ISK ingame to fly what I want to fly and not what I can afford to fly.

Industry alt. Sometimes exploration id im living in null, sometimes missions if im in high/low sec. Mostly my indy alt though. Sometimes i just fly really cheap ships if i dont feel like producing isk.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Usually I buy PLEX when I'm out of money and few days ago I won approx 400 mils on blink.

I tried missions and nearly died from boredom, on rare occasions I manage to catch a pod I don't offer ransoms, I often forget to loot wrecks and I am just too thick to go into anything involving trade/PI/indy so PLEX or gambling are my two options :)

Oh yeah and I cashed in my RPs the other day, that was an easy bill.

They're stacking up again, only half as fast as they used to but w/e because it's free stuff.

Scams, mostly. Or the very occational really good drop.

Losing my **** as slowly as possible helps.

Oh, and raising and selling characters. Turn those scout alts into combat characters, spend a couple monthes on them, and throw them up on the forums.

1) Try not to lose ships.

2) A 6-toon PI network situated in wormhole space.

3) Kill and loot expensively fit ships in wormholes.

4) Try not to lose ships.

Shame on you :). Do not listen to the "try not to lose ships" people. That will lead to being a pvp carebear which is even worae then normal carebears. Lose ships often. Just make sure they are easily replaceable. Dont fly faction pimed **** everyday. T1 is ok to fly sometimes. Some of my most fun fights recently have been in frigs. I died but it was fun. Which afterall is the whole point of the game. If yiur corp hates on you for flying cheap **** and demands u be LEET pvper, blow one of them up on the next op then find a new corp.

I suckle at my own private technetium nipple just like the rest of the CFC. Apparently.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Glad you asked
I finished missions
10 faction in both my freindly races
Many Corps and agents at 10 standings
Took me years
Was stupid to think that Missions would ever be improved upon
Was stupid to think that gaining maximum standings would benifit me in the future.

Sick to the back teeth of killing Zor,
I buy and flog plex to finance my game

I feel dirty, but rather that than leave

Two characters running PI seem to be enough to keep my wallet fairly stable these days, but plex when that fails.

I finance my pvp activities by making my self kill in alliance/corp fleets and gangs.
My corp/alliance tells me: go there and shoot, I go there and shoot, I get killed well, whatever. I just pick another ship and restart.

Ho and never not jump Lol

It's nice to see all the PvP'ers saying they scam their isk for ships. Now I am going to feel double good when I blow them up by the dozens.

I have two indy alts. I also do quite a bit of PI. As much passive things as I can. I occasionally do annoms in 0.0 where I live, but I have bad luck with drops. If I am really bored and there's no people to shoot at I rat sometimes. But most of my isk it coming from building stuff and selling it to traders to sell on the market. I could probably make a whole lot more isk if I was willing to play the .01isk game, but I am not.
