Running around low/null on your own? Unlikely to get rich. Prob the opposite.

Ways to make ISK pvping in a corp:

- Mercenary. Challenging but reasonable income if you can get it.

- Pirate. Gank people in low /null and share the spoils. Organised groups might do payouts.

- Hi sec freighter ganking. Supposedly good but I've personally not done this.

- War decking for ransom or ganking High value ships for shiney loot. Tricky.

Exactly.

OP there is tons of corps out there in need of in house muscle. Nothing wrong with being a thug who takes care of the dirty work. Don't give up yet!

Ignoring all PVE activities still leaves you with LOTS of options.

In no particular order...

1. Industry related activities: You can make a lot of money if you do it outside of hi-sec. The big alliances need it quite a bit.

2. Suicide-Ganking (or other hi-sec ganking): Blow up carebears and hi-sec and make a profit.

3. Piracy: Get into low-sec PVP brawls, win, and collect the spoils of war.

4. Salvaging: Find someone's mission site or the aftermath of a large battle and try salvaging the remains.

5. Mercenary: Join a merc corp and work for hire.

6. Bounty hunting: Track down people with high bounties, then kill them

7. Manipulating markets/trade: I like to call this "Passive" PVP.

8. Create highly specialized characters, then sell them.

9. Use exploration to find cool stuff, then sell the location to people.

10. Scamming: Self explanatory, can either be really profitable or a waste of time.

11. Corporate theft: Also self explanatory, will certainly make it difficult for you to legitimately join a corp in the future though

12. Lotteries: Create one and make a profit, or get really lucky in joining one...just make sure it isn't a scam first....



That's all I can think of off the top of my head at the momeny, there are probably more

Based on your selection of available friends to help you suicide gank with, or pvp trap with, and how many people are going to be interested just bringing you into their group based on your experiences and what you currently have to offer:


None.

A good scammer can make more than any PvE player.

I don't know about that . . .

How much does a "good scammer make"?

I know lots of PvE players that bring in around 1.2 Bil/hour (using 2 chars).
