I was wondering if anyone had tried doing something like this? My plan is to make three trial accounts and try to make enough plex to play the accounts for free. I have a full version already, but I'm currently skilling characters up and have nothing more to do really than wait for them to level up.

My thought was first training Cybernetics I, add +3 implants to charisma, willpower and memory, and then train Frigate III, Destroyer III, Cruiser I, Targeting I, Industry I, Small Hybrid Turret I, Hull Upgrades I, Afterburners I, Rapid Fire I, Controlled Brust I, Sharpshooter I and Motion Prediction I. After this I remap to Willpower 10 and Charisma 4 and train Trade IV, Retail IV, and Broker Relations IV. Then I remap to Charisma 10 and Memory 4 and train Social IV, Accounting IV, and Margin Trading IV. With my calculations this should take about five days.

After training social IV, I'll begin to do Career Missions for the six career agents giving standings to my race, and afterwards I'll do the Sisters of Eve Arc for higher standings. I can fit ships with help from my full account. I have three computers and can play all trials simultaneously, making mission running fairly less boring with multi-tasking.

After this, I'll put each of my alts in their respective hub and start trade hub trading with cargo that fit into cruisers. I have no experience trade hub trading, but with about 70 million ISK each, I should probably get things going, and I can do it with three accounts simultaneously, making travel less tedious.

So, would this be possible? With training skills taking up 5 days of a 21-day trial, will it be possible to make enough ISK paying for three PLEX?

Or am I just ********?

That's a complicated question. Yes, I do, and I have much more important things to do than playing Eve Online.

But I guess that's the main reason I play Eve Online.

If the point is to test/prove whether its possible to plex an account during trial with station/hub trading, then i think you are doing it wrong.

Yeah, but then I need to have a PLEX. You can't do PI with trials.



With doing missions for the six friendly career agents and sister's of eve arc I should have about 70 mill ISK per character.



You do? Why? Please elaborate your statements, I feel so confused.

Yeah, I should've tried before I had a full account. I kind of got the inspiration from all the newbies trying to mine themselves to get PLEX, which is impossible. Trade hubbers can make about 100-200 mill ISK an hour I've read, so I thought I'd be possible, even with just level IV Accounting and Broker Relations, not top standing, and just frigates, destroyers and cruisers. A lot of stuff like skill books doesn't take up much cargo space.

I guess it'd be more a proof of concept than anything else. Dogs lick their balls because they can.

Numbers like that require some capital, can't do it with 5k isk you get on day 1

Well consider the more isk you have, the more isk you can make rule, if you only had 100 mil you could possibly make another 70 - 100 mil in one day but you would have to be at your computer updating orders constantly for hours and hours at about 10 mil per hour. This is just not very fun at all, and you'd burn your self out long before you could make enough isk to plex your account but if you had 1 billion isk to start out with, you could make 100 mil easy with just an hour of updating per day at 10%, so in 5 days you should easily have enough to plex that account or a new account.

The amount of isk you have will determine your trading strategy , some one with over 10 billion isn't going to be updating their orders more than say 2 times a day even in a hub like jita and they would be updating during peak hours. They could still make 1 billion per day with very little effort.

If you can't plex 3 new accounts right now, then you don't need those new accounts... I once read a thread http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=671675 old forums... I believe this dude had 20 billion, he only needed to update once per day to make 1 billion isk each day, that sure is motivating but to be honest most people give up long before because of the amount of effort one has to put into trading to get off the ground.

So your plan to start 3 trial accounts with only 5k starting isk... I'm sorry but It will only lead to self loathing, and a burn out that will probably last 1 week, unless you're a robot or something

I'd just like to know what fits you're using to do the sisters of eve arc in 3 hours.

It should be doable.

I usually whack my new alts into Jita out of the tutorials, cos I hate missions, and I cba with standing.

The first 20-50m I get by doing meta items, then move to say, T2 modules, then around 150m I start throwing a few faction/T2 ships into the mix.

the first 100m seems to take forever to get, and you never seem to have enough orders, but, around the 200m mark, I tend to find I need fewer and fewer orders, as you settle into items.

1b is doable in a month from the tutorial isk, so, 500m in the first 21d should be achievable.

After the first month, you are ofc, not working with 0 isk, so it gets easier.

Its useless...go ask Gevlon Goblin how to do missions then...
