hello everyone,

so I was going to shut down one of my accounts. all characters are already sold/transferred and now I found out that the account is still paid for until ~October 20th. is there any reasonable char you can train up in two months and sell for profit? i was thinking bomber pilot or covert cyno or something. any opinions or suggestions?

I should buy an Ishtar.

Two months is basically the 51 day free trial from abusing the buddy program. If anything worth selling could be made from that, it would already be flooded on the market.

point taken. on a related note, can anyone give me a rough estimate on how long it takes to grind a decent bomber pilot?

It costs 2 plex to transfer a character. 2 months value :(
You'd be better off training a second on an already existing account.

You might come closer to breaking even if you train for 5-6 months. Even then you have to have a great name, focused skills, and be in demand.

The money was already gone, so no loss at this point.
And if the goal was to stop spending more money, I think, mission accomplished.

well i could have trained one of the 'useful' chars up some more instead of wasting time and skill books on some half baked abortion....

Toss a research/manufacturing toon on it, and keep it around to activate next time there's a tiericide-style manufacturing opportunity.


With Implants, it'll finish 3 days before your deadline.
