Ships & Modules

Also, strictly t2 fitted. No t1(except rigs) and faction mods(due to price).

Vargur in highsec. Not because highsec or the Vargur is that good, just the Loki is pretty bad at PvE.

You want isk? Run your Vargur in Incursion fleets :)

No way.. you may not do as much DPS as a Mach, but you have amazing tracking...just fit a sensor booster and dont overtank your Vargur.. will be golden in Incursions.. the payouts are worth it.

If you have the ISK - faction fit your Loki and run 0.0 complexes. You need to be able to run gate camps to do this (due to 0.0 being dangerous and the high number of jumps you need to do to find sites).

1 site can net you 500-1billion. Although it can also get you 'tags and ammo' e.g. 50mil. Personally i find these the most interesting.

Sadly, unlike the proteus, you can't go 'co-ops' and still hit hard enough - but here's a fit i was looking at anyway.

Honestly though the loki isn't great for PVE - thats about 1.3B-1.5B isk to do guristas/serpenties 8/10's. I can do the same in an ishtar for 250mil.... and fit a cloak while im at it.

A Sleipnir might be a better option for you. Although im not sure if you can fly one of these. Will me much cheaper and faster.

P.S. Faction ammo might be expensive but it will rip through those plexes much quicker.

P.P.S. Im using the 'artillery' sub-system, because it has a better damage modifier (as opposed to ROF, which eats ammo) and also has a tracking bonus, perfect for frigs.

Best of both worlds! Run L4 missions in a Vargur in NPC 0,0. It's what I do. More steady/safer income than plexes.

There is possibly more money to be made with pirate missions than incursions. Here is my math:

The money is in the LP store. 0,0 missions give more LP than their highsec counterparts. Training security connections is a good idea too.

A typical Angel Cartel mission gives 9-13k LP for the ones that take 10-20 minutes to do.

A Cynabal BPC costs 80k LP and 20 million isk. Currently Cynabals sell for around 250mil.

Assuming I may be a bit biased and accounting for neuts coming into local, other distractions, etc. Call it on the low end of 30k LP an hour.

230 mil (cynabal-20 mil for bpc) / 80,000 (lp) = 2875 isk/lp.

2875 isk X 30,000 Lp/hr = 86,250,000 isk/hour

But that's not all! When you get missions against pirate factions they are exactly the same as they would be in highsec. Add the bounties on top of that 90 mil/hour. Even better, empire faction missions that drop tags can give an additional 20-30 mil depending on the mission. That adds up very quickly. I invested in a 1.3 billion isk vargur and within 2 weeks had made 2.1 billion isk while simultaneously getting 40-50 kills (I wasn't Pveing the whole time).

Train an alt to scout for you and don't mission with neuts in local/obey standard 0,0 survival techniques.

The best part, you don't have to wait/deal with incursion fleets or be forced to talk on comms if you don't want to. Crank up some music, and grind away.
