And that's the way it should be, because providing your own 90b ISK ship to fight for someone else's agenda is pants-on-head ********.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Despite not owning a SC and being isk-poor as a church mouse , I could afford an SC (without selling any plex - would have to sell a few assets though).

It just accumulated after playing a few years - hard to find anything where you don't get isk shoved up your rectum in eve.

Some ppl should be ashamed to recognize it but knee erosion may be largely involved in some alliances..

Good thing i choose to focus in subcapital 80m sp and still can;t see the light at the end of the tunnel Roll

Hey,

So it's pretty simple, How did you afford yours? Buying isk? Plexing? Spending a year grinding isk?

I afforded mine by.. I'll let you know when I do.

A year?

Took me <6 months to afford a super toon with FB5, a holding toon and the super. Gotta love whs and exploration.

Thats what I did with my main. Its a great feeling flying through null and looking at the markets. You can fly everything and kit it well.

I havnt logged my super cap on in 5 months. =\

I expect no-more from such a noble Goonswarm Federation member, make daddy proud.

And daddy being? Are you just some dumb high-sec pubbie that wishes you could afford a super-carrier because you just do missions all day long?

I programmed actual, learning AI to play Eve. They generate isk so efficiently they give me the scraps, which are generally sufficient to buy a titan every few days.

CCP hasn't addressed this as botting, as they are not prepared to make the distinction between life and machine.

If a SC is a lot of ISK to you, then you probably shouldn't be flying a SC.

3 months with Snigg members alone in a wormhole plexing 3-5 times a week.


Its actually relatively easy. Also ignore anybody telling you a large alliance just buys you supers, most if not all require you to have a decent sized down payment.

So for say a Nyx: 23bil for the hul, 6 bill for a basic fit (2x A type EANM, 3x T2 trimarks, X type hardener set, and basic drone kit) plus HG slave set and 5% implants for another 6 billion.

An alliance might help you with as much as a 50% stipend but you're still going to need a fair chunk of change.

Started trade to be able to afford myself an SC , now i can buy 10's of them but wtf would i.Only reason to have them is when your into the blobfare and it doesnt make a shitdifference there if your in your rifter or SC , either way it's boring as hell.
