1. Enlist one of your character in Minmatar militia
2. Spend 30min collecting 10-12 L4 missions
3. Spend 2h running said missions (in friendly space)
4. Buy 25 stabbers and some nexus chips off the market
5. Wait until minmatar hit warzone T5 (it happens alot)
6. Collect 25 Stabber Fleet Issues from your LP store.
7. Profit!

Disclaimer: I don't have a minmatar alt and the above is based on my experience running Amarr FW missions a while back. I am pretty sure the numbers are not that far off but someone is sure to soon correct me if I am wrong.

Good luck!

While I don't know the percentages, as a faction gains more control over systems they go up in tiers, up to tier 5, the higher the tier that a faction is at, the less LP's it costs to purchase items. I am sure I am missing a lot with this explanation, but that is the gist of it.

At warzone control Tier 5 LP store prices are cut with 75% (at T4 they are 50%).

To get to warzone control T5 you need 80% warzone control. Warzone control is determined by the number of systems you own + the total of all upgrades you have made to those systems. Upgrades costs LP. In Amarr/Minmatar FW space there are a total of 420 points over 70 systems and right now Minmatar control 67 of these systems. Each system you control gives one point + the level of the upgrade of said system. Minmatar can (and do every now and then) upgrade their systems to get to T5 at will.

What's the stealth bomber part of this? I don't see any.
Otherwise pretty good tactic, since Minmatar dominates vs Amarr atm.

The higher the tier, the more of a discount you will get in the FW LP store.

Tier 1 = prices are set 400% higher

Tier2 = 200% higher

Tier 3 = old prices (this is what mission runner would pay)

Tier 4 = 50% discount off

Tier 5 = 75% discount

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The step 5 does not seem counted to be in frame of 200 mil/hour.
And then again, if everybody would do that, nobody would buy absurd ammount of those ships.

Stealth bombers has the speed and dps to do these missions in ≈ 5+ minutes each (usually you need to kill a BS, a structure or a couple of haulers) and you can warp cloaked.

200m/hr lol

Have you got light missile launchers on your bomber or something? 500+ if you are competent, more if you really know what you are doing.


This is using OPs maths though, in reality, time getting in new stealth bombers when old ones die, time buying stuff, time waiting for T5, time moving, time selling all add up to significantly decrease these figures.

So you agree then that 200M/hour is realistic for a competent pilot?

If only there was a massive surge of new Amarr FW players... tied to a social site like reddit...

Maybe they could call it Fweddit.

Fwedditors do take pride in dying in T1 fit thrashers. I know. And I do. But this thread is about ISK and faction cruisers.

what if we fooled the system into thinking that some worthless implants were worth a lot

we could just generate tons of LP

we'd be rich

Haven't you heard, that was deemed an exploit. This is 100% legit.

Indeed it is, I'm surprised more people haven't figured this out.

I guess this is not something people like to talk about in public because it may hurt their bottom line.
