EVE New Citizens Q&A

Have you considered going to Jita? Folks there offer to double your money about every 10 seconds. You could have your 100 mil in no time at all!

If you don't belong to a corp yet, consider joining one. The one I belong to has an industrialist player who makes our ships for half price. He made my Harb for 26 mil. A corp could also maybe supply you with some modules further reducing your costs.

Offer lapdancing services in the subway.

A halfway-decent interim step might be the Arbitrator cruiser - it's along the skill path to the Harbi, and it should be good at Level 2 and some Level 3 missions, if you train up drone skills (which will serve you well in any case).

Also, you might train Salvaging and use one of the Arbitrator's high slots for a salvager - loot and salvage can easily earn you double the ISK you get from mission rewards alone.

I would still say that PLEX is the best way of fast wallet fix, 1 bil can buy you a lot of fun in newbie stage of your Eve adventure. Of course there is PVE way like missions/mining/exploration but they all require skills to really get max out of them and that means time to get skills to reasonable levels.

With that being said, you shouldn't rush into bigger ships if you have troubles with smaller ones. A lot of support skills are really the same regardless of ship size/class/type and you should get to level 4 all of them ASAP. It is good to have a goal in training like it is Harbinger in your case but it shouldn't mean you will skip skills that are not required for that ship. Having only required skills means you can basically just sit in a ship instead of using it up to its full potential.

One PVE activity that you can get into with relatively low level skills is salvage after other people doing L4 missions. A lot of missioners don't bother with cleaning up their mission sites because they make more money just running next missions. And quite a lot of them will let you join them to salvage, I think there is a chat dedicated for this purpose even. And it can really be a huge money for a newbie, it's not uncommon to bring 20 mil in salvage from a good L4 mission and all you really need for it is a destroyer with salvagers.

And last advice from me: don't get hang up too much on prices/money and financial side, at the end of a day what really matters is amount of fun you got from playing not your wallet numbers. Money should be just a means to the end not end itself.

Have fun and good luck :)

ok fit a cargo scanner to a cruiser. and some guns!!! go to jita!!! look for haulers, and other small ships.. scan c argo holds,


if they have blue print orrignals of cruisers and above blow them up !! doing this will get you blown up too. then simply dock get into your brand new starter ship undock warp to the wreck and loot everything!!!!

THIS IS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE WITH TWO ACCOUNTS!! as you dont run the risk of the target rushing back to reaquire his goods.

bpo's are worth a fortune. a basic cruiser bpo can fetch alot of isk arund the 20 mill isk mark. battle cruisers are around the 200-300 million isk and battle ships are about 1 billion isk


lol and no im not a pirate ive just been playing along time and ive seen it done many many times.

you should make alot of isk this way but you will get your self a very bad reputation which is bad bad at such an early stage of your eve game play.

Missions will net you the most amount. Continue training your skills so you can fly a cruiser effectively. For L2's, the Maller is a good choice, but so is the arbitrator if you know how to use drones effectively (Requires drones 5 to work).

Always remember, make sure the corp you do missions for has L4 agents so you can work up to that level.
Also, the loot from L1 and L2's is pretty poor, so just try to get through as many as possible. Trust me, you will make more ISK that way.
