While waiting for a threadlock - please enjoy this free ISK making technique:

Make EVE Isk With Mining

Mining is the two one of the most common, and oldest type of generating money. It essentially indicates obtaining a dispatch and fitting mining-shipmining lasers on them. Mining is achieved regularly by obtaining several miners in asteroid belts (which are discovered in practically just about every system) fill up cans, after which have commercial school ships choose up the ore left within the “jettison cans”, this also can be achieved in protected cans, on another hand they only anchor in much less protected systems. The purpose protected cans are becoming applied is due to the fact within the dread of so known as Ore thief’s.

Ore thiefs are unsavory folks in commercial ships which will appear for your cans and carry the stuff in them, they cannot be shot or they will trigger concord (=police) response. you can assault them as shortly since the theft work is undertaken cheap eve isk buy but be careful, in the occasion you assault they are able to retaliate and concord will not safeguard you. normally these “Ore Thieves” will thieve using the intention of inviting an assault in the unprepared, lone or noob miner. Do not assault unless you have assistance or KNOW you will win.

Usually the pretty best mining ships would be the ships with most gun slots, i.e you can one of the most mining laser, ships with mining bonuses or Mining Barges).

It wasn't hidden very well apparently, CCP needs to work on it. "This'll fool them unless they look at it" is a bad way to camoflage something

How did you find my AFK cloaked Megathron named 'Hidden Fees"? Im assuming thats the BS you were referring to.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Nobody else seems to have a problem with paying a single fee of $5 to activate their account. What's the big deal? I knew about it when I activated mine.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

There's no reason for it to be there, and it's not upfront. What other game has an activation fee?

It tells you there's a $5 activation fee before you sign up, that's pretty upfront.

Put it this way... some other games will make you pay for expansions. EVE won't.

This activation question is brought up at least once every few months. You know how it ended?
If you don't want to pay the one time activation fee. You don't want to play EvE.

How is “the first fee you ever pay” not upfront?

It seems like SW:TOR charged sixty or seventy dollars for the basic edition of their game.

Since Eve is a FAR better game, it seems like $5 is chump change.

You can play that other popular MMO. They just require a small $100 fee upfront for a ton of really old expansions.

I prefer Eve's smaller initial costs and ability to add alts without investing a small fortune upfront for every... single... one.

What i've noticed is that this 5$ thing is a "sometimes" thing as I never paid the $5 when I started, simply applied a GTC.
