EVE General Discussion

She asked, which was the single most profitable activity. While this may seem like a fun fact to talk about is it also not the best way to make a lot of ISKs and usually just gets noobs on the wrong track.

Just setting up a couple of Planetary Control Centers, which costs a few million ISKs, will give you a nice extra per month. Do this with all your alts and it becomes a noticeable amount. All for a minimal skill training.

You can then do the same with research. Maybe not in high-sec, but there are still some low-sec NPC stations where the waiting times are short. Do this for all of your alts and it is another worthwhile income. BPOs only gain in value when researched. Again for a minimal skill training.

And then there is trading with market orders. This too does not take much skill. It does not need 300 market orders, but one can start with buying dog tags and salvage materials, or anything else that is is small but valuable, and selling them at Jita. They are easy to transport in a frigate and as long as one doesn't auto-pilot can one move a few hundred million ISKs with it and make another profit.

Then start running security missions for R&D corporations like CreoDron, LaiDai, Viziam and Core Complexion and train research management. Once you have some standing with them can you activate their R&D agents, who will produce you data cores over time. This used to be quite profitable, now not so much, but it still is another passive income.

When you have multiple accounts then train one character to be a hauler and make it a member of Push Industries or RedFrog, or be a freelancer. Load up reasonably and you can make ISKs only with the auto-pilot and by running courier contracts, while you continue playing with your main.

Have another account idling? Then make it an Orca booster and sit in a system with an ice field. Offer your fleet boosts to miners and for a small fee (i.e. 10% of the yield) and you have another income, all passive.

Just don't work for your ISKs!

CCP Dev?

Most profitable is becoming the head of some major alliance, take over the valuable tech moons out in 0.0 and so on, and then reap the rewards of all your sheep's work. Heck, don't even need the moons if you have the right sheep, they will do anything and everything just to be associated with you. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Because you're assuming you allways need to spend 5 hours a day for this.Since we got these lovely freight contracts you could spend a mere 15 minutes a day.The rest of the time do whatever floats your boat ...

Depends what it does. I'm a well seasoned character farmer.
