I recently returned to Eve and want to get into faction warfare. Since I've got all my stuff sitting in Gallente space, I'd prfer to join Gallente for FW. But a quick Google tells me that soloing missions, which seems to be the main source of FW income for other factions, is a problem for Gallente due to ECM on Caldari NPCs.

Is this accurate ?

If so, what options are there for me to earn ISK in Gallente FW while flying solo ?

Or should I just suck it up and move over to Minmatar space ? (my standings mean that Amarr and Caldari FW is not an option)

Can always run plexes for LP.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

How does that compare with the income from missions ?

If you're thinking I'm planning to be one of those people who is just in it for the ISK, you're wrong. I do plan to PvP. I'm only asking about solo income because I don't want to be relying on other people to help replace my losses.

Also, why bother with the self-censorship ?
We all know which word you replaced with them. So why should anyone view them as anything but the word you censored ?

Top 5 ways to make isk in FW.
1. warp belt to belt and shoot the rats.
2. Take the tags after killing rats in FW plexes.
3. Loot all wrecks everywhere.
4. One word: Salvager
5. Run easy missions from regular agents in low sec.

Let's consider offensive plexing at T2 which is where Gal Mil is right now, using a destroyer or assault frigate.

Go to system pop medium, 20 minutes, 25,000 LP

Then run a small, 15 minutes, 17,500 LP

Run another small, 15 minutes, 17,500 LP

Run one more small for 17,500 LP

That's 77,500 LP in an hour and 5 minutes - now let's trim 7,500 off of that to compensate for the time spent killing the plex rats and finding the plexes.

That makes 70,000 LP. a faction frigate will give you, on the very low end, 15 million ISK per 10,000 LP. That translates about an hour of uninterrupted plexing into 105 million ISK, which is still better than what you would make in most hisec activities.

Cloaky proteus with the subsystem that increases sensor strength, plus an ECCM, plus maxing Magnetometric compensation = you'll hardly get jammed at all. You'll have over 70 scan strength, plus perfect resists for the rat damage types you'll be hit with.

However, unless we have most of the warzone and tier 4, you're better off running plexes in a cheap destroyer. Less invested, more chance of fights you'll actually be willing to take, MUCH less jumping around.

Looking through the corps that were advertising within the corp window I found one in the Minmatar militia that suits me better than any of the Gallente corps that were advertising there. So I've joined the Minmatar militia.

Thanks for the help anyway.
