Did anyone achieve 1bn in anything smaller than a BC?


I made my first billion in about a month running Serpentis DEDs in a Vexor.

Probably not as easy post AI changes though.

If I am not trying, I usually earn 1 billion isk worth of assets every month. Sometimes two if I play a lot and even them I'm just sort of piddling around.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Yeah, that's now. How about when you made your first billion? How long did that take? How deep was the snow you had to trudge through every day on your way to the pod at the back of your apartment on your way to work? And so on... Like, what was your hustle?

Watch this space.  New exciting signature in development.

Around a month, I started off doing missions and then I took up the Power of 2 offer and got an alt.

Trained the alt for contracting, bought low and sold high. Made around 200mil profit per week first month then it continued to escalated, then CCP moved all deadspace/officer/faction stuff onto the market, now we the trading game belongs to the 0.01 isk bots.

OP is a new pilot, so ignore all the I-did-it-in-2-seconds pilots. They are like blink, they only tell the good parts. You never hear the losses or the times they ****** up, just like any pilot. You need some null or low income though. It took me about two months, as I was learning the game as well.

I am terrible at making ISK. It took me two years go get the personal wallet above 1b.

That being said, I consider ISK that is not in space, being ISK doing nothing and as such I have spent a lot of (personal) money on Ships, Starbases and Customs Offices. My killboard shows I lost 2.9 billion in PVP ships alone, so I could have had way more by now if I didn't engage in PVP and refused to utilize my private funds to further corporate / alliance goals. However, I get much enjoyment out of accomplishing these goals and they often include some meaningfull PVP, so I consider these good investments no matter how they turn out.
