It's like getting paid to do pvp.


This so much. Even if you don't find any sites you are still out in space moving around. Greatly increases your chances of finding fights as well.

Put an alt in FW and receive afk LP while you do other stuff on the computer. This nets easily +3billion per month, and you don't need a trained character to do it, less than 100K SP is enough. This is what most people do currently to plex their accounts and fund PVP.

How exactly do you make money in FW afk? It does not really sound like PvP if it can be done afk.

Do you know who's going to inherit New Eden? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.

Fly cheap ships that counter popular current ships, kill them, sell shiny loot.

Years ago i flew a Neutron 'ranis with a 15km web - 12k/s Crow's pimped out with Gistii MWD's and Faction I-Stabs where fodder. The crusader with 4 range mods (pre rig-stacking penalty) did the same job. Every loss was 30mil, every kill was 100+ depending on the gods of loot.

Or supplying valuable intel. Can't count the times someone out doing sites caught wind of a target. Popping POCOs can be done, usually done corp-wide as it's hard to hold them in lowsec. Their yield is better then hisec though, if you happen to have the skills for PI you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't set something up. Blockade runners seem like an odd choice to train for PVP pilots, but I'm getting a lot of value out of mine transporting PI stuff through lowsec but also combat modules and ammunition. FW or joining a lowsec corp that "lives off the land" are good ideas.

Mix it up entirely and come to wspace. You can pull in 100m an hour running c3 sites or even higher if you're able to field capital ships/loki's in high class wormholes. It's a completely different game when compared to playing in known space. Everyday is entirely different from the last.

We recently moved into a C2 and I love it. A C3+ would be a logical next step.

EDIT: Actually, because the wormhole requires me to move a lot of stuff around it was too tempting to pick up trading again. I guess it's all about balancing combat with other activities. After a few weeks of not trading I kinda missed it.

Awox ransoms are another option if you have a secondary account. (hell, if you're proactive enough you might plex the account with ransom money). See my sig for more details.

If you're looking at wormholes, a c2 with a highsec/c5 static will see the most action. If you have a group with capital access, a C5 or C6 is some of the best money in eve. C3 with a low sec static is a decent alternative for easy logistics, decent money and some action. C4/C4's are the carebear paradise.

In my experience, funding PvP is fairly straightforward as long as you follow a few specific guidelines:

  1. Only fly what you can afford to lose: The biggest rule in EVE, if you cannot afford to replace your PvP ship, then don't fly it until you can afford to replace it.

  2. Maximise the efficiency of your ships: By this I mean if your ship is worth 100M, you need to try and aim to kill more than 100M ISK with that ship, as it will justify the cost of it through destroying enemies. Not a major point, but I like to follow it

For funding my PvP efforts, I tend to build T2 ships in highsec with alts, which provides a decent source of ISK. I won't say which hull-types or ships I build as a guy's gotta have some secrets. But T2 production is a fairly profitable market, as long as you choose the right ships to build and (KEY POINT HERE) you build the components for those ships from scratch. Buying parts for T2 ships makes no money whatsoever, and people tend to make that mistake when getting into T2 production, so build everything you need from the ground up really.

Aside from that, make ISK where you can running PLEXes or my personal favourite, Relic sites. Doing that with T2 produciton, I can support 4 accounts as well as purchase masses of materials for further production and PvPing.

Hope this helps - shoot me up a mail though if you (Or anyone else reading this) has a queory or wants to know more

If you have a decent job and consider your time valuable. By far the best isk/hr you can get is plex.

I for one am an extremely busy person and i am not about to spend my short time in eve doing missions, and for that, plex is wonderful.


Good Sir;

If you have a real job just buy PLEX. Paying poor farmers is a noble cause too.
