EVE General Discussion

Im on an isk drive at the moment and i was wondering

Can i make more isk with


1. A mobile base scanning Orca with cloak in nullsec and a Tengu

Or

2. Two faction/deadfit faction Battleships/Tengus running level 4 missions



Your informal but informative answers please.


Suplimentary question

can you mwd/cloak trick with the orca in lowsec or do you need a special set up. I obviously need it to get around Gatetards

yes ofc. Steady vs spiky profits

Have you considered level 5 missions? IMO they're a nice compromise between the two options you laid out. They're in low sec, so it's never boring, and if you're good at keeping your losses down, they're more rewarding than level 4s.

Dualbox Tengu + Ishtar, assign sentries to assist Ishtar, clear Sanctums before the first tick. $LOADSAMONEY$

Think you mean to assist the Tengu. That would probably work fairly well.

drake and dominix works fairly well too.. maze 10/10

Tengu can clear up small sanctum under 20mins anyway. talking about ham tengu, since i havent tried HM.. well even expensive drake can clear up small sanctum under 20mins.

in other words solo tengu 600mil per 11hrs... just on bounties at sanctums. Problem is .. Sanctums are scarce at full systems with no chance to get in

98 percent of whole null is therefore without any kind of usefull anomalies.

Dualbox ngeddon (or navy mega, depending on rat type) + sentry domi, assign sentries to ngeddon/navy mega, clear sanctums or forsaken hubs (roughly same payout as sanctums) before the first tick as well.

Cheaper, as effective as the first

But that's the general idea on dualboxing PVE ships to avoid unecessary stress. You take a main ship and a support ship with sentries to assign. Support ship can fit tracking links, sebos, remote repair.. whatever strikes you fancy. Domi is the best one, because it can provide support and fit a local tank at the same time.

well. There are not sure some hubs which provides an chance for escalation. Working for group ussually doesnt mean best isk/hr ratio. It means good feeling that you help building something.

Anyway doing plexes does provide spike income and its ussually the best way, since it doesnt involve mindless grind. You make doing plexes in one day what i would be doing an week.

Agreed with above poster.. unfortunatly you will most definatly NOT find any market guides that will help you make any decent profit. Market PVP is the most fierce kind of PVP in EVE. Not even your own mother would give you tips on that kind of PVP.

Thanks gents


There is so much good information here.

A few points

1. i totally agree that useful anomolies are thin on the ground. Everyone and their mother is scanning all of the time

2. im liking the tank and tha gank fit, although i am ninja at the moment which is why moving BS through enemy territory was as issue which is why i thought a scout tengu and moving an orca at the right times might be a better option. Although i do no someone who uses three tengus on a triple box but thats a lot of isk to lose if it goes wrong

3. Ive done Market-pew before and its a tedious process. You can make tons of isk very quicky but you have to be prepared to update 0.01 isk with people who sit at their computers and update all 200 orders and when they have finished start at the top again.
There are those that do it one a day or once a week and still make profit but it can be tedious when you update and 5 minutes later your 3rd or 4th on the list.
