Oh, you can do what I do, and run trade scams. That's relatively lucrative, and it's not really much work.

Buy PLEX from CCP. Sell PLEX on market. Swim in Merlins all month long.

This is definitely the best advice if you are just starting out. Buy a plex and join RvB for a couple of months. Then go to lowsec.

Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec and nullsec.

I'm actually thinking about mining to save the ISK instead buying all the ships we need.

Missioning is more cost effective and quicker though

I know what you are hinting at,
but mining I can do without much attention, all day.

So while mining on one account I can play on another.
Running missions is not what I consider playing.

Of course, waiting for a gank to happen and stealing loot works too.
It takes as much attention as mining and is quite lucrative.
More than mining.

Maybe I'll concentrate more on that.
I love playing with others forcing others to play with me! :D

Pretty much. While mining I can still play the game,
but with missions ... nope.

Trading is the ultimate ISK-machine for the lazy dude or dudette.

You don't even have to be logged on to make money.

You really don't get it, his priorities are not: "How can I make the most money in the shortest amount of time so I can buy bigger ship that cost more money so I can make even more money and buy a bigger ship"

It's: "How can I PvP and keep myself in PvP ship without having to farm or do boring PvE stuff"

So yes, join FW and just PvP in plexes, try to wait out timer if they're about to finish, you'll fund your PvP and then some.

The only problem with joining a FW faction is that you get a bunch of "blues" that you shoudn't shoot. Stay neutral and you can shoot everybody, but then no ISKies.

Hmm... Yeah, I'll consider FW a possibility, Or possibly try null ratting. With a few of my ships in neutral stations.

I usually fly around, looking for unsuspecting people and jump on them without warning, or ask in local for a 1v1. If im really desperate ill purposely mouth off a little and upset someone until they lash out wildly...

Oh wait.. "funding my PvP". I thought this was another "Finding PvP" thread.

I was way off.

Ignore me. Im loopy from lack of sleep pulling an all nighter in the office. Overloading the coffee modules as we speak.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I'd just do it like when I wait for ganks to happen.
Have the overview visible on the side of the screen and do something else.

Haven't even started mining yet, not sure I actually want to. xD

If you do FW, just watch out for people like me trying to ruin your day :D, anyways I have a PI setup going that will give me about 180mil/month/character and most of the work is just setting it up, only have to restart the miners once every 3 days and take 5 minutes to haul everyday.

Yet in the real world he will earn very little isk by trying to PvP and complete plex's at the same time simply because true 1 v 1 does not exist.

Try as he might in his little merlin but 99/100 he will be out gunned by people in better ships / multiple people / people using boosting alts.

Also at no point did I say he must buy bigger ships.

The simple fact is that if he uses 2 different ships, one purely for plex'ing and one for PvP he will be able to earn more isk quicker.

This in turn will mean he can PvP more.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

A PVP-fit Merlin can 'plex' much better than any frig with useless warp core stabs. Especially in Kronos.

You can kite in a plex with a merlin with a AB, only thing is missile boats and drone boats do mean damage to your tank.(merlin)
