Though I am not a Tengu pilot yet, do I see a lot of players claim that it is the best/easiest mission running ship so you might want to give it a try. You can try running two Tengus per mission and use another toon for salvaging and looting of wrecks.


Acutally, no, assuming sleeper AI is being used then multiple ships in a mission site will make drones much much more effective because the AI will likely ignore them, especially using sentries.


Have found this to be true in nullsec anoms. Especially if you drop a command ship and a carrier on the grid. Just buffer the hell out of the CS and park it under the watchful eye of a capital repairer, then drop your sentries and assign them all to the command ships. Turn on the gang links and splat the rats.

You get fast locking times, and the rats seem to just switch between the command ship and the carrier without a care in the world that the drones are even on the field.,

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Be warned that a lot of the people claiming "50 million isk per hour" are typically unable to math. They land one bounty hit of 50 million due to a rare spawn (high bounty) and their ego inflates beyond the size of an M-Class planet.

It is possible to make that much, but only at the extreme (such as running nullsec anoms/sigs with multiple carriers/Machs) or blitzing the officers in 10/10's. It is also possible by multi-box mining a fleet of hulks if you enjoy a bore-fest, and plan to replace your Hulks every time they get suicide ganked.

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

A, I'd be careful not to put too much stock in claims of 100mil ISK/hour and, B, simply understand that the bettter your overall skill set on each toon, then the better your ISK/hour will be on a gradual basis.

Remember also that part of making great ISK per hour is knowing when to pull out or just give things a rest for awhile.

2x Machariel blitzing level 4 mission,

You should keep one account and sell 3 plex per month. You'll make more isk and it's easier.Cool


This is the best advice you could possibly get on the subject. If you have enough real life money to support multiple accounts, take the money you spend on the other accounts subscriptions and instead buy plexes with it, sell them, and join the ranks of the nouveau riche -- rolling nekkid in your billions of iskies!!!

I too had multiple accounts for quite a while, until I sat down and thought about what the heck I was doing and why I was doing it.

Go to null and become a nullbear, plenty of isk to be made with multi-accounts in the blue-donut! Cool

Or wormhole space would work well, assuming you can find an unoccupied hole and can afford to run a POS. Or join an existing corp.

If you add PI to either of these locations too, you could make siginificant isk. 4 accounts = 12 characters = 60 planets (at lvl 4 planetary consolidation). That would add up to alot of isk if your setup correctly and willing to do all that clicking. Lol You could do PI in highsec if you're unwilling to leave, but your profits would be alot lower.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

I don't know how old your characters are (at least one can fly an Orca though based on your OP), so you could always sell a couple of your trained characters in the bazaar and buy some PLEX like others have suggested. This could easily get you billions of ISK which would probably take you a lot of multi-boxing time to earn.

Good luck leaving your sentries out unattended for any length of time.....Lol

And if you believe that this will work out, you really haven't spent much time with the new AI....

Even with 14 mil in drones, I lose drones, I lose them so fast, they can't even kill off an elite frig.

Personally, I feel sorry for drone boat users, they have been effectively removed from PVE....Shocked



No they haven't, you can still run havens/sanctums/patrols/hordes easilly with rattlesnakes, the times i recall a drone are neglectable

This is something thats irked me recently.

Before AI update I could use my then 3 drones to kill level 4 frigates no problems.

After AI update I can't kill them even with 5 and drone interfacing AND the specilisation...

Something wrong with that.

As for multiboxing, I just can't get my head round it, unless you had some way of guaranteeing a 600m ISK a month income for every single toon, OR an income to justify spending the extra money on the subscription... I just dont understand how it works.
