Just 2ç

Knew this guy who, 4 months into the game, was easily plexing 2 accounts with his null income until his alliance lost its sov and he found how difficult it is to plex a single account in hisec with a 4 months old char.

I would like to wade in here with the comment that you are looking at just one aspect of making money in Eve - effectively ratting.

As I am an industrialist - this thread helps me how?

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

It is probably the most common method of making ISK. I trade but don't begrudge people their ratting threads.

As an industrialist, this thread probably doesn't concern you. Much like none of the threads in S&I concern ratters.

Confirming null is way easier to make spaec moneys in. Way easier.

Look i'm a grownup with things to do and can't dedicate 4-6 hr chunks of a day to eve. Would love to, but no. I buy a plex or two and sell it on the market if i need isk and so my focus is on what i'm doing and who with.
So much concern with isk/hr comes from oddball loners who know everything and aren't willing to take their place in a group they can't dominate. 20m ticks? I'm pleased for you son but that's approaching 4$ per hour. You'd be better off stuffing envelopes and buying plex on the market from some rmt bot.

Wormholes are your friend, specifically those that lead straight to highsec. Lowsec holes are more common and work fine if you are close to a quiet highsec entry.



For ten months out of the year I am under war dec, not flying around Jita with a couple billion in a blockade runner. Wormhole or not.

Hence hi sec alts,because it's a waste of time chasing the market hub campers.

It's quicker to have a hauler alt staged and just jump to low.

Missions & Complexes forum, search for Null Sec Ninja Master Guide or somthing like that, it's a pretty good read. There are 2 versions, the original thread from a year or more that is now locked and someone restarted it recently iirc.

I'm not going to get into the argument as there are points to be scored on both sides.

But I think alot of these sort of threads, I mean the nerf high-sec nerf null-sec are pre-emptive strikes and are really saying -- if I make a good case that someone is better off than me then CCP won't swing the nerf bat on my favourite isk generator.

Good for you that you have the option to buy isk. However a lot of people don't like to buy it since it cheapens the whole experience of playing a game. Sort of like buying monopoly money. Others have better things to spend their RL dollars on.

Me I sometimes will buy a plex however since I'm attempting to fund 10 stealth bomber alts I'd rather not spend 150 per month.

Yeah no I don't think so. There's no reason at all for me to ever run a L4 again. Doing so would be mentally unbalancing.

Drop it at the first highsec system you enter and use public courier contracts to get it to the closest hub, then to Jita. It costs less than 1% of the collateral amount.

See right here is where i'm confused. A PLEX is 500m isk, you're making 100m an hour, so 20% of a PLEX.
Works out to about 3$ an hour, correct my maths i suppose but i doubt it's far off.
You're willing to spend 5 hrs making enough play money to buy one PLEX when a kid flipping burgers is making substantially more, quicker.


Clearly you are going to live forever, there's no other way that works out.

No, I don't get it. Highsec is ONE jump away if you find the right wormhole, a wormhole in null that leads straight to highsec. Alternatively, a more common wormhole that leads to a quiet lowsec system very close to a highsec system.

Yesterday I made a billion an hour. Since I looted 2 Rattlesnake BPC, Pith X-Type XL Shield Booster, Pith X-Type Explosion Hardner, 21st Tier Overseers, 19th or 20th Tier Overseers (don't remember), Pith A-Type Medium Shield Booster, Dread Guristas Cloaking Device. Not including bounties.

And the main thing, that makes it very distinct from income is its fun to do. Rather than something I have to do.

Assuming by that you think that's a bad fit.

750dps
1100 / 1700 ken thermal tank.
732 m/s with 159m sig
Cap Stable.

Only site I have to both sig and active tank is maze. The rest I can just sit there and pop shite permatanking with booster and sig.

    Apparently some people see the gaining isk as the game and haven't found out that all the fun stuff comes from spending isk. That is maybe why they end up with those stupid officer fit mission running boats. They just haven't found anything to spend isk on.

    Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

    Well done, you have a carrier. Your initial post was whinging about the supposed difficulties of ratting in nullsec, namely getting the loot out. Here, I'll post it for you:

    But I can make 60/hr in high sec while in fleets with a high sec alt with borderline skills and 250 mil of raven AND not have to deal with the aggravation of hauling **** back to empire to sell it.


    So you rat in highsec because getting everything back from null is a real pain. Wormholes are a way around this for people who don't have carrier or jump bridge support.

    Which you do.

    So what's your problem? Maybe you are just argumentative by nature.
