EVE General Discussion

fixed mission prices for you

but as someone esle said he is not worth the effort to respond

You see, you shouldnt be making reasons why you cant do something.
If you want to i can try set you up with some friends in a c6 wormhole, it will be hella hard work, but they'll give you everything you need to learn the game and help you build your skills in game and out.

The trick to having lots of money in EVE isn't just making lots, it's not spending lots. If you're only ten days in, you haven't had enough time to make a lot to spend in any case.

I started this game just at the end of September with this character, i had this grand idea about exploring the eve universe and flying some huge ships into combat, exploring was the first thing that got dropped because well i sat there for about 2 hours looking at the probes crying "why u no do anything" thats when i realized i was to stoopid to understand it all or basically just needed a hell of alot longer than some to understand it, so i went ach bugger it, had a venture from one of the other tutorials so i planted my rear in it an flew to nearest asteroid belt an sat there an mined.

I mined that same spot for hours each day, i got bumped i got harassed ppl tried to scam me etc but i ignored it an continued on my way, 2nd day i had over 10 million, end of the week i had over 100 million, then i realized allow mining wasnt as bad as made out i wouldnt be able to do it constantly at the rate i was or i would just go blaaaaaaaah an leave, so i gave myself a 21 day trial an this pilot i made go combat, on him i ground missions for caldari navy, but tbh lvl 1 an 2 dont pay much an loots terrible so this account was basically keeping both going in ships and upgrades.

Long story short 2 month later im in a barge going for exhumer now, he flys a Hurricane, my other pilot flys a drake and my other pilot just yesterday sat in his newly bought Raven, every ship, every upgrade all them pilots got was bought and funded of this one account and all this one account has done is sit and mine scordite and pyrox.

Goals change, the guy sitting in the hurricane sits mostly in a miasmos all day hauling my ore, the raven pilot got the standing to do l4's but not the skills to fly the raven right so he still sits in the drake and with the other pilot does level 3's with me taking a break from mining and flying a noctis behind them salvaging/looting

If i never decided to get them other accounts i would 2 month later just by mining hi sec ore have pocket change in my wallet of excess of a billion isk, dont get me wrong i think im suffering from roid sickness or something but well i dont know how many times ive been told im doing it wrong, im gimping myself etc etc but well i've been in the game 2 month now an still cannae work out them damn probes so im no the brightest bulb.

Just pick something man an stick to it, im a slacker but doing level 3 combat missions an just salvaging/looting the wrecks can/could net me 50 mill isk a day if i didnt slack so much an sit have a laugh with corp m8's or mine like i did but in all honesty for that to work an the hours i put into that the biggest benefit to me while doing it was my corp an the ppl in it because they was active in the chat.

So aye, pick something stick with it get the relevant skill set up to make that something gooo faster an you will see the isk return get bigger

Hook up with other players. It'll multiply your isk and your fun.

I've been playing since 2006, with a 18 month break that ended around december 2012.

Until I took the break, I had lived in 0.0, wormholes, lowsec and highsec, and my wallet was always empty. I lived from ship to ship. When one exploded, I would hopefully have enough isk to buy another one. I paid no attention to actually making an income. I somehow managed to scrape a carrier together over 5 years of playing with spare isk, but never managed to fully fit it (I was in small corps with no need for a carrier other than as a cyno hauler). It all got a bit boring and i left the game.

When I came back to eve a year ago, I decided to organize myself a bit more. I joined a small corp that was growing quickly and because I was the only one with access to level 4 missions, I took people out on them. I was a ***** hauler on mining ops. I put together a set of ships that would be used to make money and nothing else. Then I took groups to run the epic arc missions and fitted my carrier properly.

After a few months, the corp joined an alliance and we moved to the drone regions. Since I now had ships set aside for ratting and probing, I could run anoms in the carrier, probe sites etc, and use a seperate stock for pvp. By the time June rolled around I was training an alt for a supercapital with real prospects of affording one by the time the alt was ready. And I always spent my isk on ships and modules or BPOs that would either make me money, or would act as equity so that I wouldn't waste isk on crap (I had developed a habit of buying faction frigates and pimping them out).

Well PL steamrolled through the drone regions but I managed to evacuate my stuff out, and now I am not in an alliance so still no need for a super. But because I have set aside specific ships for specific money making purposes, I am able to make money very quickly these days. Isk I make is invested back into my isk making ships, or set aside, and more recently building up a much bigger pvp ship hangar full of stuff I will happily whelp.

So in short, I came back to the game with less than 100 mil and a half fitted carrier. 12 months later of just being organised (not grinding for isk constantly) I have 1 bil in liquid isk, 600+mil in my sell orders, 12-14 bil in ships and another 3-4 bil in modules. I've never mined or done PI, or any margin trading market pvp. And I don't play for 8 hours a day or anything like that.

It's not about HOW you make isk, it's about what you do with it once you have it.

And if you want to pvp in FW, you can fit your ships for less than a million isk until you know what you are doing. Really cheap destroyers are incredibly effective, as most people who pvp are completely useless at it.

How about this roadmap:

Start a brand new character in one of your other character slots. play through all of the tutorials, the career agents included, to get a bunch of (actually useful) stuff while training up the skills this new character needs to fly a frigate in FW (Frigate skill, Prop jamming, guns...etc). Take your frigate of choice and sell everything you decide you don't need from the tutorials - don't worry about the prices you'll get, just liquidate the stuff for ISK. Go to Arnon and run the SoE Epic Arc "The Blood Stained Stars" most of which you can do in your frigate, get some help if you need to (this is where doing it on a new character is valuable) and pump the huge faction standing boost that gives you into your faction of choice for FW.
Buy a bunch more frigates and fittings, move them or get them moved for you and join FW.
You can probably reach this point within a couple of days if you really grind for it - a week or so at a more sedate pace where you can actually learn from the experience. Any time you have left on a reactivation, a trial or PLEX can then be spent pillaging the FW system for LPs and making bank.

Also what a lot of newer missioners do not realise is:
- LP gets higher the lower the security of the agents system
- training security connections to V makes a huge difference
- not all corps are equal in terms of ISK?LP ratio

Thesweet spot at the moment is 0.5 SOE security agents if you have Security Connections at V. You will regularly get 10,000 LP per mission with a 3:1 ISK ratio, meaning you pull in 30 mill on a good mission just from the LP. Just do not fly anything shiney or you will get ganked.
