Get a hauler. Go to a Gallente station. Buy Garbage. Move to a Minmatar station. Sell Garbage. Profits.

This and Antibiotics from SOE stations made me quite a few mil when I was young and in need of money. And I got to see the region.

A corp-mate flies his perfectly skilled Carrier through sites in 0.0 space all day. He makes 7B / month. He's doing that for a while. I guess he is pretty rich by now.

You are a ******* idiot

Thats the 1% in here I hate


Oddly, that's the 1% I hate in real life too.

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.

A less shiney fleet can still pull you 6-7 bil isk in less time than the null sec pilot will be making a slight bit more.

But thanks for confirming that high-endhigh sec isk making activity is wildly unbalanced with the rest of the game.


Keep dreaming. Keep pulling high spots, under optimal conditions, while I low ball what an afk null player can do. Good comparison.


Scroll up, read the part I just underlined. Even in a scrub fleet that can only manage 3 HQ sites per hour, 2 hours per day of that for a month will still rake in almost 7 bil (more if you can sell the LP for more than 1k isk per lp). And in an incursion, you might as well be afk, if you aren't the FC, the LC, the anchor, the drone bunny or a dropper of some kind, your ENTIRE game play experience in an incursion is shooting something some one else tagged or repping someone who broadcasted and listening for your shield warning (set at 95%) to go off.

Scroll up further and find where you didn't even bother to mention the inevitable losses someone using an afk ship WILL experience , losses the 'protected by CONCORD and 11 logi' Incursion runners won't face . The only thing worse for insane pve isk making than this is Faction Warfare missions that you can do in a cheap ship (so losses don't matter).

You know you know the real deal here. You're just not honest enough to admit it. You scream 'RMT' when it's something about null sec, but the same thing never crosses your mind when it comes to incrusions....you know, those HIGH SEC pve activities that farm isk 24/7 with a handful of FCs who seem to always be on....as if someone was paying them to be able to be on the internet for 8 to 16 hour stretches per day.....

You know full well that the true number, especially when you include escalation drops, can be, and is, far higher for an active player.

lol, escalation drops.

Escalations are very often complete ****.


To outsiders , null is the land of milk and honey and moon goo. Because they are outsiders that don't understand what really happens. An 'escalation' in null generally means 'yay, iget to travel a lot of jumps, many times to hostile space, to then try to not die to npcs so i can kill an overseer npc to most likely get nothing more than an box of Overseer's Personal Effects worth less than if i'd have just ignored the escalation and kept ratting" lol.

Same as "yay, faction spawn in my forsaken hub!" to be followed 15 seconds later by "boo, worthless ammo and a tag".

Meanwhile, in high sec, incursions and missions pay out the exact same isk every single time, no random number generator involved at all....

Unfortunately Jenn, you are preaching to people who have their fingers jammed firmly in their ears.


edit: Apparently they weren't allowed to keep that ISK from the FW payout manipulation.

Whew, the normal scheduled posting as resumed. I was getting worried when all those Highseccers in the What is keeping you from going to nullsec thread were claiming they made so much more isk than we did. Good to see normality has restored itself.

No

In fact, 45M/h was pretty standard five years ago, using very inefficient techniques and far less capable ships than we have at our disposal right now. Running them efficiently (but still with less capable ships) raised that to just over 70M/h.

I agree that Incursions are very profitable and truely imbalanced. However, the main issue with incursion is that you have to miraculously find a fleet with room for you. Which basically may happen 10 sec or 2 hours after you logged in.

About null sec, there is no way for me to go there.

This is all fairly good advice, in my novice opinion. Even the sarcastic responses aren't too bad, because there's always a little truth in every joke, right? I keep leaving EVE and coming back because I would rather eat glass than run another Worlds Collide. If you can make enough for a PLEX per month (which is really all I need) running anoms in null-sec, then I may have to start looking for a nice established corp that doesn't get mad if I miss a POS bash or two.

I'm not sure how ISD found it off-topic to suggest a gambling service in a thread about how to make money in EVE.

Anyhow, you can gamble in EVE. If you're good at cards or just feeling lucky, try poker.

It used to be that you actually had to log in to the game to make a little scratch.

Now it's most profitable to just buy isk from all the no-life grinders and botters. When CCP made the same mistake that most real world governments did in turning a method of simplifying trade into a commodity in it's own right, the game took a sad turn for the worst.

If you want the cash without the hassle of bashing POSes, run Incursions. You get the same basic "people on coms for fun" without the hassles of nullsec and you make a metric **** ton more money.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's with this constructive advice horses**t?! I came on here to get scoffed at and generally trolled for being a carebear.
