Hey guys. I am currently FCing in an alliance, meaning I'm quite active in PvP. The problem is, it's really starting to fill a hole in my wallet, and my current sources of income aren't generating enough ISK to fix that problem. I am basically looking for a new method of earning space cash, and even though I don't plan to pay for the game with ISK, I'm also curious as to how the people who do plex their account, how are you making so much ISK? How did everyone make their first 1 billion? How much ISK per hour are you making? And is it fun? Please reply back with how you are making your ISK, as well as how much ISK you're making per hour/day, and explain a little more about it, as to how long it took you to get where you are. Hopefully both myself and anyone else reading who has the same curiosity will learn how to stockpile their wallets skyhigh. Thanks for reading o7

You should focus on making more real money then using it to buy plex packages.

Here's what you do.

As an FC, you can decide who lives or dies in your fleet. So before the battle allow capsuleers to pay you secret bribes to be the ones that don't become cannon fodder. The ones that pay you the most get to live and the cheapskates die. They'll get the idea pretty quick that it's worth their while to be generous and you get to keep doing what you're doing now.

Whether that makes a ton of ISK not sure. v0v

I usually just get my ISK doubled by one our trustworthy official New Order ISK doublers.

I need a solid income within the game. Not a fan of selling plexes, not because I can't afford them, but because I feel it's cheating.

Great strategy, but in my fleets, everyone but me is cannon fodder :3

Well you don't have to tell me the fine details, like which Fullerites are the best to trade in, or which DED sites spawn the best officer mode, because I can find that out myself. I just want a point in a new direction to making ISK.

Move to a high-end wormhole corporation and make 1-2bn per week running cap escalations with corpies.

Also leave unpleasant null issues behind.

Most wormhole corporations dont prohibit you anchoring POSes wherever you please, have no blues, and dont restrict you from using capitals or certain ships as you see fit. Basically you can do as you please in wormhole space.

I highly recommend you give the finger to your alliance overlords, they hold you as little more then a slave anyhow, and move.

Or do null exploration. relic analyzer, no rats, steady 100-200m per hour income.

PS: dafuk? your alliance not paying you isk for leading fleets? what cheap asses. def give em the finger.

I'm also one of the alliance directors. Lol. And yeah our industry wing has a POS in a WH, and made a bit of ISK in it, but got raided a lot, so I tend to avoid it.

Even crappy null sec with a level 5 military upgrade you should be able to get 25 million isk bounty ticks in a T1 non-faction BS. Bounty ticks are every 15 minutes so that's 100 million per hour if you ignore loot. I used to make more isk off of loot than I did from bounties but loot has been nerfed 4 times since those days. However we have MTUs and the noctis now so it might still be worth it. You'll have to figure that out on your own.

If you have an Alt that you can put in Highsec, and they can either fly a Logi, or decent skills for a BS, then I'd say Incursions. You'll see that about half or more of all Incursion pilots are Null alts.

It's good isk.
Still has the good social aspect (vs mining, missions, industry).
Site times are not that long so you can leave in a hurry.

It's probably the best, most consistent, and safest way to make isk. Other ways can make you more, or require less in game time invested, but have their own drawbacks or risks.

- High Sec Incursions on an alt
- Buy orders in a mining system to make ships to sell (passive income while ships are made and sold)
- Plantary Interaction ( more passive income)
- Trade hub margin trading (high sec alt)
- Mining (relaxing activity to do while making new fittings on the other screen or discussing plans with your corp / alliance / coalition)

If you want to be really devious: Twisted
- change doctrines fairly frequently
- supply the staging station
- make sure loot from kills comes to you for "SRP" reasons
- have a salvaging destroyer follow your a jump behind.

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Faction warfare is not a bad income if you are really active and willing to run back to back level 4's. Oplexing is also not a bad income.
