RR Ishtar's or a life...

Hi all,

Once again, EVE has pulled me back in and the relearning has started all over again.

Prior to my vacation, I would leave Thera and locate a null system where I could put my 'Solo Gang' to work. I had 2 RR Domi's with a Astero as my Loot / Scout fairy.

Today I am now able to field 2 Ishtar's with max drone skills.

Dual boxing, while fun, was quite busy. Especially when the site would escalate and I would have to relocate these 2 big whales a few jumps. Fortunately a fully insurable setup, but a massive pain if one went down and I had to replace it deep in null.

Now with the new Skill Extractors / Injectors things change a bit. I play EVE primarily to PVP, but I also need ISK to feed that habit, hence the RR setup.

So I did some quick sums and hopefully I am on the ball.

I can pay $70 for AUR to obtain enough extractors and vegetate my PVE ALT turning him into ISK 20B (Current Prices). That 20B can go straight to my trader alt, whom can then work with the capital passively, while my main sits in a Sabre catching explorers. Twisted

Is this what some folk are doing now?

Reason this came about is, I jumped into my trading ALT and made 150+M in an hour last night just by watching my orders. While my MAIN caught explorers.

If its ISK I want to generate fast and easy, then TRADING on an ALT seems far more lucrative than RR ISHTARS in null.

TL;DR - Would a seasoned Trader with 20B make more ISK than 2 RR Domi running null sites. Thus freeing up my main to PVP roam.

I think I have answered my own question, but am curious what the community thinks.

Station trading can be phenomenally lucrative. Personally, I find it more tedious than mining, or anything else for that matter. If you want to sit there watching orders like a hawk, just so you can pvp more, no-one can say you're doing it wrong.

Yer, I had a theory craft last night. Figured I'll try some PVE with 3 toons.

Now to just find some setups, for maximizing ISK/hr.

MAIN - Fly anything Subcapital
ALT - T2 Domi, Ishtar (Max Drones Skills)

&

ALT - Currently training as a Booster Alt, maybe put him into a Command Ship for PVE?
