Crying? No, just making fools out of people that cant think.

You lost a Corax to Concord not a week ago.

do some basic PI. Should at least make you 50mil/week passively.

So you mean yourself? Considering you canā€™t figure out how to earn ISK? :smiley:

Even tho there are tons of easy ways?

Looks more like a beggarā€™$ thread to me.

*Go to Jita already!!!

Do PI, or borrow some money from someone who trusts you so you can start up some industry.

EVE is an economy and warfare simulator, and it seems to be accurately simulating what happens when people create artificial restrictions for themselves when it comes to making money, such as ā€œstrictly no miningā€ and then cry about suffering the risks of risky endeavors.

Buy a destroyer or cruiser and go do high sec anomalies. Find something you like and find a youtube video of someone doing so either cheap or efficiently.

Also if it took you 9h to get 92mil from exploration then youre either slow, sloppy, or inconsiderate of your surroundings.

They give them what they have left behind.

Use a free ship available at any NPC station and do some Distribution, go Mining or do level 1 Missions.
Even without isk thereā€™s still fun to be had in New Eden.

Itā€™s tuff. Market skills are essentials. I could have made 50 mil gain with a bit of patience and Dr Who special event filaments, but I went hush hush and lost isk to the end. Making isk is a lot about mastering the market.

Seriously man,

Look up this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/Ac3face007 and watch his Abyssal fits and runs =profit.

Itā€™s incredible how CCP still allows this with so little risk involved and can be done with so little investment. Itā€™s puts industry/mining to shame and you will be shocked how much isk you make with virtually no risk involved other than youā€™re own stupidity during a mission run.

Just be picky. If you donā€™t like the price for whatever reason, even if itā€™s because you have a feeling or remember a higher price. Just hold on to it. There is precedence for changes being made in the game that causes the prices of different things to change. Maybe a resource respawns less or there is a mechanic change. Limited edition things appreciate with time.

Hell, once in a while a big war breaks out and that may increase the prices of things.

Why do you whine about it?

Eve is not a game where you can jump in and immediately make trillions. It is more akin to something like The Elder Scrolls games where you start off with absolutely nothing ( in fact a prisoner ) and gradually gain skills and money. Eve requires a lot of patienceā€¦especially with the skills tree.

6 weeks in ( as you say you now are ) I was a miner in a Venture and had a handful of frigates and a few hundred million in ISK. 14 weeks in, which is where I am now, I have 3bn ISK, 2 Procurers, 2 Gnosis, 3 Vexors, several Tech 2 Caracals, and about 30 frigates and destroyers, across 3 characters. Long before heading for the massive ships, I have learned how to get max possible DPS out of smaller ships. Heckā€¦one can get a free Velator to 75 DPS ( cost just a mere 200K ISK ) with the right skills.

You need a goal in Eve other than just ā€˜making moneyā€™. My goal is to have the most formidable smaller ships in Eve. Itā€™s amazing how that 70 DPS Algos that one starts off with in Eve can be turned into a 300 DPS fighting machine ( I suspect I can get the DPS even higher ).

All paid for by mining and ratting. My adviceā€¦find a high security system to mine in, with a low security system very nearby you can rat in. Donā€™t rat in big expensive shipsā€¦even a Tech 2 Condor can defeat most rats.

I can get my paper thrashers with 7k ehp passive under 10 mil to do 490 dps with tackle. I can also get my Punisher to do 218 dps with 11k+ ehp passive with tackle. My skills are not maxed.

This thread reminds me of kids who come out of college, just a Bachelors degree, no experience, and expect to immediately land a $100k/yr job with stock options and full bennies. :roll_eyes:
