Seriously, I'm tired of being miss goody two shoes, but I'm broke as a ****-poor chav the day after benies, so I have to pay with plex to stay in the game.
I'm so sick of mining and running missions, and I couldn't trade me way out of trouble, but I hear lots of brag about the pirate life and making the big ISK and all that, but I can't see it.
Throw a girl a bone. Just how is it can I make 400m + ships losses ary month killin other fools?
Just a few tips, I'll see if I can sort out the details, but dammitall I need a starting spot, eh?
I have no alts, just me and meself. Can barely keep this one account running............

taret ship -> hold with point/web -> proceed to bring to hull
while in hull, offer ransom.
if ransom paid, let the guy go. if not, boom... catch pod, repeat with higher ransom (no shooting necessary, pods are squishy)
if ransom paid, let the guy go. if not, express trip back to station...
least that's what I hear anyway. Just don't kill the dood if the ransom's paid -- get rep that you really do honour ransoms. =========================

You leave out parts where sentry guns and target viktim are shooting back..........
Or is real sucess only in the zero sekurity and to kill the hauling ships?
If this is so, I must think now to move my few posessions..........

catch ratters in belts/people brave enough to mission run in lowsec, kill em, sell the loot. If you DO decide to take a ransom, honor it, but I hear the money is in popped the faction fit mission runners and selling the loot. Hope you know how to probe down people ;)
0.0 is an option if you want to grind anoms/belts while taking part in larger fleets ----------------------------------------------- I don't post on an alt, I post on my forum main! |

This is most useful, I forgot about the low sekurity systems missions and minings.
Thanks!

tanking gate guns is possible... tanking the other guy is possible. If you're really that worried about the other guy shooting back, don't even ransom the ship, and go for the pod. =========================

If you don't have the money (ya know the 15 bucks a month) to play eve. And don't have the resources to pay with plexes. Then you probably have other more pressing issues in (real) life to attend to, and eve should take the back burner.

Pirates generally dont make isk. Unless they gate camp for hours in larger groups, but then the isk / hour is still pathetic.
Join a null sec corp, do some passive belt ratting or logistics for a little income and stick to ships you can afford to lose 5 of before you even have to worry about cash.

Ninja Loot it is extremely lucrative and fun when the MR shoots at you and you come back with your PVP ship and annihilate them off of the face of space.

I have seen this response/reply before, and I feel I must give to you a small education.
What are persons basic needs?
To eat, to have safe place to sleep.
I live on family farm. We have plenty abundance of foods and house is large and safe.
There is not loads of extra monies for each person to have, and to find seperate personal job is very hard now.
So, you see, my real life as you say is not so bad. Eve game is fun way for me to pass time instead of going about to get into the trouble such as many of ex friends do with the drink and drugs and stealing.
Thank you to the many good offers of ideas. I think I will try the low sekurity hunting first and see how well I fail.
Grin!

trade probably sucks from your perspective due to a lack of capital. it only works well when you have a few billion to play with. you will also likely not attain a positive isk gained and lossed value in terms of pirating. hardly anyone will accept your ransom, but many will blow you up.
given that you hate missions and mining, which is good because those do not pay well, i would suggest corp infiltration. there are many threads about it, but it's the easiest way in the game to grab money. after that, i would do some regional trade. it's too easy.

Ratting in null space belts with support will make you money. Still have to grind. Only thing is you might loose a ship or two every now and then on roams. ------------------------------------------------ Inventor of the DracolicheÖ Troll Warning System |

You are a troll. No, it's not possible for anyone who wants to to be a successful pirate. Nor should it be.
