Ahoy! So, i keep hearing from multiple people that they go into 0.0 and make billions. I also hear from people that being Anti-pirate is the way to go. Bounties galor. Personally, i've tended toward pirating myself, but haven't really gotten the chance to do much of anything of the sort exept small stuff. Me and my wingman are Get-rich-quick kinda mindsets, and it seems pirates tend to make alot of money. We've been resigned to rock-mining in order to make enough money to cover the recent losses of our cruisers, and i was curious. How DO you people make 50 million in a day? _______________________________________________ In Nomine Patris, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti~ Amen |

Find a low sec to low sec 2 gate system and camp it for haulers only. Only attack haulers let everything else pass... camp solo.
Use a fast lock multi disruptor BC.

Not a bad idea... only problem is getting pirated by other pirates. ^_^ _______________________________________________ In Nomine Patris, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti~ Amen |

Alternatively, camp with 2 or 3 other guys, and attack everything. T2 fit BS's and cruisers can give decent payoffs.

Some people say killing people is not profitable but I tend to disagree with this. I havent been ratting/missioning and simply, carebearing my isk for quite some time now. It's a bit about luck too, but killing ratting Ravens in 0.0 ftw. Lots of isk from those. You can easily make over 100m every day.

Piracy is about ransoms, not kills, for two reasons:
1. Repeat business - if you bankrupt someone by depriving them of their livelihood they won't be coming back to give you more iskies.
2. Ships lost in the last hour. Experienced players moving high-value items watch the map for those nasty red lights showing violent activity. Ransoming ships keeps you below the radar.
Of course, certain situations lend themselves to detonating the ship (if its a T2 BS and you have a small gang that can't afford to be shot at for long) or definitely towards ransom (freighters and carriers where you get no loot or loot you can't haul easily). _____________________________________________

if u want to make isk from piracy then u certainly can make a fair bit but u lose out on some of the fun.
0.0 piracy is great because so often ppl will get a faction drop and simply put the loot on their ship, making for some nice drops.
also u have to avoid flying ships that are too expensive and gate camp a lot killing haulers and boring stuff.
that's where the major isk is anyway. but u can still enjoy it, fly expensive ships etc no gatecamping and make plenty to live on and have fun if ur any good at it.

1. Don't bother with ransoming, it's a complete waste of time. Those who would pay it, you would make better ISK of from blowing up. (Though always try to ransom the pod!).
2. Kill everything. Have a non-corp. hauler ready to pick up the remains. (Why just target haulers when ANYTHING can carry valuables (yes, even shuttles or noobships).
3. If an area is dry one day, move away and try another area. But go back another time to see if the locals may just be in a different timezone. Don't stick to one spot just out of habit.
4. Be flexible, if you're bored. Try something different.

Thank god for you people, really. You make playing EVE a fun and educational life lesson. Don't go near bad people if you can't afford to die. And dark alleyways are still not good places to go without a shotgun.
I finally just read up on a basic guide to low-SP pirating. Though i have to say, a pirates personal opinion is much more intruiging to read. And i'm getting some awesome feedback here. Please, continue.
I beleive i'll grab my wingman and grab a frigate or two for us and outfit for haulers or miners at first. We're cruiser pirates currently but that's taken to much of a toll on our wallet. Inexpensive seems to be a better way to go until we can pick up our BC's and have enough money to replace them. _______________________________________________ In Nomine Patris, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti~ Amen |

I kill richly filled afk haulers in perimeter, previously kisogo, and go pirate with the profit of it.
To be honest low secure pirating is not something to get rich off, its good entertainment but you'll need a bit of luck to find good loot. And when you do you'll often find yourself sharing it with others.

So i just camped near a gate in 0.4 system, and all i did was scramble a pod. Despite being 64KM from the nearest sentry, they blew me out of the sky.
How the hell am i supposed to find a viable target in 0.4 that won't get me blown away?
Also, does anyone know if in 0.5 CONCORD will warp in? Say if you steal ore from their can without them shooting first? _______________________________________________ In Nomine Patris, Et Fili, Et Spiritus Sancti~ Amen |
