I started playing about two weeks ago, and I've gotten myself a coercer with some good fittings, and I've been running T1 missions and salvage. I've done all the tutorial missions, and after about 10 hours of work I have 3 million ISK, but I feel like there must be a more efficient way to make money. I really want to get a cruiser, or something bigger, and if I have to I am willing to keep grinding, but this seems extremely inefficient, and its getting frustrating. Any suggestions from more experienced players? |

This early in the game money isn't the deciding factor for what ship you use... training is. Can you even fly a cruiser or something bigger? If you look in the ship tree, you can right click on a ship and select 'Show Info'. There is a tab called 'Requirements' which will show you the skills needed to fly it and if you have them. Also, just because you can fly a particular ship doesn't mean you should. You have to decide what you are wanting to do and then pick the right ship for the job. |

What Frisky said aside, you are going to get a lot of trolling here.
Post this again in the new player forum for answers from decent and helpful people.

I made 7m ISK today by flying around asteroid belts and scooping abandoned drones.
Put drones on your overview and give it a try.

One of the best sources of income for a day one character is faction warfare.

You haven't done all the career agent missions.
Each set of 5 career agents will give you about 10 million isk, about 8 ships (mix of haulers, miners and damage dealers) and some skillbooks. Each race has 3 sets you can complete. If you're an alpha... that's 30 million isk available. If you're an omega you can do 3 agents for 4 factions... so 120 million isk. Those missions are VERY easy. I've done all of them with 2 T1 drones in my venture as the only damage (other than the missions where your ship blows up... I do them in other frigates heavily ensured). |

This isn't really a bad way to start. I've never done it as a source of income but as a new player, yes, it can definitely make you enough for a cruiser.
The career agent epic arcs will earn you some ships, skill books, ISK but most of all experience at different aspects of the game to give you an idea on what YOU want to do.
My best advise? Do the career agents first. Then find a good corp and let some of the experienced players talk/walk you through the rest of it.
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose.
Unless you podded them...and collected their corpse.

Oh, so you can do the career missions for every race? I thought you could only do the ones for your particular race |

Work in real life, buy PLEX for Euros, Pounds, Dollars, whatever and sell that in-game. Most efficient way to get ISK, especially that early in the game.
When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Yeah, I have all the prerequisites. I sold almost everything I got from my first set of career agent missions, as well as all the cash rewards in order to get my coercer set up and to get the prerequisites for a cruiser. And as dumb as it sounds, I kinda just want a bigger ship. I'm looking to get into more intense pvp/pve combat, but I imagine a destroyer and maybe even a cruiser are no match for the heavier stuff. |

If you don't have the patience to earn your ISK and experience, this game is not for you.

PVP will chew you up and spit you out regardless of the ship you use. Just a fair warning.
People only shoot at me once they figure out I'm where their drones are going.
