Why be so limited to be only a combat pilot? I think your self limiting yourself in your viewpoint.
If your a miner, put some skills into having some minimal combat capability.
If your a combat pilot, put some skills into isk making capability.
Most who are not terribly old do this by using alts for different roles. Thus a pure combat pilot will have an industrial alt, a scout alt, a hauler alt etc...
Thankfully in EVE you can be all of these things and don't have to be only one thing.

I can only speak to my own corp/alliance as to this issue.
We have a standing policy. All PVP loot goes to the corp/alliance. That loot is then distributed to the "free to grab" hangar, auctioned off internally, or sold publicly depending on the item type. So PVP loot will either feed the coffers or mitigate the costs of providing for free modules and ammo.
When officer or faction loot drops it can sometimes fetch a pretty price.
Also, pvp drives industry. There is nothing else that really does this en-mass the way that pvp does. How does it do it? replacements. Who do you generally make your money off of? in the end, EVE is only about pvp, nothing else. Everything that is not pvp related eventually is used in PVP or for PVP in one form or another. Its the isk sink that provide balance to all the mineral, item and isk faucets that float around the game.

PvP is not an ISK sink, infact it produces ISK via insurance. Its an item sink.
Your technically correct. However the end effect is still Isk value is lost so to call it an Isk sink is only to gloss over the specific connections back to the isk, not to misrepresent what is actually occurring.
Pilots see the loss of a ship and items AS an isk sink because value (as determined by isk) was lost to the player by either destruction or transfer of items of value.

Those parasitic miners are the woes of every corp.The apex are so called mining corps wich try to turn everything they see into a hulk.
Thousands of inocent asteroids, geting chewed slowly to death by those evil entities and their head demon Chribba, are crying each day unoticed in their pain.
The only people who try to fight this madness are some noble pirates and the charity can flipper society.
IGS is that way --> http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=channel&channelID=3520

I was merely returning humor with humor.
sometimes I fail in that regard.
