I'm sure this has been asked before but I would appreciate the guidance :) I am looking to get into low sec pvp and/or pirating. I have more than one account and make my isk running L4's but I have been hesitant to make the jump and being able to make enough isk to fund a pirating habit. Whats the best way to do this?
thanks

If you have a level 4 mission runner you really really should be able to fund your pvp with it.
In terms of time investment you may want to consider station trading.
Ofcourse you will also recover a proportion of you losses through kills and some pirates can fund their criminal activity through this.

You can join a low-sec pirate corp and gank **** all day long while only flying relatively cheap bc's. If you're smart about it and fly with competent pilots, you probably won't get rich, but won't lose money on it.

Let's get it straight, ok? 1. You don't make ISK as a new pirate. 2. You don't make ISK as an experienced pirate either. 3. You don't make ISK as a veteran pirate. 4. Pirates don't make ISK pirating.

I would suggest you try low sec ratting first
Plenty of other pirates will come to you to play and you will make enough isk off the rats to fund the play.
Seems Win / Win to me..

Then you probably suck at pirating.

I made money on a alt I trained for 5h back in the day. Gave that character 3mil which bought and outfitted 5-10 rifters and I pirated to my hearts content. And I never had to send it more money to supplement pirating.
You be surprise what you can do with a little motivation and quick thinking even in the cheapest fitted rifter you can do.
And I occasionly made money on other pilots hard work, if I saw someone warp and scrammed I used to open a chat with them and demand isk for a ransom or they will be popped and podded. Got them to pay me dispite the fact I was just passing through and had nothing to do with it. Most of the time I was already warping out to avoid being next when this went on.
By no means did I make any large amounts of isk, but I will say this I more than supplemented myself with an endless supply of ships/ammo/fittings and fun.

Outside of the scout every system 2 jumps around your camp and run if a gang 1/5 of your size shows up type corps, making a solid amount of ISK from pirating is incredibly difficult
...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |

So i'm guessing you don't really get the difference between PvP and pirating.

Sl33py, most of these guys don't really know what they are talking about.
I recoup all my isk from piracy without alts and that crap. Contact me in game via mail for more info. -------------------------------------------------

The risk Vs Reward for pirating is very subjective. Player loot doesn't pay for ships, most industrials are empty, and The good loot never drops. If you like getting into fights WHILE pirating, odds are you'll lose more than you gain, but you'll have more fun.

Dear lowly peasant I usually do not extend advice so make note of what I am sharing with you.
Be a gentleman, dishonor ransoms. Pocket the cash and tears for monocles and fapping.

Stop training your lvl 4 alt.....start training another fresh char.......train it for something people want.......sell for billions......then repeat.......if a dash of intelect is used....you may even be able to pirate without even paying for the game.
But....this is c&p.......so insert some random witty insult.....when ive finished my coffee....ill try to add my own. EDIT: this is an alt |

I'm actually up quite a lot ISK-wise this year. I do no PVE activities whatsoever (have even slacked off on scamming), in fact with the exception of ratting a bit to fund my redeemer mid last year I've not done any PVE since I made this character on any characters. No GTCing either, so eh.
A fair amount of it is gate camping / mission busting, but I do solo roam a fair bit too. So I'm more than willing to say its possible to make a profit pirating.

If you live to turn carebear blood and tears into isk, then yes you can absolutely make isk through piracy, even as a noob. The biggest thing is that you have to be *smart* to do so. Most EVE players are not smart, not even close. Based of years of observation I imagine that they can scarcely dress themselves or wipe their own ***.
I recently had a couple noobs in frigs in my gang for a few hours of lowsec piracy. We only killed 2 ships(could have ransomed 1, but he had the biggest joke of a tank ever and instadied just from the sight of me), both were faction fit and the noobs got a cut of the faction loot!
Just flying solo I got some ransoms and kills recently as well...
That being said, piracy is much less profitable than before due to:
1. Rig changes which were a HUGE nerf to ransoms. Rigs are nearly worthless and now add little to the value of a ship. Used to be able to get 60m+ for a purger drake just based on the cost of the rigs. The rigs were expensive and not at all insurable. Now rigs are cheap and disposable. Now you are lucky to get 20m for that same purger drake for example. 2. Value of T2 loot is next to nothing. If you kill a ship that is just t2 fit there isn't much profit there. 3. Not all that many targets around low sec anymore due to FW and other changes.
And of course because every single change they have made to EVE in the past 5 years has had the express purpose of making combat less likely to ever occur.
It's not a terrible idea to have supplemental income as a pirate, but is not necessary and will reduce the amount of isk you ever make through actual piracy.
