can fly everything sub cap gallente and can fly tech 2 minmatar up to cruisers.
curious what excatly can i do to get some isk that isnt too boring,
did the incursion thing awhile back but it seems its a dying breed now, did the 0.0 on board scan grind but that isnt a option currently for me.
i heard of exploration but have no idea what or how excatly to get into that.
then there is also, missions but those seem boring? and im not sure how to jump straight to 4s where the real money of missions are.
then theres faction Ware fare which i would love info on as well with exploration
basically,, if any one can inform me and update me on old and new ways? |

he said he didnt want to do incursions.
Exploration in null can be extremely profitable as most of the deadspace mods come out of those sites.
I mean you could even try a non-combat method to make money if you wanted a complete change.. |

All PVE in eve is worst in industry. It's a (sometimes) necessary evil. You have the options of a) accepting this and grind away with an activity you don't hate as much as the others b) Get creative and think outside of spoon-fed pve activities. Scamming in various forms, providing services (ingame/out of game). c) Anything that applies to market/production d) buy plex'es.
As a gallente blaster char it will be hard for you to find a activity as profitable as running anomalies from any of the spoon-fed activities, including plex'ing. |

i dont know of any gallente ship capable of soloing c3s since they're almost all geared towards active armour tanking.
possibly a passive shield fit hyperion?
Faction warfare is supposed to pay out quite well with the LPs but I don't have any experience with that i'm afraid. |

FW is easy isk if you want to plex grind. You can make billions from the LP gained in this. It is however boring as hell!
However if you are just wanting to support a pvp habit that you have gained (i know the feeling) then FW is probably the easiest way to do this tbh. A few mins plexing a session can see you easily stocked with faction frigs/cruisers to use in blapping the opponents (I don't have enemies in eve - it is just a game after all.) or you can quite easily provide enough isk to support a more expensive T2 pvp habit if you want.
Low sec explo can be quite good isk as a decent site can real in 500M+ isk and only takes about 30-40 mins to run in a good fit ship. But like all explo it is a random gamble that some times pays off big other you get squat.
That is the Way, the Tao.
Balance is everything. |

what would i need to do these scans
and what skills?
also what gallente ships could i use to run the low sec ones? think there called DEDS?
thinking of activating a alt to do just FW farming for my pvp and possible plexing needs,
what difficulty plex would i atleast i need to see profits, some people say novice and easy or w/e are good enough in frigs to make some isk |

An alt in any militia can make lots of isk plex grinding minors/smalls.
As for scanning look at some of the posts here in Missions & Complexes for exploration there are some good guides there.
Gallente ships are fine for exploration. I used to run high sec site in an ishkur or enyo and I still run low sec site in my vexor or myrm...might even give the brutix a go since the rebalance.
That is the Way, the Tao.

Your Information on Incursions might be a little outdated, I make about 500 mil in 4 hours (or less sometimes) every time I fleet up for an Incursion, The main roadblock to those numbers is skills, T2 Guns (Missle wont hunt) Ship,Best ship you can fly (Pirate Prefered) and the ability to play well with others (Not a easy thing to find in EVE).

i got a alt who can fly a full tech 2d legion.
i can fly nice shinies, on here for gallente as well and pretty dam near a mach if i really wanted to.
what im most worried about incursions is, are they still inactive? can i log on and hope to find a fleet in a legion?
also are you talking about VGS ?
or would i be standing waiting is a long long line....
also towards exploration ill have a look and i guesse ill get my alt up runing the small plexes for the mean while,
thanks for the help guys |

In my expeirience T3's are not as reliable as BS's in creating the type and range of damage needed in a fleet. Not that they dont still get used.
Incursions are all about picking the right group to fly with, there are FC's in almost every time zone, getting in with a group that flies when your on will make getting into fleets easier.
And as far as what we run: I start with a VG fleet when we get to 20 members we move to Assaults, and at 35 to 40 we do HQ's. when the numbers fall we iether work our way back down to VG's or call it a day.

Shield Myrm can do it, neuts are kinda of a joke anyway in a C3. |

not a fan of myrms in wormholes. I tried it before and it's just really hard to apply damage since they switch to drones very quickly so you have to constantly recall and you haven't got much for guns. |

I'm currently doing low sec exploration (mostly rad/mags), and depending on how much i do, maybe 300-500mil per month. I use some of the more easy bpc to produce T2 rigs, RNG per month. I also just started low sec 5 planet PI (waiting on 1 skill) and that ''should'' generate a further 500+mil per month minimum. It's realy low income, but it's more of a hobby than ''get rich''.
The combat sites 4-5/10 are too risky or few and far between you'll find them in a place where you can run them with-ought atracting attention. It may be where the real isk is at, but it's also where you are likely to die or warp out empty handed.
Eventualy the frustration of being chased from sites will make you take more and more risk. Theirs a player who does run a lot of those combat sites (no names mentioned ;p) but he told me last night he's lost about 1bil worth of ships in the last 10 days.
I'd only full time those low sec ded's if i had an alt who can jam. It will at-least mean you can afford more time to try and blitz for the loot if somebody starts to look for you.

lowsec exploration can be quite profitable, although you'll have days where you scan everything and can't catch a break (only good site is in a FW home system or soemthing). However you have easy access to empire and its easy to hit the pause button. You can ninja-rat or ninja-explore in nullsec, but its a pretty big commitment, requires a plan, and the patience to use WH's to get around. It also kind of works best with an alt. There's also WH daytripping, which i hear is still quite lucrative.
If you like missions you can try some of the epic arcs, getting high standings towards empire factions is always nice, the payouts rewards are mostly good, but its still doing missions, and you may have to grind some standing with a particular npc corp to start anyway. The pirate epic arc missions are supposedly doable with t2 frigates and take you out to null, so could be fun.
FW is definitely an option that lets you switch modes from money making to pvping relatively easily.
PI can be a good income source wherever you go, however you kind of need to be based in one area for at least a few weeks to make it worth it. The nice thing about PI though is that you can design your planets so managing them fits your playtime. It can take as much or as little effort as you want to put in. Spreadsheets do help here for tracking basic volume calculations and taxes. There's also a bit of a learning curve before you get into a rhythm that keeps them running with minimal management.

alright so my 2 options are either,
FACTION
or Wormholes it seems.
wormholes i cant do much because, of the fact most people say gallente cant solo pve.
Faction i could have a alt just run in frigs/cruisers and still make profit it seems. |

You can solo C3's and below in a Proteus. You just have to be very careful about which sites you do in the C3's. I used to fly a blaster fit proteus, while it was basically gank bait because of the dead space fittings you need to actually make it work. But it does work.
If it is something you might be interested in, this is the battleclinic fit I based mine off of. Wormhole Proteus
Mine was not quite as expensive, but around 1.2 - 1.4 bil. Was a lot of fun, expecially the looks on peoples faces when they saw it in action.
Not for the faint of heart, because people will line up to gank you if you are not paying attention. Or even if you are. |

How to know if you're gank bait in a wormhole
1. Are you flying a ship or pod of any description?
If you answered yes to the above question, you are gank bait in a wormhole. I kid you not, I have watched someone probe down a shuttle in a wormhole just to blow it up. |

There are no ships in EVE that can profitably solo C3s (Drake and Tengu pilots are just better accustomed to cruiser-level dps and don't realize how slow they are)
Gallente has the best ships to duo them, RR Domis.
I think you need to forget this idea about making good ISK (consistent +100-200mil/hr) solo PVE in this game, find a friend or join a corp and do stuff with your mates.

Oh I know I've spent hours doing the same thing. My only point was you are going to draw more quality ganks because of what you are flying. In my experiance people will bring a whole lot more to kill a T3 than a Drake is all I'm saying. |
