I was talking to some people who said high end players can earn 500m isk/day ratting. Do you guys know how a carrier capable of that would be setup? |

500mil? not hard, you can make that a day missioning if you really want to. or you can run incursions for 4 hours. or like, 10min of site running in C5-6 WHs. |

it all depends on where you fly. if you have secure access to sov null. you can do belt rating and site running solo in a DPS fit carrier. or you could hunt sleepers in C3 or above WHs although you cant solo C5s without a risk of dying. and im scarred of doing C6s. once i escaped with only 20% hull left
the large thing here is that you can do most of this solo or in small gang with a 1.5 bill fit battlship |

Usually with sentry drones. And its not "ratting" as that term is used for shooting stuff in asteroid belts, carriers are used in anomalies, these are the Hubs and Havens and Sanctums you can find using ship built in scanner thingy.
As far as 500 m / d goes its doable depending on your playtime. Farming anoms for about 5 hours should do the trick. It's just that its even more mind numbingly boring than missions as there is no variation at all. You just do the same thing over and over and over again which is the most suitable in your region for your setup.
isk/ h wise there is no difference really if you are farming them in a pirate battleship / marauder or carrier. If you are still thinking about training carrier go gallente, they are usually considered best carrier for pve. Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... *THWONK!* GOT the bastard. |

500 a day is kind of a low goal if you want to get right to it. For two worth while T2 BS/BC pilots 100/hr isn't very hard to do in f-hubs.
500 in 23 hr is only a smidge over 21m/hr. And for 8hr it only jumps to 62.5m/hr. Those can be easily reached with "mining alt(s)" or running low/nul sub cap anoms.
If you are somewhere that using a carrier is worth while ask your alliance for the cap systems and fits. Otherwise the odds are on you being an alod candidate. |

I've seen similar fits going around in Havens in Nullsec and cleaning them in about 12 minutes. Earning something around 30-35m per tick. That's around 100m/hour. So if you play quite a lot, 500m/day is definately doable.
For specifics, with "All L5", 1339 DPS, permarunning Cap Repper, even though it's actually not useful. You activate the repper like once every 5 minutes if the rats even get to scratch your armor. Both Drone control range and Sentry optimal is 104km.
Warp to 70km of any given Hub/Haven, launch drones (set on aggressive), go grab a coffee or something. |

Just as a point of comparison:
Serpentis Forsaken Hub
T2 Fit Naga
Average 30 million per bounty tick 3 ticks per hour
500 / 90 = ~5.6 hours playtime to get 500 mil.
T2 Fit Dominix
Average 28 Million per bounty tick 3 ticks per hour
500 / 84 ~ 6 hours to get 500 mill
Performance is a bit less than this in other regions due to Rat Resists. The point being, dont risk getting your corp/alliance pissed at you because you are an idiot ratting with a carrier and you have to call everyone to action because you got tackled.
In my opinion better options exist with T2 fit battleships (or even naga in the case of serpentis)
I think this is gonna be even more obvious after the next expansion when cruise missles are going to get the ridiculous %30 buff.

So for those with no sarcasm/irony : Of course, watch an eye on Local / intel channels and get the **** out if anything comes as near as next door from where you rat.
And if you don't do that, you're a clueless idiot. |

I'm actually preparing a Cruise Golem for Angel hub/havens
On test server with T1M4 launchers and DG i pulled around ~20m/tick in a Haven Once it gets Fury's i should get around 25-30m as well |

Just out of curiosity, I was under the impression that the best way to rat with a carrier was to assign fighters to a tank that goes to the sites. The carrier then sits in a safe/POS/Station for quick safe up.
Have things changed? Seems crazy to PVE solo in a carrier. Well, unless you have the iskies. |

Just curious, have not been out in null in awhile, but last time I was out there the ABC were ok (maybe this is asperpentis only thing), but their weak tank was a pain on anomolies, alos don't you have problems on any one that has cruisers and smaller, unless you are leaving those behind, but then sites do not restart? It would seem that 30+ mil is the absolute optimal and any variance could cost you time.
The carrier has more DPS and can apply near full amount to its max range, it also can flip to smaller drones to clear the trash.
Also have never undertood the obssession over a carrier kill, a faction fit pirate BS is much pricer and no insurance, the BS is more agile obviously. |

Dual boxing Naga's can make 160-200mill ISK/hour total. That's going to go down after the patch though. |

any T2 sentry carrier with 3 drone damage mods in the low, 2x omni's in the mids and 2 x drone links in the high. Put 2 sebo's in the mids to make targeting quicker. I used to use a chimera for this. 13 sentries will apply damage far better than fighters or even a bs flirting about. Its faster that using a mach in angel space as the mach needs to move around, its not affected by TD in amarr space.

For anyone who lived in Nullsec long enough, it's a known fact that Nullsec is actually a LOT safer than empire, be it high/low sec. And it's gonna be even worse in Odyssey with the whole "Trade tags for sec status".
Empire's actually gonna become the most dangerous place in New Eden (But it's kind of intended anyway, as an incentive to drive people away from Empire into Low/Null sec) |

I'd say that sov null sec is quite a bit more safe than NPC null sec and WH space.
I'd say risk looks like this (greatest to least): FW Low Sec Open WH Space (eg, you aren't collapsing every incoming and are rolling for targets) NPC Null Sec Non-FW Low Sec Buttoned WH Space (you are collapsing every incoming and not using your static) High Sec Sov Null Sec
As such, I've had no problems missioning in a carrier in FW low sec and a marauder in NPC null sec and open WH space.

I'm not really a big fan of ratting but when I do it I either do it in nullsec with a pair of Naga's (dual boxing). Or in a wormhole with a pair of tengus
In nullsec, it pays about 45-50mil ticks (a tick is 20 min), which is 135-150 mil per hour before salvaging, which is another almost 100 mil per hour if you dual box noctis'. (this is only really useful if you have two screens).
If you're lucky one of the sites will also "escalate" which means you get a bookmark to a complex, which can pay big paydays. The complexes that result from teh anomolies I run are 9/10 which are easy to solo if you have the right ships and I've had them pay out as much as 3 bil, but usually only about 1bil. That's for about 90 min of work, all in. You don't get escallations every day though so it's really the icing on the cake but not the cake.
The point being that making 500mil in a day ratting is perfectly feasible but you need to focus on ratting and it will take you several hours.
In the wormhole it really depends on what you're doing but I think you can make more isk per hour killing sleepers than rats in nullsec. It takes more setting up though because you need to scan the exits and put scouts on them so you don't get ganked. So in the WH I'm usually quad boxing but 2 of them will be cloaked near exits. The up side of the WH if yuo're set up for it is that you can easily make 150 per hour in a C3. At least I can, but I have the impression that with more practice I could push that number up to about 200.
So yeah. You don't need anything too amazing to make a huge buttload of isk from ratting. All it takes is time and the tolerance to do the same thing over and over and over and over again.

That is actually a bad day.
Carrier ratting means running sites, and you are looking for escalations, if you get a couple people with carriers and blast through Forlon Hubs you can get about 20-22 a tick on bounties, so 500mil is a bout 6 hours.
Where you make the money is 8/10s and 10/10s which are hit or miss, you'll get streaks where you do two or three 10/10s whcih are gated and require spider tanking BSs or BSs and logi, no caps.....and get nothing, then you run a couple 8/10s and get three x-type drops a pop....which is $$$
Even then I used to pull around the same rate dual boxing with a mach and logi alt

Running level 5s with a carrier is fun, not because of the missions but because of all of the cat and mouse, contant interuptions, flying in alts to kill tacklers and whatnot.
Not something I would try without insurance though, I've had a LOT of close calls that way.

First: ISK/day is a stupid measure.
You need to use something like isk/hour.
Second: People getting so anal about carrier ratting. Just the old eve adagio: fly what you can afford to lose. And if people fly carriers, that's what they're going to lose. Deal with it. Just don't lose it too often.

Again, they're not gonna lose anything if they use them properly. In a Blue Sov Nullsec area, with active intel channels and an eye on Local, I'll say it again : if you lose your carrier, you're an idiot. If you have neither of those, just don't rat in a carrier  |

Awoxing, or help from inside spies. You don't have to be idiot and can do everything right and still lose a carrier.

You have to be really slow on the draw to lose ratting carrier. Anything is possible of course, but you shouldn't have a carrier alone in a system anyway.
