Is it just me or did eris just admit to being a pirate?

Oh Eris my dear the qeen of the pink....Yeah baby!!!!!!!
Anywhoo, I kill to make money if the opertunity presents itself for a ransom yes but usally the same ol song and dance so it's, kill, kill and loot the stuff from your dead ship.
Piracy or ganking whatever ya want to call it has its peaks and valleys, I usally run on a very slim wallet becouse I'm a noob  
For me... Group therapy is a 30 pack of BEER!!
Then all of the voices are satisfied. |

Popping a Taranis with 7 BPO's worth a bill each is fairly profitable for a decent 30min camp.

Using ALts for small-time piracy is INSANE LAME !!!
Use your real char .. PLAY the game !

*if you cant make it happen, then dont do piracy.
ALts are just as lame a fake ID's !

Damn straight.
I've made a living out of piracy for a long time now. Building trust with the community and your customers for their release when they pay is the hardest part.
I can't remember the last time i had a ransom offer refused

Dont hate the player : Hate the game 
My view of the game:
hide behind several charecters and alts is just like cheating if you cant figure out the game.
Personally I think its a shame you can have 3 chars per account. WHY ? Play x3 roles when you only can train 1 of em.
Its a ROLE game !!!
On the package it doesnt say " ROLES Game " 
unless they made a typing error when they printed it
PLAY THE GAME !
just enjoy it ! |

So, what do you do about local ruining your chances of piracy where as people catch on they just insta dock as soon as you enter local.
Unless there is a player monoploy in the north that doesn't watch local like the south does. Then I need to maybe move

If I take time to play eve, I hunt alone. Why share the loot with sum swashbuckler if most of 'em are just additional weight anyway. You can play eve solo.

Piracy is very much a waiting game, i.e. waiting for your next payday (unless you're independently wealthy or have a 2nd 'bear account).
Piracy is cyclic: you're broke, you hit a score, you spend like a drunken sailor, you're broke again, rinse and repeat.

Targeted piracy can pay extremely well, ship scanning people beforehand and setting up elaborate ambushes/wars/hijackings can prove both hilarious and worth billions.

I always wondered about gate camp. How do you gate camp when you are alone? Just tank it with enough guns to kill a frig/indy only?
Don't the sentry guns shoot for 150dmg/sec or more? |

I have to say that in my ratting days, the most money was made two ways.
1. Barge go Boom. Big. Yellow. Bullseye.
2. Don't ransom an indie for ISK, if you're lucky enough to get one that doesn't have enough WCS. Don't scrap him, either. SURE, you might get a decent chunk from those yummy expanders, but the most money I ever made (enough to put my corp I used to run all from their frigs to cruisers and BCs, plus kit them with the gear) was by demanding someone drop their cargo or be destroyed. It was kind of an experiment, but the guy was from a nubbish corp that had been around only slightly longer than he had. As it turns out, he was hauling part of their corp hangar, but was more worried about his personal losses than the corps loss.....
He jettisoned the cargo, though he'd be cute and shoot it out of the sky with his little railgun, but his shot missed. My missiles at point blank range didn't. Didn't have the skills for WCS, so I took out his intie for his insolence in one salvo and left him to float in the pod. A total of 50mil was made for the corp off the jettison can, and I kept the 8mil in cargo expanders from the wreckage as my personal bonus.
Normally I wouldn't kill after a ransom, but that guy asked for it.

I think you guys are misreading her. It looks like she's saying that many people use second accounts/alts, but she herself doesn't, instead flying more replacable ships and not taking stupid risks. She just put in a comma where she needed a period.

Well u dont make much money from ransoming, unless its a hac or your lucky to get a vauleble ship which is very rare, you're lucky to get 5-10 mil from a mining bs as they know they are 100% insured.
Gate ganking is where the moneys at but its boring and leaves a load of **** that needs to be hauled and sold
