Yes, I made it in 1.0 space.
Yes, I got it from selling Ore that wasn't mine.
Yes, I was called all sorts of names after destroying what was left in the unsecure container.
And yes, I can see a very large amount of trouble smacking me in the face if I ever step into 0.4 or below space.
But damn, I'm so proud of my new and improved wallet.
*Sniff*
So how did _you_ make your first million ISK?

God, I remember when I first got my Bantam and thought it was THE powerhouse 
Then I got to mining arkonor with a friend in Aikantoh and used to happily lose them while ninja-mining.

Well, not really. I just made 500,000ISK in fifteen minutes. 
Thanks to a couple of people pointing out my utter stupidity, I've just realised that Industrial ships (Armed with a Medium Energy turret and basic cargo expanders) are far better at Ore Stealing/can destruction than a Frigate ever could be.
I'm just looking for a chance to lower my security rating so people can put bounties on me, if the feel so inclined.
Either way, things are looking up for me.

Hahaha, just wait until they add ownership to cans and you cant just steal the ore anymore.
Btw, when did you start playing this game?

<Muaddid> Q: When will sentry gun and station and similar construction pods be introduced on the market?
<Hellmar> we have various player owned entities already implemented. Sentry guns, power/shield generators, field repair mini-stations, mobile refineries. We are still working out the last tidbits of how they can be over taken, what is the penalty of having a sentry gun kill a n00b etc. and we have been a bit busy with plugging the holes that people have found.I would say that you'd start to see these items on the market in about 2-3 weeks, very expensive to begin with |

Ownership won't/doesn't (I've seen cans with their owners name on already...they weren't the unsecure cans, funnily enough) apply to unsecure cans.
If you're going to leave them in the middle of nowhere, or use them when you're swimming in wealth, then you're an open target as far as I'm concerned.
Been playing for about three, maybe four, months now. Never really cared about money until now, I lived a cheap life but am starting to beef things up a little.

Ah, you might want to beef up that life of yours then.
Anyway, what I meant by ownership is that eventually CCP plans on making it so that if you arent in their gang/corp and steal their ore, they get to fire on you with no CONCORD problems.

I usually just mine till I have enough to fill my hauler and then pick up. I never got robbed by you ore thives, but if I did get robbed one time or so.. who cares, cause I'd just think of all the successful ore hauls I've had. Believe me, it's been enough, where it wouldn't even matter... Enjoy your thieving, ya rat... =)

i made over 2 million, maybe a bit more on my first day in eve, mining omber in noob system, then Arknonor in Mahti.
Then i started building mining lasers.. then frigates... etc etc and on. Then idiots messed the retailing side of things up so i quit doing that, and we went back to mining bist again, and rat farming.

Wow, not much money in ore stealing I take it then. No offence of course. I have _alot_ of money but i'm telling you the urge to Ebay it all and "start over" is very strong.
I made my first million hunting NPCs in a Merlin. Never mined at the beginning, started out hunting Arrogators in my Ibis.
Edit: Ah, I see you were stealing ore in a frigate... explains things.
Your 425mm Prototype I Gauss Gun perfectly strikes some nublar, wrecking for 1155.0 damage. |

I missed Ark mining in Empire space by a few days... 
It was ages until I actually a million of my own as it all went into the corp, but all of my early cash was made killing Angels. I just don't have the patience to mine...
Now I just sell implants to people who have too much money by far!

I made my first million off the over-inflated elite drone market back before harvesters worked. That, and the next 10+ million came from those little guys.

I was too late for ninja-mining arkonor, so I made my first million killing serpentis in 0.2, on my merlin.
Soon afterwards, I was flying my first cruiser, a blackbird.

Tips for fellow Concord Waste Recovery Team members!
1, Create an amarr alt, 18 hours training will get you a bestower, slap on 4 basic expanders and 1 giant secure can and you can carry 7600 cargo.
2, Use your map, filter for number of pilots in space and head for the bright red dots.
3, Target systems with lots of people in local but only a few belts (unless working in teams)
4, Find some recovery buddies to work with, the faster you can recover the waste, less ore for the carebears. It will also speed up the whole belt sweeping process. Leaving more time to visit other systems and recover more waste.
5, Make a "safe" bookmark in the popular carebear systems. Safe meaning a bookmark not close to any planets, belts, stations, moons, suns. This way when you find the can with 200k scordite waiting to be salvaged, you can dump it all at your "safe" bookmark to save time docking. Using this method you can easily haul 3 times as fast as the carebear, more ore for you, less for the carebear. Once you have finished your sweep of all belts in the system you can then haul from the "safe" bookmark to a station with little hassel.

6, Keep an eye on local, not only is it funny hearing all the smack talk after a sucessful recovery mission, but you will also get warning of any incomming hostile action.
7, When approaching a potential recovery item if hostile action is looking likly (happens rarely) Position your approach so that directly oppersite you (other side of recovery item) is something to warp to. This will enable a quick warp if needed, afteral bessy's dont turn too quick. As soon as the first shot is fired, warp to that point and warp back to the belt. If your quick you will get back in time to see a carebear ship being blown away. Also if you have a turret fitted you may even get a carebear corpse to recover!!!
8, Most carebears wont open fire until you have cleaned them out. A full load of recovered ore will easily pay for a replacement bessy so dont be too worried about loosing your ship. Personally i like watching carebears get taken down by our Concord workmates so often sacrifice my disposable ship for this reason alone.
9, Have a trader alt for shifting the huge amounts of refined minerals you refine/recover. Techell wont buy of known members of Concord's Waste Recovery Team. However, they do buy of your alt and pay pretty good prices.

10, You can make much more isk out of carebears than true noobie friagte miners. Try to limit your recovery opps to cruiser/bs miners, give the poor frigate guys a break. They have a hard enough time finding the roids as it is.
11, Get to know your fellow Concord Waste Recovery Team members. Only together can we rid noobie space of the carebear menice.
12, Patience will pay off, if your having a dry spell, do somethign else for a hour or so. Best recovery time during the week seems to be after 5pm (GMT)
13, Last and most importantly have fun and never get bored sensless mining rocks again.
Just a few basics ive picked up during my first few weeks of waste recovery. Hope they help any budding Concord Waste Recovery Team wannabes out there

Originally by: cashman
It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this.
It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.

Simple:
He's lying. I'm not aware of any ore buyers that are paying the isk necessary per unit of ore to total up to a million off 1.0 ore.
Hell you'd have to do it with some of the high end ores, which you can't afk mine unless you really work at it.

I haven't actually had 1 mill in my wallet all at once yet - keep spending it on new skills and the like, but I reckon I've made about 4 or 5 so far mostly killing npc rats and recycling the loot. The only mining I do is for corp mineral needs for our ship production.
Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure? |
