Rina Shanu Peace Loving Criminals	Posted - 2006.09.04 17:14:00 - [31] Originally by: Jim McGregor Originally by: Majin82 I was attacked by a pirate yesterday in low sec. He ransomed me and I said I would pay. My real reason for paying was the fact that 1 warp behind me were my 3 BS flying friends. So as I took my time to transfer the ISK to him, claiming I made a mistake and didn't mean to give him 10k when he asked for 10mil, my friends entered the system. I warp scramed him and he started to fire, just then my friends showed up and we toasted him very quickly. The Lesson is, being a Pirate can make you ISK, but you take the risk, sometimes it doesn't pay off. I give people 30 seconds to transfer the ransom. I dont have this problem. Correct course of action. RECRUITMENT
kublai	Posted - 2006.09.04 19:14:00 - [32] Last guy who pulled that on me got podded, ask for the ransom when they're in hull, and if that sucker tries to rep you beat him right back down there again because if something warp's in that little cnut is getting toasted.
Mortal Wombat State War Academy	Posted - 2006.09.04 22:31:00 - [33] In the last 2 weeks i have made about 1.3 bil isk from loot sales and ransoms and have lost 3 interdictors and a transport. Probably about 1 bil isk profit after replacing losses. It can be done, and it is not that hard. p.s. Thanks chump pact for the 500 mil :)
Evil Pookie BURN EDEN	Posted - 2006.09.04 22:32:00 - [34] Damn alt is staging a coupe.... Time to beat him with the big stick again....
SupaFlyTNT Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.04 23:21:00 - [35] Originally by: hUssmann Originally by: Shandling Sadly when they agree to a ransom I figure there's something worth ransoming on the ship so I wish I didn't ransom. Lol QFT, i ransomed a raven for 50m, as he was approaching the gate he linked his mid-slots in local. Gist b-type Large shield booster Gist Shield amp 3x Invul II's Gist b-type 100mn Afterburner I cried. oh man I remember that one Funniest convo on vent I have ever heard followed that little mishap Pirating can be very lucrative. A couple of decent drops can keep you in ships for a few weeks and as long as you are out there blowing stuff up, thats all that matters

Why the hell would some 1 sit there and open their assets screen, choose the station, then scroll all the way through and manually pick out every item that he wanted to...only made even more time consuming if the items werent all at the same station
Wrayeth Omerta Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.05 02:06:00 - [37] You can definitely link fitted modules. Just drag them from your center console to the chat and select the "show info" option in the menu that pops up. -Wrayeth "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"
Ms Muneca AYDS	Posted - 2006.09.05 04:21:00 - [38] Edited by: Ms Muneca on 05/09/2006 04:21:35 To give an idea of how isk is made... I am a reforming pirate (aka ex), and while ratting to raise my sec rating the past 2 days i've had two intys and an AF attack me (and lose :D), all fitted with T2 gear. Depending on what gets destoryed and what survives, I made an avg of 6mill off each ship (got more from the AF bc of his tech2 drones that were left for me to scoop). However, unfortunately, this is the most i've made in two days. Hell, even when I was pirating and looking for fights I didn't do this good. I guess the lesson to be learned is sit in a belt ratting looking helpless instead of trying to scan others down. ----------- ----------- -----------

murder one Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2006.09.05 12:25:00 - [43] Personally, I just shoot ppl. The ISK comes as a sidenote to shooting ppl. Because I said so...
tiller Beer and Kebabs Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2006.09.05 12:59:00 - [44] Most isk I ever had was got from haulers. Targeting instajumping t2 transports made VERY good money, though the wait between targets was mind numbing. (I remember taking over 2bill isk in a wkend from haulers alone, not to mention the paying customers) You need to work solo to make isk from blowing up players... it's just not worth sharing most of the time if in a gang. With a little care it can be done though... the trick is not to keep losing ships, or at least get a very good kill ratio (100/1 should be seen as a min, if you can't achieve it you will lose isk most likely) Click me for Pirate Coalition Website of Gankage

I only give 15 seconds to pay. No longer ransom shield tanked ships as 99% of them either have stabbs or ECM and will get away unless you bump and grind in an all out gank Originally by: tiller Most isk I ever had was got from haulers.

Portios Smith Gallente Sanguine Legion	Posted - 2006.09.05 18:23:00 - [46] ^^^^^^^^^ My alt, me think she is going to the recycle bin for this Under construction
Shamis Orzoz SniggWaffe	Posted - 2006.09.05 18:47:00 - [47] Most pirates use alts to make isk. The only forms of piracy which are really profitable are empire sniping or deep space hunting. In order turn a profit you must not lose expensive gear, this requires you to run away from risky fights. Most pirates enjoy risky fights and as a result they lose ships, and lose their profits. shamis

I make enough to live on when pirating, and by "to live on" I mean fitting out the ship of my choice with T2 and good named T1 if and when required. I rarely fit faction, so that isn't an issue for me. The surplus ISK that I do have is made by an alt, and just adds as a buffer in case I have a run of bad luck. BACKSTORY AND FAN FICTION

Benglada Finite Auxiliary	Posted - 2006.09.05 22:43:00 - [51] Good pirates make quite a bit of isk (S****dly, FZN, Veto,Muffins, old BNC and cosmic fusion) Made a killing, sadly a lot of pirates have production alts.. My alt flys a vagabond --------------------------- Originally by:** Arkanor 0.0 is the Final Frontier. Bring money and friends.
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2006.09.06 02:26:00 - [52] Apparenlty most of it comes from podding themselves. I approve of this message.
