Can anyone tell me the best way to make some ISK for someone starting out? Eventually, I would like to be flying battleships and have all the neat equipment to go with them. I've never ran any missions yet. I have fairly low mining skills. So far, I've mainly been killing NPCs in .3 space with a Rifter; but I cannot kill all NPCs I'm running into and I'm not making any money doing so.
I have a guild in 0.0 that kill NPCs, but my time restraints don't allow me to go very often. Would it be good to start building up my mining skills, running NPCs or ? Can someone please give me some suggestions?

Thanks.
Is running missions the way to get the faction equipment?

With the NPE it's a lot easier for a new player to start making decent amounts of ISK from their first day.
If you went for a half decent character with industry direction you'd start with Mining V, which means out of the box you can mine a decent amount.
I'd say with lowish skills mining will be your best bet for safe quick ISK. ___________________

If your a combat oriented pilot my advice is to skip mining. Its not that the money is bad, but it takes the right personality to enjoy it. Missions probably dont pay as well as ratting if you figure in the better loot ratting gives, but its lower risk, you get standing, and you can stay in high sec for the most part if you dont feel like messing with pvp on a give day. Also, the only way to get to high level missions is to do low level mission, and high level mission can get yo things like implants and faction ships as loyalty point rewards. If you do stick with missions, get the skills Social, Negatiation, and Connections trained to at least 3 asap. They will very quickly get you to level 2 missions, which pay better and will get you into some cruiser combat, the next step toward the battleship you want to be in.

I'd also reccomend going with missions, as long as you prepare there low risk, don't all require large amount of times, and once you get to levels 3s/4s can be more profitable then low-sec ratting (level 4s can be about the same as 0.0 ratting - or so i'm told). In a BS running levels 4s its pretty easy to make 10mill an idea - which should be enough for most basic purposes.

I also went for the missions. If you stay loyal to 1 agent and raise his quality through standings and skills, in one day with this agent you can start getting 250k-600k a mission (including loot sales and bounty) from a 1 level agent.

Im new, less than a month, but I've been making awesome money from level 1 agents out in 0.1 sec. Its a little more risky, but I already can make 200-500k per mission.

hehe your talking about starting out then about battleships and faction equipment in the same thread.
dont rush into battleships they take a long time to fly properly.
take your time with ships. fly frigates first, train up decent skills for them, learn how to fly them then move up to cruisers. do the same for cruisers. then the next step now is battlecruisers.
battlecruisers are much better than they were and seem likely to be the most used ships soon, all round more useful than battleships, cheaper, and easier to fly.
so learn the others first and enjoy them.
i can fly most ships now (after 3 years) but still find cruisers are the most fun to fly.
oh and faction equipment is mega expansive for the good stuff. i bought 1 faction item recently that cost more than 3 battleships, and i need two of them :/
use t2 equipment first thats pretty good stuff.
Before complaining about any ship try flying Minmatar |

Faction gear drops from belt rats. If you have 0.0 access your best bet is to upgrade to a cruiser and start killing the higher value NPCs out there and hope you get lucky. It's important to loot when killing belt NPCs as they drop valuable modules more often than the mission NPCs, and sometimes the valuable faction items (e.g. "Domination" or "Shadow Serpentis" items from the NPCs of that name).
