What's the quickest way to get into a BS? I'm in a Thorax atm, and have been for a long time, but I'm getting a bit bored of it and want something better. My mining skills are very good, but I dont have the time or inclination to sit there mining for that long unless I have to. Is there any other *quick* way to get into a BS? ----------------------------------------------- Kyan Vrezpor Omnitech "Think of the future, think of Omnitech." |

There's no real quick way of getting into a bs. You could get a loan off a friend or corp, buta bs, then use it to mine/hunt to pay your loan back. Other than that mining is still the quickest way to earn Isk.

I own 2 BS (Dominix and Scorpion) - I could have bought 2-3 more had I kept doing what I was doing... Mine ores, sell ores... rinse-wash-repeat... doing this I was able to get into an Imicus within 1-2 hrs of being in-game; I was able to buy my first Vexor (best mining cruiser in-game IMHO) faster than I could learn the skills to fly it and I was able to buy my first BS (Dominix) again faster than I could learn the skills to effectively use it. Doing this made me roughly 2 mil per hour - more than enough to buy 2 BS's in fairly short order.
Perhaps it should be noted that my technique took 2 players to accomplish - one Vexor cruiser can fill a Bestower Indy pretty fast with ore assuming the Bestower Indy has L4 indy skills and some common cargo expanders; a Thorax has one more miner beam than Vexor so it can fill the Bestower a little faster with less cargo space; the Dominix can fill 2-3 Bestowers in the same time it takes a Vexor to fill 1 Bestower... all the mining was done in 0.5+ system although I have mined some 0.4 systems for Jaspet - generally speaking however when you mine in systems with lower sec than 0.5 the cost in terms of time it takes to keep the belt clear of NPC's as well as the hassle in watching out for gankers makes the activity less lucrative than going for the easier to get ores in more secure space. Anyway getting into a BS is a trivial pursuit... it's just playing time and money. Get in a Caracal cruiser and go blast NPC pirates with 85k bountys long enough and you too will earn enough for a BS. Don't want to risk losing your cruiser in some 0.0 sector where you could be easily ganked - hop in a Kestrel and use cruise missiles - if you get ganked well no great loss - just be sure you don't have implants you might lose. Eh, this is why some of us have more than 2 accounts right ? Best to let those characters die who don't have and never will get the implants - the rest of those who do have implants need never die in EVE.

Fastest way to get into a BS is to find one abandond, eject from your ship then enter the other ship...
But a more realistic way would be to mine, sell the ore and buy one...
If you know of a player with good building skills maybe mine and have them build for you...
The hunting NPC Pirates will earn you money but very slowly unless you take risks in spawn sites of in low sec space. You will also need good weapons skills and expencive equip for this.
I make a good deal of cash buying minerals cheap and moving region to sell at a higher price.. you need good money to do this thoug, and now megacyte has settled in price it doesn't make the money it used to...
You may see the cup as half full, others may see it as half empty... Me... I know the cup is twice as big as it needs to be!!! |

In Thorax you can really easy make 2 mil/hour mining almost anything exept Veldspar. So it makes something like 30-50 hours of mining and you have your own BS. 5 hours a day it makes 6-10 days of hard work..... or.... If you are in a good company, hauling rare ores can give you 30 milion/5-6 hours of work (depending on skills). Of course if you have guts to travel around 0.0. You can also mine in 0.0 (not easy but can be done if you practice). One hour of mining Bistot is worth something like 25-30 milions, but it's risky and you have to haul it, refine it and sell it then. You can also make missions and refine all you receive from your agent - which would also give you money for BS but I think it's more like month of mission-making. I don't have much experience with killing rats.
No more ideas :) I heard that killing convoys can be profitable. _________________

Missions are fast if you know how to do it, you could earn easily 3-4 milions in a day (8-10 hours of playing) but add to this an implant you will earn every one, or two days, then add to this the minerals from refining tools... doing this you could easily earn isk for any battleship in a week.. but you must play more than an hour or two in a day If you don`t have time for playing go to e-bay, it`s the fastest way

I made 8million in 4 hours of agent missions yesterday, oh and i also got 2 memory implants.
So, agent missions are worth it.
Also, the implants are supposed to occur more often with the new patch.

Agent mission are very good but they got nerfed a bit now on the reward side : you can no longer get ZYd and Mega from Tech 2 components and while more implants is a good thing, it means the prices for them will drop = less money.

I had intended to earn isk and buy a ready made bs, especially with agent missions since Castor, but then i realised had lots of lower grade minerals from earlier mining and recycling and some meg and zyd from loot so mined some more from trit to noxium, bought the balance of meg and zyd and built my own after training production effeciency to level 4.
Word of warning though, be careful buying the bpc from escrow, quite a few on sale are 0 run and thus useless.

If you are content with hunting in 0.4 and lower, even most 0.1's have good spawns of cruisers, and you can make some fast isk if you are able to take 2 or 3 NPC cruisers at a time.
At first you might want a warp core stabilizer or two until you get used to them, but you can kill them in 1 cruiser. Its a lot harder work, but very fun
I have to agree though mining, however boring, is a good steady income. You can't guarantee cruiser spawns that that you can solo in your cruiser, but you can pretty much be sure you can pull in a steady chunk of ore.

Or you could just kill an Indy that's carrying a load of megacyte out of 0.0 space and hop it drops some of the ore - hehe. And who ever said "piracy" doesn't pay off ? - lol
