I find doing missions, mining, killing npcs, buy low sell high, all boring. I recently came back to this game a week ago after 9 months and all I wanna do is pvp. I need money to make money some how, any ideas? :)
Thanks.

If you aint going to do any of the boring stuff, join a corp, lighten the corp hangar, etc , etc.
Or u could go camp a gate in 0.0.

Most pirates have 2nd accts that they use to mine rare ores to supply them with the most expensive ships and weapons due to their usually low sec status
they also kill ppl and sometiems they get nice things and sell it
and others are ex miners / traders who have played for a long time and aare rich bef4 they are a pirate

My alt (beeblebrox) is a pirate. She makes about 20mil a week in pirating. Tolling, selling goods, and we even got a hauler with 40k zyd when we one day was trying out frig pirating.

The bigger corps have mining factions and/or "sponsoring". IE they group with people/corps who are well into mining and "cooperate".

I don't make money either. In my wallet right now is enough to replace my scorp I lost to Merc frigs and that's it. I scrimp and live off modules I pick up from killing pirates.
Otherwise I barely fly around with a full module set-up.
So no, not much money here

In recent wars MF has been involved in, it's amazing how undiscaplined a lot of players are when it comes to loading equipment/munitions.
Last night I picked up about 300 cruise missiles from just a couple of player kills, personally I never carry more than about 10 at a time for a frig fight, if I need more then I go reload.
When you consider these sell for about 3-6K each it's a good evenings work in missiles alone, not to mention the other weapon/mod drops.
They all go back in the corp pot anyway and contribute to the war economy, but the potential ISK making for reasonably little effort is obvious.

I am a PK. I do make money PKing. I just fly near some1, warp scramble him. then I start a conv and say if he`ll move, defend himself or post anything in local I`ll kill him. then I ask him money depending on his ship. if he givs me the money I don`t kill him. if he doesn`t I kill him, pod him, collect his loot, sell his loot & add his corpse to my bio. u can ransom something like 20mill or sometimes even more when yer victim is a level2 bs. if any1 is seeking for a PK corp which do know how to mess with people then join SENSHI 2004. to join talk to me or kyuuki.

I find pirating quite lucrative actually.
Here is what you should do: find a region with ample fixed npc spawns and travell betwen the spawns and just ransom the BS you find at those.
Or get lucky and find a ****load off high end minerals inn an indy flying about

What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.

just find some system 0.3 whit refinery and losts of roidbelts
Make a good warp in book markon evey roidbelt
and then wait for miners 
(baisikly just make lots of bookmarkked gank systems and look whit map when some one is mining in there - set ur course there and gank em)

i used to hold people up. Great fun, and the cash was pretty good too. 1.5-3mil per cruiser, and the occasional jackpot from bships ranging from 20mil to 50mil. Also the loot from the less cooperative customers. Then came all the nerfs and stuff, and it became horribly hard to hold people up, impossible if you go in alone like i used to do. I still try to hold people up, but it usually ends up all messy with a corpse and a cargo can.
But i'm proud to say all my money came from holding up and other pirating activities, including but not limited to; getting upfront payments from potential TTI recruits who for some odd reason thought i was the TTI recruitment guy.
Its not a scam, its psychosocial manipulation and questionable conversational skills.
But in general, piracy aint as profitable as anything else, and its very risky, especially since castor.

Not for me, no. A few of them mine for themselves, though.
And yes, Drex, I totally forgot about that. Probably because I totally forgot to do anything with it, and it's sitting in a hangar in lonetrek  I feel bad now.
Yes, every now and then I'll actually turn a profit, but I don't pirate to make money, so it's like a side-bonus. I do it for the socialising...

Well its different with each pirate. Some just go off want ever they can always low on isk but make it go a long way.
Other like some other posts have said do have other accounts they "play" carebears with. Then there our the other people *cough *cough that always find new ways to make isk...and get assets..they pray off the stupid and gulliable CEO's out there in cearbear corps..can basicly if you get a good clean rip..you can walk away "escrow" with hundreds of millions in isk...just all depend on how you play the game.
And there is always selling loot ..this is the main source for most pirates. You can very ez sell some loot that you got in one day and make 30 plus million off it.

And yes I am a very poor pirate.

I am in the fortunate position that I have two nephews who desperatly want to play. So I hatched a cunning plan see :) I pay for their accounts and they have to work for me :) If they dont deliver me enough isk each week I ban them from playing!
Without them I would be stoney broke ha ha as Bounty hunting pays me nada. We do get supported highly with ships and equipment but in pure isk terms it suxxor bit styleee.

ahh ..
And a nother point that perhaps many non PVPer should understand about PVP players.
Most of us actualy dont try to make money. We dont play this game to gather welth. As long as we have ISK to reinsure our ships, ammo, and missiles. And perhaps have a spare ship waiting when we are shot down so that beeing killed dont make us waist many houers traveling, picking up and refiting our ship.
I once played this game for making ISK, no i dont anymore.

I only broke the 100Mil mark during castor week, and I've been playing since release+1week. Nearly all my income has come through agent missions and their associated rewards. I was in with the first people to be awarded implants, and made a total killing off those.
And to top it off, I got a leet frig BP last night.

I've played since release, started as a miner but for the last six months I've been a pirate hunter and just concentrated on the pvp aspect of the game.
It's no coincidence that I am considerably poorer since I recycled my basic miners but my enjoyment for the game has increased dramatically. As long as I have enough money to insure my ship and buy ammo I'm happy and any extra isk is just a bonus. Killing npc's usually fulfills this goal.
I haven't tried pirating but I am seriously considering it but I wouldn't do it with the sole intention of making isk but just to have a laugh and enjoy the game. As it's been said by some of the pirates posting it's not an easy profession to get into but you can occassionally hit the jackpot if a ransom comes off.
To the original poster, I suppose it all boils down to your priorities but whether you make any isk or not make sure you are having fun doing it!
Station camping, ship jamming, forum spamming, milk drinking, deep thinking, gooner loving, goat hugging, pirate killer............AVE IT LARGE!!!! |

I am open to offers on it, but if I don't get anything worth accepting, I'll just make them myself. I have enough minerals and tech II parts to put out about 10, I think.
The BP might be a nice givaway for eve-radio...
As for re-engaging my bb production line, we'll have to see. I got through quite a lot of them. I think I got a 10-15 run thorax print of some poor sod too, so I might make some of those. They're like mini-megas. :)
