If I'd have to venture a guess, I'd say "stop losing so many ships". Because opportunities to MAKE cash in 0.0, no matter how "lousy" your particular 0.0 is (truesec) are quite abundant... but then again, so are the opportunities to lose one's ship (mostly to other players, but tough belt spawns might be at fault occasionally).

Run missions or rat in a ship that can PvP or run away depending on the situation. ---

Stop ratting. Ratting in Curse is horrible. If your standings aren't already screwed, run missions for Angels. I know it sounds horrible and carebeary, but it's much more lucrative. Try and avoid the missions where you shoot empire faction/concord rats unless you don't care about going into hi-sec any more.

Go back to Empire space and run missions and only come back once you're flying a battlecruiser.

I can fly a BC. But both attempts at a shield tanked cyclone or a armor tanked cane have come up kinda short.

get better shield skills, better gun/missile skills.
rat in a gang? sure you're gonna make less but at least you're making.
run missions, about as basic as it gets

Haven't I seen you in Utopia? I dont think I've killed you, but I'm pretty sure I've tried to run you down once or twice....
How is your corp standings-wise with some of the other locals? Possibly more important than flying the right kind of ship is having some friends in the area.

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. One weekend I went to Curse to rat, and get sec up, and made 250mil in 2 days (w/o faction spawns).

Run missions. You should be making 40-50m per hour with loot, salvage, and LP from L4 Angel missions in Curse.

For those of you with poor reading comprehension, he's running around in a TECH 1 CRUISER and won't be making 40m ISK an hour ratting or farming LVL4 missions any time soon.
Even taking down a 1m ISK BS would be a challenge. |

I didn't have too much trouble ratting & Surviveing in Detroid/Immensea two years ago with a Caracal and 5M SP. Really success in 0.0 is more about wits than skillpoints.
As for the OP. Pick a system that spawns mostly Battlecruisers and low end battleships. Work that till you have enough scratch for a battlecruiser of your own. If it's possible to run missions out that way then do so. Alot ISK to be made working for the pirate factions.

Honestly, a tech-1 cruiser should be able to rat in Curse region, although I personally prefer the relaxing use of a battleship for ratting.
If you can, try to slip into a battleship and run level 4 missions and/or live in empire and/or join a space-holding alliance. In each of these three options both isk-earning potential increases and safety increases.
Solo isk-earning in NPC 0.0 space, while possible, isn't for most players. You can try it, and if you're good at it, you'll do just fine. Work your way up the ship-ladder and fly safe. ---

It's funny how this game produces such diverse characters. I've only got 4m SP but more isk than I can currently spend, and I'd gladly trade it all for 4 million more SPs.
Count yourself lucky that you have skills, and get your arse to work grinding missions. Making isk is much faster than building skills.

Then run level 1, 2, and 3 missions, and spend a week training for a Raven.

With 6.5M SP and a cruiser, level 3 missions should be doable.

Get some friends and try to do "profitable" things with them, not just Pvp
I would think that the amount of people that actually has PvP as main source of income is very rare, everyone do things on the side to get that extra boost in income
so make some friends...

It's possible to rat solo 0.0 in a rupture, I do it reasonably successfully in admittedly not that great truesec 0.0 (Providence).

Get an armor tanked cruiser and move to Providence. Sansha's are easier to tank and kill than Angels especially in Amarr or Gallente ships. or Make sure you have all your capacitor, shield, and damage skills trained to level 4 and trying picking off easier spawns in Curse. Drones also help especially with frigs, so train drone skills too. or Start running missions for Angels. Level 1-2 missions will be easier than belt ratting. or Go back to empire and start mining, doing missions, trading, whatever else your heart desires to make ISK.

Stop ratting. Ratting in Curse is horrible.
I would beg to differ. Officer drops a-plenty when I lived there. It is better then a lot of other crap regions.
I own a T2 BPO and Capital alt, therefor all of my views will be pro-Capital Alt/T2 BPO orientated. Please pick one of the following settings for your response. []hate me []troll me []smack me |

Well I have less skill than you and can take double gurista spawns easy in a cane and a triple spawn if I kill one and warp out and in again! You must suck!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy stuff on contracts that are in an auction. Sell as item exchange with an increase. People value time more than anything in this game. They want stuff now!
Made 100m in 2 week's leisurely doing so with my new alt invention char.
Also - print out the WinKitten below and It will bring you good luck
