What I learned is that you shouldn't bother wasting ISK (especially not AUR BPCs) on instant battles. Save it for when it matters.

This's what I spent my first three months doing.

My KDR has never recovered. Roll

... OTOH, is there even a reason to be isk positive after you have a couple hundred million in the bank?

Lol throw a couple million my way last night I went to pay back a corp member a million isk after he loaned it to me an I took over ten million from my alt went to pay him back an accidentally gave somebody else 10 million hahaha damn don't transfer money when your sleepy]]> Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:43:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/801180 <![CDATA[The real easy-mode - by J-Lewis]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1060113#post1060113 Crash Monster wrote:

I do this all the time.

Aye, AUR BPCs in pubs seems a bit silly. Fused Locus is the main one seen. Pissing away real money like that just seems wasteful though if they're having fun with it I guess that's what matters, the other issues of contact explosives aside.

Tangentially related, I see they've pulled the 'Abyss' Drop Uplink from the market. AUR item, was -90% spawn time, 25 or so uses and self-destructs if the one who dropped it dies. Seems like it was designed precisely for swarming with cheaper fits to overwhelm. The concept behind it struck me as being pretty cool.

I can get 10,000 AUR for the cost of my morning starbuck's coffee. That's something like 500 suits worth of 'Cavity' fused (so like... a month of play lol)

It never matters.

If you're interested in it, FW matters
PC matters

when real corps can give contracts, it will matter.


Nope. Just a game. A bad one at that. None of it "matters."

And only so much ISK can be spent even in PC anyway. Especially with corp dues/donations, and the fact that a lot of players have well over 100,000,000 Isk at this point with nothing to really buy? Isk running low ain't even a thing.

Yeah, BPOs are the true easy-mode of Dust.
