16B Cash Isk Eve side, not including assets :p

I'm mining my ******* ass off trying to hit 550 million by tomorrow, still 70 million out and will likely not make it

[quote=Jathniel]Dust teaches you to be selfish.

Sitting at a quarter billion isk, with 230 million being my personal "zero balance".

Making money in this game is easy, you just gotta pick your battles and pick your suits.

If I'm solo and facing a stacked team, I take a look at my own team:
- If the team looks pretty strong, I'll stay and fight and maybe spend some money to support them because it'll be fun. I'll put the occasional protosuit out there.

- If the team looks like it's going to suck because it's comprised of fresh out of the Academy noobs, I'll probably just leave before the fight begins so as not to waste my time, nor even a 20k isk suit. I don't use free suits, I'm actually starting to care about my KDR somewhat.

- If the team starts off strong, but for whatever reason things get super bad mid-fight, and we CAN'T recover I'll afk in the redzone or MCC. Sure it's more considerate to just leave, but I'd rather stay the full amount of time, and maybe snipe a protosuit or two to try and recover some of my costs.

- Finally, you can ring in PC. Play proto to your heart's content, and provided you don't get molly-whopped, you'll walk away with consistently high returns.

In the end, if you're running solo and you want to make money, you need to think prudently, and don't waste your resources fighting for sorry teams over some sense of misplaced gamer sportsmanship. If you do that, Dust will penalize you for participation.

lol you run a laser? My beliefs about CCP never actually playing their own game continue to be proven. No one runs a laser except as a joke.

If you've got the time to mine that much isk you should be spending it roaming around in nullsec finding 10/10s ect, they can drop 1bil for an hours work and in the least you'll walk away with 100mil.

It's a rare day when I go over 2 million ISK, that's what I get for running solo and staying out of PC :p

I basically never ever ever use my proto gear, it's just there to look pretty (aside from my Ishukone forge), it's basically all advanced gear for me.

Who else wishes they could sit on their Merc Quarters couch to look for extra change?

You know that the Viziam doesn't do any more damage than the regular one? it just takes longer to overheat...so you can build up heat longer...POTENTIALLY doing more damage...but you have to use up an entire clip just to do that :/

Using the extra pg/cpu for say a damage mod or two is the only way to actually do more damage with it sadly...

Unless I am mistaken and am missing something.
