I stay between 20-30 million.
30 million, time to burn some good suits and kick a few into the Corporation account, to be used by less profitable characters.
20 million, time for [STARTER FIT]s and sniping.

Went proto 2 weeks back with 54 million. I have 9 milliin now.

Trying to figure out how to farm isk. 1 suit costs 135k. 2 deaths is -isk.

Confused. Weren't you here during Chromosome? Nobody that was here during Chrome should be having ISK problems.

run cheap suits and prospure.

redeploying as a laser when heavies are defending the point, and MD/PC for defending.

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.

actually I think you can make that into something fun as well. What I like to do from time to time is take a budget like.... 20k and see what I can do with it and try to make a suit that's decent. This normally tends to work out honestly. Its not great for K/d but it is great for ISK efficiency. Not to mention that ive got sooooo many SP now. Even with out the god suits I can still take a standard caldari suit and make it into something that's good enough to compete with advanced suits. (and I have killed proto suits in it too, though that's much harder). So in a way..... you can take the challenge and make that fun!

It's stupid but having too many fits makes my OCD attack me whenever I go into the fitting screen, so I try to keep it fairly organized, even though I still have too many fits for my liking >_<

Thinking about ISK automatically makes me lose enjoyment from playing. That's why I'm not complaining about being poor, I play to have fun, worrying about ISK saps that fun out of the game for me, so I just grab my HMG and join the party

I wipe my ass with isk also use it to fuel my fireplace.

I used to have 44 mill, spent it all on space striipers and cookies. Down to 15 mill.

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.

Well, my Viziam begs to differ, I am just waiting for the new scope. I am sure I can find a few vets that remember the glory days.

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

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.
