You do realise that you'll be best paid as a team player, when release comes out?

EVE players won't care if you have a good KDR, they'll care if you get the job done. If you don't, they won't hire you.

enough man alright. When people say KDR does not matter, its just excuse that makes them feel good because they fail at the basic FPS principle: AIM and SHOOT

EVERY COMPETITIVE TEAM ALWAYS LOOKS AT THE KDR FIRST

PS if we could only raise KDR through mining asteroids, then every1 would be happy

One problem with that. Eve Online corporations that will provide the lucrative contracts will not look at that as a priority (only as a perk). I have been through enough corporations in Eve including one power bloc (The Northern Coalition) to see that KDR will not matter. What will matter is how you lead your team, how you complete the objective the contract require you, how you defend yourself, your hacking skills, your driving skills, your corporate management skills.

If I was an Eve corp/alliance looking for a Dust mercenary corp to take control of a planet, and I see that your corp has a butt load of good K/D ratios but failed to do much progress with said skill, I will not hire you. I would spend my ISK on a Dust corp that may not have much K/D ratios in comparison but are at least capable of getting their job done.

KDR's DO NOT COUNT IN A MMO; especially in one where the sole purpose is MINING ASTEROIDS

I can make a decent profit with just that combined with manufacturing, but I'm on my own. If I am attacked, there is no one to help me. But at least I make an impact on my aggressors as they buy my ships and ammo to use them against me. If I lose a ship, they have already paid for my loss.

Don't take me for a fool.

It's pretty clear you just won't listen to anything reasonable I say to you. Have fun in your endeavors and I hope you make it to success. I just also hope that one day you realize what I mean. I have seen people rank up pretty high in the leaderboards in a single match with 50+/0 yet they failed to win the match. That's like seeing a Titan (super-capital) go down to a fleet of sub-capital ships.
