CrotchGrab 360 Better Hide R Die 11	Posted - 2013.02.24 22:50:00 - [1] - Quote Come on, admit to sucking major balls. I ran out of ISK, I just kept dying due to being inebriated all week. Now I'm back on top with 1.2m ISK.
Jotun Hiem Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 412	Posted - 2013.02.24 22:52:00 - [2] - Quote I think I had issues keeping money when I started back in August, but it's not such an issue anymore now that I keep my losses in mind as a game goes on.
Kane Fyea Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 65	Posted - 2013.02.24 22:58:00 - [3] - Quote I have at the very least 1 mill ISK at a time...... Sounds like you need to run cheaper fits.

Also dying uses up a lot of ISK, maybe if you did that less it would save you some monies!
gbghg L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 372	Posted - 2013.02.24 23:05:00 - [5] - Quote I spend most of my time below 1 million, it's the downside of running a dropship, they cost loads, are as fragile as pottery, and give crap payouts most of the time.

Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 809	Posted - 2013.02.24 23:36:00 - [12] - Quote I'm usually sitting below 500,000 ISK, but it's because I prefer to stock the living hell out of all my gear. I'd rather have a ton of usable gear sitting around and not have to worry about restocking every few matches than have a giant pile of ISK that isn't actually doing anything.

Sounds to me you're being wreckless with your fits. If you can't afford to lose it don't use it bro. Plan ahead

Thumb Green Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 21	Posted - 2013.02.24 23:51:00 - [16] - Quote When I first started playing I'd get to having only a few thousand isk but never actually went broke. Then when I started this character I stayed in starter gear until I skilled up for the type-2 assault suit ; I still spent a bit of sp here and there on other skills so by the time I got the type-2 I was sitting on around 20 mil. I tend to stick around 14 mil now after restocking my fit to 150-200.
TheBLAZZED VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 62	Posted - 2013.02.24 23:57:00 - [17] - Quote I feel broke when I'm under 40 mill....

Scoot Medic ZionTCD Legacy Rising 50	Posted - 2013.02.25 00:07:00 - [21] - Quote I have 7mil ISK, not a lot for EVE standerds, but that number is rising. A quick tip, you dont have to use the best gear like Proto or ADV gear, if you cant afford it dont use it. I keep my fitting in the 30-40k range and most of the time I turn a profit, given I dont die 5 times in a match, I switch out my fitting to a milita fitting if I feel I'm losing too much.
Sentient Archon Red Star. 690	Posted - 2013.02.25 00:10:00 - [22] - Quote Im sitting at 27 million ISK after donating 10 million to my corp. Those darn directors robbing me clean

mollerz s1ck3r Corp 71	Posted - 2013.02.25 00:10:00 - [24] - Quote I keep about 14 shmil(and climbing) laying under the mattress in my merc bunk. I've also learned to keep my inventory lean, so about 10 each of 5different loudouts I tend to use. So my merc is staying in the black profit wise, and what more could you ask? I'm not really worried about amassing a huge bankroll in dust, because i have nearly a half a billion in liquid isk in my eve corp. It's kind of like being a trust fund kid i imagine... just waiting for that fortune to open up. And more than that, I'm waiting for something worth spending a lot on. Right now, I don't find i even need to spend too much. FWIW, I don't lose any more money when I am hitting the sauce vs sober. WTF are you slamming dude? lolz.

Public Safety Officer Algintal Core Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2013.02.25 00:26:00 - [26] - Quote The Department of Public Safety does recommend fiscal responsibility, and offers these few tips to get you started if dying less isn't within your immediate reach: 1. In Ambush, spawn first in a cheap fit to counter terrible spawn mechanics. The second spawn is almost always better. 2. Consider using well placed drop uplinks before spawning in your good gear. 3. Make good use of maps with supply depots to spawn cheaply, and swap safely. 4. Consider adding ths ISK value to the end of your fitting names as a good reminder of what you are risking. 5. If you are having a terribad match, only spawn in cheap fits. Don't rage into bankruptcy. 6. Learn to recognize the pros on the opposing team. Consider this when ISK is tight. This is the tip of the iceberg. Best of luck to all poors!

CLOSEDBETA TSTR-est E3 Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 25	Posted - 2013.02.25 01:10:00 - [29] - Quote when I logged out last night in my account I had 86,200,120 ISK.So to answer your question .No I have never ran out of ISK.Its simple math risk/reward feature which is the very underlying factor of the EVE online New Eden/Dust 514 principle. That is? Never risk what you cannot afford to loose.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1058	Posted - 2013.02.25 01:32:00 - [30] - Quote I'm rolling in ISK compared to the rest of my time in beta Remember codex? That was a bad time; 100,000 ISK was an above average payout, 60,000 was what people usually got. Now I'm getting around 200,000 a battle.

Gaff Origami ZionTCD Legacy Rising 49	Posted - 2013.02.25 01:48:00 - [33] - Quote I tend to net 500-750k every night I play so I'm at 16M now. My high end suit is 70k so I only let myself lose it once or twice before switching to my 8k AR suit. I rarely let myself die more than 4-5 times per match so I almost always make some money.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 288	Posted - 2013.02.25 02:58:00 - [34] - Quote I tried an experiment shortly after the last reset, use the most expensive suit/fittings I can to see if I can go bankrupt (without the use of AUR items). I am now running a 75k type-B suit, I have about 47 million ISK, and it's still climbing. Lesson here is, use better gear and you can survive longer and take out enemies more efficiently, therefore you lose less and make more ISK. Although I have been playing this game for several months now, and am able to do much better than I used to in terms of survivability. This may not work for everyone, but it works great for me. I think in the last month the most amount of deaths I got in a match was 5. Typically I go x-1, or if I didn't do so well, x-3. A really bad game for me would be x-4 or x-5 (at least in ambush, skirmish is a bit different due to the length and inevitable risk-taking. Went 40-5 the other week and that was not a bad game for me despite getting 5 deaths).
usrevenge2 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 64	Posted - 2013.02.25 03:23:00 - [35] - Quote since my fits cost about 10k each, I have not, to run out of isk i'd have to die like 15 times a match.
Sloth9230 Reaper Galactic 244	Posted - 2013.02.25 04:04:00 - [36] - Quote I'm in a constant state of broke-ness. I can usually cover my losses, but going up against the higher ranked corps always eats through my better suits.

I saw a red Dropship pull a Monty Python on a blueberry last week. He tried to get me next but hugging the CRU saved the day. Getting back on topic I do have not has trouble saving up isk. The cost is in the fit names. After a couple "Hvy I Assault Forge 26.5k" deaths I fall back to other Heavy or Logi fits that are under 17k. If it's going to be one-of-those-fights out comes the "'Sever' Toxin 6.6k" fit. 10 mil cushion. Just in case I suddenly go bonkers for tanks or Dropship (again). Although I should probably be one of the last people to give budget advice. Just burned nearly 500k isk for Sidearm Sharpshooter Proficiency with no intention of training it past level 1.

Enkidu Camuel Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 69	Posted - 2013.02.25 14:02:00 - [46] - Quote I've saved over 60mil ISK and rising.
A'Real Fury The Silver Falcon Federation 4	Posted - 2013.02.25 17:09:00 - [47] - Quote 50mil plus at the moment but increasing fast. But I do run a BPO Suit except for the nades. I am not buying a BPO for nades when hey cost 240 Isk. Of course my skills are not where I want them yet so I am not going to use more expensive suits yet. I guess for those who play as pilots or use HAVs and high end LAVs need to find corps with rich players who are willing to contribute assets and Isk to the (corp) team/squad if you get to play together often. Possibly difficult proposition when you can not filter for locations/regions and time zones etc I am currently saving my money to see if they introduce money making investments into the game e.g mining , building factories or developing product lines and BPOs etc
trollsroyce Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 164	Posted - 2013.02.25 17:51:00 - [48] - Quote On this char I only gain per match; now at 75m. On my noob tank alt I need to hold back the tanks or I get broke :)

CrotchGrab 360 Better Hide R Die 11	Posted - 2013.02.25 18:24:00 - [51] - Quote Thanks for all the posts guys. I don't know what I was doing, I was just really high all week. My suit cost like 50k ISK. 2 enhanced shield extenders, 2 enhanced armour plates. GEK, Assault Type 2. Now I'm using A-Series, 3 enhanced shield extenders, 2 enhanced armour plates, GEK. Think that's around 40k, not sure. Had quite a few 0 death games using the A series. I have ~2.5 KDR so I dunno what was going on about dying all the time and losing ISK. I haven't actually gone negative apart from maybe one game in my first week of playing. (which i undoubtedly would have exited). One game I went about 40-10. it's a fair amount of kills but it's a fair amount of deaths u know? Maximum I get is 300k ISK from a game of Skirmish. Oh and anyone who doesn't understand that ''back on top with 1.2m ISK'' is a joke, ESPECIALLY coming from someone who is called ''crotch grab 360'' really needs to think about the condition of their brain... Anyway thanks for the advice and the entertainment in your responses people :) Keep playing, keep enjoying!

General John Ripper Baltar Research 22	Posted - 2013.02.25 20:50:00 - [53] - Quote you guys make me feel epic. I have 8 different load outs. each of which costs between 30k-60k isk each. I usually go with a 55k isk load out because its my favorite :D And I have 100 of each load out already bought and I am at 17 million isk!
DUST Fiend Immobile Infantry 1902	Posted - 2013.02.25 20:55:00 - [54] - Quote I basically always have < 200k. I just constantly refill all my different fits (8 or 9 across 3 suits), and I stock up on my LAV and Dropship. Dropships eat ISK like a fat kid eats chinese food, it's crazy man....

Gaff Origami ZionTCD Legacy Rising 50	Posted - 2013.02.26 02:18:00 - [56] - Quote I think the key is more to not die than to get a good KDR. if you go 50:10 with a 50k suit you'll spend 500k and maybe earn 300k. If you go 10:2 you'll spend 100k and earn 200k. Same KDR obviously.
