EDIT: I forgot this major point, they get 500 WP 10-1 and get about 200k ISK I get 30 kills and 3 deaths with 1500+ WP and only get 400k ISK. that's the real issue. the game feeds noobs.
I only run a 6.07 KDR and my monies never drop below 80m ISKies and i run proto suit + proto mods and proto weapon each and every game even when we get stomped, hell i don't even have an advanced fit anymore, nor use any BPO's.
If you run out of money with a 10.x KDR, you must be doing something wrong.
Quote:so if I kill10 proto suits and you kill 30 mlt suits we both get roughly the same isk, this is something a lot of protos don't do right as they avoid high level fights to protect their investment when fighting those suits are more likely to give a better return on investment.
Sounds plausible, most protos i come accross not backed by a team of 4 others ussually run like hell, when you graze their shield a little, +Fanmail ussually follows :) |

it's ridiculous at that.
Well no not really...
Each Merc gets a basic contract to kill the enemy, this contract is say xxx.000 ISK to get the job done + a Bonus thats gets pooled for your entire team for destroying expensive gear, this is a set rate in your contract regardless of how many you kill on your own, regardless if you win or loose.
Its a Teamgame, well thats what you all say all the time, hugging 4 Protos together.
You are then tasked with using your own gear on a premise of "Don't use what you cannot afford" and so called good judgement on your part.
You signed the contract by pressing X.
If this was a Game of solo play and Get X ISK per kill, it would be a free for all 32 man deathmatch, witch it isnt.
If i fly a mission in EVE and i can do the mission in a shitfit Raven Battleship costing 250m ISK and the mission pays out 3m + 10-15m isk of salvage or i can fly it in a Expensive Tengu worth 3 Billion of faction mods and i loose them.
How many missions do i need to run to get break even on the Tengu ?
A whole friggin lot, noone said i had to fly the Tengu, i could have gone with option A. Raven and only loose 250m.
This is New Eden, you are not paid to use top of the line gear and modules, you are paid to do the job.
Running a profit is entirely up to you! |
