[QUOTE=Spoco;19497107]I've played 2 trials of this game, very briefly though only on the first day of the trial pretty much. Now I so much want to try AGAIN, for some reason. The problem is I don't want to quit WoW forever and I can't pay for them both every month. So I'm wondering, how long does it take until you can afford to pay your gametime in-game?[/QUOTE] If you are smart and jump into trading you can make enough to pay the first month you play. I am not sure if anyone has tried to do it recently but there were several "rags to riches" experiments executed that took the starting 5k and turned it into almost a billion in 30 days.
[QUOTE=Timebomb757;19436791]So gate campers are the main threat in Lowsec, as opposed to single pirate attackers? Wait, so what is a good counter to gate campers? I really cant think of any :frown:[/QUOTE] Get a blockade runner and you're good to go. It's an industrial ship that can warp quickly and has cloak.

Ninja salvage lvl4 missions in mission hubs. Open map--> star map --> npc kills in last 24 hours (mission hubs have them over 10s of thousands)
[QUOTE=TheForeigner;19503390]Ninja salvage lvl4 missions in mission hubs. Open map--> star map --> npc kills in last 24 hours (mission hubs have them over 10s of thousands)[/QUOTE] This is how I make money when I can't be arsed to ransom, and if they shoot at you, just warp out and come back in a rifter and ransom them:buddy:
I'm currently running level 3 missions in your typical phag fit Drake mission setup. At the moment I could jump up to level 4's, hell even level 5's because I've racked up enough standing with the Caldari. But I'll stick with level 3's until I can T2 fit a Raven or get a Nighthawk. My question is, when do I start making some good, decent cash from Level 3's/ level 4's? Most of the loot I salvage is pretty much junk, but the loot from time to time is good. Am I doing something wrong? Took a long time to get the cash to T2 fit my Drake with rigs, so...I'm just curious when decent ISK starts rolling in. I'm boasting a measly 6,225,000 Skillpoints. At this point though, I'm about able to run any level 3 mission with the drake with a few warps to station and back to heal up. But other than that, they've been a breeze. What's the average SP needed for a good outfit on level 4's? I could jump into a Raven with T2 cruises and drones, and have the drake as a backup with mostly T2 everything else, but like they say... "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose." I suppose though it would be more profitable and viable to rat in low-sec, though.
Imo, if you can fit a t2 drake, it should be more than enough to rape shit in (most) 4's, and you don't make any money on level 3's, but level 4's, especially angel and drone missions, fucking yummy :3:
Hmh myrmidon with passive shield tanks.
[QUOTE=Cyrex;19482538] Are you in a pirate corp that's recruiting by chance? :v:[/QUOTE] I believe Bloodmoney Bottcamp recruting people.
Pajama Sam's corp The Tuskers do shit in Verge Vendor and Placid I think.
They do shit everywhere.

So uh, I read some guides and stuff and subscribed, but I can't use EveMon without the API key which I can't get without waiting 72 hours? They have this weird rule now that you can't log in to the forums before 72 hours have passed since they received your payment.

So I just went salvaging in some random caldari system because I was bored, I usually reside in amarr, haven't been in caldari space other than jita in forever, and there was a helios, fitted with blasters, with a corpse in its cargo hold in the station I docked in, do I want to know?

What's your name ingame PJ? Holy shit, just noticed where I remembered the tuskers name from, fucking loved those rifter guides :v: Sad that he wanted some 0.0 though, he'll come back though, once a pirate, always a pirate.

Any suggestions as to what I should do now? I'm four days in, I've done all of the tutorial agents, got a few million, some ships etc but I can't figure out what to do. I can't exactly go pvp or I'll get raped, and mining asteroids is tedious.

I found myself in a C3 WH. SO MANY SIGS TO SCAN.
So, after running out of my original gametime on Monday, I expected my Buddy invite days from that Steam deal to kick in. They didn't. Current petition wait time: 4 days.
