I hear from plenty of players now that they "have 3.2m SP, and 540m ISK in the bank".
Quite simply, how? Since I currently have ~35m SP and 60m ISK accross two characters. |

Yeah, been wonering that too... BPOs are not the only key, I imagine, as there ios plenty rich bastardos around  I find, tho that whenever I lose a fully fitted BS, the money for the mods finds its way to ym hands fast, and then the flow stops till I get another one blown up  |

You aren't alone; I have 14.5m SP, but never seem to have over 40m in my account due to having nearly all PvP setups (no mining or NPCing ships)  |

It's not hard to make money if that's your goal.
Just happens to be that making money is mind-numbingly boring. I'd rather be blowing stuff (players) up then chaining belt rats or running missions. |

I have just over 2 mill SP's and somewhere over 400 mill (plus 20 ships at least, several barges, 5 hoarders, 4 cruisers, 1 BC, etc). Simply put, mining. I alternate with some missions when i get too bored. I dont PvP (not yet at least), i look at this as building a foundation for what i want to do in the future :) I think the income "masterplan" goes fairly much like this : "Have a steady income though whichever means you enjoy without losing 20 ships daily in PvP" :p |

Cant remember which thread but some lucky GM. Think he has either 3B or 30B in wallet to do reimbursements. |

most of which has been earned in the past month doing level 3 and storyline missions and getting decent implants as rewards |

Mission bonuses FTW.
I go from 0-300+-0 mil in a week or 2 doing missions, still was a bit upset a recent +4 inteli didnt even sell at 120m, thats a narsty side effect of jump clones. |

ebay :(
thankfully i have never needed to buy in game items for real life cash. I don't see the point in paying hard earned money for fictional items. But i used to be a mission wh-0re and got a couple of nice tech2 ammo bpo's a while go. biggest cash cow, imho is selling characters. Get a character with some nice skills and watch the cash roll in. |

lol yep, agreed here that alot of ppl get their money from ebay. Sad but true. I have a little over 1mill SP and have a whopping total of about 3mill isk from mining :) It's loads of fun though so I don't have to be rich I don't guess but man it would be nice. |

Gotta agree that being self made is way more rewarding then any ebay influx. Having a big cash donatation will end up in expensive tastes, and you'll just burn through it looking for more. Learning curve is there for a reason, too much too fast will just lead to disaster. |

I made 1 billion in about a month without licking a single roid. I just did many lvl 3 missions, or rather my drones did (pre rmr domi) with specific agent rewards in mind. All in empire too  |

Holy toast. And I've been *****ing level IV agents and haven't made near half that. |

Whats really funny is i didnt even have to do much. just be ensuring my scout drone skill was low (or whatever skill increased drone range) i just parked my domi clear of buildings, aggroed everything in a specific order, launched drones, turned on first med rep and went off for cup of tea.
Then I would come back and keep an eye, turning on the second med rep as needed.
It was boring yes, but i was able to do other things at the same time, so did not hurt the brain too much with endless repetition. |

Thats probably because you were chasing faction ships for zillions of LP, whereas i was earning 130mil per 15k lp... and with that i totally give away what i was doing and maybe help someone take a break from mining or raven spammage :p |

Why not? I think about 8 of them over the course of a month is frequent enough dont you? I even kept and trained one because i was gaining them faster than i could sell.... |
