Me and a few of our coporation members were running a smalltime pirate gang of only 5 medium ships "largest ship was T1 fit BS". Anyways I warped to a belt with a scorpion in a .4, 37km away. I cancel the order to follow me since he's far away but can't stop one friendly caracal from coming.
I open conversation and ask the scorp pilot if he wants to join our gang while stalling for time. Eventually I get within 7.5 km and the caracal within 20km. Boom 3 points of scram, the rest of our gang shows up and begins pounding away. I get the rest of the gang to stop firing and ask for a ransom of 20 mil since he wasn't likely to give any good crap anyways.
Normally this wouldn't be worthy of a thread but here's the kicker. He refuses the ransom and instead of self destructing or getting himself blown up for insurance he ejects from his Scorpion leaving it for us and killing any chance of him getting insurance. Stating that "20 mil isn't worth it for any of YOU" and that "I have more isk then any of you could ever imagine". He then proceeds to eject and leave a 60 mil ship behind for us on a 20 mil ransom :-S.
Funnier yet when we look at our new ship it was fit with the following.
4x heavy 'limos' launchers
2x Large shield extenders
Xlarge shield booster
2x Large armor repairers
multispec ECM
Afterburner
2 WCS "we had 3 points between me and caracal"
and best yet, 2 CCC rigs worth about 40 mil
I don't know why, but somehow I suspect his source of "more isk then you can imagine". |

is very odd he gave u a 60mil ship rather than a 20mil bounty :)
its the one good thing about isk buyers, they make us richer in the long run :)
also he cant be that rich, else why would he be ratting lol |

I don't know why, but somehow I get the distict feeling this guy's ISK isn't exactly as legitimate as ours.
Erm...why? Seems like a few hours work tops to earn all that. Now if it was a capship that he ejected from and left behind... |

He claimed to have more isk then any of us in the gang could imagine. Yet he flew that, poorly. He ejected and gave us a 60 mil ship rather then paying a mear 20 mil ransom, or even collecting the insurance on his own ship. He didn't even run during the 30km I had to travel to get within scram rnge. Are you really not suspicious of where that "tons of isk" came from? |

Not really, you can make a bil in half a week of running lvl4s in a Raven 8 hours a day. I carrier jumped some of the named 0.0 loot I'd been saving and not refining for a few weeks and it sold for 3/4 of a bil. Not to mention you are relatively immune to attack ratting in a semi-stabbed cloaking+logging Raven in 0.0 but can rake in the bucks, even in you don't loot. Making ISK in EVE is easy and doesn't require too much intelligence, just patience and resistance to being bored out of your skull for a while. There's also semi-passive ISK earning like datacore farming. And all that's not even counting market trading which requires 0 knowledge of ship PvP, just some economics and math knowledge. And most people not familiar with EVE PvP ARE very trusting. In the end PvP is a way to destroy ISK, not to make it. You can make ISK off your adversary but one way or another ISK is removed from the game (unless you can ransom). You don't need to be good at PvP to make ISK at all, in fact for 90% of EVE PvP population that's where they blow their ISK, not make it. Resorting to buying ISK is not needed. It's just the lazy persons way out. Most people in EVE have no clue of how to PvP and make stupid decisions when faced with a PvP situation, doesn't make em ISK buyers. |

1st of all...Just because he has more isk than you could imagine doesnt mae him an intelligent pilot. Nor does that mean he has to fly the most expensive fittings in the game. He was ratting in a 0.4 System, you expect him to have cruise or torps fitted? 2nd of all...your comment about "arent you suspicious where all that isk came from" is debatable at BEST. If you are making accusations about another player "unlawfully" obtaining ISK, you SURE AS HELL better have support. This "story" contains nothing less than EPIC FAIL. |

I can make a bill in a week of missioning, and I wonder into low sec all the time to LOSE tech 2 fitted ships, drakes, scorpions, covie's whatever... SO it is possible for him to have quite a bit of ISK and not care about giving up a ship... i woulda fought just cause ejecting is kinda well.. boring lol... |

First of all, SO SORRY TO THE OP FOR THREAD JACKING. Just a small question, 1 billion of isk in a week? Sorry, but i am a MAJOR NOOB here, with 1.6 mil in sp, i am a lil punk kids compare to you guys. I guess my question is how to get to your lvl of isk making from mission? Is it mission plus salvage? Or just ratting in 0.0? Again, sorry to the op, and I am not trying to flame anyone, or try to get flame, just that i think i am doing something wrong with my mission running right now. I can barely make 4 mill in 1 week straight of missioning. Can someone shed some light on this poor soul? I am just hoping of learning few new technique of mission running from all the wise and OLD  pirates from this forum. |

Depends on what missions your doing and what level and where you rat: They are talking about grinding level 4's in a raven whereas your prolly doing lvl 2's or lvl 1's. (the higher the level the harder they are and the better the payout) Ratting is all based around where and how too....Caldari rats (guristas) have the best bounties some reaching almost 2million isk a ship (non-officer) Also you can loot and salvage all the rats too thus further increasing profit. But you are in 0.0 so you might end up dieing...alot. The greater the risk the bigger the reward  (hope that helps a little) |

I grind lvl 4's salvage EVERYTHING and loot ALL mods, named stuff gets sold, none-named gets repro'd and then the mins are sold. I have made as much as 200 mill in one day of missioning.
BUT I digress...

dont end up like me man! the easiest way to make isk as a nub is to rat. you go into low sec straight away. then when you´re in an as or inty you go into 0.0 and ninja rat. no lvl 1 or 2 mission can match that kinda money. 20 or 30 mil a night easy. plus you´ll have a load of fun dodging alliance cops trying to get you:) that´s what i did. and if you do the same you´ll be in my place soon. doing lvl 1 missions in your "bc of doom", wanting to kill yourself. the thing is, the best way to make money solo is to mission. it´s boring as hell, but as you get older you´ll develop more expensive taste´s and ratting wont support them. lvl 4 missions will. talking as a lousy, and not very active, pirate here though. if you´re a skilled pirate, you´ll get all the income you need to survive through pirating. also, the very best way of making isk is to make some friends and not go solo TO THE OP thats pretty strange behavior from that pilot. and saying you have a lot of isk isnt the same as havin a lot of isk:) |

Regarding "Not paying ransom but ejecting from a ship" - not all ransoms are honoured. After a convo masking your approach I think it's normal that he didn't believe in your ransom statement.
Regarding the fact "why hadn't he self-destructed/succumbed to concentrated fire"
2 possibilities
a) His implants were worth more than 60 mln. ISK
b) Adrenaline rush over a PVP engagement got the better of him.
Both of these, as you see, are reasonable (and understandable) AND don't imply E-bay or GTC-sales. |

well - maybe he didn't trust you... afterall you started talking crap about him joining your gang and such
so he lost a little isk but you didn't get any killmails... Still looks weird but who knows.

If the OP was Chribba or Verone or another EVEcelebrity most people here would probebly bow to them and then suck their manhood.
To the OP, yea that guy was really dumb. Doesnt matter if he got billions of ISK, its about ones reputation, who the hell ejects and gives the enemy their ship rather then paying a small ransom? |

My guess he didn't want a killmail to show up other boards as it would ruin his reputation no matter the value of his ship. So what you should have done was to pop his ship in order for a killmail to be generated anyway  Or you could have given the ship to me.  |

Sold it with rigs for a good price. Also I found out the reason he ejected was because he didn't have an up-to-date clone. He wasn't a bad guy on chat this time around. I think he was just making a poor attempt to try and save face with that comment. |

Why must he be sure as hell? What's the guy gonna do? EvE-sue him for EvE-libel? Hey you know what? He can add me to the lawsuit to, for this: Not only is it my opinion that he RMTs ISK, it is also my stated opinion that he cannot achieve "personal satisfaction" unless he kills a dog. |

I'm not sure who you're making fun of more with that comment  . Anyways I tried to leave room for "no #$##ing idea what he's talking about". Though the first I didn't say it well "editied that". Like I said I spoke to him and it sounds more like he made a REALLY bad attempt to save face. Even that is humorous is it not? |
