Market PVP

Well we have spoken about this a few times - there is a current thread on the forums from a guy called Riddic

Apparently well known - he is trying to make 1 Bill ISK in one month - starting with a new char that has no help

Is it possible?

Remember we even discussed before about a new char in their trail period earning enough ISK to play the game for free, by buying Game Time Cards - 30 minths for 190 ISK

Hmmmm

Well some of my thoughts

1. Most people on Eve like pvp and action - they like to fight with each other or npcs
2. Charisma - the perdominant attribute for learning trade skills - mostly discouraged on the forums as "not much use"
3. Traders have Billions - but no one knows their secrets
4. After a recent mission, I was told by more senior members of my corp to just sell all the loot and split the cash three ways (therefore not getting the best price for items)

Well the current war going on has allowed me ample time to test some of these theories - and I am beginning to see the possibilities

A quick calculation on Excel can give you some interesting things

A 5% per day profit on 100mill invested over 28 days gives you more than 250mill profit
A 5% per day profit on 150mill invested over 28 days gives you more than 380mill profit
A 5% per day profit on 200mill invested over 28 days gives you more than 510mill profit
A 5% per day profit on 250mill invested over 28 days gives you more than 630mill profit

There is a reason why many of the business community say

"It takes money to make money"
"Sell a 90 GTC for ISK and you will never have to pay to suscribe again"

The question is what to invest in right?

More info as I get it

Another way to look at this issue

There is quite a lot of good/trustworthy/honest people on this server - offhand I will mention some

OPR8R
IOC CA
SMG Argos
SMG Burro
CFPD Guns
LP Canoso
TRF Huor
CFPD Fixer
BG Doc
BG Slayer
Fallen Ryder
SMG Kyron
LP Privs
SMG Simba
CFPD Sev
BG Si

I can mention more, much more - this is just my opinion

Why would people like these consort/acquaint themselves with cheaters?

Why would people like these allow any cheater in their clan?

Any cheater would not only be a reflection on their clan but on themselves

Some of these guys show me a lot of integrity

Yes - I love icecream - but cant have much due to my .......condition.

Anyway Madame - welcome to your first SWAT Flame War - I hope you enjoyed it - souveneers can be bought at the front desk - and I LOVE FLAME T-Shirts also available in exchange for 20,000 Prisoners or 500 Secret Government Agent Lists.

You can also look forward to your I GOT FLAMED T-Shirt - hopefully not anytime soon though.

Now as we have some unfinished business - do you have the guts to meet me on our 'date' in one of the Omega's or are you happy to never get paid the 95mill I still owe you?

Copy

Paste

Thanks Kyron

So it wasnt luck

I remember the Simba thing from my old days

Its most generous for you to share some of your secrets

Pirates? Let's kidnap him and take him into D for further questioning!!!

Laser can only leave when

1. He invades Deadulus and steals one of our ships
2. Kills all 7 LP leaders on the way out
3. Sets a detonator/mine on Dead gate so it crashes and blows up entomning all LPs in there forever
4. Makes his way to Kurasi space with 100 nuclear weapons on board
5. Enters Hiruga with all its mines
6. Detonates his ship in the sun in Hiruga - taking out all bases in there and making all the dimonds radioactive
7. Escapes with his life by activating a mobile warp gate which sends him back to Planet Blood just in time to escape destruction
8. Writes a book about his life story (including the mini cabbing and 2 birthdays) and retires on the procedures
9. Calls his book "How to deal with small problems"

Kyron is a definite cheat as I have only beaten him once in about 4 Trillion attempts

OR

As I like to think - Lucky Kyron with his lucky skills - always beating me with his Luck +10 extra damage guns

OR

He could just be better than me.

Nah - I prefer to believe in explanation one.

It's funny - when I was in IOC there was some suspicion that Fallen was a clan of cheaters

What is more funny - when I switched clans - breaking 15 server rules in the process from IOC Az to LP Maudib

My best friend and role model and idol and hero and compassionate freelancer Angmar thought I was a cheat!!

That was quite funny.

He even asked me flat out in Rheinland if I was a cheat

LOLOLOLOLOL

Another update

Well I bought my first Game Time Code (190mill) - so effectively I am playing this month for free - not bad as I started playing properly in November - my main task now is to make enough in game cash to purchase another GTC for the following month.

I went on another level 4 mission that effectively cost me 15mil in repairs which major p me off - I will be sticking to level 3 missions now - apparently a few experienced people do this anyway as its quicker to comeplete missions and move on to the next one than with level 4s

Saw Dop a few times and had a good chit chat with him - Laser has left cos he was only on trial - but I reckon he did an excellent job exploring the various ways that cash can be made.

I am curerntly in hiding at the moment - in a region called the Citadel. This is because another Corp has declared war on us and like all pirates everywhere (I should know) they only fight people they know they can beat -

Some of my corpmates got taught all about pvp and lost some serious cash / ships/ equipment.

Like a coward I stayed out of the fight, but last night I just passed one of our opponents in space for a few secs and flashed him my teeth and did a runner -

Now due to this war - we are forming an alliance with another corp - this means we may have to move our entire corp ops to a different location - fair enough I suppose - its not too far away

Looking back - my generous nature - has cost me about 70mill + - I need to stop that and concentrate on myself for a bit -

In Eve there is no way on knowing the financial merits of anyone else and surely some people lie about their wealth - hoping some poor sap will give them some cash.

We have a spy in our Corp - we know - and I think he knows we know - otherwise I cant explain why a 4 year old char can ask simple and pathetic questions about skills - and his last question was a complete joke LOL

"Is 900,000 the same as 9 Billion?"

My other mission is to look into this quote

"It is possible to make Billions of ISK in Eve without ever leaving the station"

Rest assured I wont be telling you about this if my plan works

Mwahhahahahahaha

Student exchange

Well I am glad we have sort of tidied up our act before OP gets back and see's the usual flame on SWAT - this time it seems we police ourselves a bit better and some quick editing (including by myself) has made it look a bit better than it was. Phew.

A bit like naughty school kids playing around and tidying up just as their parents open up the front door.

To the point:

Why dont we set up some student exchange programmes that allow some pilots to see how the other half live?

I sincerely believe friendship is very important and I think if we had more of this between pilots of opposing clans - the server maybe a better place to be.

Sure there will be many people saying this is a bad idea due to Corporate secrets and spies, tactics and training - blah blah

Well how much of that will you pass on to a rookie member of your clan anyway?

I personally think all that's overated anyway - numbers seem to be the main thing here and it goes up and down - lots of LPs, less cops, lots of cops, less pirates - the seasons change and the numbers go up and down.

Some people may say I will never let a member of LP come into my clan - well we will never get past that will we?

Sure my clan is where my heart is - and I love em all - but I would never put LP ahead of SWAT cos without SWAT there would be no LP and without SWAT I would not have met some good mates and real interesting people

Anyway - just an idea

Another war?

I cant believe it.

I am sure there are some arms dealers in the middle stoking up the fire and selling arms to both sides -

I also recall OP saying the cheat protection will be improved in 1.8

Anyway Laser - I recall you telling me once it was impossble to cheat on the server

Cmon Laser - dont give em satisfaction

PM me their names and I will hunt them for you - or with you against them.

All things are possible.

At the moment I am trying to earn enough ISK to get you a GTC in eve so you can play another month - dont make me change my opinion of you.

DOM Laser and No Mahd join forces mate against those dastardly pirates and mercs?

This is true

During the Sol blockade

BGs used to take the BMG from Calif to Wheel of Sirius via Alaska - I never saw them go thru Cust.

Trust?

I could quite happily say I trust most people in SWAT - there is a relationship built here - even between opposing factions - but everynow and again you can see examples of mistrust.

See this following thread about something that happen in Eve -

About a merc contract (1 Billion ISK)
About a year long operation
About building trust over one whole year
About the virtual assassination of a Corp and its CEO

http://eve.klaki.net/heist/

As its hard to find on the Eve forum - see the following links about trading/hauling in Eve

Other players dont like to give away their secrets - but there are enough hints in these threads to get you going -

I did this last night before going online and putting sword to some nasty ruffians in space loitering with intent outside X303 - damn kids should be at home in Tarsus doing their homework.

Anyway, this new update of 4 Trillion files is much quicker than the older one we used to have - you wont even have time to make yourself a cup of coffee - but you need to do it twice as all the files dont download first time - the second time it just takes a few secs.

Glad to hear u made it out alive Flash

My corp is organising a Frig only pvp event over the next few weeks - it should be fun and very educational - some basic rules about the equipment allowed I think - but nothing excessive - ie we wont allow the very very very most experienced players use the very very very best equipment - look forward to a report on this soon.

re other things going on - I would refer you to this web page on the Eve Forums

http://myeve.eve-online.com/in…p?a=topic&threadID=513248

Navbot

A player created programme that he has now released as Open Source - or whatever that is called.

It uses exported market files to generate trade routes -

It is somewhat limited by the games own mechanics - but I have used it for a few days - and it is an excellent piece of software - that runs in ur system tray - but is integrated also into the Eve in-game browser - done in a real nice way.

For those people that can afford and pilot a hauler (paid accounts) or ships with large cargo space - (maybe trial accounts) it offers a very good way to make cash -

At this moment - I am not sure if it can sift and make decisions better than a person, but it certainly found me some interesting trade routes that generated handsome amounts of cash -

The Eve universe has welcomed Laser and Flash!!

I have sort of hooked up with them in space and made my introductions,

Old friends Minnie Mouse has created a German speaking channel for old mates and I think both Laser and Flash have been made welcome there.

Some Crossfire denizens may recognise Wie Jetz - who I also saw in the German channel

My update?

PVP

Despite what Evonians say - I dont think Eve is really a pvp game - why? Cos it is so expensive.

Imagine taking on those dastardly cops from CFPD - and everytime one of them gets a lucky shot and takes you down - you not only lose your Shroud, but ALL the equipment it contains - how expensive would that be?

How time consuming would it be to fully refit a new Shroud?

But apparenly pvp elevates EVE to new levels - but maybe just a playground for Billionaires - maybe one day I will see.

Play EVE for free

Yeah we spoke about this before - is it possible? Yes!!!

I think if you specialise and go down one of the main paths - by 1-3 months - you can produce enough income using your speciality to buy a 30-day gamecard for 180-185 mill - that is how much they go for - just over 6mill per day.

Your options would be

Mining
Trading/Hauling
Missions

On weekends, I was making 10mill in less than 2 hours if I got on just after the restart and hauled stuff around!!

I plan to do this in Feb - so I will report back my success - or lack of it.

Pod Killers

Oh how I hate these Mothers - if you play EVE - this is gonna happen to you - it's just a matter of time.

These guys not only destroy your ship - but they kill your life pod (which is worthless to them) - cos they are pure and plain EVIL SCUM

Yes it happen to me !!

Always make sure your clone is up to date and has more Skill Points than you have - ALWAYS DO THIS!!

IF YOU DONT - It will be the BIGGEST MISTAKE you ever made in EVE

Losing a ship and all its equipment is gonna make you mad - but losing a pod that is not cloned is gonna lose you 2-3 months of your time and you will be crying when that happens !!!

To avoid this - the best you can do is stay out of low sec space - stay in 0.5+ systems -

Trading

Last night I took my first step in proper trading by setting my first buy order.

This means I have began trading against other players rather than npc trading - it can be risky - but more rewarding.

Many players just sell stuff as quickly as possible - rather than looking for the best price - proper traders take advantage of this tendancy to make good money - it is the first step to being a Billionaire

Mwhahahahaha

Hah - I never realise you have a sense of humour

One of the best things you ever did was introduce me to some real good people - by inviting me to join your clan - I dont think - in my eyes - any mistakes you make will ever weigh more than that good thing you done for me.

If you want to talk about mistakes - why dont you - offline - talk to some of these old gents that are part of this community - I bet you 1 Trillion their mistakes would turn yours into grains of sand

And your leader - you know he is the best right?

First of all you are only like 11 and a half - so too young to take this responsibility on your shoulders.

Secondly - so what if you have made mistake? You think no one else has?

Thirdly - even if you had made a mistake - or feel you were not treated right - it's still no reason to leave your clan -

Fifth, sorry fourth, leaving a clan is big business matey - so if your angry - take time to cool down - if you are upset - take time to chill out and take a break - if you feel like you let people down - who cares? You are only 10 and a half and we all know this mod can bring out both the best and worst in us

Fifth - well I could go on but I wont.

Good fights Tyrael - maybe you should drink more herbal tea matey?

See me in Daedulus for our new selection - it's better than that SBC stuff - urrghhhh!!!

Whatever you decide - I will always want a kiss from you.
