If you want to have CAPITAL SHIP then face the dreaded tradeing.
Not true. Sure, the less amount of money you'll be able to use to keep your VHF or Gunboat afloat, but your Cruise disruptors, mines, and other ammo and batteries and bots will eventually run out, and you'll have to use that cash to re-supply yourself. As I said, sure, they'll last longer, but you WILL eventually run out of money.
I don't remember who said to get convoys, but that's all well and good, but it's hard to find people to convoy with, espically smugglers in this day and age. I have friends, but they're all busy doing their own things (like Boss out killing people in Iota on his Marduk). Or, if you ask in system, you get an lolwut moron who doesn't know the difference between RP and his...well...you know.
