How much would you like to earn per hour?
Why isn't 25-30 million enough?
You want to get more? Organize a mining op.
Can't be assed? Ah what a shame.
I wouldnt say that trade routes don't bring enough profit. There are great ones, semi great ones and low ones where noone bothers you though.
But I know there's a good living to make in more than few factions + smugglers + whatever.
Please tell me what routes do you do, why do you take that route exactly and how much would you like to earn per week?
I mean, hour a day of trade = 30million if you cant make an effort to mine around.
Lets say most of you don't work, so you can do a run in the morning, run in the evening. 60million.
A day. Multiply it by 5 days, because lets say you only want pvp on weekends, no trades. Thats 300million.
4 weeks of that and you have a capital ship.
On top of that, some people do missions, pirate or terrorize around.
There are good incomes from that as well.
To be honest, I would like to earn around 50 million an hour. If I could, I would like to earn 100 million per week.
I have tried miners now, twice. I still have my second attempt miner as well. Shooting rocks does not seem to appeal to me, however, I tried to set up an operation. Got around two loads of it done, then timezones, lack of contact, and so on. Basically, relying on other people for me to make credits does not seem to work. Especially since I work, and my hours are sporadic. (However, obviously, I am lackadaisical and not up to the effort.)
I do Cardamine and Slaves when it comes to trading. In my smuggler. I do random, always-changing routes in my Zoner Guard. When push comes to shove, especially in the face of the nerfing of Zoners, I am not going to play a corporation trader. At this point in time, I believe I never will. (Oh, and I occasionally do the Slaves and Alien Organisms route if I ever log on to the shared ZAS~ liner.)
Between work and other FL commitments, like playing on factionalised characters, reading various skype chats to work out what needs to be done, like the OHC one, and writing RP, either on the forums, or on one of the 9001 notepads lying in my cupboard, I struggle to find time to trade more than one hour, if that.
PVP rarely happens for me. I do fly around a bit though.
