i paid for 4 accounts fairly easily with isk by doing a combination of semi-afk mining operations (ie id watch tv/movie), mission running, manufacturing cruise missiles and trading


1M ISK = 3fg right?

How much ISK is needed to pay for a subscription for 1 month?

Someone already answered this further up. You need 300 million isk to pay for a month, and 1 million isk costs around 3fg.

And yes, you can forget about earning many millions during trial. I will bet you need to play for at least a few months before you can think about earning enough ISK to pay for subscription.

Last I checked it's between 250-275m per month. Which is only a couple days of good solid mission running in empire. It's entirely possible to do that within the first few months of training.

You dont exactly die in eve.

You are a human inside a capsule called POD, which can fly without a ship, but ofc you will use a ship for w/e you wanna do.
If under any condition someone destroys your ship, you will remain in space on your pod, in some cases out of high security space, ppl can lock on your pod and destroy it (that is if you dont warp away before they lock on you), you will then show up inside the station where you got your clone activated.

This can happen for many reasons in highsec or even for more reasons in lowsec and 0.0 systems.

I'd like to exapnd on iNUKE's response on death in Eve....

The "role playing" response is: You're a genetic clone that interfaces the computers in your ship sorta how in the movie matrix you access the computers, with plugs directly in your brain. You're what's called a capsuleer, and capsuleers are "immortal" life is assured by medical clones of yourself. Your physical mortal body resides floating in a goo substance inside a protective emergency pod which docks inside the larger ships you fly in the game. Upon ship destruction (or if you manually eject from the ship in space) you enter your pod. Your pod can also be destroyed. Upon compromise of the pod's structure an emergency download of your neural structure begins instantly sending your current brain map to your medical clone backup in whichever station you've picked to keep it in. Provided you've bought a high enough quality clone to keep all your knowledge (skill points) you suffer no skill loss on death, if you didn't have a sufficiently good clone you will loose skill points on death.

Also note that unlike other games that coddle and protect you from death and it's consequences, eve does NOT. You are not safe in any system anywhere, and can be attacked at any time by anyone. In high security systems there are active police drones that quickly respond to kill your attacker if it's unlawful, but it does not assure you won't be killed before they arrive. They provide consequences for illegally attacking you not protection from it.

Likewise you suffer also a tangible monetary loss for death, you have to buy a new medical clone upgrade to make sure if you die again you don't loose skill points, and as you get more skilled that becomes expensive (mine is 20 million each), and if you have any neural implants those are lost on death also the complete loss of your ship and all cargo and fitted modules. There is an insurance payout for the ship but that is designed to only pay out a fraction of the value of the base ship, not the cargo (next expansion will "fix" the discrepancy between T1 ships and their cost vs insurance payout, right now some ships you make money if you die in it).

So, unlike other games that protect you from pvp and prevent any monetary loss from death, eve is harsh and cruel. You should learn very early on about death and loss in eve.
