I want to pay for the GTCs with ISK. What is the best strategy to get many ISK (around 300m per GTC I think) quickly?
Thanks a lot =)

Ok... I understood nothing :D
I suppose L4 = Level 4. I doubt I will be able of doing those at the beginning? What is t2? Wouldn't mining be a better source of income?

Mining in hi sec is as slow income as milking a cow with herpes.

tech 2 modules is a upgrade of regular modules, much more expensive, much much better. There is also named modules that is slightly better then tech1 but not neccesarily more expensive. Ofc you can run missions with t2 modules, just that it will be slower.

Now here is what you do, run lvl 1 missions until you can buy and fly a destroyer. Strap guns on it and continue, now missions will only take a few minutes each. When you can afford a cruiser, do LVL2 missions, they are slightly harder with better income. Don't bother looting or salvaging the wrecks in either L1 or L2 missions since its now worth the time. Once you can sit in a Battlecruiser and use medium guns you'll be able to do L3 missions, now this is where the good income starts. You should have a tractor beam and salvager on ur ship to increase income. Loot all cruiser/battlecruiser wrecks, sell the loot. You should keep on running L3 missions for quite some time, since you can do L4 missions in some bc's too, you should get familiar with them. And train for t2 modules while flying bc. Look up builds on www.battleclinic.com

So it's impossible to pay ur first couple of months game time with ISK if you're on a new character Sorry.

Depending on your ethical standpoint...you can salvage and scoop the leftovers from ratters. If you can make your way to low-sec space, you will run the risk of being demolished by any number of pvp-types, but if you are sneaky enough you can probably cover your costs relatively quickly. In my first month I just cruised around picking up table scraps, but every so often you will find an item that sells for 250-500k. I was able to cover a plex after about 3 weeks and had trained enough skills to actually collect bounties on my own smaller rats.

Find an easy high sec static deadspace complex (google where they are) and farm it during off hours. Probably one of the best legitimate sources of income a person can have in a frig/destroyer. Make sure to run some missions first though, to get a feel for the game mechanics and such.

With extreme luck this might be the best way.

Okay... I'll do the missions first, then check out your ideas and my corps'.

I got an Amarr for military, they told me it was best. What skills should I train to start? I was told Gunnery to 3, Amarr Frigate to 4, Space Management or something like that to 2, to be able to use the Harbringer.
Is that any good?
