Recently I have been ransoming jump freighters, I've gotten (split between 4 people) about 40billion so far in a week. We use metenox's passive income to cover our SRP and all of the loot and ejections are pure profit.
After a jump freighter is tackled we get out the book of "how to ransom a JF" by Missy Lorelai and begin the process, from "you don't want this on your kb! people will know you are a JF pilot and gank you!" to "for 50% of the collateral and ship we will contract this back to you in highsec"
Overall my lowsec hunting has made me over 200billion, with 1 Aeon ejection, 2 Nyx ejections, a few JFs, carriers, dreads, and marauders. Along with the loot from many dead JFs. In just 1 week we killed 200b and looted 40+.
I really enjoy looting, but while it can be very lucrative, the profit is not reliable. Nevertheless, if you find the really good wrecks, several hundred million can fill your cargohold within seconds!
I also made a lot of ISK from acting as a broker. Over the time, I was able to make a few good contacts and I have access to large amounts of various LP. This gives me the possibility to negotiate large volume trades and make around 5-10% profit. These trades give my wallet a welcome boost every now and then.
The funds needed to arrange the trades as well as the necessary contacts make this not the most new player friendly income source, but the large amount of ISK gained in one or two transactions always makes it worthwhile. Of course, the scam factor is a risk you need to take into account for every single situation.
Hunting down pirates with large bounties on their heads is a method of mine. Joining in on events where bounties spike, which demands combat prowess and insider knowledge on where I locate these high-value targets.
Understanding which regions or systems are hotspots for pirate activity or where events with high bounties are likely to occur. Nullsec, wormhole space, or certain low-sec areas are common hunting grounds.
This method of earning ISK carries risks; engaging in combat might cost my ships and, consequently, money. Yet, for adept PvP players, the payoffs can be significant, including bounty earnings, valuable loot, and to boost my standing amongst my peers.
That sounds interesting, by pirates you mean other players? Or do you hunt officer rats?
If it is about players may I ask how you get your contracts? I mean, after CCP removed the ingame bounties, it became so much more difficult to get reliable deals. Those events seem useful though.
I myself are a PvP player, so I am curious to hear more about how to make ISK in the merc business :)
Both whatever I can get my hands on, do you have a group? Faction?
