• I was hunting a Wyvern with my hunting sig in lowsec and managed to catch this Wyvern recently. He was moving POS to POS but was not travel fit so it was a relatively easy catch, ransomed him for 20billion and got ~11billion of loot.
  Lots of locators and clean alts are used to do stuff like this so any isk dropped is always good, the last Wyvern i caught was fully unfit.

One item with sentimental value for me is the Shadows in my hangar, I got them from killing a faction titan, the Komodo, where I was the tackler and the FC. Sadly the Komodo was my friend from a previous alliance :).
I've also kept the Nightmare that dropped from his Komodo too, and appropriately named it "Looted from a Komodo"

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+.

By far my best kill this year was unfortunately my friends Komodo. Flying with AKC and coordinating drops like this has been some of the most fun things to do every year, killing trillions and baiting out response fleets etc.

Abusing the demand for NEW stuff!

Most recently I have been making a lot of ISK off of making and selling the new Breacher skillbooks and Cenotaphs. With a few logistics tricks and running a buyback within my alliance I am able to very effectively turn a near 50% profit margin, all with only needing to take 5 gates per trip. Within my alliance I buy Encrypted Infomorphs in Wicked Creek for Jita buy, then with our courier service I move those to Jita, then I bridge my Viator fully expanded to Turnur, and gate into Zarzakh. The trick in Zarzakh is you are able to be cloaked while trading your infomorphs, making the Viator the PERFECT ship. With full expanded rigs and lows you can fit enough infomorphs for a Cenotaph, and 6 skillbooks, totaling about 7 billion isk for what is currently 12.5billion on Jita sell orders. So far I have managed to sell 3 full Cenotaph sets, my first for 21 billion, second for 18 billion and third most recently for 16 billion. In addition to that due to some weird market behaviour I managed to buy 12 skillbooks for less then 500 million and resell them for between 1.5 and 2.5 billion each.
The introduction at downtime tonight will likely vastly change this market, none of us know how much the supply of Encrypted Infomorphs will change, or if there will be other nerfs or buffs to deathless ships.

With the Cenotaph I decided to go "heavy" shield, with high grade nirvanas and relatively full tank mids, I do 1950 DPS on paper, with 1000 of that being the HP/s the Breacher pod does. After some testing I am preferring double gyrostab on the Cenotaph instead of 1 Ballistic 1 Gyro since it is higher DPS.
When I originally bought the Cenotaph I had got it for such a cheap price, and did not realize they were 20 billion isk on market so I did not put as much bling as maybe I should have, just using abyssals I had sat in random cans in Jita and in my staging.

After getting to test out my Cenotaph earlier tonight I am amazed by its preformance. Against 4 dreadnoughts we caught I did over 600,000 raw damage. More then the next nearest redeemer by over 3 times.
