I always enjoyed my time as a new bean. Can be hard to find your spot, but once you make some mates, good times ensure. And roaming was fun for a none pvp guy.
I've extensively done PvE ratting in nullsec Dronelands, it's how I funded myself during WWB2 and I still do it on occasion (though I mostly did it when the NBI ratter was an Algos and not a Vexor), and here's what I can advise for those of you joining us here to make sure you're getting the most of your ratting isk: 1) If you're ratting in MJ-5F9, you're frankly asking to die. You might think it's safe because that's where everyone is, but the opposite is true. The reason is that you should always have your local channel popped out and stacked as tall as it can be when in nullsec so you can see everyone in your current system, and if someone who's not blue or green or purple shows up you should get out of there lickety-split and back into station. MJ has 320 people in it at the time of writing, and you just can't see everyone in system with that many, so someone could be in system and sneaking up on you. Standing fleet can respond quicker, sure, but against a hunting Loki who knows what they're doing when you're in a Vexor that's not a fight I'd feel confident in. Even one jump out is infinitely better. 2) Standing fleet is always hungry for PvP, the main ESI corp in Horde requires 15 kills a month and many people are looking to get that in standing, and will usually respond if you www, but they're the angry mob with pitchforks of Eve. We often bite off more than we can chew, and sometimes we have trouble responding quick enough. If you aren't in fleet, though, we can't warp to you and we can't save you, so always make sure you're in fleet. Do this before undocking, as someone hostile could invite you to a fleet when you undock and when you join fleet warp you directly into their trap. 3) Vexors are very isk efficient because T1 cruisers are cheap, but they aren't the best way to get isk ratting. Your progression here is Vexor > Gila/Ishtar > Paladin. I recommend the Gila for style points, but it's generally considered not as strong as the Ishtar, whatever, you decide. These two ships use medium drones, Infiltrators for the EM damage, so be aware the frigate and destroyer rats will target your drones so they need to die first. Please note that the expected upgrades, the Myrmidon and Dominix, are not in here. That's because they can't clear the site any faster, are more appealing gank bait, and are harder to warp off which makes them more likely to die in emergencies. I do some ratting in a Myrm when I'm bored, but it's honestly trash isk. You can also consider using ranged missiles for ratting, a cruise fit Praxis or Raven or Typhoon can work for this, but drones are really the best way to go because you don't have to reload drones and also you don't have to think nearly as hard. The benefit of missiles, though, is because it's something you actively do you're less likely to miss someone showing up in local. Paladins are nice because EM/Therm are the two primary weaknesses of the rogue drones you'll be fighting. You may hear rumors of a ratting Oracle, and it's possible if you fit polarized pulse lasers, but it requires skills (in-game and player) that are pretty advanced in order to make it work. 4) The bunker types of drone hordes are a pain in the ass. They don't have as much isk, they can take longer, and the turrets fuckin hurt. Some people recommend you skip them outright and only do the better version. I won't recommend that because isk is isk, but you should be aware that even if you're speed tanking the turrets have good tracking and can hit out to like 100km, even my active tanked Praxis has trouble keeping up with that dps. It sucks. 5) If you see a rat spawn with a diamond symbol, get the fuck out of that anom and report its location to standing with the code "ddd" because that's an infested carrier and it will push your shit in. You need either a dreadnought or a bunch of friends in stealth bombers orbiting it at 500m to kill those things, and they can kill you if they breathe at you. 6) When you're done with ratting for a while, be sure to fly a combat ship in Standing sometimes to give back to the community. It's a good way to scratch the PvP itch, especially since there's no doctrine rules beyond not yolo'ing a bling-fit Vargur or anything.
I've thought of some more that should be known: ~Hordes are where the good money is, but Patrols are also viable if you for some reason can't run any Hordes at the moment. However, you'll need to approach them differently. The battleship rats in Hordes like to stay around 35km from your ship and shoot you that way, but the ones in Patrols like to get in knife fighting range before starting to shoot. This can present an issue, since you drones when set to aggressive will still only shoot ships that are shooting at you, and if you're speed tanking you could wind up accidentally staying out of range of the Patrol battleships forever. ~Rogue drones are buffer tanked, and do not rep. This is why running a Horde in a Vexor is viable, I'm pretty sure if you tried this shit in a Guristas Haven you'd get dunked on by the rats. ~Rogue drones do not drop loot, don't even try to find any. The only reason you would put down an MTU is if you wanted all the wrecks in one location for easy salvaging. Sentient battleships and infested carriers do drop loot, but they don't spawn very often so they're not worth worrying about. You'll know if a sentient spawns because there'll be some binary appearing in blue text in local chat to announce it, and you'll know if an infested carrier spawns by the fact that you're suddenly in a pod instead of a ship. To compensate for the lack of loot, rogue drones tend to have higher bounties attached to them. ~If you're making your own ratting ship, shield tank it. Even if it's supposed to be an armor ship, especially if it's an armor ship really. You should be filling your lows with DDAs to maximize your outgoing DPS and therefore your income. You don't need that strong of a tank for rats, especially if you're doing things like speed tanking a Vexor or range tanking a Raven. Speaking of the missile ships, even if the ship is kin locked, always use EM damage because that's what the rats are weak to.
@@emPtysp4ce I have a Active Shield Tanked Jackdaw that can 330dps @ 55km in sharpshooter(With Light MIssiles). Would 330dps be a viable amount to clear out there? I can fly an Ish, but I like maneuverability of tac dessys more (Easier to gtfo if jumped on/ Options to swap modes per situation.)
@ugib8377 I checked my old fits, and my passive tanked Gila that I used for semi-AFK ratting is simulated at 474 dps, which should give you an idea of what kind of damage numbers we mean. For science, I just took a Muninn I have with comparable dps numbers into a Horde, and it took me a minute and a half to kill one of the battleship rats. So you could do it as long as you pack enough missiles, I guess. Just make sure you're cap stable and that you always shoot the frigates first, they can scram/web you.
@@emPtysp4ce Thanks tons for the fast reply! I already have an app in. I'll probably use my Jackdaw to start until I get comfy out there. Then I'll look at bringing something a bit more purpose built. What kind of damage should I resist? Online resources for that are pretty vague.
Couple of suggestions: - Your vexor is flying T2 heavy drones. For new players, you likely wont have the skills to fly these, use Imperial Navy praetors instead. They cost about the same, have similar dps, and dont require high skills to use. - Id recommend flying 2 heavies, 2 medium, 1 light drone instead of 3 heavies. Total on-paper DPS should be the same with this configuration, but because you have med and light drones out, you should have better application. So your total effective/applied DPS should be better than 3 heavy drones, resulting in better applied DPS and isk/hr. - In this video, you rat in drone space. However, if you join PH and rat in non-drone space, you should also carry Mobile Tractor Units (MTU) with you to collect loot from the dead NPC ships. MTU's are not needed when fighting drones, as they dont usually drop anything of any value (faction spawns excluded). This loot is significant, and can make up 30% of your total income if you're killing NPC's other than drones. - The generally accepted upgrade path for ratting after a vexor is usually Myrmidon > Ishtar. You can find people who also suggest using a Praxis, Gila or Dominix, somewhere in that progression but those are less generally accepted by players. - Talk to somebody about your skill training plan. There are a number of skills that give you significant benefits to ratting that improve your dps and isk/hr. Not having the right skills or not training them out of ignorance can easily cost you 50% of your potential income, if not more. - Set your drones to focus fire and auto attack
Could you please give an example of which skills bring significant benefits to ratting? I asked around but didn't get many concrete answers. Are you just referring to drone skills in general and stuff?
@@sigmar40k For a Vexor specifically, I would look for Drone Interfacing 4, Gallente Cruiser 4, Heavy+Med+Light drone operation 3 to 4 each, Drone Sharpshooting + Drone Navigation 3 or 4. They are just drone skills in general, but specifically I would look for Drone Interfacing and Gallente cruiser whenever Im talking to a new player. New players who've never been talked to may completely miss Drone Interfacing as an important skill, and new players may not realize that the Vexor's cruiser bonus also contributes drone DPS which directly affects your isk/hr. Every now and again Ill also meet a new player who doesn't realize they're missing some of these skills and are losing at least 10% of their potential easy to skill into DPS, which means they're losing about 10% of their potential isk/hr. Beyond that, I would also ask the new player to bring up the exact fit they wanted to use in either pyfa or the in game fitting window and make sure that they have enough power grid and CPU to fit everything, but more importantly that they are cap stable. Ive had instances before where a recommended fit for a new player getting into their first ishtar died in a site because they ran out of cap, cos the person who recommended the fit didn't realize they lacked the skills needed to make the fit cap stable.
Not a horde player, but from Slyce. We use the same trick with vexors and ishtars to earn AFK cash. Those ships do get blown up, but ironically more are lost to sentient carriers than people. And you nearly always end up in a net positive, so you just get a new one and the party continues. A lot of people run this during work hours, so that they could buy something expensive and do something stupid during their actual free time. It's a game after all. As for Horde, I've been in their standing fleets. Very chaotic, but also very fun if you are not afraid to lose your ship. Definitely seems like a fun community.
I just maxed an alpha and want to take the dive into Omega. This video sold me. I applied. Hope to start earning again. Thanks for the video! - Charles F Taylor
just keep having funn with the game. dont start to stress so much about making enough isk for omega you turn it into a second job. however if you goal is to pay for the game with isk, i strongly suggest you try save up for 3months worth of omega, because its a lot cheaper then paying on a monthly basis. also remember ger some skills for PI, can make you good isk pasivly wile doing other stuff. you dont make much on it, but should make enough to help you quite abit on whats needed to run the omega
@@goldeneagle256 yeah for sure. I more so meant that this gave me the urge to buy omega and go all in on an account for the first time. Horde has been extremely nice to me and helped me a ton
I joined Horde around 6 months ago, the experience is totally different than what I expected. The amount of support, and programs they have to me is incredible. I had played for 2 years in High Sec, so I had experience in the game. But as a total new player you would learn multiple different things through their classes they offer, and they run often. They also cover a lot of different topics. The experience in Horde even coming from high sec and small null experience, is something unique I believe. Its slightly overwhelming at first, but patience and you can go from 0 to hero in Horde.
I was in Horde for a moment, and any classes I saw were last minute. All made up on the fly. Hard to do when RL gets in the way a lot so it wasn’t for me.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb i did it with one Paladin and netted around 450m/Hour While taking around 20 min per Escalation. So i was able to do two escalations an Hour while using the Keys for the shortcut and including the travel times
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb yeah you can make even more when you buy the escalations cheaper or buy ones that are almost expired so you get them basically for free.
Thats a great video and so true about the care packs of free stuff you get. One day a few years back decided i wanted to try nulsec life and just happen to pick and join Pandemic Horde, figured would have a bit of visit down there in Null, hang around a bit and see what all the mystery was about then head back up to my hisec corp predominantly mining. Never knew about the "care packs" until i first docked in the Beanstar and one of the Supporters in chat dropped it all on me, I was like you for real? thought it was pretty cool getting that stash of ships and skillbooks for free. i did all those skillbooks , had a crack at flying all those freebies, then you realise hey all that really just opens doors to so much other stuff you can do so you start thinking about hanging around bit longer to do the next step and see how that goes, anyway still havent made it back to hisec , still learning stuff, and theres still just so much content.
I only can support the message of this video. I am a bean for three weeks now and I had a blast. I still feel very welcome and everyone is super helpful!
I have to say, if this is a recruitment video, it's working. I have been blown up by ph several times and am seriously considering joining. High sec is pretty boring. Thanks for the details, and enjoy your content
Do it! I've been in Horde for about four years and it's been by far the best experience I've had in Eve since starting in 2009. You can play as little or as often as you want and both the PvE and PvP opportunities are fantastic, not to mention industry, trading, hauling, and everything else the game has to offer. As I said in another comment, it's almost entirely drama-free, free from real-world politics (there's a rule), and bigot-free (also a rule; this was a problem for me in the past with other groups). It can be difficult to bond with people since it's such a huge alliance, but if you're in standing fleet regularly and speak up (definitely be on Mumble) you can start to make connections with others. Living in null sec is the best way to play Eve in my opinion, and being in Horde is a great way to do it.
It's not a recruitment video. No one from the horde was involved in that video or paid me for it. In the past, people have often asked me how and where to make ISK, also as a beginner. So after making "just" only PvP videos and some reviews, I thought I'd make one or two PvE videos. I was thinking about where I would start again, when i am 100 % new to the game. Who has the best benefits for me as a PvE player... so I took a closer look at Horde. For me, the following benefits were crucial: 1. Apply today, join tomorrow, very important benefit. I can join and leave without it taking weeks. 2. Free ships, free skillbooks. 2. Well-organized support. Ingame and on discord 3. No payback, they don't want anything in return from me or require me to fly a certain number of fleets. 4. Opportunity to sell escalations. 5. Standing fleet (active) protects me. 6. Active community, but i can also stay solo inside the alliance if i like. 7. A save system to do some afk ratting too 8. Ship replacement if i lost my Vexor ...those were the reasons. At the end of the day you wont get that in High sec. To put it dramatically, you could, as a new player, earn your money there and then just leave once you've made enough.
@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb I am sorry, I wasn't trying to say this was an actual recruitment video. I appreciate all the content and advice. Thank you!
great video , i know you don't much like pve but stuff like this is massively useful for newer players and so few content creators actually make stuff aimed at new players making everything as simple as humanly possible. o7, I think most null bloc's offer something similar but making it this simple is a huge bonus!
Well i am not sure. I think there is no other ally that accept alpha accounts in null, right? And so easy to apply....Anyways...no reason to stay in high sec right? So Horde offers the players an easy step in to null....
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb That'd be misinformation. Would highly recommend doing your own research instead of ingesting whatever propaganda Gobbins is throwing around this week. Brave (Brave Newbies), Goons (KarmaFleet), The Initiative. (Knock Knock.), LinkNet (LinkNet...), Fraternity (Fraternity Academy); all accept new players on alpha accounts. And there are many more. The only significant difference between PH and any of these for a new player is the amount of spin and lying to members that PH puts out on a daily basis in order to convince people to stay with them.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Deffo props to Horde for such an organized newbro support system. Although, to be fair, in my experience, if Ali doesn't do it, individual Corps tend to their own newbros. Almost any Null group I've encountered has a newbie support of some sort, so yeah - getting into null isn't nearly as hard as people tend to think.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb and a great introduction to everything EVE. Everybody should start at the end game, it a BIG waist of time from any other way. all the knowledge you get from those Nullsec corp. after you can look for Low-sec or even come back to high.
Horde is great for that kind of play style. In the main corporation (Pandemic Horde, Inc) there aren't even any minimum activity requirements, so you can play as little or as much as you want and not have to worry. It's a great way to at least try out null sec space for a while to see how it works for you while getting plenty of opportunities for both PvE and PvP. It's also almost entirely drama-free, politics-free (no real-world politics rule), bigot-free, etc. The only real downside is that in PH Inc. you're one of thousands, so it's not as easy to bond with people as in a smaller corporations (those are available in Horde, too, though). But in standing fleet you'll start seeing/hearing the same people regularly and can start to form connections with the regulars in your timezone.
My main character was in PH a long time ago, maybe a few months after I started playing. Wanted to be a miner but never got the groove of being in a place where you could die by huge rats in the belts, ect. Was krabby and wanted to be mining all the time. Eventually went back to high sec to carebear it out. Now that I've been getting back into the game after a few years and want to do more combat related things, I think you may have convinced me it might be time to return to PH and do it right. Also, I'm not sure why but you explaining this process is somehow much easier to follow/understand than most anyone else I've seen on youtube doing the same thing. Nice clear points!
It's hard to believe but true. In this tutorial, I'll show you how, even as an Alpha account with no money, no ship, and no skills, you can easily earn several billion a month. Sounds crazy, right? Yes, it is, and you don't need a single ISK to do it. How did you start making ISK when you began playing EVE Online?
I earned my first Bil diving WHs, and later doing Null Explo as well. Pretty decent income, for hardly any skill requirements, aaaand it teaches you a lot of valuable survival lessons. Deffo recommend. As for Null - it is a great place to make money for sure. Although my fav method was, instead of hacking myself, taking loot from any trespassers. Never regretted skilling into the Sabre. And as for the video - yes, getting into Null is nowhere near as hard as people seem to think. Nor is it nearly as dangerous. Sure, you will explode while you learn the inns and outs of Null sec, but those are lessons everyone needs to learn imo. If anything, being completely risk averse is what robs countless people of learning about many great aspects of Eve universe. Nobody ever said you have to stick to Null if you don't like it, but not even trying it out feels like a complete shame.
Good video. This is a great offer to take advantage of. If you stick with it, train into an Ishtar and join one of the alliances ESI Gated Corps. Personally I started out in High Sec and spent years there doing security missions, mining, and hauling.
I'm wondering, could you walk us through some of your hunts again? There are things you've brought up that have made me already change my gameplay. I like that you have considered the players new to the game, that's really cool. Fly Dangerously o7.
I watched this guide, applied to them. I was doing storyline and epic arc whenever i can while waiting. After two days passed, they rejected me. I wrote an application and referred to this guide as well.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb I'm sorry, i just shared my experience, didn't accuse you of anything if it sounds like that. A bit later while talking in rookie chat, someone sent me a mail with an application attached to it for the pandemic horde and a link which leads me back to here with a time-stamp at 2:05 , you might want to know. I explained my situation and he said " they might be accepting only omega accounts now". Regardless, thanks for guiding us, i might be in if it was a few months earlier, these are valuable tips and all i can do is to appreciate your efforts. Kind regards.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Maybe people exploited this so they had to take action. I might buy omega soon and I'll try to apply again, meanwhile training for t0 abyss. o7
just FYI for the curious. I made an alpha on 04/04, got the 1mill sp, did some career missions enough to get the 50k sp reward from air points, then put in an app. My app wasn't accepted until the next day so I continued running career missions for easy money. I was accepted into PH on 04/05 but accepted and moved after midnight on 04/06. It is currently 16:10 on 04/07 and I've already run 5 anoms and found 2 escalations which I've sold for 230mill isk. Escalations are RNGeezuz, I might not see one again for days.. but being 10% towards omega this soon? that's still a good % so far. - Korbin DALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS / Korben DALLAAAAS (i got it shortened)
also: until you hit that sp cap, it's actually cheaper and more sp/day to buy daily injectors, so i'll be doing that as i can afford them until i hit that 5m sp.
Update: Lost a vexor with 90mill in loot inside, doing dumbshit on a bubbled gate. Since that first post I finally got my 4th escalation. 6 days in and with only ratting a few hours a day and paying for 3 daily alpha injectors and I'm sitting at 500million, 1/5th of the way towards Omega (6x5=30 :D). Does it help that I'm a total nerd, love this game, and know how to play drone boats? Yes. Will I help anyone that asks for it in the newbeans channel? Absolutely.
@@Recline17 Day 8 in PH not much news. Almost lost a shitty thorax going against blingy peeps. Despite 4 daily injectors I'm just about to crack 1 billion, slowly closing in on the halfway point. The goal isn't to get and keep omega going, it's to be able to afford omega every once in awhile as I train up the alpha only skills at 2x speed. Like I said, you gain more sp/day using daily alphas, but that's only if you remember to use them daily. Only real news I have to post is: Just run Drone Squads, the others aren't worth the effort.. squads is fast, patrol can be annoying, and horde* is just nuts.
(yesterday) Day 15: Finally got another escalation. In 15 days I've only had 6, no one would buy one of them due to it's location, and I had to sell this last one at a discount due to it being close to expiration and me heading off to bed. Luckily I've had quite a few officer (sentient drone) spawns in my Squad runs. I've also picked up some bling loot off wrecks in pvp that I'm trying to sell. I'm currently right at the 2 billion mark. I was going to spend my isk on daily injectors instead of plex just due to economics, but with the birthday month coming in 9 days that changed my plan. I want those birthday pressies. Overall I think joining Horde (or other newb friendly null alliances) and doing some hardcore ratting while your skills improve is a good way to get into EVE and nullsec.
One thing you didnt mention in the video: you dont ALWAYS get one, the chance is about 1 in 20. When you have one, there will be a pop up on your screen that tells you something along the lines of "signal found bla bla bla". The escalation itself has the name "Outgrowth Rogue Drone Hive" , thats the 10/10 that you can then sell.
When I was flying with Karmafleet I used to make decent ISK on a pathetic Myrmidon which takes no time to get started while I trained for VNI and better drones. I could usually AFK a bit and even if I lost my ship it was no biggie. Still better to be present though.
Its not to the same extend but in brave newbies in the brave collective you also get those vexors for free. Because of pandemic horde they sadly dont have their own space and coalition. Pure blind deklein and fade are now holded by fratenity pets
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Being different isnt always the way to go you know ;) Some people think they always have to stand out, but sometimes its better just to go with what the whole f*cking world does XD
lol yes - i spended to many time useless in high sec. I didn't know Pandemic Horde offered such support. Does anyone else do this, like the Goons, PL, Brave?
Yes Goons has the Gooniversity, with handout ships and PvE/PvP Classes, but the best Expirience is to go on your first fleet and say you are new to goons or new to eve :D and most FC calls for a welcome gift to you :D sometimes it rains billions of isk ;)
Of course Karmafleet in Goons, a few Brave corps do it, theres also plenty other newbie corps from the small to mid nullsec alliances that offer a lot of support from ships, isk, useful tips and tricks and such to newbies.
PL isn't a newbro friendly alliance, it's more of a closed club for well established players Goons & Brave might have a similar program; but keep in mind Goons don't accept alpha pilots
An addition to the video, because one thing you didn't mention: the actual time you have to spend in game. Let's assume you get can do 40m ISK/h (maybe more, maybe less). That's still 30 hours of a ship doing afk ratting (to earn 1.2b) while doing other stuff like watching movies. That's something like 3-4h/day of a ship spinning in a site. Also correct me if I'm wrong. Escalations are random. You can get lucky and get 4 escalations in 30h of ratting or not a single one And one thing to keep in mind: nothing is free. You basically pay for it in corp taxes ;)
i had 4 escalations in 10 days...its not so random i think....tbh...others had more. 40 mil isk ratting is right...i did it when watching netflix...its 1,75 bil with the escalations a month if you go for it 1 hour a day....i sepnded a lot more time as a beginner back the days :-) but you are right....it needs time...
it's still more as a beginner than you'd make ratting, running level 3s, or doing t3 abyssals (i think that's max you can do with alpha skills? maybe?)
This sounds amazing for me, a newly-arrived explorer ! I want to give it a try. How much in-game time should I spend into these PVE sites in order to make some solid ISK, iyo?
@@MA-uy7iu So, let's Say I'd love to make a consistent 100 million to finally pay for a battlecruiser : how much time should it take? We also could speak of average ISK/hour if easier
i think you can make 20-40 mil / hour. if it leads to an escalation you can sell the escalation for 130 million. i think if you run 20 drone horde combats you will have a good isk start...
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Thanks for your kind and quick answer. I'll definitely give it a try very soon, as I am struggling with T0 abyss to make ISK for now. Fly safe !
For perspective, a week-old player in a Vexor might manage just about 10m ticks after ESS bonus in a Vexor. To make 1.2b ISK from ratting - that is 120 ticks. Each tick is 20 minutes of ratting. So to get 120, 20 minute ticks in 10 days you need to play EVE for 2400 minutes or 4 hours a day, every day, no exceptions, not including losses from modules you fit or your ESS getting robbed. Literally a full time job to scratch a pittance out the ground.
Nahhh...ist 1hour a day with all the escalations. Empty system. Ess robbing in a system 3 jumps away from a standing fleet with 150ppl ? never saw that happen.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb 1.2b was before the escalations you said you sold. So to do this playing 1 hour a day you'd be getting 40m+ ticks in a vexor?
@@Sajuek i am not sure if it was 1hour or 2 hours...you know ...most of the time i watched 2 x riverdale every evening...+/- sometimes 3...some days i also used an ishtar....bought it from the pve income...so whats working for me needs maybe a bit longer for a new player...for sure. but support and benefit stays the same...
WOW. Have things changed this much? I remember a time when you had to AWOX somebody and be a capital pilot to even be considered by Hord. ANd Isk is normally pronounced as a word not the individual letters. But still a good video. Great opportunity for new players.
Aren't I-S-K not Icelandic Krona, and isn't CCP an Icelandic company? So, are Icelandic Krona used in-game? Crazy stuff. :-) Btw - i am always open for ISK or I-S-K donations :-)))))
" I remember a time when you had to AWOX somebody and be a capital pilot to even be considered by Hord" no you didn't because ph was always a newbie friendly alliance
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fbISK stands for InterStellar Kredits, and although Aura used to spell it out, nowadays everyone just pronounces it as a word, even devs.
After you join OH, go to the newbeans and ask there...you will get all the support you need 🙂 but its easy: after you get the escalation, fly there, bookmark it. sell it in zulus bazaar and transfer the bookmark to the seller...he wills end you an "link" you save your position under that link...thats it....sold
I don't recall anyone ever saying I-S-K before. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Usually it's ISK like risk. Nice video Horde Sister. Yes, you , like me, are Horde.
Will check horde out. Didn't know that Horde support new players and PvE so much. Wondering a lot what their benefit is...Do they do that just because of the taxes?
It's more like this.. if you join PH and enjoy what is on offer, like the setup and so on then the hope would be that you grow as a pilot and stay with them. If you try it, and don't like it... you are free to leave, so really there is no downside for PH.
In general, the big alliances have so many people that there are a lot more available to help new players than there might be in a smaller group. There are multiple benefits, like keeping the number of active members higher, keeping Eve numbers in general higher (honestly Eve needs as many active players as it can get), and converting more people from new players to long-term active players by helping them navigate what is one of the most complicated games one could choose to play. I know at least in Horde we love helping new players find their way in the game, and I assume this is the same elsewhere too.
dont know if its been said in the comments, but you don't have to fly to the gate of the escalation to bookmark for sale... you can save the bookmark from the escalation view...
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb you select your escalation in the "the agency" tab" -> "exploration" -> "Escalation" you should IIRC be able to right click and bookmark the location. I'v sold escalations without traveling and bookmarking the escalations iirc
Just started playing a couple of weeks ago and just recently ran across this video. I submitted my application to the Horde several days ago and have had no response :(
You say you made over 1b isk, what amount of time did you spend ratting per day, what is the rough amount of isk per site? I would like to do this but skeptical and also does the starter skillpoints cover all the training? Is there a skill plan?
Assuming you could even get 40 million isk per hour nullsec ratting, you would have to rat 4 hours a day every single day of the month to get 5 billion isk. You could work at a job for 7 minutes a day for 30 days to pay for eve.
A single drone horde site will net u like 18m isk (taxes included) Ticks happen every 20 mins There are 60 minutes in an hour If you can clear two Horde sites in less than an hour & get a third tick you get about 40m / hr Then you have the Escalation RNG don't forget u can make more if u rat in -1.0 systems & non-drone space as well as BRM modifiers
I like Eve for the PvP and my time is limited, so this is my way of thinking as well. But some people enjoy PvE and need to start small as new players, and as they skill up the ISK-making options get a lot better. Especially in null sec.
i mean the vexors are beginner ships and you only ment to use them wile you get some better skills and get isk to buy better ratting ships. and the reason we hand out those starter package are to remove the most boring grind for new pilots. for beginners it might seems like a lot of isk, but the reality those packages are barely more then 100 mill and not even pocketchange in the bigger picture soon as you get the skills i would strongly suggest you get yourself a praxis for ratting. with some ok skills it can do 800-900 dps, tank 1k dps, and only cost 450 mill or so, and are a much better isk maker. should earn you roughly 100 mill an hour, and probably close to twice as much as the vexor in the long run
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb the isthar allright, but the praxis are better. just slightly more expencive and gives you easily 40-50% more dps and twice as much tank, and harder to gank. you can even keep some drugs in the cargo in case you get attacked by neuts to increase your tank even further. that gives you rougly 1.3k dps tank and means any attackers actually need to put in some effort to kill you. a typical t3 ishtar hunter that kill those easily wont stand a chance of breaking the praxis
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb thats the best part. yes, tho probably with some modifications needed. havent done it myself, but there youtubers that show how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/mRyRLt22ZkM/v-deo.html
This was a really cool video. Been eyeballing getting back into the game, might have to put an app into PH. Especially if the money out there is that good. Getting some time in with standing fleet will be fun too. I used to love PvP. Especially the stint I did out in null before a large coup in the Querios region demolished the alliance I was a part of.
I disagree on the "never warp to a station" statement. What's more probable - the enemy to scan you down with combat scanners in your safe spot, or to bubble the station? Safespots are good for repositioning or ratting in no-mans-land, but its always better to get tethered immediately after a neut pops out.
I also really disagree on the statement that you should never warp to a station. the Enemy HAS to be in a interdictor or HIC in order to put down a bubble, but both are rarely seen solo. you can easily make it to a station before a sabre can deploy a bubble if you're quick enough. Sometimes your inexpierience with nullsec shows..
Normally, you will immediately get an intel, if the station is bubbled. So you can decide, where to go. Station or Safe POS is better than a safe spot. At the end, it depends on the situation….
We used to have safes and POS to warp to. At least in a POS they can't get you in the shields and most roaming PVPer and gangs didn't know it's location so it wasn't likely to get bubbled. I know they're not used much anymore since Upwell structures dropped.
Warping to a safe is the right call for situations like there's an unaccounted for neut in system, you have aggression (presumably from bastion), you're in a ship where someone will risk burning blue eyes for awox and you're not in a non-opsec fleet, etc. If you're warping to a deep tether not on the undock bm within dscan range that you're already aligned to and you don't have aggression, then it's 100% safe and the better choice. If you're in a non-opsec fleet and worried about awox or your deep safe has been burned at some point then tether is your only chance. So "never" warp to station is indeed too absolute, but so is "always" get tethered immediately. Warping to a safe is a good habit to get into though in theory, but you're risking your safespot each time you do and 99% of the time deep tether bm on a random athanor or whatever is perfectly fine (99.99% of the time in a cheap Vexor) - even the better call. Covering all of that for new players is not feasible outside the scope of 40h video series haha.
i love that system too...most of the time i was solo there... i remember 1 person tried to steal the ess...he was dead within some minutes, killed by the standing fleet :-)
Mate... you make 42b/month pvp-ing? Wow... for me it's always a time and money sink, even with fleets. Best I can do with an afk ishtar pve is 15b/m. If you ever wanna do a video on it, I'm quite interested in how you became isk-positive with pvp.
Karmafleet does the same and i think all big corp's also with newbe help. Eve-uni is also a good one with plenty of classes. Was there in 2008 or around that year. Damn love the accent :)
Really appreciate the video Ami. I have a bit of a potential hot take, but isn't suggesting Null-sec pretty much signing that player up for an immediate death sentence, and is like one of the longest running pranks to bait players?
@@Drascylla If a new player joins horde they will make ISK 10x as fast as they would in high-sec and all of their ships are given to them for free. So where is the "death sentence" if there is nothing for them to lose? You cannot learn to play the game in high-sec either because once you have learned very basic things such as how to lock, shoot, warp, dock and jump, it does not teach you anything valuable whatsoever that you could not learn faster and better in null-sec. Indeed, the first thing a new player should do is the Sisters of EVE epic arc, and the second thing they should do is join a Nullsec alliance. Null-sec is very safe because the space you are in is guarded by your alliance, interlopers are reported in local intel channel and pursued and attacked by your local standing fleet. This means that typically everyone in your system with you is a known entity who is friendly to you. If a player who is not in your alliance comes into your system you know that they are likely there to harm you, so you immediately just dock up. It is literally impossible to die in nullsec, whilst doing PvE content unless you you are not paying attention. Whereas in high-sec, you are not truly safe as anyone can still shoot you. You cannot claim space or pursue neutrals meaning you share it with everyone and you can never assume anything about their intentions. I can fly around my space in a Marauder watching my intel channel all day and be completely safe. If I flew that same Marauder from Amarr to Jita how long do you think I'd last? Maybe 15 minutes before the suicide gankers got me.
What's the ISK per hour here? And what's the minimal time to complete a site? I'm currently doing T1 Abyssals in HS, clocking 60M/h with 5 minutes between each dive, and I'm wondering if it's worth switching...
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb So that makes it around 43-53M/h in total. Thanks for the info! I'll stick to the Abyss for now but it's good to know some alternatives. Especially since that kind of ISK is crazy for a new player!
Hi. Sort of an of topic question. How do you get that red circle around your cursor? I often lose my mouse cursor while playing EVE, and I think such circle could help me. Thanks!
The game has many great features, but I also enjoy life, and dont want to commit much to it. Sometimes, Im tempted to just quit, and destroy the ships I have. I own Zirnitra for several years, never used it in battle.
I've been in Horde for about four years as a casual player, three in a corporation with a minimum monthly kill requirement (15 now, up recently from 10), and there are so many PVP opportunities that even in months with very little free time I've easily managed to meet the minimum. But if you stay in the main "starter" corporation (Pandemic Horde, Inc) there are no minimum kill requirements and you can play as little or as often as you like.
I did this. I gave away 90% of my isk on Sep. 20th, 2020 then changed my password to something random without writing it down. I ended up resetting the password last week and have been slowly remaking the ISK I gave away.
advice you need to do drone squad is much easy do and give u the same 10/10 of a horde or patrol site so is less time also have more % of sentient spawn , and no carrier spawn
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb 100% 10/10 i farm with 4 stormbringer that site becouse is much more easy to do it and get the same escalation than horde without the risk of carrier
Jejeje i wonder if they will accept me, an old member from fire coalition with 100m SP, that you guys destroyed last year with INIT, well i didnt play eve since then... i was playing star citizen during that time
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb lol joined 1h ago to eve since 1 year of being out of the game and recived 2 invitations of my old friends to they're respective corps... 1 for BRAVE sadly they are part of imperium and the other on WH space... I have to say the only thing about this game that makes me playing it, its the friends inside the game, not the game itself jejejeje
Just huff gas in low sec... Takes very low skills to get started. If you have multiple accounts it gets really really good. But can easily make 5bil a week with a single character if you target the right gas in the right low sec areas. With 3 accounts I can make 5bil a night with good spawn rng.
If you go with the Vexor they provide youre going to die pretty fast. If you're new, start with the herds to learn the mechanics, do it 2 or 3 times then try to get some upgrades like drone damage amplifier II or the capacitor coil II and then go to squads and dont ever leave from there
@02ditf23 are you doing drone hordes? With no skills and the beginner fit Im not even close to be fast enough to speed tank the horde damage, Im at like 500m/s and those guys hit me hard, I ended up warping away. Im now training speed related skills, but anyway appears that drone squads have the same escalation chance being faster (altough less isk/tick)
Well... High sec, pretty safe. Null sec, depends. Low sec, *_not safe_* LOL. But, if you want to argue the point, since I was trying to fly home, minding my own business in Nullsec, not a member of any corp, so I couldn't have drawn attention that way... It was *you* my dear that introduced me to the dangers of simply existing in Nullsec. No, I haven't forgotten, nor forgiven you for that lost DD.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb One question; are you able to suggest something similar to the drone sites in Blood Raider space? Drones are few and far between down here. NP if you don't know, but helpful if you do.

To activate jump gates, click on youf autopilot route ( the letter A on your Ui right next to 'route') and make sure to select "include jump gates in route"
I'd like to know how long you were ratting every day because that is allot of isk, when i use to do it id have to be out afk-pveing with multiple accs to achieve that
what you didnt mention is the time invested to get 1.2B, average what 15m ticks?so that makes 26.6 hours ratting in those 10 days which isnt too bad. the rng on escalations can be good or bad as well
Drone 10/10 yields a Max of ~400-500 mill, never seen anything above that since it only drops Opa, salvage and some drone stuff, no nice shiny dead space mods you get in other stuff

I always enjoyed my time as a new bean. Can be hard to find your spot, but once you make some mates, good times ensure. And roaming was fun for a none pvp guy.
I've extensively done PvE ratting in nullsec Dronelands, it's how I funded myself during WWB2 and I still do it on occasion (though I mostly did it when the NBI ratter was an Algos and not a Vexor), and here's what I can advise for those of you joining us here to make sure you're getting the most of your ratting isk:
1) If you're ratting in MJ-5F9, you're frankly asking to die. You might think it's safe because that's where everyone is, but the opposite is true. The reason is that you should always have your local channel popped out and stacked as tall as it can be when in nullsec so you can see everyone in your current system, and if someone who's not blue or green or purple shows up you should get out of there lickety-split and back into station. MJ has 320 people in it at the time of writing, and you just can't see everyone in system with that many, so someone could be in system and sneaking up on you. Standing fleet can respond quicker, sure, but against a hunting Loki who knows what they're doing when you're in a Vexor that's not a fight I'd feel confident in. Even one jump out is infinitely better.
2) Standing fleet is always hungry for PvP, the main ESI corp in Horde requires 15 kills a month and many people are looking to get that in standing, and will usually respond if you www, but they're the angry mob with pitchforks of Eve. We often bite off more than we can chew, and sometimes we have trouble responding quick enough. If you aren't in fleet, though, we can't warp to you and we can't save you, so always make sure you're in fleet. Do this before undocking, as someone hostile could invite you to a fleet when you undock and when you join fleet warp you directly into their trap.
3) Vexors are very isk efficient because T1 cruisers are cheap, but they aren't the best way to get isk ratting. Your progression here is Vexor > Gila/Ishtar > Paladin. I recommend the Gila for style points, but it's generally considered not as strong as the Ishtar, whatever, you decide. These two ships use medium drones, Infiltrators for the EM damage, so be aware the frigate and destroyer rats will target your drones so they need to die first. Please note that the expected upgrades, the Myrmidon and Dominix, are not in here. That's because they can't clear the site any faster, are more appealing gank bait, and are harder to warp off which makes them more likely to die in emergencies. I do some ratting in a Myrm when I'm bored, but it's honestly trash isk. You can also consider using ranged missiles for ratting, a cruise fit Praxis or Raven or Typhoon can work for this, but drones are really the best way to go because you don't have to reload drones and also you don't have to think nearly as hard. The benefit of missiles, though, is because it's something you actively do you're less likely to miss someone showing up in local. Paladins are nice because EM/Therm are the two primary weaknesses of the rogue drones you'll be fighting. You may hear rumors of a ratting Oracle, and it's possible if you fit polarized pulse lasers, but it requires skills (in-game and player) that are pretty advanced in order to make it work.
4) The bunker types of drone hordes are a pain in the ass. They don't have as much isk, they can take longer, and the turrets fuckin hurt. Some people recommend you skip them outright and only do the better version. I won't recommend that because isk is isk, but you should be aware that even if you're speed tanking the turrets have good tracking and can hit out to like 100km, even my active tanked Praxis has trouble keeping up with that dps. It sucks.
5) If you see a rat spawn with a diamond symbol, get the fuck out of that anom and report its location to standing with the code "ddd" because that's an infested carrier and it will push your shit in. You need either a dreadnought or a bunch of friends in stealth bombers orbiting it at 500m to kill those things, and they can kill you if they breathe at you.
6) When you're done with ratting for a while, be sure to fly a combat ship in Standing sometimes to give back to the community. It's a good way to scratch the PvP itch, especially since there's no doctrine rules beyond not yolo'ing a bling-fit Vargur or anything.
I've thought of some more that should be known:
~Hordes are where the good money is, but Patrols are also viable if you for some reason can't run any Hordes at the moment. However, you'll need to approach them differently. The battleship rats in Hordes like to stay around 35km from your ship and shoot you that way, but the ones in Patrols like to get in knife fighting range before starting to shoot. This can present an issue, since you drones when set to aggressive will still only shoot ships that are shooting at you, and if you're speed tanking you could wind up accidentally staying out of range of the Patrol battleships forever.
~Rogue drones are buffer tanked, and do not rep. This is why running a Horde in a Vexor is viable, I'm pretty sure if you tried this shit in a Guristas Haven you'd get dunked on by the rats.
~Rogue drones do not drop loot, don't even try to find any. The only reason you would put down an MTU is if you wanted all the wrecks in one location for easy salvaging. Sentient battleships and infested carriers do drop loot, but they don't spawn very often so they're not worth worrying about. You'll know if a sentient spawns because there'll be some binary appearing in blue text in local chat to announce it, and you'll know if an infested carrier spawns by the fact that you're suddenly in a pod instead of a ship. To compensate for the lack of loot, rogue drones tend to have higher bounties attached to them.
~If you're making your own ratting ship, shield tank it. Even if it's supposed to be an armor ship, especially if it's an armor ship really. You should be filling your lows with DDAs to maximize your outgoing DPS and therefore your income. You don't need that strong of a tank for rats, especially if you're doing things like speed tanking a Vexor or range tanking a Raven. Speaking of the missile ships, even if the ship is kin locked, always use EM damage because that's what the rats are weak to.
@@emPtysp4ce had 3 carrier spawns. i learned i cant kill them in an ishtar 🙂
@@emPtysp4ce I have a Active Shield Tanked Jackdaw that can 330dps @ 55km in sharpshooter(With Light MIssiles). Would 330dps be a viable amount to clear out there? I can fly an Ish, but I like maneuverability of tac dessys more (Easier to gtfo if jumped on/ Options to swap modes per situation.)
@ugib8377 I checked my old fits, and my passive tanked Gila that I used for semi-AFK ratting is simulated at 474 dps, which should give you an idea of what kind of damage numbers we mean. For science, I just took a Muninn I have with comparable dps numbers into a Horde, and it took me a minute and a half to kill one of the battleship rats. So you could do it as long as you pack enough missiles, I guess. Just make sure you're cap stable and that you always shoot the frigates first, they can scram/web you.
@@emPtysp4ce Thanks tons for the fast reply! I already have an app in. I'll probably use my Jackdaw to start until I get comfy out there. Then I'll look at bringing something a bit more purpose built. What kind of damage should I resist? Online resources for that are pretty vague.
Couple of suggestions:
- Your vexor is flying T2 heavy drones. For new players, you likely wont have the skills to fly these, use Imperial Navy praetors instead. They cost about the same, have similar dps, and dont require high skills to use.
- Id recommend flying 2 heavies, 2 medium, 1 light drone instead of 3 heavies. Total on-paper DPS should be the same with this configuration, but because you have med and light drones out, you should have better application. So your total effective/applied DPS should be better than 3 heavy drones, resulting in better applied DPS and isk/hr.
- In this video, you rat in drone space. However, if you join PH and rat in non-drone space, you should also carry Mobile Tractor Units (MTU) with you to collect loot from the dead NPC ships. MTU's are not needed when fighting drones, as they dont usually drop anything of any value (faction spawns excluded). This loot is significant, and can make up 30% of your total income if you're killing NPC's other than drones.
- The generally accepted upgrade path for ratting after a vexor is usually Myrmidon > Ishtar. You can find people who also suggest using a Praxis, Gila or Dominix, somewhere in that progression but those are less generally accepted by players.
- Talk to somebody about your skill training plan. There are a number of skills that give you significant benefits to ratting that improve your dps and isk/hr. Not having the right skills or not training them out of ignorance can easily cost you 50% of your potential income, if not more.
- Set your drones to focus fire and auto attack
disagree. training BC skill is time off training cruiser 5 and getting into an ishtar
thanks...as i said...i am a pve noooob :-)
Could you please give an example of which skills bring significant benefits to ratting? I asked around but didn't get many concrete answers. Are you just referring to drone skills in general and stuff?
@@sigmar40k if you bring the ship skills near max it will be a good start. And for sure the drone skills are important.
@@sigmar40k For a Vexor specifically, I would look for Drone Interfacing 4, Gallente Cruiser 4, Heavy+Med+Light drone operation 3 to 4 each, Drone Sharpshooting + Drone Navigation 3 or 4. They are just drone skills in general, but specifically I would look for Drone Interfacing and Gallente cruiser whenever Im talking to a new player. New players who've never been talked to may completely miss Drone Interfacing as an important skill, and new players may not realize that the Vexor's cruiser bonus also contributes drone DPS which directly affects your isk/hr. Every now and again Ill also meet a new player who doesn't realize they're missing some of these skills and are losing at least 10% of their potential easy to skill into DPS, which means they're losing about 10% of their potential isk/hr.
Beyond that, I would also ask the new player to bring up the exact fit they wanted to use in either pyfa or the in game fitting window and make sure that they have enough power grid and CPU to fit everything, but more importantly that they are cap stable. Ive had instances before where a recommended fit for a new player getting into their first ishtar died in a site because they ran out of cap, cos the person who recommended the fit didn't realize they lacked the skills needed to make the fit cap stable.

Not a horde player, but from Slyce. We use the same trick with vexors and ishtars to earn AFK cash. Those ships do get blown up, but ironically more are lost to sentient carriers than people. And you nearly always end up in a net positive, so you just get a new one and the party continues. A lot of people run this during work hours, so that they could buy something expensive and do something stupid during their actual free time. It's a game after all.
As for Horde, I've been in their standing fleets. Very chaotic, but also very fun if you are not afraid to lose your ship. Definitely seems like a fun community.
If you lose the afterburner in the mids and leave your drones behind, you won't lose your ship to a carrier -- or to another player.

I joined Horde around 6 months ago, the experience is totally different than what I expected. The amount of support, and programs they have to me is incredible. I had played for 2 years in High Sec, so I had experience in the game. But as a total new player you would learn multiple different things through their classes they offer, and they run often. They also cover a lot of different topics. The experience in Horde even coming from high sec and small null experience, is something unique I believe. Its slightly overwhelming at first, but patience and you can go from 0 to hero in Horde.

Never knew about the "care packs" until i first docked in the Beanstar and one of the Supporters in chat dropped it all on me, I was like you for real? thought it was pretty cool getting that stash of ships and skillbooks for free. i did all those skillbooks , had a crack at flying all those freebies, then you realise hey all that really just opens doors to so much other stuff you can do so you start thinking about hanging around bit longer to do the next step and see how that goes, anyway still havent made it back to hisec , still learning stuff, and theres still just so much content.

I only can support the message of this video. I am a bean for three weeks now and I had a blast. I still feel very welcome and everyone is super helpful!
cool ...have fun there
I have to say, if this is a recruitment video, it's working. I have been blown up by ph several times and am seriously considering joining. High sec is pretty boring. Thanks for the details, and enjoy your content
Do it! I've been in Horde for about four years and it's been by far the best experience I've had in Eve since starting in 2009. You can play as little or as often as you want and both the PvE and PvP opportunities are fantastic, not to mention industry, trading, hauling, and everything else the game has to offer. As I said in another comment, it's almost entirely drama-free, free from real-world politics (there's a rule), and bigot-free (also a rule; this was a problem for me in the past with other groups). It can be difficult to bond with people since it's such a huge alliance, but if you're in standing fleet regularly and speak up (definitely be on Mumble) you can start to make connections with others. Living in null sec is the best way to play Eve in my opinion, and being in Horde is a great way to do it.
I love Horde... nice supporting crew
It's not a recruitment video. No one from the horde was involved in that video or paid me for it. In the past, people have often asked me how and where to make ISK, also as a beginner. So after making "just" only PvP videos and some reviews, I thought I'd make one or two PvE videos. I was thinking about where I would start again, when i am 100 % new to the game. Who has the best benefits for me as a PvE player... so I took a closer look at Horde. For me, the following benefits were crucial:
1. Apply today, join tomorrow, very important benefit. I can join and leave without it taking weeks.
2. Free ships, free skillbooks.
2. Well-organized support. Ingame and on discord
3. No payback, they don't want anything in return from me or require me to fly a certain number of fleets.
4. Opportunity to sell escalations.
5. Standing fleet (active) protects me.
6. Active community, but i can also stay solo inside the alliance if i like.
7. A save system to do some afk ratting too
8. Ship replacement if i lost my Vexor
...those were the reasons. At the end of the day you wont get that in High sec. To put it dramatically, you could, as a new player, earn your money there and then just leave once you've made enough.
@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb I am sorry, I wasn't trying to say this was an actual recruitment video. I appreciate all the content and advice. Thank you!
@@yohomie187 no worries i know. all good...but for sure its also a bit of an recruitment video...(unpayed) 🙂
great video , i know you don't much like pve but stuff like this is massively useful for newer players and so few content creators actually make stuff aimed at new players making everything as simple as humanly possible. o7, I think most null bloc's offer something similar but making it this simple is a huge bonus!
Well i am not sure. I think there is no other ally that accept alpha accounts in null, right? And so easy to apply....Anyways...no reason to stay in high sec right? So Horde offers the players an easy step in to null....
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb That'd be misinformation. Would highly recommend doing your own research instead of ingesting whatever propaganda Gobbins is throwing around this week. Brave (Brave Newbies), Goons (KarmaFleet), The Initiative. (Knock Knock.), LinkNet (LinkNet...), Fraternity (Fraternity Academy); all accept new players on alpha accounts. And there are many more. The only significant difference between PH and any of these for a new player is the amount of spin and lying to members that PH puts out on a daily basis in order to convince people to stay with them.
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Deffo props to Horde for such an organized newbro support system. Although, to be fair, in my experience, if Ali doesn't do it, individual Corps tend to their own newbros. Almost any Null group I've encountered has a newbie support of some sort, so yeah - getting into null isn't nearly as hard as people tend to think.

I know the felling. Been in and out since 2010. Been playing more the last year or so because my boy has started playing.
@@davd2314 Thats dope! Got yourself a wingman!
Horde is great for that kind of play style. In the main corporation (Pandemic Horde, Inc) there aren't even any minimum activity requirements, so you can play as little or as much as you want and not have to worry. It's a great way to at least try out null sec space for a while to see how it works for you while getting plenty of opportunities for both PvE and PvP. It's also almost entirely drama-free, politics-free (no real-world politics rule), bigot-free, etc. The only real downside is that in PH Inc. you're one of thousands, so it's not as easy to bond with people as in a smaller corporations (those are available in Horde, too, though). But in standing fleet you'll start seeing/hearing the same people regularly and can start to form connections with the regulars in your timezone.
I followed the steps in this video and have really enjoyed Pandemic Horde. They've been a great group to work with. Very helpful. 👍
I think it's the best video about EVE. Congratulations!
ohhh thank you
Great Video. Much love from the NBI team :D
well you deliver a great support to the new players....bu i will NOT trade the gifted ships back ! ;-)
This is great - great video. Love your content
Thank you !
My main character was in PH a long time ago, maybe a few months after I started playing. Wanted to be a miner but never got the groove of being in a place where you could die by huge rats in the belts, ect. Was krabby and wanted to be mining all the time. Eventually went back to high sec to carebear it out. Now that I've been getting back into the game after a few years and want to do more combat related things, I think you may have convinced me it might be time to return to PH and do it right. Also, I'm not sure why but you explaining this process is somehow much easier to follow/understand than most anyone else I've seen on youtube doing the same thing. Nice clear points!
thanks for watching !
Im half tempted to join. Null life is something i havent tried yet. Might apply when i get home.
join brave instead, same programmes, better culture
Yes join Horde Inc easy do get in...you can start today...you only need a ingame apply. thats it.
Karma Fleet has something similar if you would like to be a Bee and not a Bean. It's through Karma Fleet university.
I used to do this and i've finally graduated to a Worm Hole corp. Can make anywhere between 500Mil to 1B daily quite easily.
Great video !

It's hard to believe but true. In this tutorial, I'll show you how, even as an Alpha account with no money, no ship, and no skills, you can easily earn several billion a month.
Sounds crazy, right? Yes, it is, and you don't need a single ISK to do it. How did you start making ISK when you began playing EVE Online?
I earned my first Bil diving WHs, and later doing Null Explo as well. Pretty decent income, for hardly any skill requirements, aaaand it teaches you a lot of valuable survival lessons. Deffo recommend.
As for Null - it is a great place to make money for sure. Although my fav method was, instead of hacking myself, taking loot from any trespassers. Never regretted skilling into the Sabre.
And as for the video - yes, getting into Null is nowhere near as hard as people seem to think. Nor is it nearly as dangerous. Sure, you will explode while you learn the inns and outs of Null sec, but those are lessons everyone needs to learn imo. If anything, being completely risk averse is what robs countless people of learning about many great aspects of Eve universe. Nobody ever said you have to stick to Null if you don't like it, but not even trying it out feels like a complete shame.
One KEY thing you haven't mentioned: how many hours did it take for you to rake up the 1.72b in 10 days?

Good video. This is a great offer to take advantage of. If you stick with it, train into an Ishtar and join one of the alliances ESI Gated Corps. Personally I started out in High Sec and spent years there doing security missions, mining, and hauling.

Why would you want to watch netflix while playing eve?
No fun in your game if you burn out by getting rich as a newbie. You have my sympathies.
Hahaha, well. PVE can be boring (sometimes) so making isk and watching netflix is cool, you know, for normal i watch netflix without getting isk :-)

Thanks for the video, been looking for a way to move out into low and null sec for a while and looks like I might have just found it :)
cool have fun out there !
just FYI for the curious. I made an alpha on 04/04, got the 1mill sp, did some career missions enough to get the 50k sp reward from air points, then put in an app. My app wasn't accepted until the next day so I continued running career missions for easy money.
I was accepted into PH on 04/05 but accepted and moved after midnight on 04/06. It is currently 16:10 on 04/07 and I've already run 5 anoms and found 2 escalations which I've sold for 230mill isk.
Escalations are RNGeezuz, I might not see one again for days.. but being 10% towards omega this soon? that's still a good % so far.
- Korbin DALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS / Korben DALLAAAAS (i got it shortened)
also: until you hit that sp cap, it's actually cheaper and more sp/day to buy daily injectors, so i'll be doing that as i can afford them until i hit that 5m sp.
Update: Lost a vexor with 90mill in loot inside, doing dumbshit on a bubbled gate. Since that first post I finally got my 4th escalation. 6 days in and with only ratting a few hours a day and paying for 3 daily alpha injectors and I'm sitting at 500million, 1/5th of the way towards Omega (6x5=30 :D).
Does it help that I'm a total nerd, love this game, and know how to play drone boats? Yes. Will I help anyone that asks for it in the newbeans channel? Absolutely.
This is great info. Thank you!! I'm gonna try to follow your path!?
@@Recline17 Day 8 in PH not much news. Almost lost a shitty thorax going against blingy peeps. Despite 4 daily injectors I'm just about to crack 1 billion, slowly closing in on the halfway point.
The goal isn't to get and keep omega going, it's to be able to afford omega every once in awhile as I train up the alpha only skills at 2x speed. Like I said, you gain more sp/day using daily alphas, but that's only if you remember to use them daily.
Only real news I have to post is: Just run Drone Squads, the others aren't worth the effort.. squads is fast, patrol can be annoying, and horde* is just nuts.
(yesterday) Day 15: Finally got another escalation. In 15 days I've only had 6, no one would buy one of them due to it's location, and I had to sell this last one at a discount due to it being close to expiration and me heading off to bed. Luckily I've had quite a few officer (sentient drone) spawns in my Squad runs. I've also picked up some bling loot off wrecks in pvp that I'm trying to sell.
I'm currently right at the 2 billion mark. I was going to spend my isk on daily injectors instead of plex just due to economics, but with the birthday month coming in 9 days that changed my plan. I want those birthday pressies.
Overall I think joining Horde (or other newb friendly null alliances) and doing some hardcore ratting while your skills improve is a good way to get into EVE and nullsec.
Fellow pandemic horde fellow. Mining ops is always jolly cooperative
One thing you didnt mention in the video: you dont ALWAYS get one, the chance is about 1 in 20. When you have one, there will be a pop up on your screen that tells you something along the lines of "signal found bla bla bla". The escalation itself has the name "Outgrowth Rogue Drone Hive" , thats the 10/10 that you can then sell.
When I was flying with Karmafleet I used to make decent ISK on a pathetic Myrmidon which takes no time to get started while I trained for VNI and better drones. I could usually AFK a bit and even if I lost my ship it was no biggie. Still better to be present though.
Its not to the same extend but in brave newbies in the brave collective you also get those vexors for free.

Yes Goons has the Gooniversity, with handout ships and PvE/PvP Classes, but the best Expirience is to go on your first fleet and say you are new to goons or new to eve :D and most FC calls for a welcome gift to you :D sometimes it rains billions of isk ;)
Of course Karmafleet in Goons, a few Brave corps do it, theres also plenty other newbie corps from the small to mid nullsec alliances that offer a lot of support from ships, isk, useful tips and tricks and such to newbies.
PL isn't a newbro friendly alliance, it's more of a closed club for well established players
Goons & Brave might have a similar program; but keep in mind Goons don't accept alpha pilots
@@frosthound_8594thats the big point... Alpha and easy apply comes only with Horde
@@frosthound_8594 i like "open for everyone" tbh :-)
An addition to the video, because one thing you didn't mention: the actual time you have to spend in game. Let's assume you get can do 40m ISK/h (maybe more, maybe less). That's still 30 hours of a ship doing afk ratting (to earn 1.2b) while doing other stuff like watching movies. That's something like 3-4h/day of a ship spinning in a site.
Also correct me if I'm wrong. Escalations are random. You can get lucky and get 4 escalations in 30h of ratting or not a single one
And one thing to keep in mind: nothing is free. You basically pay for it in corp taxes ;)
i had 4 escalations in 10 days...its not so random i think....tbh...others had more. 40 mil isk ratting is right...i did it when watching netflix...its 1,75 bil with the escalations a month if you go for it 1 hour a day....i sepnded a lot more time as a beginner back the days :-) but you are right....it needs time...
it's still more as a beginner than you'd make ratting, running level 3s, or doing t3 abyssals (i think that's max you can do with alpha skills? maybe?)
This sounds amazing for me, a newly-arrived explorer ! I want to give it a try. How much in-game time should I spend into these PVE sites in order to make some solid ISK, iyo?
It always dependes on how much you want to earn.
@@MA-uy7iu So, let's Say I'd love to make a consistent 100 million to finally pay for a battlecruiser : how much time should it take? We also could speak of average ISK/hour if easier
i think you can make 20-40 mil / hour. if it leads to an escalation you can sell the escalation for 130 million. i think if you run 20 drone horde combats you will have a good isk start...
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb Thanks for your kind and quick answer. I'll definitely give it a try very soon, as I am struggling with T0 abyss to make ISK for now. Fly safe !

pandemic horde about to be super full and lose a lot of isk on care packages haha
You do realize they make trillions in a day yee?
20m sp havnt played in many years. Gonna jump back in and join them
For perspective, a week-old player in a Vexor might manage just about 10m ticks after ESS bonus in a Vexor. To make 1.2b ISK from ratting - that is 120 ticks. Each tick is 20 minutes of ratting. So to get 120, 20 minute ticks in 10 days you need to play EVE for 2400 minutes or 4 hours a day, every day, no exceptions, not including losses from modules you fit or your ESS getting robbed. Literally a full time job to scratch a pittance out the ground.
Nahhh...ist 1hour a day with all the escalations. Empty system. Ess robbing in a system 3 jumps away from a standing fleet with 150ppl ? never saw that happen.
Not counting rat loot, escalations and faction spawns (a lot of which doesn’t exist in drone lands)
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb 1.2b was before the escalations you said you sold. So to do this playing 1 hour a day you'd be getting 40m+ ticks in a vexor?

Will check horde out. Didn't know that Horde support new players and PvE so much. Wondering a lot what their benefit is...Do they do that just because of the taxes?
It's more like this.. if you join PH and enjoy what is on offer, like the setup and so on then the hope would be that you grow as a pilot and stay with them. If you try it, and don't like it... you are free to leave, so really there is no downside for PH.
do it !
horde is space communism. the more you help them, the more they help you, the more you help them.
In general, the big alliances have so many people that there are a lot more available to help new players than there might be in a smaller group. There are multiple benefits, like keeping the number of active members higher, keeping Eve numbers in general higher (honestly Eve needs as many active players as it can get), and converting more people from new players to long-term active players by helping them navigate what is one of the most complicated games one could choose to play. I know at least in Horde we love helping new players find their way in the game, and I assume this is the same elsewhere too.
dont know if its been said in the comments, but you don't have to fly to the gate of the escalation to bookmark for sale... you can save the bookmark from the escalation view...
oha thanks...how?
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb you select your escalation in the "the agency" tab" -> "exploration" -> "Escalation" you should IIRC be able to right click and bookmark the location. I'v sold escalations without traveling and bookmarking the escalations iirc

Just started playing a couple of weeks ago and just recently ran across this video. I submitted my application to the Horde several days ago and have had no response :(
maybe it takes some time
You say you made over 1b isk, what amount of time did you spend ratting per day, what is the rough amount of isk per site? I would like to do this but skeptical and also does the starter skillpoints cover all the training? Is there a skill plan?
please ask in newbeans, they will help you with that questions
Assuming you could even get 40 million isk per hour nullsec ratting, you would have to rat 4 hours a day every single day of the month to get 5 billion isk. You could work at a job for 7 minutes a day for 30 days to pay for eve.
dont forget the 12 escalations ;-)
A single drone horde site will net u like 18m isk (taxes included)
Ticks happen every 20 mins
There are 60 minutes in an hour
If you can clear two Horde sites in less than an hour & get a third tick you get about 40m / hr
Then you have the Escalation RNG
don't forget u can make more if u rat in -1.0 systems & non-drone space as well as BRM modifiers
I like Eve for the PvP and my time is limited, so this is my way of thinking as well. But some people enjoy PvE and need to start small as new players, and as they skill up the ISK-making options get a lot better. Especially in null sec.
There's a challenging part to this guide, that's bringing myself to apply to horde.
sure apply !
i mean the vexors are beginner ships and you only ment to use them wile you get some better skills and get isk to buy better ratting ships. and the reason we hand out those starter package are to remove the most boring grind for new pilots. for beginners it might seems like a lot of isk, but the reality those packages are barely more then 100 mill and not even pocketchange in the bigger picture
soon as you get the skills i would strongly suggest you get yourself a praxis for ratting. with some ok skills it can do 800-900 dps, tank 1k dps, and only cost 450 mill or so, and are a much better isk maker. should earn you roughly 100 mill an hour, and probably close to twice as much as the vexor in the long run
yes...ishtar is a way better !
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb the isthar allright, but the praxis are better. just slightly more expencive and gives you easily 40-50% more dps and twice as much tank, and harder to gank. you can even keep some drugs in the cargo in case you get attacked by neuts to increase your tank even further. that gives you rougly 1.3k dps tank and means any attackers actually need to put in some effort to kill you. a typical t3 ishtar hunter that kill those easily wont stand a chance of breaking the praxis

I disagree on the "never warp to a station" statement. What's more probable - the enemy to scan you down with combat scanners in your safe spot, or to bubble the station? Safespots are good for repositioning or ratting in no-mans-land, but its always better to get tethered immediately after a neut pops out.
well use 2 savespots and warp between the spots if combats are in space...
I also really disagree on the statement that you should never warp to a station. the Enemy HAS to be in a interdictor or HIC in order to put down a bubble, but both are rarely seen solo. you can easily make it to a station before a sabre can deploy a bubble if you're quick enough. Sometimes your inexpierience with nullsec shows..
Normally, you will immediately get an intel, if the station is bubbled. So you can decide, where to go. Station or Safe POS is better than a safe spot. At the end, it depends on the situation….
We used to have safes and POS to warp to. At least in a POS they can't get you in the shields and most roaming PVPer and gangs didn't know it's location so it wasn't likely to get bubbled. I know they're not used much anymore since Upwell structures dropped.
Warping to a safe is the right call for situations like there's an unaccounted for neut in system, you have aggression (presumably from bastion), you're in a ship where someone will risk burning blue eyes for awox and you're not in a non-opsec fleet, etc. If you're warping to a deep tether not on the undock bm within dscan range that you're already aligned to and you don't have aggression, then it's 100% safe and the better choice. If you're in a non-opsec fleet and worried about awox or your deep safe has been burned at some point then tether is your only chance. So "never" warp to station is indeed too absolute, but so is "always" get tethered immediately. Warping to a safe is a good habit to get into though in theory, but you're risking your safespot each time you do and 99% of the time deep tether bm on a random athanor or whatever is perfectly fine (99.99% of the time in a cheap Vexor) - even the better call. Covering all of that for new players is not feasible outside the scope of 40h video series haha.
Ahhh good old GSO-SR... love that system :)
i love that system too...most of the time i was solo there... i remember 1 person tried to steal the ess...he was dead within some minutes, killed by the standing fleet :-)
Mate... you make 42b/month pvp-ing? Wow... for me it's always a time and money sink, even with fleets. Best I can do with an afk ishtar pve is 15b/m. If you ever wanna do a video on it, I'm quite interested in how you became isk-positive with pvp.

no. just no. nullsec in many ways is safer than high sec.
Null is a way better for ISK
@@this.is.a.username I'd really appreciate you explaining how that can be true, given that the point of hi-sec is to be more secure ?
@@MA-uy7iu I understand that, I do. My main concern though is the obvious vulnerability it creates.
@@Drascylla If a new player joins horde they will make ISK 10x as fast as they would in high-sec and all of their ships are given to them for free.
So where is the "death sentence" if there is nothing for them to lose?
You cannot learn to play the game in high-sec either because once you have learned very basic things such as how to lock, shoot, warp, dock and jump, it does not teach you anything valuable whatsoever that you could not learn faster and better in null-sec. Indeed, the first thing a new player should do is the Sisters of EVE epic arc, and the second thing they should do is join a Nullsec alliance.
Null-sec is very safe because the space you are in is guarded by your alliance, interlopers are reported in local intel channel and pursued and attacked by your local standing fleet. This means that typically everyone in your system with you is a known entity who is friendly to you. If a player who is not in your alliance comes into your system you know that they are likely there to harm you, so you immediately just dock up. It is literally impossible to die in nullsec, whilst doing PvE content unless you you are not paying attention.
Whereas in high-sec, you are not truly safe as anyone can still shoot you. You cannot claim space or pursue neutrals meaning you share it with everyone and you can never assume anything about their intentions. I can fly around my space in a Marauder watching my intel channel all day and be completely safe. If I flew that same Marauder from Amarr to Jita how long do you think I'd last? Maybe 15 minutes before the suicide gankers got me.

Damn what I been doing the last few months, earning pennies. Off to null sec.
What's the ISK per hour here?
And what's the minimal time to complete a site?
I'm currently doing T1 Abyssals in HS, clocking 60M/h with 5 minutes between each dive, and I'm wondering if it's worth switching...
nope its about 30-40 mil /h but with escalations every 10th side
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb So that makes it around 43-53M/h in total.
Thanks for the info! I'll stick to the Abyss for now but it's good to know some alternatives.
Especially since that kind of ISK is crazy for a new player!
Hi. Sort of an of topic question. How do you get that red circle around your cursor? I often lose my mouse cursor while playing EVE, and I think such circle could help me. Thanks!
its from the recordinf software
The game has many great features, but I also enjoy life, and dont want to commit much to it. Sometimes, Im tempted to just quit, and destroy the ships I have. I own Zirnitra for several years, never used it in battle.
I've been in Horde for about four years as a casual player, three in a corporation with a minimum monthly kill requirement (15 now, up recently from 10), and there are so many PVP opportunities that even in months with very little free time I've easily managed to meet the minimum. But if you stay in the main "starter" corporation (Pandemic Horde, Inc) there are no minimum kill requirements and you can play as little or as often as you like.
I did this. I gave away 90% of my isk on Sep. 20th, 2020 then changed my password to something random without writing it down. I ended up resetting the password last week and have been slowly remaking the ISK I gave away.
advice you need to do drone squad is much easy do and give u the same 10/10 of a horde or patrol site so is less time also have more % of sentient spawn , and no carrier spawn
ohhh...but that drone squas always 100 % leads to a 10/10????
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb 100% 10/10 i farm with 4 stormbringer that site becouse is much more easy to do it and get the same escalation than horde without the risk of carrier
also with 1 stormbringer is 5 min per site and with 2 are 3.30min per site so u get
plenty of 10/10
@@jackiemaitai1857 can yous ent me the fitting?
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb of the stormbringer=?
Jejeje i wonder if they will accept me, an old member from fire coalition with 100m SP, that you guys destroyed last year with INIT, well i didnt play eve since then... i was playing star citizen during that time
i can "ask for a friend" if you like :-)))))
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb lol joined 1h ago to eve since 1 year of being out of the game and recived 2 invitations of my old friends to they're respective corps... 1 for BRAVE sadly they are part of imperium and the other on WH space... I have to say the only thing about this game that makes me playing it, its the friends inside the game, not the game itself jejejeje
Lol🎉
Cool. Im looking into getting back in eve. Maybe i should start by this route. This is still valid ?
sure...if so claim the 1 million skill points ! link is in the video description ;-)
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb awesome thanks . Maybe we fly together one day. 😎
Just huff gas in low sec...
Takes very low skills to get started. If you have multiple accounts it gets really really good. But can easily make 5bil a week with a single character if you target the right gas in the right low sec areas. With 3 accounts I can make 5bil a night with good spawn rng.
Came here cuz someone someone said lots of new people are joining Horde because of this video lol
People who say all the letters drive me nuts. Make ISK a word.
If you go with the Vexor they provide youre going to die pretty fast. If you're new, start with the herds to learn the mechanics, do it 2 or 3 times then try to get some upgrades like drone damage amplifier II or the capacitor coil II and then go to squads and dont ever leave from there
Are you using a 50MN microwarpdrive? I guess thats how speedtank them right?
@02ditf23 are you doing drone hordes? With no skills and the beginner fit Im not even close to be fast enough to speed tank the horde damage, Im at like 500m/s and those guys hit me hard, I ended up warping away. Im now training speed related skills, but anyway appears that drone squads have the same escalation chance being faster (altough less isk/tick)
Well... High sec, pretty safe. Null sec, depends. Low sec, *_not safe_* LOL. But, if you want to argue the point, since I was trying to fly home, minding my own business in Nullsec, not a member of any corp, so I couldn't have drawn attention that way... It was *you* my dear that introduced me to the dangers of simply existing in Nullsec. No, I haven't forgotten, nor forgiven you for that lost DD.
Haha. It was not me...i am harmless 100%
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb One question; are you able to suggest something similar to the drone sites in Blood Raider space? Drones are few and far between down here. NP if you don't know, but helpful if you do.
@@kf4293 idk tbh...sorry...not an pve expert :-)
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb No worries, figured it was a long shot.
Unfortunately this isn't possible as I tried it and they said new players not welcome 😢

Hi joined the horde but when you went to that quiet area you said it was only 3 jumps from HQ but when i tried it was 9.
then better use the horde jump gates ;-)
To activate jump gates, click on youf autopilot route ( the letter A on your Ui right next to 'route') and make sure to select "include jump gates in route"
@@frosthound_8594 thanks couldn't figure it out
@@hexcrystalmeth2433 Any questions, don't hesitate to ask in Newbeans
havent played for like 15 years, the point is to farm something that have X chance to 100 to become a 10/10 "escalation" to sell it right ?
yes...i sold them all and alwys...to bored to fly them
i use to make FAT stacks spinning ishtars and doing escalations
Returning fresh after 10 years ish . This video still valid to call on ?
sure
Hello! I just came back to the game and applied to join Pandemic Horde, but I got rejected.
Do you know why it could be?
Thanks!
idk ...
I'd like to know how long you were ratting every day because that is allot of isk, when i use to do it id have to be out afk-pveing with multiple accs to achieve that
3-4h maybe
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb oh cool as, were you also running the select ded's that said vexor can run?
i left hisec and got rejected then opened new account near to pandemic and still got rejected, Ami please help
i have no roles inside horde...try out goons or brave ! go there then!
As a vet I am even tempted, nice one
I try this and my drones get wrecked before i can even kill 2 enemies. What am i doing wrong?
Such an PH advert... now I have to choose between PH and TEST. Which one should I pick?
lol - go to "4s Corporation" - Goons. Cool Corp !
I try to replicate what u said but I found Pandemic Horde Inc. with HQ in Jita... is it possible?
No 🙂
@@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb maybe i must leave high sec and go in null sec before make a search for pandemic?
@@mergiotti sure search for pandemic horde...easy to find ingame ;-)
i make the same and more per day in a mining alliance w free boosting but I had to almost max out mining barge and make a 1.7b hulk fit lol.
i want the list of the maps i can visit
thats cool
can you put your fit in the description please?
its the normal newbee horde standard vexor fitting
Correction: drone escalation loot sucks, you rarely get more than 350 mill our of one running them
How much time did u spend in hours in these anom ?
cant remember
what you didnt mention is the time invested to get 1.2B, average what 15m ticks?so that makes 26.6 hours ratting in those 10 days which isnt too bad. the rng on escalations can be good or bad as well
my income was around 40mil/h i think...but i was mostly afk and watched riverdale on netflix tbh 🙂
@ThisisAmi-Eveonline-xi8fb sounds about right, a tick is every 20 min so that would be about 40/45m an hour
Blessed with another video from Ami 🥳
;-)
Drone 10/10 yields a Max of ~400-500 mill, never seen anything above that since it only drops Opa, salvage and some drone stuff, no nice shiny dead space mods you get in other stuff
