List your favorite money making schemes

Nov 06, 2015 jordanmorgan14f link
I'm a lazy guy. I don't like to spend hours trading, I just need a few mil to buy descent ships. So far my favorite way to make quick money is to trade small port weapons in Jallik. The posi's and Guass get a good 500-700k profit in an XC without tanking price too quickly, and in an hour I can make 30mil. What about you guys?

Step one: Equip X-ray goggles and a catalog on a high-speed low-drain ship with efficient weapons.

Step two: Prowl around, leering at every ship you pass.

Step three: Kill the ships that have valuables.

Step four: Return in a cargo ship to retrieve the valuables. Sometimes a noob will get in the way; when this happens, try to kill them while losing as little momentum as possible. Your time is valuable.

Step five: Sell the loot to whichever station is offering the best price.

Repeat until satisfaction is achieved.

Milinar computers go by for a bit more than a billion. So, building and selling one would solve all of your financial woes for a lifetime.

I resemble these remarks...

*resent

If you resemble them you look like them. The saying is "I resent these remarks".

Anywho, my best money making scheme was simple. Plan a nation war, take donations for said wars prize fund, get drunk and forget to host said event. That netted me about 100 mill in a few chat lines. I've only got away with it a few times though, and the last time I genuinely forgot to show!

Secret trading tip: Sell ERS tracking systems in EO G-13 in increments of 1000... price doesn't drop and you make bank...

While this isnt mine, and not a vendetta scheme perse, my friend sells ebooks, romance novels to be exact, makes about two grand a month just liscensing crap.

I imagine theres a sector in vo for that as well, due to how good our rp forum used to be.

I havnt checked many recent posts, but a lot of the rp posts were quite great.

Nope, you're wrong, yoda-- it's "resemble". It's a quirky way of saying, "hey, it sounds like you're talking about me. You better stop before I get offended." or some such

basically, yeah, "I look like those remarks" IS the intended meaning
