Cash from Smartbombs...
Posted: June 2nd, 2004, 8:01 am
This is a little guide to making some easy afk cash while you sleep
Basically you need
1 BS
cap power relays
shield booster
Outfit your BS with all medium smartbombs and as many cap power relays you can fit. Find a spawn with a bunch of frigates (0.5 systems are great for this) What you are looking for are frigates with a short fly range (they orbit at less than 2.5km) and one frigate with a larger orbit range (your pet for the chain)
Basically find such a spawn, let them all beat on you and let rip with the smartbombs and shield booster. Wait a while for the next spawn in the chain to appear and approach that location while keeping the smartbombs on. As more frigates appear, you'll home in on their spawn location and all you have to do is just sit there. After a couple of hours the frigate spawns start getting insanely fast and after 4 hours you get instaspawn.
What this means is you can kill frigs while not having to do a thing. Now you're probably thinking 'OK, 2k frigs. Wow. Crap exploit this.'. Well if you do the math...
7 smartbombs running at 7.5 seconds each. Takes 3 smartbombs to kill a full spawn of frigates (so essentially 3 seconds to kill as many 2k frigs as you can find)
If you find a spawn with 4x 2k frigs then that's 8k every 3 seconds. 160k a min. 9.6mil an hour.
The best frigates from my experience for this are Angels. The following list is a list of frigs + orbit range so you know which to use..
Angels
Ambusher - 7.5k
Hijacker - 500m
Nomad - 7.5k
Outlaw - 1.25k
Raider - 1k
Rogue - 4.5k
Thug - 1.25k
Experiment with other races too. Guristas tend to orbit from distance, as do sanshas, angels and serpentis tend to get a bit closer.
Any feedback is appreciated.
