You have to mission run/mine/rat/trade etc. for isk to pvp, unless you pvp in t1 frigs/cruisers you're probably going to spend more time raising isk via pve than in actual pvp. This is where the buzz comes from in pvp, because if you loose your ship it really hurts.
Unfortunately (in my opinion) the pve content is so mind numbingly boring it's just not worth the effort for those rare & very brief quality pvp fights.
It's also why it's so hard to find 'good fights', nobody wants to loose their shiny's, so you have to accept the fact most of the time what might potentially be a goodfight is actually a hotdrop/gatecamp/blob/falcon alt in waiting.
That sounds interesting, how does that work?
Find drugs, find someone who wants to buy drugs, sell drugs for more than you found them for. Simples. Right?
Thank you for that link, MUCH better than the stuff my alliance puts out...Rooks and Kings are much respected by me.
Thankfully, they're blue to my corp 
Even big mean PvP corps need drugs
One of our directors used to be in RnK, unfortunately He couldnt (being an aussy) meet their time slots. He did help us keep solid relations though.
you should deffo give their other vids a watch. Great stuff.

I guess I'm kinda lucking being in such a big alliance (biggest alliance) that we just don't have time-slots. The only downside is our tactic...I shall reveal it to you. We go into a fight, we start to lose, we get more guys and they die...resulting in us throwing more and more dudes into the fight without any care
. RnK look to utilise real tactics and damn, that FC is good in that vid, kinda reminds me of DingoGS from my corp (he has his own latino corp now).You get no points or e-cookies for guessing what alliance I am in
THere are pros and cons to being in the big ones.
particularly for those who are industrialists and such. the territory and protection of a large alliance can be fantastic + a large customer base and experiance pool to learn from.
But i find the individual gets lost within it. and only the top 0.1% are known.
Not that I want to be famous, but I want to be a part of a corp and be able to contribute in a meaningful way.

I've sort of 'quit' but just have my skills ticking over. I am in Fatal Ascension on my main account. I find pvp is fun, but it doesn't happen as much as you think unless you go out into hostile space looking for a fight.
Fleet battles are good fun as well but the novelty wears off extremely fast when you get a bunch of ops that either consist of blue balling a pos defense and no reds turn up, or a structure shoot which you then have to fly home through 11 jumps without getting on a single kill mail.
I have had some good 1250+ player fights though. Time dilation does make it a little 'easy' to alpha the enemy at times. Watching a bunch of super caps bridge in and blow stuff up is always good fun.
I haven't played for about 2 months and I told the CEO I was leaving but he never replied so I could probably just pick it up again tomorrow. I would love to get back into trading but I don't really think I have to time to do that either currently.

You can buy control towers (and all the structures that go with them, ship hangar, etc.) off the market.
You can put one up in highsec with appropriate standings to the system sov holder or pretty much anywhere in lowsec or wormhole space (at a moon) tho a lowsec POS isn't for the casual player. Most of the good high and low sec moons have long ago been taken tho.
Nullsec is a bit of a different story and the proper stations/outposts, other infrastructure, etc. are a lot more work and cost involved and can only be put up by players in nullsec.

You can loot their ship but theres no guarantee you will have time to do that or you'll make it back to safety with the loot.
If your good you can potentially make quite a lot of ISK from it but the people who tend to profit most from it are more piratey types ganking industrial type ships on high/lowsec transition gates and running away if any real PVPers turn up.
You will only get destroyed by the NPC ships around gates, etc. if you engage someone in highsec without rights to kill them - in low sec the only stuff that will shoot you for engaging another player other than other players is the gate and station guns which aren't really a threat unless your in a weak ship, any half decent fit battlecruiser or up can pretty much ignore them for long enough to do whatever they need.

Anyone want to help out/join up with a few relatively new players? We are finding that you kinda need more than three people if you want to make some money or do some pvp
like earlier, when we went into lowsec, found roughly 7m in loot, but no players, then went into an even lower sec system, and two of us (me included) got destroyed upon entering by some guys who were controlling the system our other guy managed to somehow get out of there, closer to the sun whilst the guys who killed us tried to make some money out of him and probably kill him too, but he managed to scan and find a wormhole and get out of there! was really fun though, shame I lost my 110 dps cormorant though

PvP is hard at the start. Bigger doesnt mean better.
you're best off working on frigates and cruisers and forgetting the bigger stuff for a while. get the core skills and such.
Specialise!
