I don't give in most of the time (kinda depends on how in love I am with the ship I'm flying), but I want to. Probably explains why I'm such a crappy poker player. Using probes, you can find a LOT of abandoned drones (often T2's) in systems where folks run a lot of missions. Nobody seems to bother to go back for them. Might as well scoop them and sell them.

As much FUN as it is to do so, it gets very costly very fast. It is really hard to get into the mindset of not plunging into certain death every time a potential encounter pops up.

It may sound stupid, but taking the time to loot abandoned rat wrecks, as well as the occasional floating husk of a destroyed player ship and abandoned drones really helps keeping your balance in the black. I made around 15 mil doing that over the past two weeks, just from the stuff I came across conducting my normal business (i.e. if i scan no players, I scan for wrecks in the belts as well and just check those out). It's not much, but it adds up over time. You can always do what I do Wens, steal everything that’s not bolted down.
