perfect addition to this would be bonus that probes wont show up in dscan.

Warp into fw plex. See merlin on dscan. Take acceleration gate along with 30 man blob to kill merlin. There is a Merlin, 7 Rooks, 5 Lachesis, 4 Huginns, 3 Curse. 8 Ishtars uncloak. Moracha, Etana and Chameleon decloak. Fleet warp to Sun asap. Notice 3 Thanatos on dscan while in warp. Land on sun, 3 Stiletto, 5 Hyena and 1 Thorax sitting there with 45 fighters assigned. Lose everything.

Probably not even worth the 220b profit from them.

Wow you're really rich. I'm curious what pilots as rich as you do with all that ISK?

This is interesting. If you don't mind sharing some general notions as to what.. say Trillion 'level' pilots.. do with so much ISK?

I've done business (sponsorships) with entities such as Somers (pre-fail of course) and others before, and I've seen how, generally speaking, they just don't even know what to do with all that ISK anymore, just looking for ways to spend it, at least that's how it felt in communications anyway.

I remember when I first started making videos, roaming solo, I was really poor. I collected every abandoned drone I saw in space... That kind of stuff. It had its own charm, that survival-style behaviour, way of Eve-life. But tbh it got old after a while and quickly I realized its time to either stop and find better means of "living". And knowing myself well enough to state the fact that I'll never agree to any kind of time-consuming grinding activity (where probably the game feels like job, "probably" because I never even tired it), it meant either find some kind of passive income, or find some sponsorships.

I already "quit" eve like 3 times. When I do log on it's for very short periods of time, in which I usually roam enough to make a video or two, and fade away again. But in the greater point of view, I got to this place where ISK is not a problem anymore. It is a good place for any PvPer I guess. It's a bit sad to see really good PvPers "grind" to fit those ships and end up losing most of them to blobs anyway, then frustration just builds up. I ended up giving most of the ISK I ever got to other pilots. But even all the ISK I gave in the last 3 years probably doesn't go over 200 billion total. So it's funny to see you talk about 220billion like it's not worth your time :-)

Anyway back to the point, already I could see that there's only so much ISK I can spend on my own PvP (unless I'd start roaming extremely blinged out stuff, which is just not my style), and the rest just accumulates if I don't give it away. I mean PLEXing my account for X time in the distant future (and if I had an alt, which I don't I could do the same for it), but for me this accumulation becomes tiresome, and I honestly can't understand how some people only make tons of ISK in order to... Just have it, and keep it? What's the point? But that's when talking about billions. When it comes to trillion/s I'm really curious what people do with those kind of sums.

Actually it's one of the articles I want to write on Eve during 2015 (got a list hehe), interviewing some super rich pilots.

I found it truly amazing to see what a couple billions can do to motivate a PvPer that is usually in a rather space-poor place, it can inject a whole lot of life. So I guess to be extremely space-rich is also a position where you can be of incredible help to others. But its funny how those entities that reach that really rich place, get a bit disconnected from "the people", it's a lot like in RL I guess... And then their very access/ability to help feels 'out of reach'. Interesting this whole topic.
