I was wondering what you guys think is a good income to aim for/keep around.

When you buy income weapons, what income do you stay at?

I aim for a 1m/hr after upkeep

I think you have to assess your risk of getting capped. Body armor has 15 defense but very expensive upkeep. At $200/hour this works out to $4800/day. If you sell one you get only half your money back so you esentially lose $12,500 per armor but will gain that back in less than three days. So as long as you don't buy them back within three days you're ahead of the game. You need to weigh this with the chance of getting turf capped if you don't have them.

My point being, I don't necessarily think there should be a certain percentage of upkeep to income. I think you should assess your own situation. I think you should pay just enough to not get capped(unless youre an aggressor then it's a different story). Obviously the more money you make the better. I just don't see the point in putting money into upkeep weapons unnecessarily.

I dont see that necessary yet, maybe I will when I'm big enough :)

I'm basicly going to hoard up 150M in the bank then buy as many upkeep weapons as I can afford with 1M an hour.

I have nearly 370,000,000 mil hoarded up if I need it

I recently spent 25$ on don points (you're welcome, nick) and, after a couple loot crates, (I'm unlucky with loot missions) I increased my turf limit. Time to increase that good ol' income.

I guess that you mean 370M.

My upkeep is around 10m/h and my income is around 5m/h and I'm growing my income whilst buying more upkeep weapons and armour as I mob up not sure if I helped but that's what I do.

I'm going to buy more body armour. Who cares about .1 million dollars when I can have beast armour for my men?

So I hop over and cap all your turf. Then when you can't rebuild you don't care?

This is a great question, I'd love to hear more opinions from the big mobsters.

I have just under 50% of my income going to weapons upkeep.

If you are in a safe area and are surrounded by allies dont waste too much on upkeep weapons, I'm making 9M/hour and I'll keep on saving the cash I make in case I need to arm up quick
