For the last few days, in addition to killing everyone I encounter, I've been trying to figure out how to attend
PvP school while at the same time achieving the following objectives:
1) Maintain former level of income (as in fountain)
2) Keep sec status above 0.0
3) Maintain constant production of PvP ships at HQ
4) Kill a cop (just to do it)
I know some of you have had simmilar goals, so here is what I've come up with:
1 + 2 can be solved together. I've re-opened my operation in WY-9LL and will be using 1/2 my money to
produce ravens and firox for the fountain market because zydrine there is cheap... the problem we face at HQ
is that there is no active market at our station and the refining efficiency really sucks, which makes it hard to
buy minnerals. In fountain, you can usually count on a 20-30% additional profit margin on ships... that's nothing
to scoff at. In building ships, you can set the price high and sell in low volume which means you really only
need to go up to fountain about once a week to adjust market orders and set up additional production. Ratting
in WY is easy, provides additional minnerals and ISK, and keps my sec status from getting to low.As CELES ad
other neutrals feequent WY so much, the XS presance it minnimal and that makes ratting easier. So, easy: 1+ 2
are solved.
Production of ships at HQ is still a problem despite having ISK, though, because the refine return at HQ is so low
and no one is selling minerals there (look at market history for more). Again, we can knock out two objectives
with one move. I'm going to continue research of BPОs and caracal production (which rеquires few minnerals) at
HQ‚ while moving larger ship construction for personal use out two jumps to Stacmon. This high/low sec split will
put produced firox ad ravens within 2 jumps... and while I'm in stacmon why not kill some convoys and maybe a
cop? For those of you who are interested, I'll be showing people how to camp NPC convoys in high sec over
the next couple of days. This is a good way to get your feet wet in industry w/o having to risk the large
scale aquisition amd use of minnerals in production, which of course carries with it some financial risk. after an
hour of camping you are going to have 10,000 cargo units of amarr bibles, polytextiles, R.A.M. components, T2
materials, slaves, and a variety of other random crap. Unless you have a capital, it's going to be a pain in the
ass to move... but you can sell the junk at NPC stations buying and keep the T2 stuff for later production or
just sell it to the highest bidder. Not a bad way for a new industrial tycoon to cut his/her teeth on the market.
..while this training is going on, I intend to kill a cop. I just want to see what a faction ship drops.
You're
going to be supprised how much you can get away with w/o CОNCORD intеrvention in high sec.
The only thing I still haven't figured out is where I can get a jump clone to make these trips to fountain less of
a pain in the ass. If anyone has any insight to that... let me know. So: there you have it: you can have your
PvP cake and eat it too. Hope this helps.
