EVE!

[TheVrolok]

Finally decided to get into manufacturing/production with my alt. Was kinda left in a hmm what to do position with the alt since it was purely a trade character and my personal logistics. After finishing Freighter/JF/Industrial Command all to V was pretty much out of stuff possible for trading/hauling.

Should be interesting since I haven't messed much with making stuff in eve before, I have tons of datacores and all kinds of salvage and junk as well.

I'm actually doing some of the same right now with PI/manufacturing. I'm not entirely sure I'm going to be turning big profits (or any real profits), but it's something else to do which is nice.

Make sure you do your market research before jumping in. There's plenty of things you can make with salvage and junk that won't sell for much more than the salvage and junk. Plenty of things that will sell for less.

Already did that Checked out some stuff that I usually sell on my trader that has a good move rate and profit and checked on how much it would cost to make. Bought a few BPO's (nothing major) and gonna research them up a bit after I get some skills up for it all.

Should prove interesting and at the very least insightful overall.

Yeah, I'm not looking to make crazy bank, but if I can increase my profits then awesome. If not, it isn't a big investment really and the newness of it has its own rewards

Nice. I don't think I will ever go higher than LG slaves, since I just don't put much effort into making ISK. But maybe someday I will get a little more greedy and figure out an easy way to make more isk than I currently do.

Speaking of spending billions of ISK... ()

I am quitting Eve (again) as I just don't have the time right now to devote to the game. I will more than likely return at some point, but I'm taking it a step further and selling off my high skill characters. Before I post on the official character bazaar forum I am giving my fellow AT members here an early bird offer.

You are quitting EvE...and selling of your char...for ingame currency...in a game you are quitting...wtf?

 

[imaheadcase]

You are quitting EvE...and selling of your char...for ingame currency...in a game you are quitting...wtf?

People sell eve characters for real cash instead of isk.

Lots of people sell items/ships in game for real cash all the time. Hell, i sold every account I had with Eve from every time i tried it and gave up on it. Made my money back in fees

They even have corps made with dozens of active players just for that purpose..

 

[Red Storm]

Read my whole post.

I said "I will more than likely return at some point" and so if/when that time comes, I'd rather have billions of ISK in the bank ready to be spent than have to start from scratch.

SP > ISK *shrugs*

I'd rather have the high SP character, rather than the ISK, but your post still doesn't make sense. Why do anything now? What use is it to you have an inactive account with billions of ISK? You might as do nothing now, and when, and if, you resubscribe, sell the character if you still decide you'd rather have the ISK than the character.

Unless your ultimate goal is to obtain real-life currency in exchange for your character, Longberg's post still stands.

 

[Red Storm]

... Characters/accounts would seem to be more valuable if I was going for real money. Liquid ISK is more valuable to me than SP locked into an Amarr character. I've played Amarr as much as I want this go around and the next time I come back to EVE I'll want to play another race, which can be obtained with... ISK.

That still doesn't answer the question. Why are you selling the character now?

 

[Red Storm]

Cause it's the last character on an account that is set to expire next month?

Anything else Mr. Spanish Inquisition?

Ahhh... It was a good night last night in Eve. Ran several WH sites, including 2 Radar sites which both had their escalations. As a result we nabbed two 10 run Tengu Hull BPC's (really what we got were a few malfunctioning ships, which we were able to successfully research into the BPC's ). We plan on keeping at least one of those since we can then make the hull's (and that is what we are running as a corp). Made about 300mill in loot per person as well.

We also almost timed a POS takedown perfectly, but we popped the guy just a little too soon.... We at least got all the modules that were outside the shields (a dozen guns and another dozen ecm/webs/disrupters). We launched our bomb just a little too soon and killed the guy taking it apart before he had offlined the tower (and he/or a corp mate logged/warped in and put the shields back up.

We actually did time a pos right about a week ago. Republic Alliance was taking down their pos in our area, since they were getting slaughtered on a daily basis by not just us, but our neighbors as well, and we logged off a hauler next to their POS. He logged on when the timer was set to be done, and was alone in system. He scooped the large POS and as he was warping away, a Badger showed up to take the now missing POS.

Actually we stole a IHUB in a similar way awhile back. Found a wormhole into null-sec with an offlining IHUB. We waited out the timer, took a freighter through the WH, with a falcon to protect it, scooped the IHUB and went back out the WH. When the people who were offlining the IHUB came back for it, we thanked them for the module and went on our way.

Yeah, we do that as well, especially in WH. We will usually anchor a secure container (doesn't cost much) and name it with a nice thank you message within scan range of their POS for whatever it was that we took. It is a nice reminder for them for the next 30 days or so

I think our best was a "Found: Proteus Faction fit. If missing please contact LGU". That sucker was worth almost 2 bills.

 

[Martimus]

We had a good day killing targets today. First we had a T2 rigged Drake come through (well maybe not all the way through but he made it into low-sec at least before taking the quick way home.)

http://nawti.evekb.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1790443

That was one of the most expensive Drakes I have seen.

But the Abaddon that we killed later in the day really takes the cake for expensive T1 subcaps: http://nawti.evekb.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1790975

That was actually a 3B ISK Abbadon! Flying around in lowsec trying to pick fights. I still can't wrap my head around that.

I missed both of those kills since I was at work, and then working out. I was a bit bummed, but I went and looked for my own targets to kill, and I found a guy running a site in a Pilgrim. I warped in in my Arazu, and pointed him. Little did I know that he would drop 600M isk worth of loot

http://nawti.evekb.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1791041

The funny part is that I was probing for a 6 of 10 plex right before this, and couldn't find one. I ended up getting 6 of 10 plex loot from this guy, plus got a 1B ISK killmail to boot.

 

[Fallen Kell]

LoL at that Abbadon! Probably someone who just spent $100 for PLEX that he then sold.

I havn't run a plex at all yet. At some point I guess I will have to try it. I make enough in WH though to keep me more than happy.

Last night was a little slow. Was the only one on from the corp, so I just set some PI stuff and went over to my market trader. Really kind of sucks, but the market on one of my best items dried up for some reason. I was selling boat loads of this thing each week at huge profits (like 100&#37. I think I was making 300mill a week just from that item, but all of a sudden it stopped selling (I guess people stopped being lazy and decided to make the 6 jumps that I was making to buy it).

 

[JSt0rm]

1 billion isk armor repairer. hahahaah. What idiots.

 

[Kadarin]

That still doesn't answer the question. Why are you selling the character now?

He can use the isk later to buy a different highly skilled character with different specializations if he decides to come back.

 

[Ross Ridge]

That's the answer he had already given that didn't answer my question.

 

[KaOTiK]

That's the answer he had already given that didn't answer my question.

The longer you wait the more SP characters get and thus higher SP characters on the market to buy. Cashing out now will mean he will probably get more then if/when he decides to come back and his characters SP hasn't been increasing like everyone else.

That's my guess.

 

[Fallen Kell]

So this sort of was a crappy night. Almost had a great night... Almost....

So we were hunting around just looking to see if there was someone to kill. One of my corp mates jumps into one of the 3 wormholes we had links into tonight and spots a harbinger and a tengu on d-scan. So he let me know and we both get into our RR tengu's and start to fit up, but, he was a dumba$$ and not only forgets to bookmark the other side of the wormhole before he warps off to one of the planets, he also forgets to cloak. So there he is d-scanning and system scanning (not popping probes to announce his presence) UNCLOAKED!!! All of a sudden he yells for me to get to the wormhole because he is getting attacked (and didn't mention that he didn't have the bookmarks to the other side).

So I warp with him into the wormhole without me changing to a full PvP fit (I was only missing my eccm), and we immediately warp to his scan ship to help out, needless to say we didn't bookmark either since time was of the essence....

We had the tengu with 2 points on it, and I put a point on the harbinger to keep it from going anywhere as well while we started to pound the tengu. Unfortunately my corp mate's buzzard was still moving when we warped to it, so it was well out of range of our remote reps, and was never able to get it into range before it popped. We then proceed to break the shield tank on the tengu and had it at 80% armor when all of a sudden it must have turned on a microwarp and is suddenly 29km away from us and warping off... We then shift targets to the harby, and proceed to pop him at least. Then a loki warps in on us at like 10km and starts shooting, so we did the logical thing, locked him, pointed him, and returned fire. We get him to 10% armor and then he microwarps out and then warps (neither of us had a web or warp scramble because my corp mate didn't CLOAK up and rushed the start of this fight).

While this is going on, we get on the phone with 2 more corp mates to see if they can get in (since neither of us had the bookmark for the wormhole exit, nor had probe launchers, especially since the buzzard was popped). One guy was out eating, and thus wasn't near a computer, but another was home and logged in to help. But also in our haste, I hadn't dropped bookmarks to the location of this wormhole, so we were asking him to start scanning it down (and he sucks with probes still....). He had scanned down our static C4 last night, but didn't warp to it then, and luckily that was the same one we were in, so the location hadn't changed even though he found it a day ago (since he didn't activate it, and none of us did until tonight, it didn't start its timer). And he pops into 2 more tengu's and a covert ops with his characters.

In the meantime, we are just sitting still over the wrecks of the harbinger and the buzzard waiting to see if anyone else shows up for a fight since we knew we had 2 more tengus less than a minute away. We keep waiting, and a drake shows up on d-scan, and then the tengu again. We keep waiting, but now we are thinking it is best to make a safe spot while we wait for the covert ops to jump in so we can warp to him and bookmark the exit back to our home system. Just as we warp out to make a safe, the tengu warps back to the battle site, but it is too late and we are already in warp....

The covert ops enters, so we decide to warp back to him. And then a typhoon, and a onyx show up on d-scan (along with the drake and tengu). Since we really were not fit well, we decide to go back to our POS and complete getting fitted up (with 1 web, 1 warp scrambler, and 2 warp disruptor across the 4 tengus, with everyone having eccm as well). And we warp back into the wormhole again, with just the 2 tengus like we originally had (hoping to bait the typhoon, onyx, and tengu into a fight). But no go... They were all just sitting on their wormhole entrance as well (they didn't inhabit the C4 either, but were just connected to it).

Really kind of sucked. If we hadn't warped out to make a safe, I am absolutely certain that the tengu that came back was their "bait" figuring the 2 of us wouldn't be able to hold off it and the typhoon (which would have been true, but we had 2 more tengus waiting to come in and we would have stomped on them).

Well the end result was simply this harbinger kill.... He was gank fit too with no tank (not a bad idea when running with that other tengu since the tengu would almost certainly be primaried).

To be honest, I would have primaried the Harbinger from the get go, since they have good DPS and don't have the tank a Tengu can have. Although that Harbinger didn't have a point, which makes its usefulness in a PvP situation questionable at best.
