Doing the agent shuffle

Friday, July 17th, 2009

It turns out that my recent loss of access to a Lai Dai R&D agent is owing to a change in the way the connections skill works in conjunction with an actual negligible standing, so regaining access to the agent is not a simple matter of running a couple of ...

Buying cheap ore by selling it

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I need to restock a couple of items on the market, but trying to install the BPOs for manufacturing highlights deficiencies in my depleting mineral pile. I only need to get hold of a fair quantity of one mineral at the moment to keep my production lines running, so ...

Expanding my invention prospects

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I may not have been able to manufacture many drones and modules from the two Tech II BPCs I was able to invent but the few I am able to produce all sell quite quickly at prevailing market prices, which seems to offer me a decent enough profit to consider ...

Putting a price on Tech II invention

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I have a couple of Tech II BPCs! I had better make modules out of them, so that I can begin to reap the profits of my medium-term industrial venture. Checking the manufacturing tab of the BPC I get a list of the parts required to produce the ...

Tech II invention doesn't greet you with open arms

Monday, July 6th, 2009

With some time available in high-sec space to run my industrial operations I think it is perhaps time to try inventing some Tech II modules, if only to convince myself that I am not simply flitting from one short-term goal to another and am making overall progress in my desired ...

A return to known space

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The main problem with living out in w-space, away from the known regions of New Eden, is that there can be little to do by oneself. There is no regional market or stations, which means no buying and selling or manufacture of goods, and no agents to talk to ...

Need to expand

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Waiting for the scrapmetal processing skill and its prerequisites to train saw my stock run quite low and once I could refine my mission loot I set to replenish my stocks to healthy levels. In picking out the BPOs for the modules I was confident would sell I install ...

Becoming a daytrader

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

My latest production run of modules comes off the manufacturing line and I ship them to the handful of markets I have found to be lucrative, finding again that one station with a level three mission agent has no heavy missiles and so is ripe to be exploited. Some ...

The first one hundred million ISK is the hardest

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

As I refine scrap mission loot in my current Core Complexion, Inc. base, before gathering more scrap from my cobweb-gathering home base and on to my Caldari Navy mission base, I take jumping around the region as an opportunity to modify the few sell orders I have outstanding. The ...

Processing scrap metal

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

With sell orders running low and no new manufacturing jobs running I take a break from building up my standings with Core Complexion, Inc. to replenish my stocks. This isn't a random series of events though, as I have been training in scrapmetal processing recently. This should let ...
