Howdy Eve community!

I would like to throw an idea out here, and get some feed back from some of the more experienced players.
My experience, in Eve, is limited to high sec activities. However, I want that to change.

The idea is simple:
Supply null sec corps, with supplies.
Whether it be ships, modules, ammo, w/e...

The thought is that corps/alliances, that are at war, need supplies to continue the war effort, and we would like to supply them.

At the most basic level, is this a reasonable idea? Are there alliances out there that need supplies to continue a war effort, or are you guys mostly self sustaining?

Most alliances have logistics wings of some variety.
In some alliances they're organized and run with alliance/corp ISK.
In most/all alliances much of the supplying is done by individual alliance members who seed markets and contracts using their own isk and making a profit when they sell.

Call it the Logistics Corps vs Logistics Bro methods. Just about everyone who uses the first method also has some of the second going on.

If you want to do logistics and make money, grab a JF and join an alliance (I wouldn't tell many people you have a JF for some time after joining). Once you're settled, feel out the market and start importing stuff.

Many other ways to make your goal happen.

Low sec hub building next to 0.0 is one.

Becomming blue with a power block and adding to the markets they run is another.

Make sure your trading goes in both dirrections for max profit.

Drug business is a good business. I'd involves high profit, but finding customers can be a problem.
