Nobody is going to do your homework for you. Do it yourself. If anyone "knows" they wouldn't share the info for free and if they did it is most likely they are misdirecting you, if they gave away their trade secrets it would be counterproductive to their profits.

Ok so here's the deal, you want to look at what PvP guys run, they almost never run the biggest guns (so they can run more tank), so focus on the smallest guns in each of the S/M and L ranges. Also don't bother with short range ammo, most ammo is actually lost when PvP ships blow up and they tend to run long range ammo to kite with so focus on stuff like photon and nuclear.

That is terrible advice, unless of course you said that stuff just to prove my point about misdirection.

medium range ammo is really awesome because of the tracking bonus! and I only fit big guns because more dps is always better! for that matter stock lots of Hail ammo more dps for everyone! I anticipate 1400s really taking off this year, all them people about to be flying BCs at the end of the month haven't thought about dank BS alphas yet Twisted

The only times I use 1400 is for incursion fits.

The only time I use 280 is for suicide gank thrasher.

Not a story it is the truth.
I spent years watching markets etc to try and get an edge, why should I give it to you for free?
If the offer was large enough I might be inclined to send you some information.
But that would be exactly like what you are getting here, would I send you the truth, or send you false information to screw you over?

Lloyd roses linked several kill boards, looking at those and any other kill boards could be an excellent source of the information you seek. There are toold in game and on out of game web sites that could help you track what is selling and where you could use those.

In other words you want profit, go forth and work to achieve it instead of expecting us to give it to you.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best I award you a -500 for your efforts to get others to do your work for you.
It was very transparent and poorly thought out so you will need to work harder on that as well.

I'll give you just a bit of information for free:
1. 1200's are bad
2. (non-tech 2) long range ammo is bad

Who ever said I own a secret? When it comes to the markets of EvE there are no secrets it is all there in the data in various places for anyone with the desire to go and find it. I simply said I was not going to give it to you for free.

If you are working on something in game that helps other players, especially those new to the game then post it up. You just might find that the players in this game are extremely generous when they know what they are helping to support. The Magic School Buss and The Angel Project are just two such groups that are able to offer significant amounts of help to many new players because of the donations of ISK, ships etc that others freely give.

On the other hand if you expect us to believe that you are doing something that is beneficial to the game as a whole and you are not willing to share what it is, then as I said before go forth and do the leg work your self instead of being lazy and expecting us to do it for you.
