Market Discussions

I am new to eve and trying very hard to establish a half decent income from trading, a 5b helping hand would be the best xmas present an eve newbie could hope for. It would be used wisely ( i hope ) and kick start my at this moment very poor income.

either way have yourself a good christmas

I currently plan to startup a reaction pos farm in lowsec.
5b would allow me to start with like 4 control towers including all materials for the whole first production week. Current plan is to break even after like 3 weeks and then building up more towers to create a steady income.

I only started playing earlier this year, but I'm planning on doing manufacturing and blueprint research/invention with my corp. We're fairly small and don't have many options for making isk so it's been slow to start up, we're hoping to get into the swing of things by mid next year. Saving for the things we need is taking longer than expected. I actually made my first spreadsheet for it today, so that's nice.

For making the isk so far, I've been doing trading but I pay for my game time via plex which takes a big chunk of my earnings every month. Learning new play styles in eve is incredibly hard, especially with the amount needed to actually get into them with any degree of success, which is causing further difficulties.

Words are hard, so that explanation will have to cut it. Thanks for doing this giveaway, I hope that it'll help the people that end up getting the isk.

I would like to expand my operation into blueprint copying and researching.

The plan would be simple, find blueprints preferably at below NPC and research them to acceptable levels, once that is done I would start making copies and selling them this would give me more regular liquid isk.

Since I now have regular liquid ISK income, I would expand production of T1 items.
If the prints can generate enough income, I would look into finding a regular supplier to simplify logistics which would make my life alot easier.

I was thinking of trying to find some Alpha mining corps to supply me, so I could help out the Alpha corps with regular income as well.

Thats basically my short to medium plan.

I dunno much about businesses, but I know how to make some delicious pancakes. Think about this, who's happier, someone who's working hard to make a little more income, or someone who's eating pancakes..

INGREDIENTS
1½ cups all-purpose flour
3½ tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
1¼ cups milk
1 egg
3 tbsp butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Stir milk and egg together.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour the butter and milk mixture into the well.
Use a wire whisk to stir everything together until just combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be well incorporated.
Allow the batter to rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium high heat.
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake.
Cook each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown.

That's not a very good business plan.

Just give them some of your ISK :-).

Might aswell give this a go. I recently came back, upgraded account and started with what i got. Currently im focusing on inventions and some production until ive trained the skills to jump to capital part production. This way i will get there slowly by myself nyt ofc 5b would make it alot easier to start the production lines.

Thx

They probably do it because they saw how much ISK people like me made doing it on combat recon ships.

Even dumping them onto sell orders during the post-rebalance demand spike paid build cost + 25 million.

Hi, awesome that your doing this!

I'm a beginning player but I'm currently training up lots of industry skills, with this I'm hoping to start my own corp together with a friend I made that has a lot of experience already and shares the same goals in this game as myself.

We'd like to get our own station and pos's up and start manufacturing ships for our members so we can have little fleets going through low and maybe even null and wormhole space (would love to set up my own pos in a wormhole system! lol), learning pvp and pve as well as it's all good fun. I'm working on an alt to be able to haul stuff around but I only have one character and the dual character training is not cheap so I'm switching a lot when I cannot afford it, then there is my isk race to a freighter of course.. It would help greatly towards my goal of running my very own corporation (and maybe even alliance soon) and having people aboard for a grant adventure, I have started working on the road towards it but being a beginning player myself it all takes a while.

I guess my 'business-plan' focuses mainly on having fun and gathering experience with a good group of people and not the maximum return on investment.. I'm sure I will I grow it bigger as I have made a lot of progress already.

I'm just an elf that got laid off due to amazon. Although I don't have it as bad as Donner or Blitzen.
