EVE New Citizens Q&A

I hope that you are in a system/station that gets some traffic or you may wait a bit before you sell all 6 of them (although a PLEX is usually a guaranteed sell).

All you need to do is right-click on the plexes and select 'Sell this item'.

Make sure that the price that pops up agrees with you and click OK. The PLEXes will either sell automatically to someone looking to buy them in the station, or get on the market in the station you are in until they are bought.

If you want a particular price and more control of the sale of the PLEX, you can always create a public contract and sell it that way. Which is to right-click on the item and select 'Create Contract'.

It would be advisable to sell them separately if going via contract as it will be more difficult to sell all 6 in bulk to one player as opposed to 1 by 1 to different players.

Good luck.

Quick easy way:

1) travel to market hub (e.g. jita)
2) press ESC, then "redeem items" button on bottom, then redeem those PLEX into game
3) right click the PLEX-items you now have in items-hangar and sell them

Also do NOT read any buying/selling PLEX offers in local-chat. Those are 99% of time scams and you can lose your PLEX if you go for them.

Thanks for all the advise guys. I did a bit of research before I purchased the Plex. So I ended up making the purchase while in my hanger at Jita. Shouldn't be a problem selling from there and no need to move it elsewhere I hope.

... in an unfitted hulk

Sin, you know that I cannot, and will not ever fly a Hulk ... I use real shipz.

Zornia, not knowing your skills the only advice I can give you is :

- Make sure you have a straight-line exit safe for the station. ( for Jita this may take a week of trying at odd times to find a time when it's quiet enough to get an actual aligned exit path.) Make sure it's away far enough, and never spend more than 10 seconds at that particular place.
- Never use an industrial for stuff like this. PLEX has no volume to speak of, there's better stuff to move it around in.
- EHP whichever way to the max. even if it seems silly. Artie alpha *hurts*.
- Make sure your agility/align time is as short as possible. mix/match with "regular" tank, but realise that the longer you hang around, the longer peeps can scan/target you. This is crucial when exiting a major trade hub. Cloak, and tank are useless there. Align time is everything.
- if you can, use a Cloakie recon/SB, and practice on permacamped lowsec gates on how to efficiently use that cloak before you even try. Highsec gate clutter might force your hand. never assume a cloak makes you "invulnerable".
- Use the gate "invulnerability" to the max to assess each leg in your journey. You got 60 seconds if you don't move, use them, look around, check your overview. Then, and only then move. Again, gate clutter might force your hand.
- If chased, dock up anywhere, clone jump ( or leave in your pod and in local, then dock in another station for your local newbie frig), and leave it for the day, unless you're really sure of yourself.

( all of the above makes good practice for getting around in low/nullsec without ending up in a pod as well.....)

[edit] Make sure you have your route planned in your autopilot, active, and your overview sorted to distance: furthest --> closest.
Hang around any busy gate to see why you do it that way.

It sounds like a decent tanked ship (no experience with Gallente BS though).

But keep in mind:

You are flying a NI Mega + a PLEX. Means if a griever corp/alliance cargo scans you. They will know it's in your hold and might just gank you for the tears (Not all ganking in high-sec is for profit, some do it just to annoy you).

This works "Perfectly" with your setup as:

Megathron NI = 500mil avg. price
PLEX = 500mil avg. price.

Means even without the fit you are flying a 1bil setup, means they can throw a good amount of ships at you and still be ISK efficient doing it.

The problem with a mega is that it's align time is rather long, especially in the pinball game exit that is Jita. All the plates and hardners you need influence align/warp time negatively as well.
Anything you install to make the thing turn faster detracts from your tank, because you use low slots for that....

Then there's the sig radius.. The bigger it is, the faster they can lock you and fire at you, so you want that to be as small as possible as well.

In general that's why I prefer prepped covop frigs for this kind of "extraction". It's "tank" is the simple fact that with the right preparation, it spends roughly 2-3 seconds max at the station exit, even in Jita.
Which is not enough for the usual gank setup to scan you, alert people, lock you, and fire on you.

If you do things properly, you'll be visible at a gate for less than a second aligning for a jump. (Since you're jumping manually, arriving at a gate in high is never a problem.)

The art in this kind of thing is be nimble, be fast, and be away before they can register you're even there. You can't shoot at something that's gone already...

Just a hint from one noob that was stupid enough to travel into 0.0 WITH plex and be lucky enough to NOT be ganked :-D In 0.0 you CAN sell plex for 2x more money than usual (and some valuable implants). Problem is that you more are more likely to be killed in the process.
I did it because I was too stupid to know the risk at that time and when I was trying to sell it I learned that there is a sector few jumps away that offer much more money than I could get here.

Luck of newbies ? No idea :)
