Prerequisites: (or whatevery everyone thinks is appropriate)

Wholesale 4
Procurement 4


Franchiser: This skill allows explicit selection of systems for which a multi jump buy order is not eligible. Each level allows 5 additional systems to be removed from the buy order up to any within the region at level 5.

So this is a convenience skill. If for instance I want to set up a buy order in an entire region I can do that, but lets say I dont want to travel into low sec to pick up goods... then I can just using a "checkbox" approach deselect the following systems from a list. Filters can be in place for all low sec or high sec. Same goes for if I only want stations along a trade route. Have a filter that allows all systems along a route from point A to point B but excludes all the rest of systems in the region.


I don't see this as a game breaker in anyway it just allows people to better use their procurement without having junk lying everywhere.

I'd have to say no on this one.

A lot of people, and yes me included take the risk and make a fair bit of ISK on the highsec/lowsec fringe buy orders. Covering like 3 highsec and 2 low sec systems.

We take the risk and we are awarded as such. I'm sorry you don't want to do the same but you shouldn't be allowed to **** on our rewards.

I lied :o

It can still be done without having the new skill just takes a few more well placed buy orders and with daytrading 5 it basically amounts to the same thing in the end.

Aside: If someone wants to **** on your trade route they will, with or without skills.
