Science & Industry

I'm sure it sounds interesting for plenty. Now you'll just have to wait if there is someone that actually trusts you to keep such a agreement and believes you are able to make the trips save enough to be worthwhile.

Well most of what we see on these forums would actually indicate that most pirates cannot be trusted and if it isn't profitable no one interested in industry will bother with it.

Also the fact that you aren't willing to provide any compensation/security for who is setting this up gives me more the impression you want to lure in big targets to ransom/blow up then actually setting up a more permanent supply line to your homebase.

If you want to set it up I would say that the most important part would be you being able to garantuee that 80-90% of the deliveries get through so that whoever is running it isn't faced with 2-3 multibillions loses per month. As a side note the more secure your supply line is, preferably for multiple coorporation, the closer the prices will be to the price in jita or whatever other trade hub is closest.

OP isn't making any sense any more.

Use your stupid JF!

assuming you arent out to jack anyone who replies, why not list what you want delivered and what you think you would pay for it and see if anyone takes you up on that account


I know people who sell in lowsec hubs but they wouldnt take anyone's word on protection or being blued or any specific timeframes

either list what you want and hope it shows up, or buy it yourself and set up couriers that have good rewards+long durations+long acceptance times and package size that can fit in a viator or GSC's

not trying to be a **** just saying what i think might work for you.

Thanks for some useful info. Let me explain some background just now, I am currently stuck in a west african jungle on satcomms and cant undock (uberlag) I can just about update skills but thats it. My interaction with the game is therefore limited to chatting with friends in ingame channels and reading blogs. It is doing my head in but I am thinking a lot and logistics was one of the subjects I thought about. Specifically how can I avoid pissing about with logistics when I get back and have more time to blow stuff up.

Now I know very little about industry and logistics which is why I am here suggesting an idea and seeing if anyone has anythign constructive to say. Several corps have evemailed me and Ill probably talk to them on comms when I get back to the UK, nothing may come of it but it was an idea and either way Ill learn a bit more about a subject Im pretty ignorant of.
To all the annoying posters who accuse me of going to all this effort in order to blow up one indy ship, if I want to blow up haulers then Ill go blow them up (I could even suicide in high sec if that was my thing) but I prefer stuff that shoots back, mostly frigs and dessies - this is something I know about.

If you distrust pirates then that is a perfectly valid opinion and you should shoot first and ask questions later, just dont clog up this post with "argh you're a scammer" posts, the internet here is shite and it takes me longer to get to the people who are offering useful info.

You are almost 100% right.

I could JF everything I need into system and that may yet be the most efficient way to do it, Ive never tried but will give it a go soon.

I could get an alt to Jita (probably) or log one off there while Im somewhere with good internet and then use that guy to buy the stuff and contract to the JF.

But wouldn't it be more interesting to try to encourage a market hub in our system because again yes that would bring in targets as well as helping with logistics, you have a narrow minded and short termist attitude.

However, in the interests of fairness, and as several people have pointed out, I and my corp are red flashy pirates and make our living by shooting and ransoming other players. Please bear this in mind when jumping into lowsec. I would add however that we are also reasonably intelligent adults and not idiotic children only interested in short term goals.

By the way, thanks to all the guys who evemailed, Ill chat to you next week when Im in the UK and can use comms.

I never said it would. The idea of luring in non jump capable ships to be attacked by us was brought up by you and you are too stubborn to get that idea out of your thick head.

I expect anyone making a serious attempt to stock a market would do so with JFs.

Just because the norm is to buy in Jita and move it out doesn't mean I shouldnt try to create something more local.

For a bond to be valid it would have to be held by a trustworthy third party and not by either interested party.

It does sound like a good opportunity if some indy would get past the trust issue.

Send me your shopping list and forward over the ISK ....I would be happy to buy everything you need and run it out to you
