How about cap/super cap build packs? Obviously you cant build the ships in high sec, but what about a pack including a ship BPC plus all the (built)parts needed to build it? Would save a chunk of time for whoever wants to build said ship and thats a big incetive for such a pack.

Invest in more titan BPOs and sell the BPCs. There are never many BPCs on the market for titans. The BPOs NEVER lose their value.

-buy t2 bpo's
-create corp, put an alt of you in ceo
- make deal with somebody (me?)

basicly put that person in corp as director, roles could be worked out more(no need to be director)
lock down all the bpos
then that person would rent the bpo's from you

if that person is not producing enough, making enough profits, not paying you can kick him out the corp
and you still have your bpo's at value. value might even increase

For further questions you can always mail me.
I will contact back with my main

kind regards

Guys - your creativity is great. Have also received some very interesting ideas in game. Can't make an update of the top 3 here and now, have to think about that. But keep the ideas coming in. In game ideas will count too, at least as you place a placeholder post here 'Have send you idea in game'. That way people can see at the end that the top 3 ideas will get rewarded. Keep 'm rolling! Regards, SL

@CCP: please do not ban me. it's just a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy people's millions (or billions) of unused CONCORD LP in bulk at a discount. Sell the faction BPCs in packs of 10 on contracts and/or the implants on 90 day orders.

Also, hire a Jita spammer to advertise your faction BPCs and implant prices.

Uhhhmmm..... you just won your own contest right there. There have been a few suggestions hinting at this allready but it seemms Blatantly obvious. time is money, since you need more of it you should buy it. If you don't feel confident managing several assistants and staff find a good social person that will spend his time to clearly understand your goals and plans and find/hire/manage staff to do so. at that point the stars are the limit.

Time is the most valuable resource in the universe.
Good luck.

buy up PI goo while its still cheap....................... after the destructible customs offices and tier 3 bc go live your pi goo will skyrocket in value

you could build the new custom offices to sell or just sell the goo to someone else that will need it to build those first few custom offices to sell.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Perhaps you could try Jump Freighter production? I think the demand will defiantly go up due to the changes coming to supercaps near you. Freighter BPC packs can be used as secondary income.

Here's my reasoning:
Supercaps currently allow large alliances to wtfpwn pretty much everyone. Capitals have no chance, atm. With the coming changes, people will be more cautious throwing their supercaps around, allowing smaller alliances to move into 0.0. These alliances need transport, and they probably won't be able to run a normal freighter through null.
Ferrying supplies for a growing group of people with Carriers is going to get boring very fast. Hence, Jump Freighters.

You can even build them in hi-sec, and I doubt freighter bpo's are going to loose value anytime soon

super easy:
ccp announced player owned customs office. there will be a massive ammount of demand for these structures with few supplyers. you will be making a high margin of profit the first 3-6 months by default.

you can sell them and you and anchor them collecting passive ammounts of isk through taxes.

PI is about to take a major kicking.

PI change

For the first few weeks the price should spike by a huge margin on all the related products. It will take a few days just to get the new offices placed and the smaller alliances/corps and solo folk probably won't be able to get set back up for a longer period. Anyone doing PI in highsec would experience higher tax which would boost the price to compensate.

With the amount of ISK that you have - you could buy up a huge volume of the "P4" items and then sell them off when the change hits.

The other effect of this change is that folk will want to "kill off" the new offices. So there would be more cap fleets fighting over them. Unless, of course, they have so few HP that a 10man BS fleet could incap them.
Making up dread (they now have something new to bash) packs would not be to bad an idea as you already have the component BPOs and so would only need the Dread BPOs to start off.

Several ideas, mainly related directly to ships:

For a more immediate profit:

New battlecruisers are coming, and they're going to be fast ships that can fit battleship sized weapons. What does this mean?

Buy a bunch of high quality battlecruiser sized afterburners and mwds, and battleship weapons that are popular for roaming fleets. When the new ships are released, people are going to be clamoring to buy a ton of high quality fittings for the ships to see what they can get out of them. The high damage output and supposed speed and lack of tank will ensure that they're going to be buying things to make them faster and hit harder, so it makes predicting what they're going to fit easy. Buying a lot of high-quality faction ammunition for the weapons will also turn a profit come the time.


For profit coming in winterish:

Buy a bunch of hybrid ships like the Megathron or the Rokh. Hybrids (especially rails) are supposed to be getting a buff in the Winter expansion so the prices of hybrid platforms like these should spike immediately afterwards. Even if the buff is not that high, uninformed players who only know that rails have been buffed in some aspect, and may impulse buy cheaper ships like a Ferox as well.
Along with this, the buff to dreads means that these will increase in value as well, so stockpiling some of them is recommended. Buying a lot of fighters will also turn a profit, as when all the motherships lose drones they're going to need to buy a LOT of fighters to replace them, and stock for future uses. Having a control over tons of fighters, with a new, sudden, demand for them could make a lot of money if you're selling them in the right areas.
