EVE General Discussion

You won't really be able to do any importing into player-owned outposts, they almost always have docking rights restricted to corps/alliances with +5 standings, and in some cases, even +10.

As a neutral flying into null in a freighter, jump freighter, or hauler, you can be guaranteed you'll light up the intel channels and a gang will come after you. Never mind "waving a 50" at the cashier at the "local macdonalds"... even if you make it to a player owned outpost in null, the door will be locked per say on account of you not having the standings to dock.

Your best bet really is to join an industrial corp in a null-sec alliance (or a corp that just has decent industrial policy). Alternatively you can join a renter corp who usually have wide access to other outposts where you can sell your product. Solar Citizens for example can freely access nearly all outposts in the Drone Regions.

One of the most utterly crappy downsides for null-sec manufacturing is the hard limit one outpost per system, unlike high-sec where there are 4-5 per system. So, null-sec is hugely and in my opinion unfairly disadvantaged in this regard. Yeah, you can put manufacturing arrays on moons, but then there's the whole issue of keeping the POSes fueled.

You could make NPC space trade hubs for people living close by.
There is also Providence which is NRDS NullSec where you could choose a station and stock it as a hub, there is a lot of money to be made in Provi for people willing to stock the stations there. 3KB has a nice selection of stuff but is far from being a hub.

The best and most interesting thing when it comes to trade in 0.0 is to go to alliance hubs in a cloaky (you can't dock but with trade skill you don't have to) you buy up all the cheap goods which they often stock for their members. Then you resell them at huge mark-ups.

You can make a huge amount of profit.

It makes them incredibly buttmad, it's great. I've been on Jabber in their industry rooms, all they seem to talk about is how buttmad they are at people who do this. It is honestly, maximum market griefing.

Warning:

They'll continue to try to restock, so you just have to buy those up to. Luckily you'll have help in taking the cheap stuff off the market by other people doing the same as you.

I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

Null-sec trade hubs don't exist, null-sec retail outlets do.

"Telling the truth" is "twisting it"?

I'll never understand the logic of some people.


Now, now, I know you see the word "goon" and your eyes glaze over in a fit of rage, but that's no reason to demand that someone kill themselves with their own vomit. For shame.

Quit making me agree with the goon. we're supposed to hate these guys with all the venom and bile we can muster, remember?

Part of the forum social contract or something like that.

FYI, only the line members get mad at this. Those of us who actually stock the market count our profits and reseed. So, thanks I guess.

Yeah, it's done. Usually at corp level though, not alliance or coalition wide.

This. Alliance/Coalition wide indys are kind of rare for the purpose proposed. Corps will usually have someone who does a Jita run once in a while for stuff. Alliances, if well enough established and trusting, will do that as well. I had an indy in my nul alliance who got ridiculously good prices on command ships.
