What if the moon is no longer full when it crosses mid-sky in your timezone?

Moons are only truly full momentarily.

Sigh. Why does every Tom, [Richard], and Harry who gets involved in industry insist on starting with ships. You tell people until you are blue in the face that ships are invariably high risk, high investment, low return, and something only the very experienced industrialist should think of touching with a 10 foot pole.

But no, people just don't listen. Why should I make drones or ammo or modules or rigs? Those things may make heaps of ISK, but they aren't SEXY, I've just gotsta make me some ships.


So as a newbie, I should not build ships with intent to sell, but rather to keep for my own use in mining or battle while I continue making ammunition to stock up newbie career station(s) and known major mission hubs like Arnon's SoE station, simply because ships' material cost relative to ammo, modules, drones, and rigs(?) makes their isk income less of an overall profit against both monetary and time investments to make the things. Am I reading this right?

I do know that Antimatter S sells quite well in the Gallente newbie hubs, as past production runs put up for sale have been completely depleted in a couple days; I'm guessing it'd also fare well in Caldari starters. Not sure how Amarr laser crystals do in terms of running out and needing more, when compared to missiles and bullets, or how even the non-"standard" ammo (defined as every type other than those given by tutorials to newbies) would do in the same stations; something for me to market research/test.




If you want to be efficient, you would normally just buy your ships, while spending your time doing other things.

Efficiency can be over-rated though Blink

Woo! CSM XI!

It was a typo; naturally, it should be whenever it hits mid-sky over CCP HQ. It's okay if it's not precisely full, so long as it's on the correct day, and you're clutching your lucky penny.
