EVE General Discussion

many solo pvpers use them.
not sure if large null sec fleets use them too, pretty sure they don't.

I'm trying to figure out if booster manufacturing would be a worth while investment.

Now that they are legal in Highsec, there is no reason to not use them anywhere. If you are flying in a big and slow blob, it would probably not make all that much of a difference, but in smallscale or solo situations, they are simply great. I myself use them whenever they make sense for the ship I fly.

Any solo or small gang fleet I use them, as do all the other guys I fly with.

Anything more than about 20 ships, I don't bother unless I'm in a specific role (eg. I'll use Quade Zero if I'm a scout/tackle).

Actually, another question. What seems to be a more popular choice in booster? Synth, Standard, Improved, Strong?

Really an issue of wallet.

Standards normally run 2-4 million
Improved normally run 8-12 million
Strong normally run 24-28 million

I often find that when I take a standard, I usually get 0 or 1 side effect and it's often a side effect that has no real impact, but when I take improved I'll get 0 or >1 side effect and then it can be a PITA. So I usually use standard, but occasionally improved.

Well I wrote a long and rambling post that I call a 'back button' post. haha! I do want to answer your questions though as best I can. I used to work as a saleswoman for a Pharmaceutical corporation called Akheretu Integrated Astrometrics, they were based in a C2 wormhole and part of the Es and Whizz alliance.



The booster users I ran into were always mains, and your Hollyweird highsec mercs, or lowsec characters, some very space famous! More than half my orders were individual solo lowsec pirate types and the other half would be huge corporate or alliance level orders.

To learn how these things worked, I used a Standard Exile once and ended up getting a ton of side effects so I just kinda kept to myself tripping out in Captain's Quarters. I didn't care for it personally. YMMV There's some good info out there - I wish I kept some of the graphics we had internally or screenshotted some of our forum posts. We had terrific internal guides.



The short answer is: No. Most orders were of the Standard version of the pills and the margins were extremely razor thin We produced them and always hoped they'd order any other version. Sometimes you can sweet talk them into a couple Improved versions.

I was lucky to not have any corporate roles because this is Eve - I only had to help people set up WTB (Want to Buy) contracts but I have no idea how we could manage the flood of orders we got. Honestly, we couldn't keep up, we were often backlogged. (We had to use WTB contracts because of clunky and bad game mechanics)

My corp bought back ANYTHING I mined, even if it was booster gas we didn't need. Stockpile everything!

And what I know now is completely upside down now that you can haul these things without any trouble legality-wise.



Standard is the.. standard without a doubt. Like I said before, razor thin margins.

I think if you could get into something where you produced one type of booster and could sell it off wholesale, you'd be better off. It was very difficult keeping every kind of booster in stock and ready for delivery.

I have some seasoned dandruff from a gas site. I can share if you need some.

I dont do drugs. Its a plant. It grows like that. But if you just so happen to set it on fire... Ohwait you meant boosters.

Boosters are legal everywhere now. So there may be a few more instances of them being used more often than before but it still seems to be a niche thing.

i see, discouraging the competition... nice strat
jk

op i recommend you to try it out by yourself, at least to learn something new: you're always in time to let it go :)
