i can make every T1 ship below high-sec prices
because it's gona cost only time to mine the minerals
and have almost every bpo researched in stock with 100 me and 100 pe

other people calculate the prices for a ship by buying the minerals

a example you want to sell a carrier for 1.3 bil the only thing you gona buy is the bpc pack thats around the 200 mil so the profit is already 1.1 bil iff you mine your minerals your selfe

so iff you can't do caps just start building the ships they use for pvp and sell them in the systems close to the low-sec systems

greetings shock



Quick question. If you were to just sell the minerals, what difference would there be to you final wallet balance?

Woo! CSM XI!

who cares, the minerals he mined are free!!

While I suppose that he's right in saying they didn't COST him anything to obtain (other than time, which is apparently value-less whilst playing eve) ... they still have a value. You have to make sure that the value of the minerals you're using isn't more than what you're selling the final product for.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

While you have to wait (for example) 5 hours to mine the minerals for the carrier, someone else could have bought the minerals started the build and get the ship ready before you. You are always 5 hours behind him. And if you mine another time you are 10 hours behind. The more mine the more behind the other guy you are. At the end of the month he makes more profit than you, not to mention that the time you wasted mining, he could have done some missions for example.

The minerals you mine are not free. They have a value. And your time to mine them also has a value.

But tbh keep thinking they are free. I love buying cheap ships. PvPers love people like you, cause you drop the prices. Big smile
