Warfare & Tactics

Wow I actually feel sorry for you guys now. I hadn't realized things were so bad for TEST. You guys need a loan?

I mean, first of all, 1250 is for calmil, testies get 1350. I don't quite understand - upon market analysis I've come to the conclusion that while a few items are going for 1500+, these are low volume ones. The majority are between 1000 and 1500 right now. Trading the high margin ones works in a small militia, but unleashing a thousand testies on the market would make the prices tank within days. The alliance payout of 1350 spreads the LP on more items, even the less profitable ones. This prevents us from crashing the market instantly. While it hurts individual income short term, it makes it more sustainable by keeping the prices from dropping. I am totally fine with making only 200m/hr because if we keep that up a month, I can plex my accounts until the end of days. But since you have a superior knowledge of economic mechanics, especially in FW, you've come to the same conclusion, so this post isn't directed at you directly, but more to a couple of logic-resistant naysayers who apparently missed their economy 101 classes in high school.

It depends how fast you need ISK - a lot of people wait for the pendulum to swing and slowly sell closer to 3k (I'm pretty lazy about my items and making LP in general, but I am pushing around 3k ISK/LP right now on high LP items (meaning less units to sell), only about 13,000,000 LP left to sell).

No troll, I am seriously rooting for test to keep T4 for at least another few months. I have quite a backlog of LP to sell.

I think not, Starship Troopers was about enlisting for your country, not about betrayal !!!

i think Princess Nexxala's point is: rich people won't bother with such calculations

Personally i have never farmed LP and have never sold LPs i got from killing FW targets. I make more than enough ISK without all this effort

Thats why I stockpile during those times when GalMil has T4 or T3. The pendulum swings often enough and I am a lazy, cheap ass. I hate farming and I fly cheap ships. I have never tried out FW missions.

Being in Gallente isnt as bad as you think though, I remember when we were at T4 it was quite hard to find quiet systems that were not yet very near to 100% contested. And when I do farm LP, I dont want to pay attention to the screen.

A friend of mine joined EVE at that time, he was wtching some TV series while plexing, he payed for EVE exactly once and is since then plexing his accounts. He has godlike patience. I would go crazy with so much orbiting xD

Yes, we are. I know that the smarter ones of you lads have a calmil alt, but since I don't know the numbers on these, I don't count them in in my calculation.

I didn't realize winning faction warfare would be so easy.

Good job TEST and CalMil!

So what you're saying is that plexing noobs will now make better isk/hour in Gallente militia - even if we're only at Tier 1 (have you seen FDU LP store prices lately?). Will probably be like that for a long while since TEST has a boat load of faction items to sell over a very long time period.

If TEST and Caldari FW are a noob's best friend, then I'd hate to see their enemy.

We in Gallente militia promise nothing except fights for our noobs. And you'll be able to make some isk for yourselves as well (and not for TEST).

I have never done FW. How is everyone supposedly making all this isk? LP for what? Ships? Mods? I might try it as I'm so very new here.

Can someone post a screenshot? If it is ships how do you move them into a market hub? Courier contracts? Fly them yourselves?

I've watched a few videos on You Tube but it only shows plexing and stuff. Never what you actually have to do to get rewarded.
