You have no idea what you're talking about.


The big issue is time. In the amount of real time a dude will spend making 8 jumps for that Gila, he could have simply had his alt purchase 10 Gilas in Jita and had them courier contracted (with all of their fittings and ammo) to wherever he is stationed in low sec. In the amount of time it would have taken him to build/transport all of those hulls he could have made enough isk doing something else to pay for the transportation costs, and still had plenty of time for some pew (which is why he's playing the game in the first place).

In summary: Multiple stop shopping in low sec is for the poor. One stop shopping is for the lower middle class. One stop shopping IN BULK is for the rich. That's why the rich have more time to pew than the poor.


Even better, a market right in your home low sec system where you can buy in bulk at prices comparable to having it moved yourself.

We have lots of guys stock our low sec hub, but they still miss stuff. You're free to try of course, but no one individual can stock everything in sufficient numbers to make a fully functional low sec market work. And if they did, they'd be tying up hundreds of billions of isk doing so.

Yes because killing pods and newb ships in high sec is elite pvp yo

You can pick apart anybody's killboard and say their kills aren't good.

You can take the best combat pilot in the game, look at his killboard and see that most of his "kills" are actually just ganks.

But when you look at the fights against real competition and see how they fared, that is what's important.

If you think you are top shelf **** because you whack in low-sec, then challenge me. Instead of trying to nit pick random kills on a killboard for some cheap moral victory, challenge me. And I will come down to your system, explode your ship, and show you what real competition looks like. I've done it plenty of times before and I will do it again.

A real combat pilot knows you don't just jump into low-sec, or null-sec, dock up and start buyin' stuff unless it is a few minor things like parts for a frigate that you can fly out of system quickly anyway.



Kind sir, I will disagree. When that said pilot see's that a Gila or Orth is the cheapest in the region by 40M he will go there and try and pick up said ship, Stab it out, bust out his alts, and so on. That is when the fun begins.


I Disagree, Only people who need to worry about a measly 40mill will bother doing this, 90% of the community will buy in places of best convenience, Such as trade hubs, Not just look at the lowest in region and go "Oh my theres one in Amamake for 20m less than Amarr, Gonna scoop me that **** up!



SO you're telling me that if someone is living in 0.0 or in low-sec and they see the ship they want 4 jumps away. They would rather have it imported from a location that is 30-60 jumps away and also have to wait / do more work for that to happen? Instead of going to getting it now? Seems legit.

As previously said, Just use a courier service such as PushX and get it delivered. And order a few, I would never go flying around looking for a bargain, which was infact what you said, Not that people will jump around to get their ship, You said to get a cheaper ship they would.
