Ladies and Gentlemen, Capsuleers, businessmen, industrialists, thank you for attending. I am happy to see your continued interest in the Oasis Project. As you know, I am not a man of great monetary wealth; I come from, at least relative to other capsuleers, the humble background of the son of a Gallentean statesman. It’s thanks to political favors that I can be here today, but I aim to retroactively earn my status, position, and title. I call you together today to ask for your financial support on behalf of the Oasis Project.

[END OF ROLEPLAY]

Hello everyone! With the release of Citadels rapidly approaching, and with more information being released on SiSi, I’ve taken the liberty of putting together a cost estimate, using IskPerHour, http://evepraisal.com, and a calculator. As I’ve made clear since very shortly after the first announcement of the project, I lack the dosh to back it on my own.

So, let’s get down to the nitty gritty! Here is the cost estimate, based on mineral and component production cost, rounded up to account for potential errors or uncertainties.

One (1) Fortizar Citadel: ~11,000,000,000 ISK (11bil)

Fittings: ~1,000,000,000 (1bil)

Services: ~2,000,000,000 (2bil)

T2 Rigs: ~12,000,000,000 (12bil)

Total: ~26,000,000,000 (26bil).

26bil is the current estimate of raw material cost for one attempt at launching and anchoring the Oasis Citadel. Unfortunately, it isn’t quite this simple; There are several things that will raise the cost above the raw materials cost. To account for this, we are setting two fundraising goals: A minimum funding goal, and a maximum funding goal.

We are going to aim for raising between a minimum of 30,000,000,000(30bil) ISK, or a maximum of 100,000,000,000(100bil) ISK.

This will give the project plenty of wiggle room in case production costs change, unforeseen costs arise, or the potential travesty of Citadel destruction takes place. This also grants us extra ISK to pay for potential markups. Any left over ISK will be put into the warchest, to be used in case of emergency.

We will be using a sticky on our subreddit, /r/OasisCitadel, to keep track of funds raised.

We ask that all funds be sent to the Oasis Freeport Wormhole Citadel corporation, ideally with the “reason” field being “Oasis Donation”. This will prevent any kind of name confusion.

The success of the Oasis project is now in your collective hands, will you do your part?

Begging in GD, this can only end well. Can't finance 30 bil? You have no business owning a citadel in the first place.

If you want to build the citadel on your own, then dont forget the price for the blueprints. Iirc the Fortizar blueprint will cost you 70 bill isk. Good luck. Big smile

Raising ISK for the Oasis Citadel Destruction Project.

We have a goal of 10b.

Any amount will help set this Citadel aflame.
And we thank you for your support.

I'm not very enthusiastic about having to go to reddit for EvE info at all, tbh. Post all your project info here as well.

imo your project to build a community freeport for wormholers sounds like a good idea and you should make that clearer at the very beginning of a post rather than kind of looking like you just want monies.

I'll donate a billion when I get online next, purely because I want to help destroy one, so paying a Billion to actually go blow up a citadel as oppose to just watching my ships get sploded seems worth it

Totally had a spare 23bn recently, but it got spent on rattlesnakes before I saw this thread.

Sorry!

We are at 77.83% of our minimum 30bil ISK goal! Let's go a bit further to reach our minimum goal. After that, we will begin shooting for our maximum funding goal of 100bil.
