You forgot to say 'please'.
Or is this meant to offer a road to riches for MDers? If so, it might be a good idea to stop posting. |

Would it be impertinent of me to wonder whether the thing that really grates about MD investing for you is that it drowns out your attempts to corrupt the flow of information for your own purposes? |

173bil
I had no idea that major alliances had such low incomes (well, actually I had an inkling when I read the chatlogs surrounding the fall of Atlas and their squabbling over a few hundred bil). Presumably this is a peace-time figure and goes down considerably with major combat operations?
Is the low number due to any special features of the Goon setup, such as low or non-existent tax rates, perhaps? Or is this pretty standard? |

I was only really interested in the profit figure. As you say, supercap builders can clear similar levels and I've had a 3 man highsec corp making monthly profits at about 55-60% of those cited by the Goon spreadsheet. I guess I'm just a bit surprised that the large alliances don't have their own in-house industrial isk-printing presses when they have such a huge manpower pool to draw on and when just two or three well-run operations could double or triple their profits. |

Industrial wings that do any more than provide infrastructure for that goal usually end up being a cancer to that very culture.
I understand how a focus on individual isk-making can undermine morale and community (e.g. NC and Atlas) but I'm struggling to see what the negative effect would be of utilising, say, 30 members of an enormous alliance in a way that doubled or tripled the income received directly from holding space. |

Dude, you're dissuading an opinionated, intelligent, independent wordsmith from tackling issues in the modern intellectual landscape? That's the contemporary version of stabbing the caveman who's showing everyone how to start fire. He'll just write some version of a memoir or autobiography. Or something that has enough opinions and anecdotes that it might as well be. Just trust me on this.
Autohagiography incoming. |
