This is probably where the problem lies. You don't have to go to every hub/sub hub to look at different hues, shapes and prices of blocks before you go back to original hub to buy the ones you were going to buy anyway.

Pull a Dusette and ***** for POS fuel. It's a totally viable solution. You just need to build up a customer base first. I may be in the market after what Candi said in that other thread >> If thuggin' was a category I'd win a Grammy |

I think the problem is the "3" part. Overhead gets cheaper the more people are involved. With three, you're looking at a lot of overhead per person.
If it was me, I'd daytrip or nomad with only three people. You could live out of an Orca or even an industrial, especially with the help of mobile depots. |

Even in a C2 you shouldnGÇÖt have trouble fueling your Large POS. Roughly the price for a month of fuel is in the range of 450m Isk.
I know that looks like a lot, but if you have at least 3 characters and 5 planets doing PI you should be able to make that, no problem.
ThatGÇÖs 15 planets. Run it with 4 extraction planets making P1. ExampleGǪ each planet just makes either Water or electrolytes. Each character can have 5 planets at level 4 skill. 2 for water, 2 for electrolytes. The 5th planet in the equation can be a factory planet.
This is a planet that will consume your P1 materals and make lets say coolant (P2). On a factory planet you can have around 19 advanced factories 2 launch pads and two storage facilities. Filling those 4 objects with 45km3 water, and 45km3 electrolytes will take on average 2 days to turn into coolant.
Then just go pick up the coolant, haul it to high sec when you have a good connection. DonGÇÖt haul it yourself, thatGÇÖs a waste of time. Just contract 700,000 m3/1 billion worth of P2(coolant) to redfrog and haul it to Jita. Average charge for red frog is like 600k isk a jump, thatGÇÖs cheap! Then just sell it.
You can turn over quite a bit of money in a week doing just that.
I made videos if you want to see how I set up my PI when I was doing it. (yes I know there are hot keys, now.)

As you are going to have haul ice in you are better off going for max profit on the PI. Then haul it out, sell it, and buy fuel blocks. Former forum cheerleader CCP, now just a grumpy small portion of the community. |

Phoebe Buffet wrote:Thanks for the serious replys. (some of them were anyways) It has helped us think thru a few more things. We know that we can fuel the POS but it would most likely take up a huge part of our earnings that way. Thats what we are looking to change. Recruiting is not an option. Yes it is a Class 2. We are doing PI up the ying yang. We are good at avoiding hostiles. So for three girls I think we are doing pretty well, except for the POS fuel issue.
Assuming you have all of the planets required to make POS fuel, 1 toon can make enough POS fuel PI components for 1 large tower/month using 5 planets. All you then need do is buy the ice products - around 150 - 180 mil/month - and build the fuel blocks in the hole. Just running the sites in the hole should be enough to pay for the ice products. Don't mess about ice mining or anything like that, just buy the ice products off the market.
The rest of your income comes from other types of PI (you do have all 3 alts on each account in the hole, right?) and from running the sites in your static wormhole connection.

Bleh.....this whole situation is not getting any better. We have tried to make some changes but have suffered some catastrophic losses while trying to do so. Linda claims she is having lag/connectivity issues that caused the losses. We may end up losing everything (or what is left) unless we can get a substantial loan or something.

Pack up and rebuild. For a group your size maybe a C1 with a medium tower would be a better start. PI is just as good, sites are easier.
edit- or join a more established group and learn from them. |

If you're planning to call that c2 your home for a long time, a large tower is a must. It would be very hard to take down, and probably not worth the effort of the attacker.
That being said, if its more of a short-term way of generating isk, a medium tower would save you alot of your fuel costs, and would still be quite annoying to take down if setup correctly, considering the c2 ship limitations. You could still get evicted though, assuming they really wanted your wormhole, or you really pissed someone off.
As far as how to get it in, you could make all the PI components in the hole, and just ship in the ice components and manufacture inside. This would save you part of the costs. Though personally i think it's easier to just buy the fuel from empire and ship it on mass. You still recoup some of the costs from selling the PI regardless. I wouldn't recommend mining the ice yourself, unless you really need to. There's entire legions of scrubs in empire doing that for you already.
Most of all, don't give up and don't listen to the haters. I hope to hear a good success story from your 3-girl venture! Post with your main, like a BOSS! |

We are still trying but its kind of bleak right now. We lost an Orca fufll of stuff and a couple battlecruisers. I didnt want to say because its embarrassing. Linda and Carmen didnt even want me to start this thread. Carmen just got a DUI so she's freaking out anyways. My brother gave me his accounts with some highly skilled characters but I'm new to the game and dont understand things and get in trouble. The one thing he didnt give me was ISK and thats what we need the most. We tried to mine ice in the high security but the locals keep telling us to leave or die if we dont buy permits.

Yet you insist on staying in your own personal corp? Probably the best way to learn is to join someone else's who does what you plan to do already, even for a short while.

You could be sitting on a gold mine with those surplus characters. Depending on exactly how highly skilled they are, then selling one on the Character Bazaar could either solve your financial problems for a few months or allow you to live a luxurious life in space for 1 year+. Of course you'd need to be prepared to pay the transfer fee, but you'd be quickly be reimbursed through the sale (so long as the rules are followed).

3 girls around a stick and not sure what to do in their hole. That's why I voted against female allowance out of their husband's ships. I however wish you good luck in all your whatever thing you are doing. I will even try to enhance your crazyness by suggesting you to buy ice materials, pi products and build your fuel in the pos using a well trained BPO. But that would imply you girls know what trained means. Have fun.

I'll ignore all the female bashing because there are a couple nice guys in this thread. I'm not sure if things are getting better or worse for us. I sold a Navy Vexor my brother had stashed away in Dodenvale. Linda used the money to buy more fuel blocks and she brought in Caldari fuel instead of Amarr and now our exit is gone so we are stuck in here with fuel we cant use. |

You should seek help in the appropiate channels: - Bobisgreat (much trolling and alot of wisdom) - DTP Podcast (No1 Podcast in Wormholes) - Rolled Out (to meet people from the other side of the globe) - FCFTW PUBLIC or No Players Barred (Smartest Wormhole Corps alive)

Step 1: Buy orca with insane amount of w-space ISKies Step 2: Send Orca to Jita/Amarr and buy fuel blocks Step 3: .... Step 4: PROFIT!!
Honestly though, if you're dead-set on making the fuel blocks in the wormhole, just buy the ice products in high-sec somewhere and ship it in with an orca or deepspace transport. Hopefully you can make enough PI in your home to keep up with the fuel usage.

You are on eve. And ... You are amarrian. Expect to be bashed. Remember,we are simply following the principles His Holy Highness the Emperor tells us. And Bob is happy with that. If you want to be emancipated, here are the choices: - Become a widow. - go to high sec. They venerates some gods hidden in isk fortress from the null. - dont involve yourself in a roleplay you dislike. Also I don't care about your RL gender ;p
Have fun in eve. And take care. Ha. Also. Welcome.

God can this be any more desperate?
Have some pride and sort your **** out instead of basically begging for the opposite sex to take pitty and help you out. This 'whoring' is just blatant and distasteful and gives the rest of your gender a bad name in gaming.
This is the reason people are bashing on you, not because of your gender but because how your are whoring out yourself because of it. Valencia Mariana The Red Circle Inc. |

If you're really new to the game, I'd recommend packing up and getting your stuff out of W-space. Fly around and do things in Hisec for a little bit, play through the new player missions available from the help screen; or create a new alt and follow the tutorial. You need to figure out what you enjoy doing before you can go do it, and the new player missions show you quite a bit of what you can do in the game. It also familiarizes you with the controls of the game and some basic game concepts.
Once you have an idea of what you might enjoy doing, look through the recruitment forum threads and find a corp that does that, and join them. While you absolutely can start off by yourselves in W-space with zero experience, it will not be cheap. You'll pay much more for mistakes there than in hisec as the costs for starting in W-space are exponentially higher. Drop a POS in hisec to work out mechanics of running one, learn some of the things you can do with it, and then go into W-space with experience behind you later on. You can always day-trip into wormholes -- just remember a scout, else we'll chew you up.
You can ***** yourselves out to some people and get free stuff, if that's what you're really trying to do, but you'll be much more successful if you are more well-known and don't have to ask.
