With the advent of citadels this might change.
But just wondering, are there any current pirate trade hubs comparable or close to the supply offered by Hek, Dodixie, or Rens.
Have there ever been (to your knowledge) lowesec stations that have come close to this kind of supply? Were such trade hubs a success or failure? What where the challenges?
I ask because for many players who do not have really good trade alts going pirate is very difficult...acess to a lwosec trade hub might fix this.
And so far I have not seen any, certainly not Amamake (there is no one station) and Tama might have been although I haven't gone to check it out lately. |

Pirates generally use the the nearest hubs to their base of operations.
Piracy generally doesn't lend itself to trading. |

Once upon a time in 2013 when brave were in lowsec their home station was about as close as you would come to a lowsec hub of trade. In the past I have seen attempts at creating a market in Auga, Old Man Star and some system in Black Rise that I can't remember it's name. The problem is a lack of steady reliable business and if it starts to get used much alpha ships setup shop outside

You'll have an exceedingly hard time setting up a trade hub anywhere there isn't enough security for shipping to get to/from the station relatively unmolested.

Yes Ive had some time to think this through and get some feedback from folks who have already done this before.
It IS doable but ofc the reason tradehubs in eve are what they are is due to their location and natural advantages - they do not need any one person or group of persons to maintain.
With a lowsec trade depot someone (or group) has to maintain it; continue bringing stuff in to sell.
The lowsec metropolis region near Hek needs an injection of traffic - just putting that out there.
Also I was told that if a citadel with trade stuff gets popped the items go to the nearest station?
Something liek a Fortizar would solve the problem of alpha ships camping the station...which open up a whole new level of challenges and content :P
Another option if doable, is to put an Astrahus inline with the instawarp from the station undock -- immediately tethered unless there is some freak problem like lag.
I have identified a lowsec system that is really huge (making it more difficult to d-scan ships) and jump freighter range of Jita, Evati, and Dodixie...it isn't MY base but wouldnt mind going there to restock. I may have to start a little bit of this on my own, but if anyone wants to coordinate with me feel free to message me about the location. |

If you're looking to do business in LS, the first LS jump in from HS is a great place to sell small m3 items. There was a time where I used to make a killing selling implants in the '1 jump in' npc stations. Find small stuff and sell it.
If you want to sell larger things - ships and what not, the best bet is to make friends with some of the larger LS groups and offer to set something up via JF for them. The downside is most of the larger groups handle this internally and won't be interested. The game is 10 years old, if there were any ultra lucrative options - they would be up and running.
I don't think a player station is the way to go. A lot of times in LS sand castles get smashed just because they are there. As has been pointed out, any success you have will be tempered in kind w/ opportunists.
The best angle I can think of as far as larger volumes would be the next time a large wh entity gets wonked. The norm is to respawn somewhere in LS (Syndicate more often than not). When they get ousted, find out where the respawn system is and figure it out from there. It won't be permanent, but that seems like you could do volume for a bit anyway. JF required!
If only CCP didn't succumb to asset safety pressure and enable the space magic fueled teleportation of good when player stations are burned down. Their pandering to the risk averse took away a lot of market opportunities. |

Like the one you owe me.
Unfortunately, this is also precisely why it would be difficult to set up: it'd be a hugely target-rich environment.

Meh.
Never happen because SOME PEOPLE just can't resist cynoing in a supercarrier to blow everything up.
Meh.

There actually is or was a spot for just this (lowsec capials not trannies that are owed)

There's the Maila keepstar where people sell their supercapitals apparently. Just add other stuff to sell there and voila lowsec market hub created? |

Hi there!
Well what I would like specifically is a concordant of traders, pvp-ers, and pirates to reinvigorate a lowsec system in Metropolis with modules, ships, and stuff as an alternative to going to Hek.
Once the system is decided upon (Resbroko looks ideal imho) we setup an intel channel to look out for gate camps so that the traders can use something other than a covops hauler (if no jump freighter is available).
Also to coordinate special orders for ships; a circle of reliable indies we will take orders - and we can get some ships plus modules from them.
For example right now I would like 6 Exequors for a specific fit plus modules delivered to our homebase in Evati by Saturday, and no one on my end has time to do it.
This might even flourish into a big operation if you specialzie in a particular area from manufacturing, special orders, and trading, form some kind of alliance that specializes in that area and attend to the locals' needs. :) |

Black Frog I think does this, just a different approach.
As has been said, any success will bring eventual failure. Eve isn't a place where you can build a thriving market in any area where supers can by cyno'd in on a lul. How many light years is Resbroko from Amamake? If it's w/in 2 cyno jumps - you're idea isn't the best.
You're better off just making a friend that hauls that can take care of your needs and be done with it like everyone else. |

I mean this is not relevant unless there is a structure to be bashed. Really the bigger problem is camps on the station. |

Well if RL history is an indicator in a lawless arena such endeavors, although profitable and exciting for a time, do not last. :)
Port Royale, Nassau Bahamas, Tortuga...wait was tortuga a real pirate trading post? hahaha
Anyways; yeh it wont last. It doesnt matter. Content is king! |

Someone in Basgerin has set up an attempt at a trade hub, named Tortuga.
It is not working particularly well for them, I am often purchasing things there - even things in high demand outside highsec like capital modules - and am having them moved to Dodixie or Jita for profitable resale.

Aside from Jita, of course.

Yes I've often gone to Thera to buy my Quafe Zero but there are just two problems.
It is on a pipe and on one side is Rancer - gate camped and smart bombed often!
On the other side is Hagilur which is surrounded by highsec! Pirates have to go through high to get to Thera from the faction warfare pocket.
Anher is a highsec island sysem that I sometimes go through to reach Hagilur, Thera, or eventually Hek; but...this one time there was an Onyx that JUST HAPPENED TO BE SITTING THERE ON THE GATE which had plenty of help from the gate guns and the npc customs; even stabbed and cloaked I could not escape!!
It would be better for many to not have to go to Thera. :P |

I'm not sure which PIPE you've been on, but I'll wager you 1 thanatos carrier that Thera is NOT BETWEEN Rancer and Hagillur. |
