lets say I ran into a gold mine - what do I do?
The ones that came to mind were
+5 set <is this worth it?> a bunch of POS's. - low & hi sec ones carrier split and invest into some of the bond/share offers
anything else? |

I second this notion.

Send this guy 100mill and he'll show you how to lose your isk in a few seconds.

hehe - I will send it to you rather. but you know, it is stuck in a nigerian bank, and you will have to pay a 200 million isk token amount to get to that...
are you interested?
Getting back to topic, any constructive ideas?

more skillpoints is always worth it i would think, though full +5's on a pvp character seems a bit mad.
i am newb though, I can't see how buying a carrier would be a good investment unless you were a Mercenary and it added to your corps ability.

can you explain that please?
I also see that Freighters are an option - money to be made in hi-sec hauling.

Edited by: Splagada on 24/07/2007 10:50:22 Edited by: Splagada on 24/07/2007 10:49:25 forget freighter really unless you play 23/7 you will heavily underuse it. its more a group ship. buy it with friends and share it around the clock or its a waste of isk. its bloody boring.
most outposts around space lack several things : first is T2 stuff, second is skillbooks
those can easily be sold at 40% above jita price, and people will be glad to pay instead of jumpcloning to empire
A list of what sells well (when i used to do that)
Astrometrics Salvaging Infomorph Psychology Basic industry skillbooks
its all cheap stuff, can put tons in a shuttle, and it usually sells well.
basic blueprints sell too (dont touch them or they cant be put on market anymore, they need to be "packaged") : tractor beam, ammo bpos, etc
just need some alliance and they will pay you the champagne for doing such a service.
T2 baskets are the standard modules that everyone or almost needs. BCS II, overdrive T2. ion blaster T2, autos T2. for that you need a carrier, but with only T2 stuff i could fill about 4B of stuff in a single iteron 5 with rigs in the carrier bay
it's risky with the T2 price drop but if your prices are just above jita it'll sell.
BCS2 for example sells like crazy. 0.0 ratters love it
in general there is no super uber plan. or it would be known. but that one is the easiest, the most useful for the alliance, and one of those that pays the best. best combo usefulness/profit.
forget personal poses too unless youre fine with a hours of maintenance task, on top of a 124M/month bill. ------

My advice would be to hang on to it for now.
+5's can be bought at a discounted price through the lp store so a possible route would be to take some of that money put together a decent ship (if you already haven't) and start running some missions and get the +5 set.
POSes are great until you have to fuel them. Unless your really dedicated and have some form of solid production this should probably be one of your last options. (although if you have the standing a research pos in highsec might be the way to go)
You could try for freighter runs.
If you live in 0.0 you probably should grab a carrier at some point.
Like I said at the start hang onto it until you find something that you truely enjoy doing, then invest in that. (unless its suiciding ships in jita.... you wont make anything off that)
Have a good morning

To invest it safely you should try some trading. Get a friend to sit in Jita while you fly around, checking the relative prices of various items in station systems with a high number of players in them (40-50+) Then buy low and resell said items.
Don't invest all of your isk at once though, and be prepared for competition, but trading is a great way to make isk once you have a nice float such as yours.

I think investing it in trading ships and tech 2 gear is a good bet.

thing is you got to resell really quick lately. some mods have reach floor price but most of them keep going down and down
i dont even get how T2 prod still works. had 2 bpos for a bit and im really wondering if most people sell at loss to clean their stocks or what.
was making less than 50M/week with both bpos combined, and well invest wasnt nothing :/
but the advantage of trading vs prod is that you can be "asset light" :p isk fuels isk
but jed's comment above+5 is good too. it really increase the speed of training ------

Well, as long as you di not aquire it from a corp that will com looking for it you can launch a POS to research. Research BPO's, make copies, sell copies, eventualy sell the BPO as well.
Have to be in a player corp with standings, so you can be wardecced, but if you don't get people mad at you, keep a low profile, I'd imagine it would be hard for you to get noticed.

impants aren't really an investment, although for the isk sink you get a return on the time sink, so i guess that's almost as good as isk. Play the market, it's the most lucrative profession in Eve, although to make the kind of isk you read about you'll need to invest a lot since you might only make a 10% return on your investment, but I think that is pretty good.

Hmm, 2 billion. Seems like alot but can be burned through rather quickly.
Do you have a learning clone? If not then setting up a jumpclone with a set of +5's is a very good idea. If you arn't playing for 24hrs+ then its worth the clonejump and enhanced learning times.
POS's are a great way of making isk, but a bunch of POS's on their own wont do that. You need a clearly defined goal with them. Will they moon mine? What will they mine? What will you do with this end product? Can multiple POS's mine/reaction actually produce a profit? This you will need to investigate with a combination of market research, and moon scanning to see what you could sell and what you can actually mine in your area.
Labs on POS's are another great way to make isk, but again what BPO's you get/copy compared to the isk you get back would need to be figured out as well. Do you have a set of well researched BPO's to sell copies of? Will you have to run at a loss for a while until your BPO's are at a sellable level?
Fuel for a POS would need to be aquired/delivered. Do you have a supply chain for this/pay someone else to deliver? How will you defend these POS's from an attack, could you summon enough logistical based ships to rep shields above 50% if needed?
They will make you money, but do you want this as a sideline investment or your main source of income?
Carriers are cool, you could spend a bill on skill books for them, and these can never be taken away from you once trained (barring muppet clone mishaps), they are a good logistical step for 0.0 warfare, do you need one?
Meh, answering questions with questions, not much help i'm afraid...

is there really enough demand for that to be worth the effort? there's tons of empire research POS already, and researched BPOs can often be obtained for slightly above NPC price. also POS maintenance really sucks.

Great inputs till now - keep it going.
1. POS in high sec:
as pointed out before, these don't generate enough money now - with all the labs in empire.
2. POS in low sec:
Am going to look into safe systems and moon mining options - but I am worried about the logistics ... if your char is ratting/pvp in 0.0 most of the time, the upkeep can get to you. Also, am wondering about the safety of the investment if I put this up in 0.0 without alliance support - what do you think?
3. Freighters:
yes - 23/7 might not be an option so parking this for now.
4. carriers:
the only reason I look at this as an option is that they can help me in hauling **** in and out of 0.0 - probably supplying the pos network. I don't see anyone putting all their cash in one single pvp:)
5. Does anyone have any comments on the investment options?

In and out of 0.0/ Are you crazy? Are you trying to loose your isk? You might as well go afk in empire with the isk in modules in your haul.
