Jita is great and all but let's increase something on the OTHER side of the FW line. Sometimes, the best thing to do is have a random moment of compassion. |

A bit more specific and some data would be needed to motivate a group seeding and hub building.
Generally some statistics on populations, types and densities etc..
There are most likely plenty of oppertune markets out there..

So why hasnt someone undertaken the the task of filling all items (or close to all items) at all stations everywhere.
It would be a serious undertaking but imagine how the game might change if everything you needed was in the system with you.
i dont think it would be for the better of eve but it sure would be a cool endeavor. |

Would be interesting. What you'd need is an area with good agents and good mining, I'd think. LP earned near Jita aren't worth a whole lot and I doubt the minerals are optimal either. I don't know how important ratting is, but good rats won't hurt. Having a location near player-occupied nullsec would allow you to be their highsec destination.
Once you find that, place appropriate buy and sell orders and advertise the hell out of the area. Have massive quantities of freighters running between the system and the other trade hubs.
If a suitable location could be found, I think this could be done... Expensive experiment, however, to get it started. |

You didn't read the report properly. There are more people in Amarr space because there is more Amarr space. The hisec Amarr regions are Domain, Genesis, Kador, Tash-Murkon, and Khanid Kingdom (I'm sure I left something out). The hisec Minmatar regions are Metropolis & Heimatar. The hisec Gallente regions are Sinq Liaison, Everyshore, Essence, Verge Vendor. That's not including the hisec islands such as Solitude.
So simply from the number of regions available, you'd expect Amarr space to have more people in it assuming that hisec was equally crowded everywhere. Of course one thing you will see as space gets more crowded is more people actively running missions in Zorrabed and Gulfondi.
That being said, if Burn Jita lasts more than a week I would expect another nearby system (such as Perimeter) will take over temporarily if Amarr doesn't take over as the major hub. After all, Amarr is already a hub, and it's just as easily accessible to people in Minmatar and Gallente space as Jita is, and is already stocked pretty well in comparison to Jita.

Hek is tiny. It's more of a mission running hub then a trade hub.
Based on total sell order value:
http://eve-marketdata.com/reports.php?step=Station
2117B - The Forge - Jita 521B - Domain - Amarr 320B - Sinq Laison - Dodixie 351B - Heimatar - Rens 201B - Metropolis - Hek 165B - Tash-Murkon - Tash-Murkon Prime 76B - Essence - Oursulaert (Villore is 48B) 61B - The Citadel - Motsu 58B - Khanid - Agil 53B - Lonetrek - Sobaseki
(and I'd love to see someone figure out total transaction volume / amounts per day - which would be far more accurate as a measure of what the top 10 trade hubs are) |

I heard people say this when I started toying with the idea of Precipice Industries. While im still a way off before declaring the venture a success, the above statement is misleading and false.
It can be done, at a profit provided one does the research into the area and the needs basis off it. Its a harder slog then simply setting up shop in an existing hub, and you have to deal with all the problems of a trade hub along with all the problems of low/null sec.
TL:DR Its not impossible but its alot harder to do individually and with enough financial backing to be profitable. Most people put it in the too hard basket so it doesnt end up working out.
The people that COULD make it work on an individual level (ie, by investing vast resources into the area) dont want to bother with it as they already have established interests. However, its actually a viable and achievable target for a collective of mid-ranged corporations or individual traders, provided they could actually work together and not cut into each others established markets.

Ammatar Mandate, aka Derelik.
Berta is the closest the region has to a hub, due to it being the HS gateway to Curse. Sendaya would be its Low counterpart (arguably). Most of the rest of the region struggles due to Rens being so close, and are primarily mission hubs anyway.
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
Just more subtle.

Or would you have to go region-by-region and basically assume that e.g. Forge vs. Domain is roughly proportional to Jita vs. Amarr? Which is probably fair enough, Amarr seems to have more than 80% of the sell order value of the Domain region, and Jita more than 90% of The Forge.

The market history graph / data is only available on a regional basis.
It would provide a way to cross-check the "sell total" numbers. Is Jita really that big? Is Amarr really that small? Is there some other region which moves a lot of product ISK per day? |

Umm yes I did & its what I meant. Amarr proper (the system) would be the HUB best situated for all Amarr space so far unless people start congealing around some other mission HUBs say closer to Ohide? To the whiners : CCP Soundwave "Incursions are not a big issue in terms of isk globally" |

i dont think it would be for the better of eve but it sure would be a cool endeavor.
its mental because with max skills each character can manage only ~300 orders, it would take you literally dozens of accounts per station to handle the orders, and you would commit suicide after running just a few accounts as full time station traders especially in a theoretical/non-existant hub, that has very little volume.
basically it doesnt happen because its not a good idea under the current machanics, switch it to unlimited orders and let us write algo's to trade instead of manual management and it might happen, but thats ccp's ball not mine |
