You can run mining ops while still being dangerously misinformed about how things actually work.

Mining in RELIC sites? Really?

The entire crux of your argument is that people should engage in hideously sub-optimal money making strategies to produce a pittance of the materials needed while simultaneously hitting their heads against the brick wall that is the literal game mechanics of Eve: Online, instead of adding a very small concession to highsec to ease the movement of minerals throughout the market.

I don't know where in high sec you are, Sentamon, but I suspect something is wrong with your math.

Currently in Jita, the buy order price for Tritanium is 5.34 isk each. The buy order price for Compressed Veldspar is 2061 isk each.

Assume you have mined 1M units of Veldspar. That is 100k m3: less than 4 mackinaws, or less than a single orca. In a high sec NPC station, with maximum skills and the refining implant, you can turn that into 3,004,600 tritanium and sell it to the buy order for 16,044,564 isk. Or, you could turn that 1M units of Veldspar into 10k units of compressed veldspar and sell it to the buy order for 20,610,000 isk. To compress the ore cost you 1 hour of fuel at a small POS, which is between 150k and 200k isk depending on the faction.

So compressing this 100k of ore would net 4.3M isk more than refining. Bonus, it also made it much smaller and easier to haul. This has been consistent for the last several weeks.

I'll let you do the math on all the other high sec ores. Then figure out how much ore you can fly to your POS and compress in the hour your POS is online.

So im recruiting miners, anyone wants to mine some veldspar in 0.0 belts feel free to mail me!

this thread is reminding me though why it's so great to whip the lash at highsec

we gotta do that some more, it's been a little while since we ground our boot in highsec's face and taught them who their masters are

Also, is asking for any change "crying," or is it only changes you don't agree with?

So, should no man in Eve: Online, a spaceship game, ever deign to attempt to better their own position in this manner? How deep does the cognitive dissonance run?

If the given supply of a product cannot meet the current demand, then the general response is the price increases. As the price increases this gives other suppliers the incentive to increase the volume of the product in demand. Eventually the supply of product and the accepted value of that product will somewhat stabilize.

It may not be happening fast enough, but it will eventually. Now this is Eve so the opportunities to screw over each other, set up a cartel, manipulate the price, or just be a **** are endless.

Offer more isk for what you want and the market will respond.

Aaand you just made my mind up..I was about to buy a pos and array.

But there is no way i'm going to compress and sell to you lot now.

I'll take the minute hit in lost revenue (and a lot less hassle) cheers.

Isn't there a song about true colours? If not there should be.

Work out the value you can move in a blockade runner of compressed ore. Then blink, work it out again. And consider not using a Freighter.

freighter loads of high sec barely tops 400 mil

Anyway, I bring in freighters, setup a pos, compress and jump out, all in about an hour or so

Small faction towers take 12 min to anchor and online, very little overall time


You act like this is my first rodeo
