As the title states, how much ammo do you use?
I'm really not in to this war thing () and when producing "Packs of ammo" it is really hard to tell how much they need to contain. I was looking at the contacts (always a good way of getting information on how much items cost ) and saw ammo packs with only around 500 units in. Now I have "happened" to produce 50.000 units of EMP M (Projectile ammo), so now I got enough for 100 packs or what?
So if you use could give a "round" number or something near what you use on a week or month, when it would be great. Just so I got some kind of number to go after. Thanks!

Are you trying to sell ammo by contracts?
Ammo should be sold on the market, people can buy the number they need, you can put your 50k to be sold on the market, you only have to choose well your selling spot. For EMP M, I would suggest a minmatar lvl 2-3 mission spot.
If you see little packs of ammo in the market, it's because people looted some ammo on NPCs (by packs of 100) and sold them when they have enough to interest someone (1000 begins to be interesting for most people, but I am a bit ammo eater and will use up to 30k antimatter charge M in a week, so I buy packs of 50k ammo ususally). -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

"A lot"
depends what ship you're using. Antimatter charges are a good bet for you to start off, especially as the majority of the characters are hybrid users (gallente/caldari) the smalls go like wildfire for blaster users.

I am not sure if this response is aimed at what you are asking, because there isn't anything called "Packs of ammo"
When trading or building ammo, you need to look at your fixed costs.
Broker fees have a minimum of 100 ISK when placing a market order. So there is no point in putting up orders to sell less than 10K - 50K ISK of ammo.
I don't know the numbers right off, but there is a similar flat fee in addition to the hourly fee to run a factory job to build ammo.
Make sure that you don't spend too much on those fees.
If you saw sell orders for a few units of ammo, they were problably left overs from a much larger order. That or someone did not stop to think about the idiocy of paying 100 ISK in broker fees on an order that will earn you only 500 ISK.

The way I fit out my ships is I design a fit, get the gear together, and fully prepare the ship for everything it will face. It is extremely rare that my ships last for a long time, so I only fit about 5x a full load of ammo for each gun/launcher onboard.
For example, I may have a Wolf with 4 200mm ACs, and a rocket launcher. That means I pack 4*5*200 of whatever turret ammo I use, and 4*1*40 rockets of the type I need - the other approach you can do that takes a bit more math is enough ammo for X minutes of continuous firing.

Maybe public, but private it was meant for.

I will keep that in mind, thanks.

Edited by: L0st S0ul on 14/11/2007 12:38:37 I use missiles, doing lvl 4 missions I can use anything from 500 - 1000 missiles per mission. If the mission has multiple waves or rooms I can use up to 4000. -----------------------------------------------
