Janus Cohen Fundamental Armorments and Munitions	Posted - 2008.05.03 21:26:00 - [1] Industrialist!!!!!!? Why are you in High sec? It makes no sense to be there. Why? the margins are low the risk is becoming the same as low sec. with all the wardec corps, and it takes more time to get the materials you want from the high sec ores. If you can take the NPCs you should be in low sec. why? because there are no pirates there. Maybe a roaming gang will come through, but they wont wait for their PVP like the high sec wardec corps will. Why because another roaming gang will gank them for just sitting there, or maybe they fear you have back up to flush them out. Still not convinced? Here are a few tips to help make things easier on you. 1. The most threatining thing in low sec is a gatecamp. Use a scout or a newb ship to check the system before you jump to it. better yet do remote scouting by using your map to find out how many people are in space. if it is less than 2 which most lowsec systems are, then you have a potential mining spot. 2. You dont have to take a mining barge. It would be nice if you could take one, but it is not needed. A few cheap crusiers could get the job done with minimal risk, and allow you to fast fit if you feel like defending you operation. 3 Use secure cargo containers. Why? because they are really cheap for the amount of good they provide, and can not be manipulated by pirates like Jettison cans can. If you have a large enough op going on anyways it will keep the bored hauler busy. 4. Dont go it alone. Why not bring a like minded industrialist with you. If he has a corp with one or two combat members and you have a corp with one or two combat members, then you now have two to four combat members. 5. Dock. Docking is not a bad thing. you do it in Empire when the corp is at war and the enemy is outside, you can do the same in low sec. 6. Dont be afraid. Dont be afraid of pirates. Most of them are all talk, and like to catch industrialist off gaurd. If you have a few player who can fly combat ships the solo pirate will run away. why? because unlike you he can not make isk easily, and if he looses his ship he now has to resort to using his alt/main to work for isk to buy another one, which should go directly to yuor wallet, bcause you build ships ammo and stuff. 7 Pay your workers. It is ok to pay people for their labor. It doesn't have to be the going rate for an average merc, but that aint a bad idea either. If there is a market for it, competition will come to bring down prices, and you, the industrialist, will come out on top. 8. Learn to use your scanner. More for your security crew, but it is what pirates use, and that is why they can find you in belts all the time. If you are at a loss please search it on youtube plenty o' videos there to help you. 9. Spread it out. You dont have to be in just one belt be in two belts and set up a decoy belt. that way tyou can haul your ores back to "safety while under attack". Also you dont always have to be at the same system spread the op over multiple systems. You have a group you have a mind. use both.
Venkul Mul Gallente	Posted - 2008.05.03 22:08:00 - [2] So your suggestion are: make less isk, get less minerals, do it the worst way (mining in cruiser with tiny cargo space), pay other people to get bored or destroyed depending if nothing happen or if they are jumped by some serious pirate group, all that for what advantages? Giving you better targets? Giving your enemies some other thing to do so you are not bothered?
Halada Caldari Lone Star Joint Venture	Posted - 2008.05.03 22:43:00 - [3] One of the worst thread every started in the Industry forum. Seriously, are you for real?
MentaFox StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2008.05.04 00:38:00 - [4] wow. veldspar is getting more and more profitable as we speak, so your post is just alltogether, well, wrong.
Janus Cohen Fundamental Armorments and Munitions	Posted - 2008.05.04 03:22:00 - [5] Originally by: MentaFox wow. veldspar is getting more and more profitable as we speak, so your post is just alltogether, well, wrong. Well I understand your point of view if you only like selling ores and minerals, but I am talking about industrial corps who make and sell stuff. The better margins are in low sec and CCP has provided many tools for actual organized manufacturing corps to make killer profits. The margins in high sec are low and the low sec markets are undeveloped. I see how you might think this only benefits pirates, but it could benefit those who like PVP in general and those who like to make a profit period.

Giving you better targets? Giving your enemies some other thing to do so you are not bothered? more money NO? How? you misunderstood. I am talking about making isk here not doing anything like what you said. if all you do is mine veldspar for trit I can assure you that the price will be falling really soon. Why? because everyone is making it therefore reducing the value of it. And tbh if you think making 3-3.60 isk off trit is better than selling scourge heavies at over 100 isk a pop you must have spent too much time in that barge.
Isobe Mitsu	Posted - 2008.05.04 03:31:00 - [7] I think you have a point, you could mine in a cruiser just to test it out so if you lose ships while learning about low sec it's not expensive barges or exhumers. Low sec is good for an industrial corp, stuff is worth more so if you're in low sec mining and manufacturing you could be making a lot more and with combat support the pirates would probably think twice about attacking. If you use secure containers you can mine into them then leave them if someone suspicious comes and you can collect them later so you could do mining in low sec even solo. He's right about don't fear the pirates too, theyre targets just as much as you are so they don't want to hang around too long. I think he just wants to open people up to the idea low sec isn't as bad and dangerous as most people think, it can be just as dangerous and bad as people think too but with the right kind of thinking and preperations you can limit the risks. I kind of agree with the other posts though high sec mining is much easier and rewarding too. Potential disturbances from hostiles in low sec could seriously damage any benifit of low sec mining. If you're docked in a station because hostiles are looking for a kill in the system then you're not making any isk mining.
So SuiMe Entropy Systems Mining Co. Black Scope Project	Posted - 2008.05.04 03:56:00 - [8] Wow, two gankbears in the industry forum. They'll never live it down when the rest of the pirates find out. Just as a side note, why don't the 2 of you actually try mining, etc for a bit in lowsec, you might actually learn why us carebears don't go to lowsec

A few cheap crusiers could get the job done with minimal risk, and allow you to fast fit if you feel like defending you operation. Lets summarize: Much lower m¦ of ore/minute. So I can go get ore valued at approximately the same ISK/m¦ at a much, much lower rate. This sounds like an excellent idea. Originally by: Janus Cohen 3 Use secure cargo containers. Why? because they are really cheap for the amount of good they provide, and can not be manipulated by pirates like Jettison cans can. If you have a large enough op going on anyways it will keep the bored hauler busy. Have you ever actually mined? How long do you think it takes to fill up a GSC? Also--If I'm in low or null sec and having issues with pirates do you REALLY think I'm worried about my ore? Please go for the ore.. Originally by: Janus Cohen 4. Dont go it alone. Why not bring a like minded industrialist with you. If he has a corp with one or two combat members and you have a corp with one or two combat members, then you now have two to four combat members. Summary: More risk. Originally by: Janus Cohen 5. Dock. Docking is not a bad thing. you do it in Empire when the corp is at war and the enemy is outside, you can do the same in low sec. Wow.. You mean I can have the fun of operating with a wardec every day? Awesome. Originally by: Janus Cohen 6. Dont be afraid. Dont be afraid of pirates.

If there is a market for it, competition will come to bring down prices, and you, the industrialist, will come out on top. Yes..

Lowsec has much higher risk. 3. Lowsec has much worse m¦/Hour mining rates.(security, interruptions) Higher Risk, less Rewards. Who in their right mind would mine in lowsec?
Isobe Mitsu	Posted - 2008.05.04 04:09:00 - [10] Originally by: Athama MUCH Higher Risk, less Rewards. Who in their right mind would mine in lowsec? Fix'd
Boz Well	Posted - 2008.05.04 04:23:00 - [11] IMO they should add more reasons to go to low sec in general, and not just for miners. ATM there are very few reasons not to sit in high sec afk mining veldspar all day. I wish lowsec was more than a deserted wasteland. But it's that way at the moment for a reason (as pointed out, lots of risk, little or no reward), and until CCP better balances the risk/reward, it'll stay a wasteland. Which I think is a shame, but oh well.

Toria Nynys Minmatar	Posted - 2008.05.04 05:58:00 - [13] I really DO wish something on the order of static 10/10 plexes got added to lowsec. I'd love to see the whining when the prats find it doesn't cause solitary faction fitted CNRs to spawn for them, but instead a 2000+ man alliance moves in, with gatecamps containing more HICs and Huginns on every gate than most pirate corps have members. You think 40 man cruiser blobs are bad? Try a 5 minute lag from ships decloaking. The gankbear tears would be sweet indeed. Mining in lowsec is pure idiocy. The predator/prey relationship is skewed so heavily towards predators that in a natural environment there would be a mass extinction event. In eve, the predators can continue to feed themselves by selling GTC. =)
Xaldor hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2008.05.04 10:22:00 - [14] Unfortunately, it is not remotely viable due to the risk element. There is just nothing in low-sec belts which could come remotely come close to justify the additional risk given how flimsy and defenseless mining ships are. Ultimately, pirates are largely responsible for low-sec being largely devoid of any activity. If pirates acted more like pirates and less like vandals who destroy everything in sight then there would be significantly more activity in low-sec systems, especially the ones where there is a decent chunk of them between empire and deep space.
Pwett Minmatar QUANT Corp. QUANT Hegemony	Posted - 2008.05.04 15:58:00 - [15] Low-sec, as it stands after the introduction of the drone regions, is a whole bunch of useless for miners and industrialists. Until low-sec has somethat that can ONLY be found in low-sec it will remain a barren wasteland.
agrajag119 Sev3rance	Posted - 2008.05.04 16:43:00 - [16] As Pwett alluded, until there are resources only available in low-sec it will be a graveyard. If your corp has the coordination and resources to succeed in low-sec it has enough to survive out in 0.0. Low-sec profits pale in comparison, even for people just ratting for their iskies. Truly the playerbase has evolved enough that a well managed corp just starting up is far better off seeking 0.0 connections over trying to make their way in low-sec. Simply put, there is no incentive for a group looking for anything other than random small scale pvp to move into low-sec.
Janus Cohen Fundamental Armorments and Munitions	Posted - 2008.05.04 16:52:00 - [17] Edited by: Janus Cohen on 04/05/2008 16:53:57 Hey! I live and mine in low sec. The reason the skew is so heavy to the predators, is because the prey doesn't work together. Me and my corp mine in low sec, and for the amount of ore you miss for filling a can, you make back by selling at a higher rate. I understand some low sec areas are riskier than others, but where I do my industrial operations there is no activity of any kind. Save for the belt rats it is practically 1.0 sec. I agree that there could be a little more reward for the risk in low sec.
Guvante GALAXIAN	Posted - 2008.05.05 09:35:00 - [18] Originally by: Janus Cohen Edited by: Janus Cohen on 04/05/2008 16:53:57 Hey! I live and mine in low sec.

I agree that there could be a little more reward for the risk in low sec. Here is why I will not be mining in low sec anytime soon: Veldspar 96 ISK/m3 Kernit 98 ISK/m3 Spoudumain 98 ISK/m3 Gneiss 218 ISK/m3 Gneiss might begin to be worthwhile, if it wasn't much more than 2x as risky to do low sec mining. And even then, the additional effort required to sell offsets that much anyway. As a note about "higher profits", you will make more money in low sec per item, but you will also move much less merchandise in the same amount of time
Slave Runner	Posted - 2008.05.05 11:54:00 - [19] Main problem of your theory: noone buys in lowsec. As simple as that. You can put the lowsec stuff on market cheaper than highsec, and you'll still sit on them 3 months later while the known alts of your local lowsec inhabitants happily buy from your highsec orders. The hauler alt takes the loot to highsec and brings back supplies.
Boz Well	Posted - 2008.05.05 12:15:00 - [20] Isobe, it's not a place packed with ruthless pirates and psychopaths. It's mostly a deserted wasteland atm. Granted, there are some areas where you'll find some people and gate camps are more common, but the majority of low sec is desolate. You'd see more of the pirates you talk about if there were targets there, but since you'd have to be close to a psychopath to bother mining there now (solo at least), low sec mostly stays deserted. Unless you go to one of the few populated areas of low sec, you're much better off doing your pirating and what not through 0.0 space. It's supposed to be a barren, unused area of the game? Seems like a silly argument to me. But anyways, I agree completely with the people suggesting they add ore or something to low sec that is unique. That's the only hope of populating it that I see, and while you still won't see solo miners afk'ing in low sec (not for long at least ), the population will rise and you will be more likely to see more corporate mining ops there, etc.
Picabo	Posted - 2008.05.05 15:07:00 - [21] So...you are running out of targets and want more people in low sec to gank? Or You fail at high sec market competition and want people to leave. you fail
Eth1	Posted - 2008.05.08 14:30:00 - [22] If you want more corps in low sec, then show at ccp how to make the life in 0.0 easier. The current system, takes toooo much effort and game time which probably ppl in empire dont have. this is sig :P
Krulgatha	Posted - 2008.05.08 15:43:00 - [23] Edited by: Krulgatha on 08/05/2008 15:43:29 Sorry most of you dont have a ******* clue what you are on about. Q&A lets go Q) Does stuff sell in low sec? A) Yes it does. Q) Do I build stuff from what i mine and sell it in low sec? A) Yup. Q) Does it sell for more isk than high sec? A) Yes it does. Q) How many mining ships have I lost in the 6 months i've lived low sec? A) 0 Q) Can you mine undisturbed for hours on end in low sec? Solo? A) Yes you can. Yup. Q) Is low sec overated for danger? A) Most definatley. Q) How do I achieve such things? A) Good, planned fittings for percieved eventualities. Cloaking devices, t2 transports and a fear of bugger all. Q) Aren't i scared of pirates? A) No. In fact I shoot anything I can in low sec if i'm not busy and I think I can take 'em. I will shoot anyone taking my resources. Stay out of low sec if your scared and crunch all the m3/isk numbers you like..... I can sell a rifter for 700k, ty for staying out of my markets and yes this an alt. Why? lol why do you think
Shidhe Minmatar The Babylon5 Consortuim	Posted - 2008.05.08 16:12:00 - [24] We are in low sec ATM - it is good for our business. We get moon material, POS for industry and ability to make capitals. There is minimal disruption from pirates - we escort (with ECM) what we don't want to lose, and get largely left alone. Don't set up in pirate central - choose a nice backwater, and get to know (or at least tolerate) your local pirates. Alternatively form an unofficial defensive agreement with other industrialists, and keep combat ships handy. I would recommend low sec to anyone(or 0.0 if you can stand the politics involved ), with one reservation: The way that the T2 market and moon materials are going ATM, low sec and 0.0 may lose a significant amount of profitability. I already hear of people moving out of POS operation. We hope to stay and wait for better days.
Thoram Minmatar Twin Sun Syndicate	Posted - 2008.05.08 17:06:00 - [25] Why are you so eager to get corps out into lowsec or nullsec? Why can't those that wish to remain in highsec do so? Isn't it up to them to make that choice? ----------------------------------------------- Recruiting manager.

Gridwalker Amarr	Posted - 2008.05.08 17:14:00 - [26] The OP is clearly not a miner, and is offering poor information. There is nothing in lowsec worth mining. Lowsec does offer things that you can't do in high sec which can be very lucrative, such as moon mining and drug manufacturing. Why aren't the high sec folks flocking there? The answer is easy: people stay in empire when they don't have (or don't believe they have) the ability, for whatever reason, to handle the logistics of surviving in low sec. No ore, exploration site, mission, ratting or other isk making opportunity is going to drag people from high sec into low sec who aren't already there. -Grid

Gno Chalynn	Posted - 2008.05.08 18:26:00 - [29] Well for my 2 cents, I have mined in low sec exactly twice. the first time I thought I was cool. I mined a bit and felt ok. Second time I did it I lost my raven. So for the record, I made maybe 10,000 isk on what I mined, and lost a 100 mil ship. I have never mined in low sec since. If players want high profits mining, go 0.0. My corp joined a 0.0 alliance and that is the real money. sitting in a covetor or a hulk mining ABCS can make 10's of millions/hour. Yes an hour. even paying the security fleet a mil an hour per ship, and the haulers also. The profits are staggering. But low sec is no mans land.
