Few questions here,
1. Have you ever run an IPO before?
2. Have you ever run a store or service before in any capacity?
3. Since many of the BPO's your researching already are sold researched to 30/30 or 3/1 for NPC cost quite frequently what makes you think you'll be able to find clients that will pay these markups?
4. Do you have any forum presence at all anywhere, at any time with any other corp. This might not be important but I've seen many people that at least have some 'renown' before trying this.
5. Do you have any security at all for this project with any of the banks?
6. Since your looking for a massive outlay of isk (21 billion) do you have anyone that will vouch for you besides your 'real life friend that you persuaded to come back to eve'
7. Not sure if I saw it listed anywhere but you list your income as partly from moons and partly from POS management. Does this mean your counting the lab production twice? Or are you also producing tech 2 on the side as well?
8. You mention your 'PvP contacts' incase you get wardecced. Will you state who they are and will they confirm you know them, even if this is in private to one of the Bank controllers.
9. I see your going to be selling BPO's and BPC's mainly, so I'm not sure where your profit numbers are coming from. Do you have other BPO's your going to be copying and selling the prints from or are you counting on the prints to research THEN copying them while you wait to sell?
10. I *think* I see you mention "non capital ships and components will be our primary ojbective while their researching". However it isn't clear can you clarify?
I don't mean to rip your IPO down, but these are questions anyone would ask from the same perspective. I won't say anything until I see your answers but there's alot of info lacking that I hope you can bring to light.
Yes, the 12% rate of return is nice. But it borders right on the 'yeah, it's so high lets get some people to invest quick and get away' wagon. This is NOT a condemnation or recommendation for this IPO. I'd just like these questions answered and non of the 'vets' on this forum have mentioned these questions yet.
