However, I can...Aye, I've been finding this. However, I can't really tell if the prices I'm selling at are sensible. I may be making a net loss over selling the raw materials. If I'd been doing my due diligence, I'd have made a note of the value of my raw material stockpile before I started. Although as you point out, this seems to be a somewhat nebulous moving goalpost anyway, so I'll settle for making stuff out of rocks and annoying other traders by undercutting the local market prices.Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-91441664494126152322014-09-08T23:07:04.823+01:002014-09-08T23:07:04.823+01:00Bah, research is for professionals, I'm going ...Bah, research is for professionals, I'm going for inept amateur cowboy. ;)Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-83136545427530141202014-09-08T10:30:50.182+01:002014-09-08T10:30:50.182+01:00If you are selling stuff, you can trust on the pla...If you are selling stuff, you can trust on the player laziness. Building drones and ammunition for a local mission hub provides customers who are willing to pay a bit more.<br /><br />AFAIK all this prices shown in the industry window are the same as shown as the median value you see in your hangar. I can buy resources a bit cheaper than that and therefore, if I see profit in the industry window, I know I get even a bit more profit out of it.<br /><br />You probably don't get rich with T1 production but its a good start. T2 Inventions is an interesting venture and I'd like to encourage you to give it a try some day.Chaninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-67842242682598784142014-09-08T00:12:49.858+01:002014-09-08T00:12:49.858+01:00No change to the salvage table.

I would not be surprised is that does not transition into a drop for rig prices.<br /><br />As for using an exploration frigate? You would use a venture in a WH. I have not seen anybody blog about the merits of prospector. But the venture's built warp stabs and tiny drone bay give it an edge over the ability warp cloaked. The third high can be either proto cloak or probe launcher. I do not think that either frigate will handle prolonged attention of rats. But the changes to 100 units of ore - does provide better meaning to 5k ore bay that the venture sports. Gravs have been warp to for some time now. So probes are really only required in case the hole you enter closes behind you.<br /><br />Mission loot was formerly a decent source of megacite. But the recent refining change gutted the returns. So far the market value of the meta modules is higher than their mineral value.Easy Eskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882509080454825895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-15167914601330630672014-09-07T23:51:27.592+01:002014-09-07T23:51:27.592+01:00You may need to consider which rat types provide w...You may need to consider which rat types provide which salvage. For example, Angels provide a lot of the components (plates and bars) for manufacturing Armour rigs. So you would need to doing missions for the Minmatar for efficient returns. Just a bit research into the results you want will tell which Empire race to mission for.Easy Eskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882509080454825895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-36362159481748182022014-09-05T22:07:29.317+01:002014-09-05T22:07:29.317+01:00Cheers H, I recall reading something about it, but...Cheers H, I recall reading something about it, but I thought that was just the module loot drop. I was thinking of missioning for the salvage loot to support building rigs. Did they nerf salvage too?Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-9222534120059775772014-09-05T22:02:56.007+01:002014-09-05T22:02:56.007+01:00Hey Mat,

Coupled with the refining changes, it may not be worth your time. Opportunity cost and all that.<br /><br />Hope things are going well.<br /><br />HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-51170920833563300542014-09-05T21:03:59.508+01:002014-09-05T21:03:59.508+01:00Haha, thanks for the tip and I'm grateful for ...Haha, thanks for the tip and I'm grateful for your confidence in my ability to grasp this industry shenanigans, but I think it may be a while longer before I'm ready to tackle T2 anything. Besides, won't that require me to invent some T2 BPCs? That'll require even more time and expense.
