Is there a recommended way to sell them or do I just hock them on the ingame market

...is trading in injectors as worthwhile as it looks or is it a false economy

Redeem the pack on your Jita alt for each account. Character trade the MCTC, Extractors, and PLEX in Jita IV - IV (or preferred market citadel) to one of your Jita alts with market skills. Sell the stuff to buy orders or put it up on sell orders and prepare to 0.01 until it sells.

Trading in injectors buy buying low on buy orders and flipping to sell orders is a way to make money, but (a) a lot of the profit is lost in fees; and (b) your orders will constantly be topped by people with market bots and you'll probably make less isk for the amount of effort you're putting in than most other ways to make isk.

I don't have an alt in Jita and I'm not sure which I redeemed the PLEX to if at all yet. I have my main sitting in 1DQ with most of my assets, it says I have 500 PLEX in my plex vault, and MCTCs in my redeemable items.

I have two old alts (that aren't in goonfleet yet) sitting in highsec though, one has a lot of SP that's almost all put into gunnery and engineering, but has 800k free SP, and another that's basically a total newbie from when I'd very first started the game. What should I do? Sorry if I'm being oblivious, it's all just a lot to take in

Thanks, I figured there must have been some catch to it. I'll just stick to trying to find my niche in what sells in 1DQ for now

Oh, if you wanted to use your Skill Extractors on that alt and sell his valuable brain goo instead of selling the extractors straight that would be a good idea too. And net you a lot of extra isk!

Do not spend your money on space drugs! I will teach you how to be rich, you can get started with a little bit of money but the more you have the better. It grows exponentially, the more you have the better the opportunities you can take advantage of. Here is how you can get started:


This Dark Blood Thermal Hardener is selling for 7m, but you can buy one for 3.5m. Each time you get a hit on this you will make about 3m profit (after taxes). Thats not much, but it is basically free money and amounts to about 6 clicks worth of effort and a bit of patience. But how likely are you to actually get someone to sell you this? That is why you must look at the "Price History" screen. Notice that pretty much every day 10+ of this module are sold, and at least once a day someone dumps it for the Buy price. This means people have been making money trading this thing for the last 30 days, and you will too!


Why do I need lots of isk? That Dark Blood Thermal Hardener module is only worth a few million! Well, you won't make much money trading only one module! Like the Small Plasma Smartbomb II example above, there are many more solid things for someone with a small bank account to invest in. People are selling these for 150k, thats basically free! You are going to want to max out your orders, hit as many profitable modules as you can. The more buy orders you have on the market at once (in different commodities) the more money you make!


The market for stuff scales into the billions! There are many ships and modules that cost this much or more. You will not be able to invest in 20+ things that all cost 1b each if you only have a few billion in the bank :capitalism: There are traps though, this ship for example. Looks quite juicy, buys for 570m sell for 1.75b, that's a healthy profit! But look at the price history, no one has sold a Kronos at that price ever. You would be wasting your time.


But there is easy money to be had. Take a look at these ice harvesting "excavator" drones. Buy for 930m, and sell for 1.28b. That is a healthy profit, especially when you concider that someone selling "excavator" drones is often selling a play set of 5. If you have an extra 5b sitting around to leave on the market you can net a 1b isk profit for 6-10 clicks worth of effort, but you need the money to do it!


This has been a public service announcement. Please do not buy skill injectors or PLEX!

it is all kind of stupid and not relevant looking back on it, esp considering i haven't been in nc. for almost 4 years.

the aa story or the eve story

aa is gicer and boat wanted Fishing Pacts with pubs and kim and friends wanted to pvp so they did that in the pvp/pve game and it infuriated gicer

eve is sion made some weird rear end claims about kim leaking things (from another game) but wouldn't give up nc chat logs or some poo poo therefore he was a traitor

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
So I just had an idea - feel free to poo poo all over it: Black Ops Capitals

No, not supercaps that cloak for reasons other than safespotting, but rather slick-fit slightly-debuffed carriers, dreadnoughts, and FAX that can use a capital-sized black-ops cloak. Give the dreads reduced damage, but augment it with a phenomena-style 'debuff' for enemy ships on grid (which should scale in intensity with the size of the fleet), and give the carriers less fighters to play with.

But what I'd really like is the idea that these ships should be able to jump without a cyno beacon on the other side. It shouldn't be as precise as using a cyno, but the FC of the fleet these things are in should be able to aim at a constellation in the region they're targeting, and depending on the amount of ships in the fleet, the jump should be more accurate to a given system, to simulate being able to network the ships' navigational computers together for a more accurate blind jump. If you wanted to make it more 'black ops-ey,' make it so a scout needs to place a navigational beacon in the target system that will self-destruct after a given period, but will also show up on scan if you're dumb enough to drop one too close to a heavily-trafficked spot.

Obviously the targets for these things would be anomaly runners and poorly-defended moon mining POSes.

Stratios/Astero is a go-to for exploration, especially in wormhole space, but that isn't to say you can't make 100mil or more with a little luck in a lowsec site. With decent probing skills and a decent ship for analyzing relics, you're in good shape usually.

goons made some art and sigs on the website and called themselves goonrathi on the forums (which is what star citizen still is, forums and a store front), but then there was drama and space court because kim got removed from it due to offending carebears in another video game, it was very funny.
