Trade: Putting the cart before the horse

Since I've got extra isk piling up, it's past time I got another investment going. Alas, trade is the only thing that comes to mind.

I'm not at all interested in hauling things between hubs or doing margin trading, so that leaves stocking systems. To that end I've written a handy program to tell me which items I'm missing in which system.

First run after deleting the database

Now all I need is one which will tell me if I'm actually making money.

~Epic crisis~ over

Tower stronted, labs are back online, and, most importantly, dickstar mods are anchored and I actually know what to do with them.

At the very least, I expect to attract a better class of nuisance.

War update

Yeah, they totally dropped the wardec. Now I just have to rep the tower and anchor dickstar mods.

Lesson learned -- when wardec happens, labs go offline, other things go online.

On a side note, in case anybody was wondering what the pos gunning interface looks like:

Oh snap

Remember, kids: Listen to your readers.

I hadn't quite gotten around to putting scary modules on my tower to ward off nuisance wardecs, and seem to have pulled one.

In theory just onlining guns should make it too much of a pain to bother killing, but I've contracted some mercs to make it a sure thing.

An post about the blueprint price increase

Prices have settled down, and it looks like almost all capital hull and component blueprints have increased in price by 11.15%. The exception to this is the rorqual, which barely changed at all. Because the rorqual price increase was small, my estimate that my net worth had increased by 21 billion isk was slightly high; the actual figure is 18.49.

Of course, at the same time that happened I have also had 7 naglfars worth of isk disappear from my balance sheet when I reprocessed them for components. That isk will reappear in a month or so when the runs built from those components finish selling, so the large gain on my financial report will show up probably next month.

Capital blueprint price increase?

The price of capital ship and capital ship component blueprints from NPC sellers has risen over the last few weeks, and I can't find anything in patch notes. Does anybody know why this is happening?

I'm not complaining or anything - if NPC prices stay where they are today the increase of 10.9% will have increased my net worth by 20 billion isk - but I am very interested as to why this is happening, where prices will stabilize, and what's going to happen next.

I said I wouldn't do it, but I did

Just bought 7 naglfar at 150-170m (8%) under mineral price for the purpose of reprocessing into components. This will save me ~1.2b over my next few production runs. I'm still not completely sure this little project is worth my time, but my next financial report is going to need that extra bit of profit.
