Trying to work out new null logistics

 So today I've restarted my highsec industry properly, utilising all of my slots. I've had to take some write downs on sell orders to follow the market, particularly in Null.

Speaking of null...

I've been trying to work out where best to restart tings in Null after the move of staging to E8-432. I was hoping some industry park would have been put up by now but it seems not to be the case. An Azbel has been put up in the staging system but it only has facilities for manufacturing, so it's of limited use. 

There is an industry park with full rigged sotiyos 2 systems over, but the structures are not held by Horde but a blue corp (renters I think). I've been told in no uncertain terms not to use these structures, or any that are not owned by Horde themselves. This is fine in theory, but the nearest Horde industry park where I can do the full range of activities is 11 jumps away! The politics of this situation are not fun.


I don't particularly fancy moving 11 jumps any time I want to do anything. I'm not even sure that's doable in a single jump freighter jump. Honestly I'm a bit deflated about this altogether. I'm sorely tempted to add new characters to high sec and park Null activity until I can work out the logistics here. Maybe a move to lowsec is the way to avoid the politics of it all? 

In a separate note, the global PLEX market is now live. Instead of having PLEX located in a certain region all orders go into the "global region" so you can buy and sell from everywhere. This is a good change to the game, though it has taken away one of my income streams. 

My null station trade character had transitioned to exclusively trading in PLEX, as in Horde staging you could often flip it profitably, even with higher broker fees than perimeter (there were occasional arbitrage opportunities as well, though more infrequent). When the PLEX market went live they cancelled all existing orders so I'm sat on 9325 PLEX on that character, and at 6,300,000 I can't quite sell them profitably (picked them up for up to 6.1mil), so I'll transfer them to my character that holds my investments and mark them on my sheet accordingly for now.
