I've been thinking a lot about my setup the last few days. I've come to the conclusion that null is just not scalable for me right now. So I've decided to start winding that down.
Step 1 of this is to move my second Null industry character out to high sec and quit Horde. This character was criminally underutilised anyway so it should be a net win. He has 10 build and research slots and can already build T2 rigs, so should slot straight into my setup and be a net win easily.
I only had to sell a mining barge in E8- on this character, which I did in situ, then flew all the way to Akonoinen in his kestrel. This was entirely uneventful.
As I had a stock of materials I could immediately put him to work building Medium CCC IIs, which is nice. I also got him copying some blueprints immediately.
The other thing to consider is I've had a "return to office" order from work, which means I'm now commuting to London 3 days a week. This means much less lunch time run updating, and a lot more money spent on commuting. Not happy all round. The upshot of this for EVE is I might need to consider moving to a more 2 day run time for my slots, if possible.
Next step is to start to wind down my other null characters operations, and sell the assets I have/have them shipped out of null so I can slot him in with the rest of my characters. This will take a bit of time and I might even sell my outputs to my null sell character to get him moved quicker. That will have the advantage of having another character that can fly T2 haulers, so I can fly 2 DST loads at a time to/from Jita which will be great.
Then I need to start my low sec experiment. But I should end up with a much simpler, better utilised setup as a whole that can scale better.
All that may have to wait a little though, as tomorrow I'm in London and this weekend I have family down, so I'm probably not going to get to play the game again until middle of next week. Feeling happy about this line of decisions though.
