Not an amazing month this one, I hardly played for the first 2 weeks and it showed. Still, here are the numbers:
And the full breakdown:
My current net worth is 1.161Tn ISK. That's an increase of 8Bn, or 285mil/ISK/day.
So that's pretty poor, why so bad?
Well, as explained, I basically didn't play for the first 2 weeks, but additionally, when I was updating my "investments" towards the end of the month I realised I had 100 extra master-at-arms cerebral accelerators listed on my sheet than I actually had in my inventory. This wasn't a new mistake and was listed on my last sheet, so I could go back and adjust my accounting there, but that could get messy so I'm just updating it here. So operating profit wise I'm probably about 6Bn better than that.
Additionally, I've not really been doing anything new with my money. What I am starting to prep for is seeding a market to branch out. I've chosen the "PleniMart" in Kihtalid for this experiment. It ranks in the top 40 markets galaxy wide and is being operated by Thanak of the Building my Industrial empire series. Well worth a watch. What started out as one man trying to get into industry has turned into an alliance encompassing high sec and null sec, and has pulled in the likes of ARDCO into its ranks.
This planned seeding will be using different items to my normal regional trading, likely more common items to get greater turnover. I will also be competing with Croda, who has recently started seeding this station. We'll see how this goes. I suspect my item choices might be slightly different from his, but greater supply can only help further cement PleniMart as a real secondary trade hub.
This should also help me hit one of my other goals I've had for a while to hit 1Tn in sell orders, which I'm also there at right now.
i have to say, i have been finding life a bit tough on Eve for several months now. Profits have gone from 70-100 billion per month to 25-35 billion. Not sure i really understand why. There was a lot more competition in Blueprints which caused my Broker Fee costs to rise. But more generally life is tougher. I suspect i my inventory of minerals is losing value and my spreadsheets are not really picking up that effect.
ReplyDeleteYeah I've really been struggling. Falling prices across the board and a hit to demand due to no real conflicts going on means it just feels like we're fighting over a smaller pool of demand. It's a tough time but I think if we keep treading water eventually something will change (hopefully the faction warfare expansion can be a conflict driver)
