Ship Program - Ship Equpiment BPO's

[Mangala]

I'll obviously not be requesting stuff. I use T2

can we arrange T2 to be researched by Jeremiah? although i don't think he has a high capacity and mebbe other things to do with it, obtaining T2 BPC's might be handy

Its possible we can do that ourselves on the new tower, labs have invention slots. Or look at some invention training on our kasei alts

But yeah as Garry says, t2 production is expensive to get into (hell invention can cost alot).

ok...

but then how viable will offering basic T1 modules be? esp now with all the money coming in from ratting, ppl will have money to buy advanced T1 or T2 modules soon. Do you guys think it's worth buying/researching all these basic modules if it seems the more advanced players (you two for example) don't use em anyway?
i mean, in 0.0 ppl will get 'advanced' faster than we were doing in empire.
might be handy to reevaluate this program before we spend more isk/time on it.

Personally I avoid the modules we can build since they are significantly worse than the named ones. Only reason to use non named is as a backup. For pvp perhaps they can be useful, at least I use more there on the tackling frig.

[Caradir]

Tackling frigs are the only ships i insure as they are generally T1 fitted and very disposable

Personally I dump everything from ratting into the appropriate divisions at the POS corp hanger.  It quickly builds up into a decent stash of ship fittings.
The main annoying thing is that I get a ton of Remote Reppers as npc loot.

ok, to give a boost to any pvp ambitions, I do think that we will benefit from either:
- getting BPOs of (basic meta 0) small/medium guns and E-war stuff
- shipping large batches of more expensive but higher meta (and often better fitting specs) of said modules
given the low availability of those modules we might want to do one of these things though

the 2nd option will mean buying large batches of modules (as corp or personal) and ask Red to transport em with the Rorq, that is able to carry 43 GSCs (if im correct) ~168k m3

this will provide us with decent modules on which we can base frig/cruiser corp fittings
-> cheapish pvp
-> fast refits
-> lots of fun

the 1st option (BPOs) will provide us with a slower method (research, copy, production will cost time), with a high initial investment, but we might be able to sell certain modules in 0.0 space (= income). I don't know what the meta 0 module turnover is in Fountain though. We might want to look into this.
The biggest downside of this one is that we will have to pvp with meta 0 items, which might not be that beneficial, but it will be very cheap. If additional income can be generated, ISK will be the biggest upside of this option.

I'd like some input on this and if we decide to go with one of these options, I will try to do a draw up the logistics (make shopping list, arrange buying, transport etc.)


We should get some (extra) fun back into the game.

[Warcold]

Noone seems to care. Fine, arrange your own modules, saves me the trouble.
