Margarite completed building an Anshar and had it sold before it was even into the factory lines. The pilot who bought it made it possible to complete the job which was very expensive with the high fulleride prices. The prices of fullerides are now lower so Margarite is building a lot of Tech II ships as are other corp mates.
Margarite often finds herself travelling through many systems and jumping many gates just to get cheaper supplies for industry. Items are not always cheapest in Jita.
These blueprints will go right into research so as to get a better result meaning these will be built with fewer minerals.
The production of tech II ammo continues with from 3 to 7 pilots regulary working in labs and ammo arrays. The production of tech II ammo is non stop. Margarite generally spends her time buying the minerals and moon materials need to make the ammo and hauling these to the arrays. The other pilots generally have to only start jobs although a variety of pilots do a variety of jobs. Generally everyone is paid wages for this too. Recently the advant of successful planet based extraction technologies has allowed some corp members to supply constant supplies of rocket fuel to the production cycle. The corporation through Margarite have rewarded these pilots for the steady and volumious supply.
Margarite had been working like a dog, a flying gate jumping dog, supplying the corporation with the materials for building ammo. Her long voyages of 60 plus jumps to find cheap rocket fuel or to buy new ammo blueprints like Depleted Uranium in Minmatar space where these blueprints are cheapest have started to pay off. The other corp mates use alts or jump clones to jump back out of 0.0 to clones in high security space to join the building efforts. We have other builders simply manufacturing ten jobs at a time of tech II ammo. A few other pilots help with other tasks like invention and supply. Mostly Margarite manages this whole operation so today paid herself some wages. She procured from the corp ship stocks two Basilisk Logistics class ships for her young Caldari combat protoge. She in fact, built these ships last month almost single handedly. Ships just are not profitable to make for sale. Making ships though still does save money on buying them. I hope that makes sense. The Eve market is a strange beast.
Margarite sold the Orca she built and bought a friend a Pilot's License Extension. She had 80 million in change after this and proceeded to build more tractor beams.
The tractor beam market seems to be way down. Mind you minerals are cheaper. Also Margarite's alt flies a Hulk mining exhumer now, and can mine for her. Along with this gain, Margarite's corp has had some regular mining operations in Empire pulling in millions of isk an evening.
Margarite was trying to earn enough to buy her alt a Pilot's License Extension (PLEX). She almost made it then the alt decided to buy a Hulk mining ship which he now flies. So Marg started again earning isk for her own PLEX and now has two Ishkur's being built and these will sell for 26 million ISK each and make up the remaining 50 million ISK she will need for her license.
There was only one war target in system in Jita when Margarite logged in today. She had arrived in Jita last night with an escort. She had brought 1 million units of tech II ammo to sell. She made all this ammo. She bought some moon materials in Jita and was ready for the flight home. She predicted the war target at worse would try to target her Occator when she undocked but that she could get into warp and sustain damage and still make the first gate. In fact, the one war target did target her but he did not even get a shot off before Margarite was in warp and away. Once out of Jita no further war targets were seen.
Using the first few steps for her plan she is able to make ISK income with less mining on her own. So really cooperating is the key to keeping the business plan functioning. She has repeated step 1 a few times and just this weekend repeated step 2 and actually had 50 tractor beams for sale at the end of the weekend. Just before this she bought a Keres. She has about 25 tractor beams for sale now. She is just about to start buying minerals for her next production runs. She will try to make another step 1 and then 2 before the coming weekend. She must pay for a Viator this weekend. A more experienced pilot was saying this was not a good choice but she is stubborn and will be trying to buy the transports skill book before the weekend and the purchase of the Viator. This means she needs an extra 25 million ISK outside of the production ISK she must maintain..
