Slow weekend with contracts for me because of MLG + EvO, I had given up hope on a 9 figure weekend like past few.
EVO has its epic finished, I reach over to refresh and see a Pith -X Shield Boost Amp (best amp in game) for 285m (usually 800m). I run some instant double checks in my head then accept contract. I do the old "find in contracts" to verify current price of 800, and I see another contract from same guy, same item for 285m. Snatch that one.
+1b for those combined ez, and its over 9 figures now solidly for today \o/

Let me tell you all a story.
There was once a would-be trader, one who slowly built up a stock of Interbus Shuttles (an item included in a certain retail edition of EVE back in 2009). He meticulously built his stock, scoring them for cheap when he could, knowing that one day these shuttles would be worth a great deal of isk.
Finally, yesterday, this trader decided that the time was right to sell his stock. He had 11 Interbus Shuttles at this point, and the market price was sitting at a healthy 300m, much higher than the 50m or 100m that he had paid for most of his shuttles. His patience had finally paid off.
unfortunately, he accidentally sold all 11 shuttles for 300m, and I bought them.

Why can't I have that luck in finding mispriced contracts t.t

And great tears streamed down the face of this enterprising entrepreneur. Dashed were his hopes of building a mighty ratting warship.
Still pales in comparison to that contract you found out in lowsec that one time Mot.

Setup a reactions pos and make drugs for us?
|
A small handful of us are temporarily leaving Hatchery (right now it's just me, Lee, and Emdar with a "maybe" from 1 or 2 more). We've been pseudo-planning (theorycrafting?) a move to a wholly different part of space for some time and decided just recently (like immediately before the Hatch move was announced) to go for it. Staying in corp isn't really an option the way our logistics are going to work out (shared corp hangar space etc.).
Our goal is to try some extremely small-gang stuff in null-sec, sticking to frigate and cruiser roams. We've already had some fun times here that I'll post about pretty soon. It's quite interesting to move to a completely foreign region with absolutely no intel at all on the locals. We even saw Nak'Lin the other day (lulz).
The next couple of days we'll be making safes around the area, doing logistics, poking into null-sec. Hopefully it'll be more fun times ahead.
I look forward to seeing some epic battle reports from the Hatchery side o\.

What part of space Def?
Personnaly, cant say im too thrilled about the new move, the only thing Ive heard about it so far is ''good pve, good pve and more good pve'' which I really cant be bothered about. I know its close to null but that doesnt necessarily mean good pvp. Still busy at work for another week though so Ill see how things are when im done with that..

I just arrived today and ive already seen decent Outbreak activity in Saranen itself. Were very close to goons as well which often roam with nano gangs that i think we could take with our best fleets and obviously all the other people that live here.

We need all hands on deck for the pissing contest with the locals.

Alright well if you plan to go into curse nullsec let me know I have 300k bookmark safes off of every gates for the Doril --- Vol-Mi pipe (with a bit of surrounding systems) and I can just copy them for you

Puff, Ueber, the Dominix pilot you guys killed seems really intent on doing that mission.
|
Lol I hadn't even noticed it was the same pilot. I was going after a Domi in Odde and lost him (different guy), then entered Bos and saw this guy on scan from gate.
He was doing Vengeance, and literally fighting the last named spawn when I found him (3 pocket, long ass mission). Now I feel a little bad ;o
