Okay, so here’s one of the alter egos that I mentioned before. Meet Davios Steiner. Just started with him yesterday and am focusing on hauling skills at the moment, with a heavy learning skills program interspersed to speed things along. Trying to get him into an Iteron V as soon as possible to aid in the moving of ore. Will also work on some mining skills after these first goals are met. Basically will be a second industrial character, but while Abaddor’s goals will aim more towards maximum harvesting and refining and piloting along the Hulk/Orca path, Davios will be training more for transport efficiency, Production, and piloting along the T2 transport/freighter path. I will naturally also get him into at least a Retriever so that he can be useful in mining. I’m hoping that their skills will be a good foil for each other and that the specialization will enable me to do more with the two of them in a shorter period of time than I would be able to do with just Abaddor.
So, here’s the audacious goal: Get these two harvesting/refining/producing/selling, in some combination thereof, to really maximize their profits. Get that ISK saved up to buy a small bundle of plex cards (at least three to start) or have a steady enough cash flow to be able to predict being able to buy one Plex per month without it draining the coffers. Will this cover Davios’ account costs? Nope! This will cover the cost of adding a third partner! This, of course, will lead to more cash flow after the first month or so of training, and then? Enough ISK to fund a fourth character?
I’m sure this is possible, as people are making enough isk to buy Plex cards…I’m just looking at it in the sense of spending money to make money and then rinse and repeat. The long term goal is to have 10 characters, but only be paying for two. If I don’t have to pay for any, that’s nice too. We’ll see what happens. I might be off my rocker, and if anybody is actually reading this please feel free to let me know in no uncertain terms that I’m nuts. I only ask that you consider the feasability of this first and support your comments with some reasoning so that I might consider the options.
But, there you have it folks. What started a few hours ago as another aimless pod blog now has a goal. So I’ll be posting regular updates as to training progress, cash flow, etc. I hope that somebody out there will be interested to see how things go. Who knows, it just might be crazy enough to work!
