Thread: How rich are you
I started with me and 1 friend with his lots...You can make the money without a large PA ..If your having trouble then dont take this the wrong way but maybe your not very business oriented ... not everyone makes it in business and that just the breaks..
Im not into the whole mine is bigger than yours but lets just say i can pay the upkeep on my PA hall for a few years without worry..
Imaintain about120,000.
Before going architect, I maintained about 40,000.
Of course, that was also before survey missions. Thank the devs for survey missions.
Almost to a half mil in CR, inventory shows about 300K units of various resources, 3 heavy min, 1 heavy gas, lots of med and small harvesters. (would of been a couple fusion gen. but crit failed all 3 I tried to make
I haven't been to worried about getting rich quick. Just to make a few more credits a day then when I started the day....that is after I pay the maint. on all my harvesters.
Let me pass on just a little advise to those newer people trying to make their way. I've seen alot of talk about people not being able to afford selling resources to pay for the cost of harvesters and thus make money. So lets do some basic math. 8 medium harvesters and 2 solars cost 100800 a week to run. The current market price for resources is 3:1 meaning you need to sell 33600 resources a week if you want to pay maintanance on those harvesters. 8 medium harvesters on a 100% spot will produce 46080 resources a day. That means that if you have your harvesters on a 73% spot or higher you can pay for a weeks maintanance in the first day. That means that the next six days everything you get out of those harvesters after that first day is pure profit that you can use either for your archetecture pursuits or to make cash to buy resources you cannot mine directly. Lets add in the problem of resource shifting then. At that same 73% spot you could sell the second days ore on the market and get enough cash to shift all 10 of your resourcers 3.3 times in that week and then the next 5 days are all pure profit. People say, well ore, our primary resource, rarely gets above the 50% mark. Well thats fine. Just sit a single resourcer on a high value metal spot purely for the purpose of sale on the bazzar. I cant speak for all servers, but I can move 25000 units of metal on the bazzar in under8 hours without fail. You have a full week to sell which should be fine in even the most depressed market (assuming your selling from a bazzaron a major planet, not Yavin IV or something). Another tip, when traveling, pick up two survey missions before each hop, it will pay for the trip and usually leave leftovers, I find Gas to be the easiest to fill personally, but to each his own. Anyways I hope this helps.

never had any money....when i have some its spent on resources....maybe once im master ill be able to keep the money and actually start saving some
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
Howcan you people not be selling anything? I will never understand... personally as soon as something goes on my vendor they're gone in an hour! I have got my guild buddy M.A now selling from my shop too and would be interested in getting another master architect in on the deal....
20 heavy's on the vendor in the afternoon, by evening they had all gone and i'm backed up on orders for tommoz too. Same every day.
Even furniture... the master grade furniture especially.
BUT I still know that I could make more money selling the resources.... it's just not as fun though :/
