To put a fine point on it--we need tons of ANY QUALITY steel for chasis. And for the most part, we're grinding on them and selling thechasis forbetween 1-2cpu. So before you get the dollar signs in your eyes, I would keep it reasonably priced. Preferably under 3cpu and closer to 2. For other components we need the stats listed above. The good news is that we can make a decent profit on things like missile packs (>5 cpu), but the downside is that we don't need nearly as much of it. I only sell them to supplement my revenues somewhat.

I don't know about other SWs, but I have my own mining resources and can handle digging up the good stuff. What I'm desparately needing is more of the cheap crap to speed the grinding along.

Me too brother, me too.

But, yeah, large quantities of steel help too.

I'm actually on the same server as you Tangle. But when you do a galaxy wide search, it's uncommon to see the price of steel for under 3cpu. Now that's find & dandy if you're *already* a master SW and manufacturing components which can sell fora high profit value. However, if you're a rising & grinding SW and focus'n on chassis (which is really the only way to level in the profession), then you're not likely to sell many *regularly* at3cpu. I'm certainly not going to wait around for weeks for an item to sell at what is considered "normal" when I'm trying to make progression. i.e. it's going to be very competitively priced near the lowest percentiles. My message is simply--if you got some great resource stats, then sell itat a premium; but if you got absolute crap resources, then sell it cheap so the rest of us can use it. I'm seeing an absolute *$)@load of crap being sold on the market for 5-10cpu.

Bought 5 million units of steel today...probably going to burn through it once the server comes back up.

Making some chasiss', mostly the POBs and Oppressors and B-Wings and such. Probably have to buy more later lol.

I can get enough of my own, but it certainly is easier to buy it when you can, I think, though some say not too.

I paid 12.5 million for this steel. It is mediocre, but not bad. I have the other resources, so no biggy there. Since all of the ore, fiberplast, iron, copper, inert petrochemical and aluminum is from my own harvesting, I will almost triple my money from this in the long run.

With 5 million units of steel, I can make 71 POB ships and the like, and selling them at the minimum of just 500k each, that is 35.5 million right there.

I will be selling them for 600k (that is what the market will bear atm), for a total of 42.6 million.

And while I wait for all of those to sell out, I will be harvesting more steel, ore, copper, iron, and so on

Just saying this because some advise new SWs not to buy resources...but I have found that some times it can work in your favor, in the long run, and if you have the capital.
