Even the lousy bazaar terminals are empty except for the sod selling 500 units for 6k. Im at the point now where I need slightly over 2mil steel, 1mil ore, and 500k of everything else. I end up finding and buying steel for up to 10cpu and then people complain when i sell the chasis that cost me 270k to make for 200k?????
Please help, Anyone who has done their grinding and has some leftover stuff on Ahazi please send me an in-game e-mail and lets talk about a purchase. Heck I think I have about 100k of each of the JTL specific resources harvested up.. maybe we can work out some sort of a deal.
Other than that I am looking for any suggestions you old-school crafters may have for someone who is in need of resources.. I need 5 mil resources and have access to only about 5 mil credits (at the moment).

anyone have a suggestion. I am really looking forward to getting on with this. I could craft other components I suppose to suppliment my income with the JTL stuff but like anyone else. I want this mastered as soon as I can so that I can better serve my customers.

This may seem obvious, but you can always do what I'm doing. Drop some harvesters.That way the resources cost you less than 1 CPU or so on average.

True, You can't look at a vendor on Eclipse with out them trying to Gut you on the price of the stuff. I have been stock piling the stuff for a while now. I am a master already but now just making the Ship with what is left, What I didn't load up on was Iron but I found a good spot and am pulling some now. Its all out there. Just need to go dig it up
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

I'm sitting on a nearly 500k+ of assorted steels that I was gifted with by a friend who was quitting the game.
Beta folks bought up as much of it as they could, and once the NDA was taken off, people who didn't have a clue before started buying the rest...

ALso after the grind to Master your going to need hundreds of thousands of units immediately. You will burn thru it just as fast as you did Mastering after the fact. Just about every SW component needs Steel, even paint.

I am using the Tie Light Duty chassis to grind up through shipwright. 2k steel, 1k aluminum, 1k ore, 1k inert perto. With this in mind you'll have to craft 976 chassis at 1312 exp each. Your total resources are 1.952mil steel, 976k aluminum/ore/inert petro.
Here on Radiant steel has become something like the holy grail. You hear about it, search vendors but come up empty. Or when you do find some they're charging 5-10cpu, and thats not even for the good stuff. I ended up borrowing lots from a friend so I could drop harvesters for steel.

Got that right. Pulled out about 440k from some harvestors this morning. Ran through all but about 100k just restocking about 15-20 novice ships, and making some V1/V2 FCs, and MK2 ship parts. Glad I droped 34 heavies on a great steel spawn this morning!
