Rocky is currently in transition. That means he really isn’t sure where he is going, but he is having a blast getting there. For the first time in his career he is sitting back and watching one of his alts take the lead. Rocky’s understanding of New Eden is going beyond asteroid belts and refining.
Rocky hit a flat spot a week or two ago. He was making good money, but really didn’t have any use for it. He bought a Covetor and fully equipped it. Then he realized he had a long while to go before he could use it. He had far more skill training to accomplish than he realized.
The investment in the Covetor and equipment locked up almost 35mil Isk. That seemed OK at the time, because Rocky thought that he had little else important to buy. Then he found Jump Clones and Exploration Probes, and saw there were other fun places to spend his hard earned Isk.
Rocky makes good money Mining and Salvaging. The Isk continued to grow in his accounts. Rocky then learned he about hauling his own freight. He found he could invest 1mil Isk in a load and make a good profit on the haul. His loads now cost closer to 20mil Isk, but the return is enormous for the short investment time.
Rocky watches the Market and now knows a good price when he sees it. He looks where he can sell it and then will sometimes deliver it immediately. By purchasing his loads at good prices he can sell them anytime for a good profit. Rocky uses these loads for his back hauls frequently.
It is very clear now to Rocky that a Lone Miner who uses his Transport to make income, along with his mining activities, will move ahead financially much more quickly than a player doing solo mining.
There are many new things to explore in Eve. When your Lone Miner activities start to numb you out from the boredom, look around for new things to do in New Eden. You will find there are many other interesting things to do that can actually compliment your mining efforts.
You keep coming back now.
