Well, we will all have seen the news CCP not allowing Extra Large Structures being anchored in High Sec followed by the Tranquillity Trade Consortium closing down and their main station being taken down. Strange Net covered in a video.
The next domino to fall?
Not too much of a leap to be concerned that iChooseYou stations could also be attacked. Indeed, it seems every corporation and their dog war dec'd iChooseYou.
For me, i had two Trading Locations in iChooseYou stations - one in Sobesaki and one in Alentene.
To be fair, nothing has happened and things may be happening in the background yet but i decided to move anyway.
The cost of it all
Between the two locations i had 226bn ISK of Sell Orders up.
A bit too much to courier so i put them into Asset Safety before the stations were attacked.
So, i had to delist every order (it seems Sell Orders only go into Asset Safety if the station is under attack, not before), move them to Asset Safety, wait 5 days, move that to a new Station and then relist them all.
Cost of Asset Safety was 0.5%.
Cost of relisting was 1.5%.
Hence, the numbers: the cost of Asset Safety and relisting was 4.2bn isk.
The difference between the sum of the Sell Orders at the iChooseYou and the new locations was 1.4bn.
Hence, the total cost of all this was 5.6bn isk and 5-6 days lost sales.
Thoughts going forwards
I chose those locations because they had the best trade volumes in their areas - not for the lower taxes.
Whilst the cost was not onerous (around 15-20% of my normal monthly profits) it was tedious.
Hence, from here on in i plan to stick to NPC stations.
Why did you not just leave the old items there but put up new items in an NPC, then if it went assest safety you would just relist then rather than manually pulling down the order?
ReplyDeleteyes - that would have been an option. But i like to have everything in one place.
