I currently have 7 Omega Accounts and 1 more if i include the alpha to omega project.
I am letting the Omega Account generated by the alpha to omega project lapse back to alpha anyway.
4 Omega Accounts went to 7 in June 2025
I used to have 4 but extended this to 7 in June 2025 on the back of a (then) CCP
deal. I took 12 month Omega for 7 accounts and by mistake another 12 months on one of these accounts. I spent 143 billion.
Over the next 3 months they all come up for renewal 1 in June, 2 in July, 1 in August, 2 in September and the final one in October 2027.
The question is which is the 7 accounts justify Omega status.
What is required to remain Omega
My rule is that an account must be able to finance a three month Omega itself.
That requires 1200 Plex which at 4.7 million a shot = 5.6 billion isk = 1.9 billion per month.
My metrics are that i aim to make a 16% profit margin. I.e. for every 1 billion of sales i hope to make 160 million of profits after all costs (taxes, courier costs, etc). Therefore, i need to make 12 billion of sales on each account (3 characters) each month.
The 4 Trading accounts do well enough
Trading Account 1 (i lack imagination) has characters in Dodixie, Amarr and Jita and i justifies its existence. Easily.
Trading Account 2 has characters in Rens and Hek, and a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market. The character in Kithaled is a manufacturer / trader. Easily.
Trading Account 3 has characters in Sobaseki and Tash Murkon, and a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market. Does ok. Not shooting the lights out.
Trading Account 4 has characters in Arnon and Alentene, and a trader in a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market. This Account comes close but does justify its Omega status.
Two accounts don't justify themselves
One of my regrets over the last 12 months is not being able to find other locations to trade from that would allow an account to finance its Omega status. That is my fault, real life getting in the way.
One account is actually my first account from 2012 which i was turning into a manufacturing account but i so far have not really been able to get this to work. So instead of pressurising myself i will let it move back to Omega whilst i rethink things through. The characters in Kithaled all have decent manufacturing skills.
The other account has characters sitting all over the place, mostly surplus to requirement. They will lapse back to Omega whilst i rethink things.
They lapse in June and July.
Keeping one additional account as Omega
I have one account that has one character as a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market + 1 character that i am moving into Boystin to see if i can make this a market worth trading from + another character that was in a low sec market but it was destroyed so i had to leave.
Lets see if i can make this one work.
Omega Cost going forwards
I will wait for the next New Eden Store deal and then likely go for 12 months for each of them.
If i bought the 12 months today then i would spend 3,600 Plex x 5 accounts = 18,000 Plex, at 4.7 million = 85 billion Isk (so equates to 7 billion per month or 1 billion per accounts, such is the discount you get for a 12 month Omega).
I have 78 billion isk spare so would be doable. But lets wait for a deal.
