EVE Exploration Hunt

I always wanted to try new exploration mechanics. Seemed quite interesting and exciting to me. The problem I encountered was lack of skills to hack something. Nevertheless I have decided to get into Anathema and go scan some sites. The only difference was that I was not going to do them, but to...camp them.


My small adventure as an explorer went from Vlillirier to Ren,Aubenal,Moc and so on...Scanned around 20 systems with lots of data and relic sites. Bookmarked them all and then began checking for core probes and cov-ops ships on scan.

As I was checking surrounding systems, someone from corporation informed me there was core probes in Vlillirier. So I went back as fast as possible. I had all sites scanned down already there, so the only question was will I make it on time or no. I jumped to Vlil,warped to data site and there he was. Hacking a Info Shard in his Cheetah. Slowly I began approaching my prey. It was a matter of seconds before i de-cloaked and locked him down. Gotcha! There was nowhere to run. For him, exploration was OVER.


After the kill I wandered around low sec for few hours. Finally,again, from my corpmate Seraph I heard there were probes in Oicx system. I was 6 jumps out,but still burned there. Might make it on time if I'm fast enough,or if he's slow enough,- thought. Took me some time,but I was confident, because I had all sites probed down in Oicx as well as Vlillirier. Jumped in,warped to data site....And again. He was hacking. Not suspecting anything,just enjoying his virus game.
Sadly, he did not enjoy it for LONG. Now before i killed him, I did something pirate-like. I ransomed him. Not much, 15million. And he actually transferred that to me. The reason why he died was because I though he had sister probe launcher in there,that's why he paid the ransom. Sadly I was wrong.

Finally I was to thank my Battle Anathema,which is very fun to fly and like someone said, each time I kill something with it, angel gets his wings...

One man market story - Vlillirier VII

It has been exactly 3 weeks when I have decided to seed Vlillirier VII market. 3 weeks of tracking sell orders, updating, analyzing market demands,making adjustments. I couldn't say it was very difficult to manage it. On the other hand, it was quite fun and enjoyable to see who bough what from me, how much I've sold per day and try to connect it with Gallente Federation losses that day. Interesting job for an experienced trader like me. At the moment I think taking over Vlillirier market was one of the best ideas I've ever had in EVE.  So, before 2013-05-17 Vlillirier had 468 sell orders and total of 16,56 billions seeded.
After 2013-05-17 I began my mission to take control of Vlillirier market.
Having average sell amount per day of 338 millions of ISK inside Vlillirier VII, up to this day I've sold 8.76 billions of ISK in 3 weeks.
By default, I have made around 1,7 billion profit
Current # of sell orders in total: 598
My # of sell orders : 300
% of market controlled by sell orders: ~55%

Current total worth of sell orders : 34,05 billions
My total worth of sell orders:  22 billions
% market controlled through worth of sell orders : 65%


I give you graphs Vlillirier market expansion starting from 2013-05-16 till today.
From graph its possible to see that I have sustained market with about 600 sell orders with possibility to increase. As for total worth of sell orders, market received few injections on 05-17, 05-20, 05-30, 06-05,  so markets total value is growing approximately 5 billions per 10 days  ( after 05-17) !
