I wanted to buy some blueprints within my Eve-Online MMORPG. The blueprints are the foundation of making anything in eve from other materials. Manufacture: It all starts with a blueprint.
Most blueprints are readily available for the budding builder. It is no problem to buy or mine the ores you need to make the minerals the blue print will turn into ammunition, drones for mining or containers for your station.
The harder to get blueprints are a lot more expensive and you have to travel into dangerous territory to get the blueprints. The traps and pitfalls are many, and pirates wait to snare you and destroy your ship, possibly pilfering the expensive blueprints you have in your hold.
Practice is something we all do to learn the skills we need to enable us to do the things we want to do. I am talking ‘Real Life’ here. In the game of Eve, practice can cost you your ship, your implants and the things you were carrying. So, how do you practice in Eve-Online?
After much research, I downloaded the Sisi launcher tool from Eve-Online. This tool gives you access to the same universe and is a valuable tool that permits CCP, the developers of Eve-Online, to practice the new software, to see how the modifications will work when they are launched for the main game. Don’t get me wrong, for about 99% of the Universe, it is the same as the main one we fly in daily. However, there are 99% fewer people present.
I purchased a faction ship in the game for 100 Isks, fitted it out for a few more hundred Isks and set a course for the ORE Faction Headquarters deep in zero-zero space.
My partner and I hit the trail and made our way to the ORE headquarters and found the shortest route. I will travel it a few more times yet, learn the best way points, what planets to avoid and how to approach the gates to avoid traps. I can practice this until it becomes comfortable. Though I cannot transfer those co-ordinates to my main character, I can learn the route and apply that learning in the real game.
What will I gain? I will be able to buy an original blueprint for a Coveter and get it back into Hi-Sec space where the demand for blueprint copies is very high. I think I should easily recover my costs and make a few millions profit into the bargain.
