What the weekend holds.....

This week has seen me getting back into the tried and tested but not necessarily good habit of logon, check skill q's adjust PI and update POS jobs.  

As its handy to have both mains in the same system to do the maintenance of the POS and the PI I end up just doing that then relogging as an alt.... In the past this meant a lack of other activities on the mains.  
I want to do stuff with them and not just sit in the POS system like last time… I'll try and not let that happen this time round. I need to stick to the plans… like grinding SOE LP / Cosmos / Epic arc missions etc.

I spent a lot of time on my main last night trying to find where I had put the starbase charters that were bought from the LP store. (these are needed as part of the "fuel" for a POS)

I took my main around stations looking into can’s/cargo holds all over the universe. I checked contracts for the items I had traded. I think it took 2 hours before I hopped onto my main alt just to check on the off chance and there they were in a cargo ship I had traded to him. 

I rarely loose stuff and this is the first time that I've had to so such a major search for something that wasn't there!

On the up side I did come across a T1 hauler with a 3900m3 can full of ammo in the cargo, that I probably hadn't seen in 6 month's lol.

The (small) POS I've setup will use 10 units of fuel an hour = 240 a day = 1680 a week = 6720 a Month.

One unit costs between 17k and 18k at today's prices, so the upper average is near to 17800.00 isk per block (the price seems to be constantly going up). That means:

 

A day's worth of fuel is = 4,272,000.00 ( 4 Mill )

A week's worth of fuel is = 29,904,000.00 ( 29 Mill )

A month's worth of fuel is = 119,616,000.00 (120 Mill )

I'm beginning to really regret selling off the whole lot last time in the semi rage quit caused by the Pi changes.

But what has been done is done and this is all about moving forward.

With both Hi-sec & Null PI on the go it should cover the costs and build up a reserve to pay for cheaper fuel now before it is increased again. Exact numbers will come once I have both the PI and POS in full swing. 

I also need to set a limit on how much I'm willing to pay for fuel... 20k a block isn't a far off reality....

The niggling thought of making the fuel myself, now that I have access to null is in the back of my mind. But then I snap out of it by realising that it's not just PI thats needed to make fuel, Ice products/shipping, it all adds up as not being all that viable.
