trouble-shooting? like an information broker?

 

edit: or are you talking escort? that i will not add to the poll mainly because this pole is supposed to be for Industry. i think i might make a poll similar to this for the combat fourms thou. somthing along the lines of ship types, roles and play styles

long range mining? could you explain this to me :P. oh i forgot gas collecting!

 

edit: oh could you perhaps mean like rare or unique mining? i may just add that as a seprate one

As a Vanduul Hunter, I'll focus on salvaging Vanduul tech and capturing Vanduul ships, then selling them for huge profits. B) I've also worked out deals with some T&I people to supply them with Vanduul tech so they can produce Vanduul items, and supply them to me and my fellow Vanduul Hunters. My objective is to maintain a steady supply chain of Vanduul ships and parts for Imperium, so we can all prosper. :D

 

I also intend to do some smuggling -- because perhaps trafficking in Vanduul swag will be illegal in certain places. But that's not gonna stop me! ;)

Um. All of the above?

This would also be my pick right now since we lack information about several game elements which can tilt my actions in one way or the other.

 

High-risk high-reward transport, together with combat logistics (using my Med bay for something other than a storage hold), ship repair behind the lines, etc. There's just too much to do with not enough information yet.  :tinfoil:

Sadly this is true. i had just hoped to pin down the people who knew what they really wanted to do to better help the Imperium manage its resources. its why i chose mostly broad options. truth be told i don't know whats left for industry except perhaps going into commodity or agricultural supplies/items

Your poll is certainly entertaining and well thought out, nothing wrong with it. We don't have much else to do than to play around with the ideas anyhow. :)

I also believe the roles to be dependant on which ship you plan to use to get the job done. A Freelancer ought not be that great for large scale bulk trading, taken it's available cargo capacity, but it can prove to be a proper high-risk speed runner for lower quantities valued goods.

You bring up a great point in mentioning ship types. And they will be a major part in what you can do. Speed over carrying capacity etc. The little trade offs that can make or break a trader. As the game progresses I will attempt to either make a poll regarding ships or add my own opinions on which ships provide the most effective way of making money

^^^^ Same for me :metoo: ... but I plan to do some "Aggressive Property Takeover" ... :guns: ...of Vanduul assets in addition to salvaging and smuggling...

I plan on having enough money in game to buy the ships that I don't want to spend real money on. Having said than I would like to know what the cost of the Orion so I could set up a mining operation. Then I would spend my time at the beginning of the game getting a leg up by working with a small group to mine in fairly secure space until I can buy a second platform for more high risk area and hopefully greater reward. Of course I would need to work with a few like minded Imperium friends to make sure no one blows up my rig and I can get all that ore/whatever we find to market. Once I have a business set up I will buy my Carrack and go exploring while my business brings in the money I need to deck out my ships and expand my business. Eventually working my way up to owning an 890 and cruising the universe in style :)

 

Anyone else have any similar plans for the game?

How I say beffor, Im interested in mining and Im totaly aware that Orion Mining Platform will cost huge amounts of imperial credits! 

Mining will be the main artery of in-game industry and Imperium will need all the miners focused on ore gattering and refining!

 

Unfortunatly we still dont know how is the look/shape of that Orion mining ship!
