Ups and downs in Research

Just got news from the lab techs running the Arazu and Ishtar invention jobs! 3 Arazu and 1 Ishtar are now ready for production.

2 more Ishtars are being invented but chances seem slim.

T2-007 has also ended with 57.14% success for a total of 400 modules. Worst performing this time was 200mm AutoCannon II and 425mm Railgun II with 30% each. Surprisingly Armor Explosive Hardener II came up to 90% success. Its really like rolling a dice and waiting with dread when you hit the “Deliver” button.

Just got 60% success on the 6th batch of T2 modules for total of 420 modules. This time round, I’m running a whole new set of modules and increased the success rates with better meta items during the invention process. Last batch came up to 54% for total of 540 modules for 102.5% returns. This new batch won’t do so well with stiffer competition in the hub markets but still a respectable 89%. Selling stuff in Empire with its higher velocity is nice but 0.0 trading is definitely much more profitable if you can stand the longer wait times.

I’m still undecided to get into T2 ship production without good skills and a whole lot of gambling with the random luck in invention. T2-005 is currently on hold even though all the materials are ready. Will be nice though to be able to make HACs for Mica when he starts to lose them Gallente Starship Enginnering IV is training with Minmatar Encryption Methods IV and Minmatar Starship Engineering IV planned.
