Margarite Liberte's Engineering Career in Eve Online.

40 jumps to to get cheaper mechnical parts

2011-12-11T09:28:32Z

Margarite often finds herself travelling through many systems and jumping many gates just to get cheaper supplies for industry. Items are not always cheapest in Jita.

Margarite Liberte is purchasing four new battlecrusier blueprints on the market..

2011-11-30T04:38:03Z

These blueprints will go right into research so as to get a better result meaning these will be built with fewer minerals.

Margarite is building two Anshar jump freighters as her first Tech II capitals project

2011-11-13T04:53:39Z

A fellow corp mate donated a 2 run Anshar jump freighter blueprint with a material efficency of -2 to the corp. In exchange for this blueprint and all the armor needed for both of them, Margarite will build one for the corp mate and build one for the corp to sell. So far she has built the base Obelisk freighter for one jump frieghter and some of the T2 capital parts. She almost has enough capital microprocessors built for one ship. Of all the other parts she has less than a fifth of each built. She did just complete building all the capital jump drives needed for one ship.

Margarite has a few building plans for today and from yesterday and on going.

Margarite spent some time waiting for ship modules she made to sell so she could buy some remaining minerals to build a Drake for a Caldari pilot in her corporation named Dutchess JessicaLeto. Jessica was fiiting a Drake with Tech I level fitings and completing missions with an old friend of Margarites'. Of course, Jessica has the skills to fly a Tech II fitted Drake so Margarite is making her a new Drake which is now done. The fitting are still to be built or bought. Margarite is keen on building all the ship fitting such as heavy missile launchers and various shield modifications that are recommended for a Tech II fitted Drake instead of Jessica buying them. So this is one project Margarite is working on.

Margarite is also being asked to build 4 Noctis ships and is working on 1 of her own too. So this is 5 Noctis. These will all be outfitted with Salvage Tackle 1 medium rigs. Margarite has 2 of the 3 rigs needed for her own Noctis and Jessica will be delivering some mission salvage to Margarite that hopefully allows the 3rd rig to be built.

Margarite is still working on building a Obelisk freighter. She also picked up an Orca blueprint copy and flys a corporation owned Orca quite regularly for buying and transporting materials for industrial production.

Another plan which is really just a part of regular corporation production includes building 4 Falcons, 1 Onyx, 1 Curse and 1 Pilgrim. Other corporation ship building includes 4 Taranis and 3 Anathema. These frigates are built, what is lacking are the fittings for these before they are shipped to 0.0 for use by other corporation pilots.

Margarite also has plans to outfit her own Sin, an Eris, and finish the modifcations for her own Taranis. This Taranis is to be remembered as the ship fitting that inspired Margarite to start to build the fittings for ships, as well as, the ships. Also in terms of her own ships she wants to try to invent another Occator and has always failed trying to invent these. Later today she will try again to invent an Occator blueprint copy when she has finished another large batch of Tech II ammo blueprints. She has only so many invention jobs she can work on at one time and the ammo invention takes only 37 minutes at a try.

Another ship invention and build project is for one of her factory workers. This Minmatar pilot has 1 Mastodon built by Margarite. Margarite is working to invent some medium cargohold optimization II rigs for this ship. She has invented the Tech II rig blueprints for these and this was her first rig invention success. The materials needed to build these rigs are very expensive, so they are also waiting to be built. Margarite would also like to built this factory worker a 2nd Mastodon and also 2 Prowlers. The worker pilot also has to train more to use the proper shields for these ships and the cloaking devices for the Prowlers.

Margarite is training to fly a Black Ops ship now.

2011-06-10T11:39:01Z

It should be less than a month now before Margarite can fly a Black Ops battleship. She is building one now and hopes everything comes together for this.

Margarite is relaxing with a smoothly running ammo production operation.

2011-05-10T06:36:56Z

The production of tech II ammo continues with from 3 to 7 pilots regulary working in labs and ammo arrays. The production of tech II ammo is non stop. Margarite generally spends her time buying the minerals and moon materials need to make the ammo and hauling these to the arrays. The other pilots generally have to only start jobs although a variety of pilots do a variety of jobs. Generally everyone is paid wages for this too. Recently the advant of successful planet based extraction technologies has allowed some corp members to supply constant supplies of rocket fuel to the production cycle. The corporation through Margarite have rewarded these pilots for the steady and volumious supply.

Margarite did, in fact, succeed in inventing two Black Ops battleship blueprints out of four attempts.

2011-03-28T09:11:40Z

Margarite is only three days away from having all four race encryption and starship engineering skills trained to level V. Years ago she had volunteered as her corporation's Amarr engineer and had eventually trained both Amarr skills to V. This took months because she trained other skills too. She managed quite quickly to pick up the other race skills except for Minmatar encryption which is only three days from completion of training to level V

This prologue is only a hint that her perfect skills made the chances of succeeding at this invention of Tech II battleships that much more likely. She used two decryptors and one succeeded yielding a -2 material efficiency blueprint meaning much less materials are needed to construct the ship. The other success was from one of the two invention attempts without decryptors and this of course yielded a -4 material efficiency blueprint that will cost more in material amounts to build the ship.

She has built all the parts for the first ship now except for the microprocessors. She will not be building the microprocessors soon, as the price of one of the materials for these microprocessors, namely the nanotransistors, is much too high on the market now. In all, the nanotransistors on Tech II ships are the most expensive material and definitely affect the cost of building more than other materials. So she waits for the price to fall on nanotransistors.

Margerite is now trying to invent Black Ops battleship class Tech II ships.

2011-03-24T01:16:10Z

The chances of successfully inventing a Tech II battleship start around 20%. Margarite can get this up to the mid 20's range with skills and decryptors. She is trying to invent some Widow black op ships for corp mates and also a Sin Gallente black op ship for herself.

Margarite took some profits from the corp's successful ammo production work

2011-01-08T12:58:13Z

Margarite had been working like a dog, a flying gate jumping dog, supplying the corporation with the materials for building ammo. Her long voyages of 60 plus jumps to find cheap rocket fuel or to buy new ammo blueprints like Depleted Uranium in Minmatar space where these blueprints are cheapest have started to pay off. The other corp mates use alts or jump clones to jump back out of 0.0 to clones in high security space to join the building efforts. We have other builders simply manufacturing ten jobs at a time of tech II ammo. A few other pilots help with other tasks like invention and supply. Mostly Margarite manages this whole operation so today paid herself some wages. She procured from the corp ship stocks two Basilisk Logistics class ships for her young Caldari combat protoge. She in fact, built these ships last month almost single handedly. Ships just are not profitable to make for sale. Making ships though still does save money on buying them. I hope that makes sense. The Eve market is a strange beast.

Margarite spent the last week making Tech II ships

2010-12-22T07:14:27Z

Margarite made some logistics ships and some interdictors. Also she kept the materials and supplies stocked for ammo as usual.

Margarite is supplying her corp 0.0 fighters with ships these days.

2010-11-18T05:36:20Z

Profits from ammo making continue to roll in. It is a tricky market and barrage ammo is selling too cheap right now in Jita. Void should be a good long term alternative. Profits are being used to pay the builders wages and also to fund the making of tech II ships like interdictors and logistics.

Margarite is helping a young pilot with her training as this young pilot hopes to move out to more combat in 0.0 space and fight for the corp. The pilot she is sponsoring is named Dutchess JessicaLeto. Margarite is building her ships of all kinds and hopes to supply her with two of each Caldari ship. So far she has made her two of each Tech 1 frigate and is about half way through supplying her with two of each Tech I crusier. So far Jessica can fly only a Buzzard in terms of Tech II ships. So Tech II ships will wait for awhile.

Margarite has settled into Empire industry manager for her corporation.

2010-09-24T22:47:22Z

Margarite has been managing her corporations Empire industry operations for about 6 months now. She looks after fueling the player owned station and buying materials for making ammo and ships. She also invents the tech II ammo and ship blue prints. Her invention skills for Caldari objects are both maxed out at V and her Amarr starship skill is also maxed out at V. Her Gallente starship and encryption skills are both at IV and she will be training these to V. Her only weakness is Minmatar invention.

Margarite's life these days

2010-05-14T05:24:05Z

Margarite had a neural remap so she could better learn science. She is not into boosters so this was an alternative and more permanent. She has the ability now to make more stuff and research more stuff. She has started to make tech 2 ammo non stop. She is also researching Gallente ship component blue prints now. Tech II ships though are far from profitable these days. Margarite is not always looking to profit.

The goal a Gallente freighter only building and mining allowed.

2010-04-01T07:52:43Z

Margarite set some limits for her goal to have and fly a freighter. She started with only 1 million ISK. At first she did not mine she only bought minerals made tractor beams and sold them. She started to increase her wealth. She then decided to mine as well. She reached the first goal of buying the skill book for Gallente freighters and trained it to level II. She then just yesterday bought an Obelisk blueprint. An Obelisk is a Gallente freighter. She now will mine and build parts and also buy and sell more tractor beams. These days she lives and does her work in a factory near Jita the central trade system.

Margarite sold the Orca she built.

2010-03-03T08:08:54Z

Margarite sold the Orca she built and bought a friend a Pilot's License Extension. She had 80 million in change after this and proceeded to build more tractor beams.
