Training Report - March 2013

I'm splitting my old "Progress Report" into two new reports, a short regular monthly "Financial Report'" and a lengthier unscheduled "Training Report" that will be posted occasionally. This is the first of the new Training Reports.

Account 1

My first account. This is the account my main started on though he's all by himself on his own account now.

Couster Regional Trader - 269 buy orders, Tycoon IV, Accounting IV, Broker Relations IV, Margin Trading V and all remote order skills at IV. Mostly a buyer, she buys a lot of different things and sends them to the Dodixie trader for resale.

Tash Murkon Regional Trader - 269 buy orders, Tycoon IV, Accounting IV, Broker Relations IV, Margin Trading V and all remote order skills at IV. Mostly a buyer, sourcing items that wind up being sold by the Amarr trader.

Jita Station Trader #3 - New character learning basic trade skills. She won't do any trading until after she learns Trade IV, Retail IV, Broker Relations IV, Accounting IV and Margin Trading IV. She'll probably wind up working the low end modules market (T2 and meta 4). Currently training basic trade skills.

Account 2

My 2nd oldest account with the traders of Amarr, Dodixie and Rens. Amarr and Dodixie have 305 market orders (the maximum possible) with Tycoon V, Accounting V, Broker Relations V, Margin Trading V, Daytrading V and all other remote order skills at IV. Rens has 13 days of training to go (Tycoon V and Trade V) before they're all finished with trade skills.

Amarr Station Trader - 305 orders (maxed),  Does nothing but station trade. Finished training trade skills.

Dodixie Station Trader - 305 orders (maxed). Does nothing but station trade. Finished training trade skills.

Rens Station Trader - 269 orders. Does nothing but station trade. Currently training Tycoon V.

Account 3

Lonetrek Regional Trader - 305 orders, Tycoon V, Accounting V, Broker Relations V, Margin Trading V, Daytrading V and all other remote order skills at IV. Mainly a buyer, he does sell a few things but mostly just buys, flies to Jita and contracts goods to my traders there for resale. Finished training trade skills.

Jita Station Trader #2 -  305 orders, Tycoon IV, Accounting V, Broker Relations V, Margin Trading V, Daytrading IV and all other remote skills at IV. Does nothing but station trade implants and mods. Currently training Tycoon V.

Account 4

Jita Station Trader #1 - 269 orders, Tycoon V, Accounting V, Broker Relations V, Margin Trading V and all remote order skills at IV. Does nothing but station trade skillbooks.

Exploration / Scout / Scanning pilot - Flies Covert Ops (Buzzards) and is training Int/Mem support/scanning/exploration skills. Has all Astrometric skills at IV, most shield, navigation, fitting and exploration skills at IV or V. I don't plan on doing any serious trading on this character. He has 29 order slots, more than enough to buy things he needs and that's it. Currently training Energy Management V.

Account 5

My Main - On his own account (no more sharing the training queue) and concentrating mainly on Per/Wil combat skills, especially missile skills. 125 orders, Wholesale IV, Accounting IV, Broker Relations IV, Margin Trading IV and all of the "remote order" trade skills at IV. He hasn't been heavily involved in trade for some time now but does a little low maintenance trading in various places. Currently training Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV.

Account 6

Hek Station Trader - 305 orders, Tycoon V, Accounting V, Broker Relations V, Margin Trading V, Daytrading IV and the rest of the remote order skills at IV. Does nothing but station trade. Currently training Daytrading V.

Jita trader #4 - Yet another new trader. Won't do anything until he learns the basic trade skills Trade IV, Retail IV, Broker Relations IV, Accounting IV and Margin Trading IV. Will probably wind up taking over the Jita implants market from the current implants and mods trader allowing me to cover both the mods and implants markets better. Will start training basic trade skills in a few days.

Future plans

Overall I've been slowly working Regional Trade back into my trading strategy. Less work and higher profits per item though total profits aren't as high. I've gotten all remote order skills to IV on all my traders and started placing a mix of both station and regional orders on several of them. I've also gotten Daytrading V on most of them and might eventually get Marketing V on a few too.

Get the Couster  and Tash Murkon traders Broker Relations V and Accounting V. Then remap Int/Mem and work on flying support skills (mainly Navigation, Engineering and Electronics skills) for both characters. Will probably train both characters into Covert Ops too and might train one into Blockade Runners.

My main is mostly concentrating on getting more missile skills to V. I definitely want Caldari Cruisers V, Strategic Cruisers (Tengu), Recon and maybe Black Ops. I hate flying slow ships so battleships are low priority but eventually he'll get Caldari Battleships IV and Gallente Battleships 1 - IV (for Rattlesnakes) too. He'll be staying in the Per/Wil remap for a long time yet and will probably get a bunch of basic Gunnery skills to IV or V too.

Almost finished training trade skills on Amarr, Dodixie and Rens. I'll probably eventually train all three into Covert Ops and remap Int/Mem for support skills training though I might train one into something besides Trade (Industry maybe) first. Or I could transfer one of the "finished" characters to another account and start training up a new character on this account.

Continue training Int/Mem support skills on the exploration/scout/scanning character. Long term this character will continue following the Covert Ops line into Recon cruisers and eventually Black Ops battleships. Sometime soon I'll get Tycoon V and Trade V on the Jita skill-book trader too.

Remap Lonetrek to Int/Mem and start training for Covert Ops. Yes I know Cov Ops is Per/Wil, but the prereqs and support skills needed to fly Cov Ops well are mostly Int/Mem. Weapon skills don't matter, he's a trader not a fighter. Eventually get Tycoon V and Trade V on the Jita implants and mods trader too.

Train Covert Ops on Hek and train up trade skills on the new character. The new trader might eventually take over the Rens business so I can send the old Rens character (with Cov Ops) out to help with expansion in new regions.
