What?! What do you mean by “Selling Planet Risk” ?!?

1. We are in fact selling our home system in w-space which we affectionately call Planet Risk.

2. We are also selling our Planet Risk related wormhole-fu and settling services. i.e. we will provide all the information we have gathered the hard way regarding all relevant aspects we have encountered, plus we will help the newcomers to settle down, setup their POSes etc and after they are comfortable with the arrangement we shall be gone from the system with no claims to come back to.

3. We used to be carebears, doing missions and mining in empire space before we got here. We like to think we evolved into newbs and had a great time and fun while doing so! We are now extending this opportunity to come and establish your own base in our very own system, with all the good stuff and our lessons learned, to the highest bidder!

OK… so who is this sale for?

1. Small to medium sized corps. Planet Risk’s optimal usage will come from corporations with no less than 5 and no more than 15 active players. On a theoretical level Planet Risk can be inhabited and operated by less than 5 people but farming the neighboring C5 plexes with less than 5 pilots is a death wish. More than 15 pilots will need to go on farming sprees more often to ensure a big paycheck at the end of the month.

2. Carebears who have always been dreaming of exploring the fun side of EVE but who do not have the experience to venture into null sec and who do not wish to band under the protective wings of an Alliance. If you’re bored silly of grinding missions in empire and you feel like you’d go all Stockholm Syndrome if you crunch another Veldspar rock, then Planet Risk is for you. Keep in mind that Planet Risk, though a much safer place to be than your cookie cutter null sec, is still 0.0 space and PVP encounters will happen relatively frequently.

3. People willing to invest ISK into a w-space colonization operation in terms of equipment, know-how, real estate and colonization services. A couple of billion ISK in your corp.’s wallet should be your starting point. You’ll make those back in the first month in Planet Risk with quite a profit margin. By the second month you’ll be able to make your corp 15bil/month.

4. Any other type of player who wishes to colonize w-space for specific types of operations. We suggest that you go over our podcasts and blog posts as we have extensively covered life on the wormhole and looked at it from various profession perspectives, such as those of Pirates, Resource Harvesters, Industrialists, Carebears, PVPers, Researchers, Mercenaries etc…

Hmm… so if we have a small (5-15 man) corp… Why don’t we wait for Dominion and try to claim our own 0.0 system?

1. Wormhole life is in many ways different than null sec. If you know the ropes you can make boatloads of ISK in relative safety at the same time. In fact you can up to a point control the level of exposure to danger. All of our corpmates have their +4/+5 implants on them. How many 0.0 citizens can tell you that?

2. You won’t find yourself against big blobs. Planet Risk is a Class 2 system, and all wormholes that spawn from and to it will not allow anything bigger than a Battleship to go through. You can rest assured that unless another corp is VERY determined to rip you out of Planet Risk and settle there your POS is going to be perfectly safe.

3. Wormhole life is suited for both Teamwork and Solo activities. You can have fun (and ISK) alone or with your corpmates doing Plexes and sites or ambushing other pilots in neighboring systems, or organizing mining expeditions. Planet Risk plexes are soloable, albeit time consuming.

4. You can start your own T3 production. We started a couple of months ago and now we can build practically every T3 ship and subsystem. The cost of building T3 ships for our own use is only a fraction of the retail market price, so you can either equip your own team or sell them for profit.

5. You can run your own T1 production inside Planet risk, research your BPOs and construct everything less than a super capital ship with no war-declarations to scare you or threaten your POS. In fact if a corp declares war against your corp, it gives you the added bonus of a good laugh.

6. After Dominion you will most probably have to fight to claim your space rather than just come here and start farming Class 5’s the next day.

Plus, you won’t be missing the ratting aspect of 0.0 since you get your daily wormhole linking to it

Sounds great! Can you tell me more about Planet Risk?

Planet Risk is the name we gave to our Class 2 wormhole system. It’s official designation is J163923. It has no native wormhole anomalies that affect your ships. It has two static connections that daily connect to a different Class 5 system (N062 wormholes) and 0.0 (E545). It also sports infrequent access to/from HighSec (about once every 2 weeks) and other Class systems, as well as Low sec.

We have established our presence here since 20th of May 2009, and you can read about the first 10 weeks on the Captain’s log section of our website.

You cannot bring in capital ships in Planet Risk. The ships that fit through any wormhole connection to it are all combat ships up to Battleships, all industrial ships except freighters and the Orca. You can build capitals inside Planet Risk to facilitate your life, BUT you will not be able to take them out of Planet Risk.

You can check out some of the screenshots section to take a look of our system. FYI, it has the same colors as the Apocrypha login screen of your EvE client

Won’t I make more ISK per day if I stay in Empire Space and run missions/mine and follow the life of a carebear?

Until you get a solid operation up and running you’ll probably make less ISK than you would if you spent your days grinding L4 missions. Once you get the hang of it though you’ll be able to make the same money in 1/10th of the time and by investing 1/10th of the effort while at the same time having 10 times more fun.

For mining w-space is hands down a lot more profitable. Arkonor, Bistot and Crokite are going to be your daily asteroids.

Now if you are scared shitless of PVP and the very notion of shooting and being shot at by other players makes you sick then Wormhole Space is not for you. If however you dare to be bold,  our “casual” player can expect a monthly paycheck ranging from 500M to a Billion ISK to hit his wallet. A week  month of dedicated farming can net your corp 15 or even 20 billions. Not bad eh? EDIT: corrected: it’s month not week tnx Disndale!

Not to mention the fun you will have and the sense of exploration!

So why the hell are you selling it if it is such a money maker?

While Planet Risk, being a C2 system, is an excellent place to start your career as a wormhole colonist up, it can accommodate you up to a certain degree. Once you grow in numbers you will eventually seek out more resources to satisfy your ever increasing demands, as well as new challenges. For quite a few months Planet Risk will be able to give you a new thrill every day, but as you grow accustomed to the wormhole way of life, these thrills and challenges become more and more trivial.

We have reached the point where we want to expand and invest in bigger premises and greener pastures. Larger and tougher battles, capital ships, more ISK, new experiences. We won’t be leaving w-space. Just relocating into a higher class system. But even with those demands in place, we calculate that Planet Risk could accommodate us for at least another 6 months. We do however get antsy =P

OK sounds interesting… So what do you offer?

Here is our offer:

1. The way we have our daily operations running in every aspect of living within wormhole space. In particular:

a. POS Setups & Fittings & Defensive tips & tricks as well as assorted Bookmarks to help you defend your base(s).

b. POS Refueling operations & best practices

c. Hybrid Polymer Reaction operations and method of optimizing your production for maximum profits and/or T3 production

d. Tech 3 production operations and profit optimization

e. How to work with Planet Risk native wormholes (daily openings to Null sec and Class 5 systems) including scanning tips and defending against heavily populated systems.

f. Class 5 encounters. Including PVE anomalies and Magnetometric and Radar sites that require fleet operations. Detailed wave-after-wave explanation of triggers, Sleeper rats, expected profit per site, and more…

g. PVP guide for wormholeers – what you need to know to be safe in the lawless 0.0 wormhole space, how to defend yourself and how to fight back

h. Mining operations & best practices, including detailed analysis of all the Gravimetric and Ladar sites found in Planet Risk, as well as mining tips & tricks for wormhole space.

2. In addition to the above list, we can provide the following tools:

a. A detailed spreadsheet that anyone can use (comes with a how-to-use-guide) that will be able to help you plan what to bring inside wormhole space, how to haul it using industrial ships, how to optimize your cargohold to minimize jumps through wormholes and how to fit your POS properly.

b. A detailed spreadsheet that will be uber-helpful to POS refueling operations.

c. A detailed spreadsheet for T3 production needs and Hybrid Polymer reactions

d. The method we use for giving away paychecks to our corpmates every 15 days, including (you guessed it) the detailed spreadsheet to help out with the calculations.

3. Finally we shall be providing any support needed for the buyer to move their possessions from K-space into Planet Risk, including (but not limited) to:

a. Scanning of appropriate K-Space systems to be used as entry points

b. Hauling support by our industrial fleet, including (if needed) Freighter(s) and/or Orca(s)

c. Combat Fleet to protect the Hauling operation(s).

d. Safespot under our POS Shields during the setup of your new base.

Hmm so besides the money you ask, I need to acquire lots of stuff as well! Any idea how much the whole thing is going to cost me?

Well.. Good News!

We will be more than happy to sell you any/all of our belongings at face value (zero profit) to go along with the sale. This way we won’t have to carry lots of stuff outside and into our Class-6 and you will have all the stuff you need inside Planet Risk waiting for you to use.

The list of available assets will be made available upon request, but just to give you an idea we are talking about 2 Large POSes, shitloads of structures for all T1 ships/modules/rigs production, T3 production end-to-end and lots of ships that we’d rather sell than have to carry around with us.

Wow!… So anything else I need to know?

1. We keep the rights to the name Planet Risk. Period. Other than that you can name your system whatever you like. At most we might accept a name in the lines of “The system formerly known as Planet Risk”. =)

2. You must be speaking on behalf of your corp, so need to be either a CEO or Director to vouch for your genuine interest.

3. This is not an open bid, and it will run for as long as it takes till we have a satisfying offer. I’d say that we definitely won’t bother for less than 2 Billion ISK for the real estate, so your offer needs to be considered as a long-term investment from your end.

4. We shall keep all bids/discussions confidential and the buyer will decide if they want their name to be public after the transaction is complete and the system is under their control.

5. We shall provide all the needed support before-during-and-after the transaction to the buying corp to make sure they enjoy wormhole space as much as we did!

So what are you going to do with the money you make out of this sale?

We are going to invest it in our Class-6 project more on that soon ™!
