LP Buyback

                                                       LP Buyback

Simpified:
  1. 'A' buys items to convert and trades the items with 'B' + ISK cost to convert
  2. 'B' converts items and trades back to 'A'
  3. 'B' gives 'A' ISK value (payout = exhange rate x LP cost to convert)

Person A buys 20x Cap Booster 800's.
Cost to convert 20 of them is 2,000 LP and 2 mil ISK.
Person A trades 2 mil. ISK and the boosters to Person B.
Person B converts the 20x Cap Booster 800's to Navy Cap Booster 800's and trades them back to A.
Person A figures out the rate of exchange (ISK/LP) and gives that to B. If the rate agreed on for example is 700 per LP, then Person A gives 700 x 2,000  = 1,4 mil.

Where it gets harder to figure is when larger numbers are used.

Example 2:
If we use a larger number, say: 1,000. Person A buys 1,000 Cap Booster 800's. Since each order is 20 cap boosters, it means they trade 1,000 to Person B + the ISK cost to convert them all. If each order is 20x Navy Cap Boosters, it means that it takes 50 orders of 20x Navy Cap Boosters. So, the cost of each lot of 20 (2 mil ISK) has to be multiplied by the number of orders (50, in this case). So, the total cost to convert 1,000 Cap Boosters will be 50 x 2 mil = 100 mil ISK.

In this second case (converting 1,000 of them), Person A will buy 1,000, trade them and 100 million ISK to Person B. Person B will use the ISK and Cap Batteries provided to convert them all to Navy Cap Booster 800's and trade them back to Person A. Person A will then figure out that 50 orders at 2,000 LP an order (1.4 mil./order) = 50 x 1.4 mil. = 70 million ISK. So, when Person A gets the 1,000 converted Navy Cap Booster 800's back from Person B, they will then owe Person B 70 million ISK.

Eve Online - Faction Warfare Missioning

Basics: Gain ISK and LP by completing and turning in missions. Missions are against npc's (non-player "rats"). They generally involve destroying an object (like a reactor), or a head honcho rat (like a Sector Commander). With ISK you can purchase whatever you need off the Eve markets. LP you use to purchase items in your corporations Loyalty Points Store (LP = Loyalty Points). How lucrative is mission running? It depends on the tier the faction is at in the warzone. If you complete 20 missions, you should on average at Tier 3 get a payout of about 40 million ISK and 450K-550K LP. At about 700 ISK/LP that translates to about 350 mil. ISK. At Tier 4, those same missions completed should pay out 650k-850k LP. This would translate to about 550 mil. ISK. What do I use to run missions? Current doctrine suggests that if you're Amarr fighting against Minmatar, the best ship to use on Level 3 and 4 missions is a Stealth Bomber called the Hound . You can stay at range

Why the world doesn't need Superman

When you read a romantic novel, or watch a blockbuster movie, or even something as mundane as a soap opera, the girl always gets her man. She always leaves another man, less worthy than this Superman. He invariably beat her, or never had time for his kids because he was too busy with his job, or carried on affairs with someone from his office, or any one of a dozen or so standard reasons. But, she leaves him because she found her true love, her Super Man. In any case there is this unworthy ex that we as the audience find despicable in some way so that her leaving him is justified and the right thing to do. This is a metaphor, of course, but what happens to all those unworthy ? Are they as bad as all that, or do they just serve as a mechanism that allows the plot to permit this behavior of hers? So who are these nameless unworthy ? In fact they do have names and personalities, and I'd wager they are not quit as bad as made out. Why? Because I am one of these, and as a member of t

Commentary: Religion - Why it's hard for me to Believe

1. I have been ernest many times in my pleas to ask something of God and I've never received a whisper of a voice back. I've wanted to talk to my Dad, but have never heard any voices talking back. I would venture to say that if I had heard either, anyone upon hearing of that would think I'm 'mental' and suggest I see a psychiatrist, no? How about priests? They say they 'talk to God' and that God 'speaks' to them, but they never claim to have actually heard an actual voice. If all this time the real audio communication is only one-way, how is there any proof that anything is on the other side? 2. Sure, there are stories of miracles, but in your life or mine or anyone we know... When was the last time there has been an unequivical miracle happen that cannot be explained away as anything else but a miracle? 3. When people get a touchdown, they thank God. When they're rescued from a burning building, they thank God. When they're rescued from a pr
