Back in Business: Goals
With the introduction of lifetime persistence prices and profits have gone down the drain. I just spent an hour making 150,000 credits and this was my best run. Not to long ago making over half a million an hour was a breeze. With new challenges come new opportunities to overcome them.
This week I'm going to set a new BHAG. There is a popular tag ling referred to as the BHAG (pronounced bee-hag, short for "Big Hairy Audacious Goals") As the cargo department, we're going to set a new goal before the next patch hits.
Up to this date we've been able to buy at least one Drake Caterpillar every patch since the ships were available for purchase in game. Some times we got Freelancers, Cutlasses, Caterpillars, but we've done it every patch without a hitch.
Our goal by the next patch is to purchase at least one Drake Caterpillar before the patch is over and give it to one of our top cargo members who doesn't have one on their account. If it persists over to the next patch, we'll be ahead of the game, but if it doesn't we'll be able to say we set a big hairy audacious goal and achieved it despite the odds against us. Despite the price changes, the drops in profits, the increase in traders.
Anyone can achieve a goal when there's no challenge in doing it, but the real heroes make their mark when every odd conspires against them to achieve it.
I've created a few graphics to illustrate our goal. Before 3.9 hits we'll want to have at least one drake caterpillar purchased plus the cost of cargo to keep hauling in that ship plus all our current fleet. I'm referring to the cost of cargo has the cargo baseline, which is about 400,000 credits per caterpillar. At the current prices, one Caterpillar with the cargo baseline can produce 150,000 a day pretty easily, by just donging about an hour of hauling.
6,286,600 is the number that we are shooting for. That will be enough to buy the 4.7 million credit ship plus 400k worth of cargo, and still have an additional 1.2 million credits for cargo in the other 3 ships that made that amount in the first place.
Any questions? You know where to find me, I'll see you in the verse.
