Mission Log: Reginald Mental (that’s me), Capt. This was a bit more difficult of an assignment. Renting the space and installing the job was easy enough, but I was missing Mexilon, a mineral not in this system. So my options are to find a system that has Pyroxeres or Plagioclase asteroids, buy the Mexilon, or buy the Capacitor Boosters 25 myself. I decided to check the local market and see what my cost where. Turned out it would be cheaper and faster to just buy 20 units Capacitor Boosters 25 in station and keep the BPC for later. Figured later on I would find some Mexilon and I could build the Capacitor Boosters 25 and sell them and make back the money. The Agent did not ask where I got the goods, he was just happy to get them and the bonus alone covered my cost, so I still made a profit.

- This is similar to the third mission as you have to use the provided BPC to make an item. The problem is you don’t have the minerals to do it. So checking the market is a good option. In this case I checked the price for Mexilon and the amount I would need (from the BPC) and compared that price to that of 20 units Capacitor Boosters 25. The time and cost showed me that it was just easier to buy the finished product and deliver that to the agent. Later on I can, when I find the right ore, still do the job and resell the items and maybe make even more ISK than what I spent. This is a good example of using the market of EVE. One thing to watch for is where you buy and if you have to travel/haul the stuff back, so just don’t go for the cheapest price. For more on the Market, look for my article “This Little Pilot goes to Market”.
- As I mentioned in the third mission, some BP build more than one item at a time. This BPC has two runs, but each run builds 10 units of Capacitor Boosters 25
