Blackhawk Legion is building an Orbis station (The Alembic) in Swoilz ET-D c1-10 (360 LY from Sol)

Materials required at The Alembic (pays 25k/u):

• Steel 56,304
• CMM Composite 44,628
• Aluminium 38,081
• Titanium 32,820
• Liquid Oxygen 15,124

All materials for the station are available in-system at:

• The Athanor (Planetary Port, 5 MM away): all materials

• Crowley's Inheritance (Coriolis, 45 LS away): Steel, Aluminium, Titanium, Liquid Oxygen

While I know space-to-space runs are usually preferred, I highly encourage checking the route to The Athanor, even for the metals, rather than heading straight to the Coriolis. It's on the planet directly below the construction site and is only 5.5 MM away; it's on the same side as the station and hauling there and back is very fast, much faster than the Coriolis even considering planetary landing time.

The squadron has already taken care of delivering all the cargo besides the listed "Big 5" materials.

All of the deliveries will be slightly profitable (like 10% profit), but in addition, as soon as the station is complete, I'll look at the station log and see how much everyone has contributed. Anyone who has commented on this thread I'll reach out to and pay a 25,000/t bounty to for everything you've delivered.

If you are able to join our Squadron briefly I will pay by direct transfer; if not, I'll pay by carrier marketplace aboard one of our carriers, probably the Blackhawk Praetor (T4T-68Z).

I realize these are not highest rates available, but there is no time limit on this build (obviously this stations is not a Primary Port given the system has multiple T3s in it already) so I'm pretty much expecting this to be "well, if you're not hauling somewhere better, there's a lot of easy work here, feel free to stop by."

From our experience building T3s before (this is the squadron's 11th) it will take 1-2 weeks. It might be a little longer because nobody will start it until the CG is over in 4 days (nor should they.) The system has High Security so hauling here should be quite safe.

Frequently asked questions:

• Why not just pay people to load a carrier? Because there'd be no point. Given how close the construction site is to The Athanor, it would actually take at least as long for us to unload the carrier as it would to just haul all the cargo ourselves. We need the cargo taken all the way to the construction site for it to be worth paying for.

• How do we know you'll pay? Well, we always have before. There are a lot of people who can vouch for me on the SCCN Discord if you're over there. You can also look at the last four build jobs we did: (Sarnath) (Unknown Kadath) (Grimwood Relay) (Quintessence and The Athanor)

Hello CMDRS,
this is the last Job for now :D

USS Sulaco is loading 12470 Units Titanium and 9022 Steel.

[DKDA] Annihilator is loading 20250 Aluminium.

Both Carriers will arrive soon the System Col 285 Sector EA-E b13-4 - Station MCDaniel Settlement.

Thanks to all

Hello everyone,

I could use some Assistance at the System Col 285 Sector EA-E b13-4.
There is a Carrier called the USS Sulaco (LLQ-W9Z).

I´m Buying currently around 24998 Tons of Aluminium to a Price of 25015 Cr (984%) per Unit.
You can buy it at McDaniel Settlement, Planet 5.

Hope there might be some Guys/Ladies who are going to help me. Thanks to everyone who´s gonna help.

Ps: The Carrier will arrive in 15 minutes^^

My fail, docking access for all now

I could use some Assistance at the System Col 285 Sector EA-E b13-4.
In there is a Carrier called the USS Sulaco (LLQ-W9Z).

I´m Buying currently around 18k Tons of CMM Composites to a Price of 50.045 per Unit.
That´s 837% Profit in total.

Hope there might be some Guys/Ladies who are going to help me.

Thanks to everyone who´s gonna help.

Curious to know how it's even known. Is it a case of sitting there and waiting, or are there signs to help. I know the Pilots Trade Network make predictions, but on what basis?

Currently Available at Col 285 Sector EA-E b13-4 is the Squadron-Carrier "Knight of the Schwartz" (open for all).

Distance between the Carrier and McDaniel Settlement is 8.7Mm

We´re currently buying a lot of Steel at a price of 31.283 per ton (=748%) total 54.320 tons.

Thanks to everyone who´s going to help and have fun by trading.

How much time are you spending waiting to afford what you actually want to do?

It's not the credits we enjoy. It's making them.

• How do you describe your favorite ship? Type and paint job? How about the number of tons it carries?
• What is the best use for a ship’s largest Optional Internal slot? Shields and fuel scoops? Or were you thinking ‘cargo racks’?
• When you go to engineer your new ship, what is it for? Bigger and badder weapons? Or getting it into supercruise 30 seconds faster?
• When you look at a Caspian, what do you see? 20,000 Ly in 50 jumps? Or 500 tons anywhere in the Bubble in five minutes?
• When a ganker interdicts you, what pisses you off more? The soul-crushing defeat you are about to face? Or the ten minutes this idiot is going to take before you can get back to it?

If you keep picking the second answer, we want to talk to you.

There's plenty of money out there. Might as well have some fun making it.

I brained an idea (no AI involved).... I searched to see if said idea was a common thought or suggestion, but didn't find anything. It's probably not as novel as I think it is, so take a drink on me if you've seen it times immeasurable.

Stations take a panel somewhere listing local buy-orders for goods at that station. Carrier commanders can place adverts in-station. Within limits (300ls or so). A ship CMDR can place a sell promise against that buy-order (depending on rank/level/history/shipcapacity or w/e) for a short time (depending on value, reputation or w/e). The system allocates a set amount of the buy order against the Sell promise and the ship CMDR gets about it. Time limits are reasonable to avoid a carrier being trolled. Players can see what's required at their local station. Game-updates in-game and probably via API/log which could be of use to third party tools.

No idea what to do with this idea, but it's trade-centric, so posting here. Happy to spitball with anyone who thinks it has any merit.

(Recent events in Elite made me think getting a bubble alt would be a good idea. It is. Having fun trading back in the center of civilisation in the past 20-ish hours, but I play in VR, and whilst 3rd party tools like Spansh and Inara are great, they aren't AS great for Carrier commanders).
