The 15/15/15 Plan

Hello Folks,

I've been working towards a definite FDR armory plan for a while, so I suppose that I should distribute it for a general viewing.

The 15/15/15 plan has three main components:

Phase 1:

The fleet acquire 15 of each rare (non-consumable) items. (Achieved)

Phase 2:

The Fleet acquire 15 of each Lab Gear item. (Almost there)

Phase 3:

The Fleet aquire 15 of each Rare+ item. (About 40% of the way there)

At this point, I believe that we should look towards building up a cash reserve to pay back Beano and Comsat Angel. I suspect that we will be looking to acquire at least 400m cargo in order to pay off the loans, and exercise a fair number of the 'option to purchase' deals that Beano has offered.

400m is a huge amount, but does not actually require heavy duty splatting contests or big contributions. Between BJB and myself, we can make a fair amount of money buying and selling points, duct tape and AICBs. With 100m+ in the vault, even a 3% return means another 3m for the vault.

Comments?

I agree. Now that we have a decent amount of money in the armory, we can make it grow well without putting too heavy a burden on the fleet members.

The 15/15/15 armory plan will be added to the final draft of the fleet goals. I like it. It sets definite and achievable goals for the armory.

I completely approve of this as well...

My contribution to this will be sometimes similar to BJBs and BBs however, I am however, better at making money through item trades rather then straight sales, so in addition to the straight AICB DT speculating, I am really good at increasing our armory while keeping money steady...

For instance, I took the fleets 2 ECAIs and came back with 36M (our purchase price) plus 3 PEs (techincally a profit of 15-21M)... bringing us closer to the 3rd 15/15/15 goal while not depleting our funds...

so in other words while BJB and BB focus solely on making money, I will be trying to use our assets to make some money and acquire some new gear...

It should be pointed out that the ultimate goal of this is to start acquiring VR gear for the fleet. PCs LNCs CXS, MTC and so on... We will get there, not for a bit but we will get there.

Jay makes a good point. Eventually I envision broadening the 15 plan to include cheap VR's then later expensive VR's. First we need to cover our debts. Then we can start acquiring even more awesome equipment for the whole fleet to use. Its a good very long term thing to keep in mind.
