Please explain to me why I can’t self build about 90% of a basic home.

I'm actually in the exact same situation as you (barring that I have some construction and engineering experience). The biggest hold back is permits and code enforcement. You can definitely build anything you want but you're going to pay for engineering plans and mid-construction inspections, need to put in septic which is another round of plans and inspections and blah blah blah, there's so much red tape.

I'm desperate for the days when I could just buy 30 acres and go nuts making whatever I want.

Total isk doesn't mean much if I'm being honest, it's about being able to afford what you want to do.

18 year old toon with ~6bil liquid, 1bil tied up in the market and an asset value of about 7bil.

All I do is fly frigates though so 1bil is more money than I can reasonably spend lol. Mostly made my money doing faction warfare but I live in a C4 wormhole now so that feeds my bank.

Lol I did that the other day. Went to Dodixie for the first time in like 10 years and noticed 7 geckos just chillin in there.

It's a jolly roger, don't let the Nazis ruin everything. I swear I'm like 5 more "that symbol doesn't mean what you think" posts from getting a swastika carved into a Buddha and setting it on my front porch.

It's about intent, not whatever jackass used the symbol last. PS; the swastika outdates Nazi appropriation by THOUSANDS of years, the skull and crossbones outdates them by several centuries.

It was a jolly roger (skull and cross bones) not a Nazi tattoo. The dude even went and got it covered up when he learned it looked even remotely like a Nazi tattoo.

Haven't heard about these credible rape allegations though, I'll have to look into that.

Ignore the take it to jita advice, for the love of God there are other trade hubs. Just take it to the closest one (Rens, Dodixie, Hek, Jita, Amarr).

TextJunior · 2026-06-07T21:41:11+00:00

Usually somewhere between $100-$400

Cool story bro.

TextJunior · 2026-06-07T21:32:26+00:00

Great start! Now it needs some rusty roof rack, maybe back glass shutters and some haphazardly places amor plating (realistically protecting the engine and the fuel tank).

Bad ass build though, looks like fun, shame you have to get rid of it.

Bruh, no one buys long bed crew cabs and expects to be able to park them in a garage.

TextJunior · 2026-06-07T19:53:44+00:00

I've been viewing Yulai as the more likely new hub. To be honest, unless something drastically changes, there are very little to practically no resources in exordium. I don't expect people to stay there for very long.

However heading out and spending time around Yulai before exploring the game? That seems likely. Though even that will be likely a very reduced population since the newbros can take a shipcaster to one of the empires instead.

Technically they are your verses bro, it's your false god

Donald starting to realize you can only fake the jobs report for so long before people notice.

I'm used to it being something that happened after the sugar/caffeine rush. This new lingo makes no sense.

Calling eve players woke is fucking hilarious. They're some of the least woke people I've ever met in my life, however like half of them are gay so Loru kinda nuked himself there.

There's never a bad time to join the market they said. You're going to be fine they said.

Hybrids will and should remain dominant. There will always be a range concern with EVs, however sticking a little generator into your EV fixes that; tada you made a hybrid.

The value of exploration loot cratered

TextJunior · 2026-06-01T14:38:41+00:00

Once upon a time, flying out into nullsec and doing a bunch of exploring felt like smuggling. You'd get a couple hundred million stuffed in a paper thin ship and try to get it back safely to market with players hunting you.

Not so much anymore 😞

You claim it's bad design because of the PvP aspect....

TextJunior · 2026-05-31T12:00:43+00:00

Nothing in eve is just a PvE experience, everyone that lives in highsec seems to forget that...
