Mistake number one, thinking I had already set my points necessary to keep me "mostly" free of bubbles and moving along my merry way.
That's right, turns out there were no links to anything once I got into the null systems (about 10 low sec jumps in).
Now if we rewind just a bit, I spent almost the entire day Saturday setting up my "safe" spots and my out of warp vortex bookmarks.
I did a great job, took my time and actually placed them like I had the whole year to do it.
In doing so, I also spent the amount of time I like to slow boating around, getting the correct random distance and watching local for conversations and just generally learning as much as I could about the area I was travelling around in.
Well, somehow - using the old GPS - I managed to go the wrong way. That has never happened to me before I assure you ;), but somehow I ended up on the very route I was trying to avoid. By the time I had realized it it was way too late. In addition I committed a big no no by not taking a scout with me (as I had preciously scouted it out myself.)
However, I got to meet some new people, lost a ship and eventually ended up spending the rest of the first day setting spots on the really dangerous route. I won't be going that way too often, but at least I can if I have to now. I would have left and headed back to high sec to reconnect to my original route but unfortunately once you're in deep enough it's just makes more sense to work your way through to the end point.
In other news, I've got all my equipment in place for my first three planets and at this point they are just in collect mode as is the entire operation. I like to build up a small supply of my ingredients before I head off and start manufacturing, that way there will never be a lag in the chain.
Over the 6 characters I have mapped out where they will extract and what they will extract, who's in charge of production and who manages the factories. We are all ready to go as soon as some of the others finish up their training, also fits in with us just collecting at the moment.
I'll be honest, just by getting up all the extractors and selling what comes off of that, it's starting to look really close to my final number at the end of the production cycle and that makes me a little frustrated as I want to complete the chain but I definitely won't if it's not worth the amount of profit that I pull out of it later.
Too early to make a decision on that as I really need to see everything in action and spitting out final products, sell a bit and keep on or change it up.
No rush, it's a learning experience and I plan on sucking everything I can out of it.

So ironic, check out the last paragraph of the last post. I should have known I was talking about myself, lol.
