I mean… he’s right about it not being a backwater trade hub. It’s not even a trade hub and is barely a regional market. It has great margins because it has such low volume. Not sure what he means about fw pilots. Even the cal/gal war zone is extremity small with maybe 300 peak pilots with both sides combined and the amarr/min is even smaller. Hek is more like an American mining town. Sure at one point it was a great and it has a lot of history but now it’s empty aside from squatters and a few old folks too stubborn to move. ---

I used to operate my industrial operation out of Minmatar space using Hek as my main trade hub. Fond memories. The only problem with Hek was as I expanded what I did I rather grew out of it - it’s a great but small hub in an interesting bit of space. I operate out of Amarr now. ---
