Has anyone else been using niyabainen, or any system 1 jump from perimeter, to sell their goods? Basically everything has buy orders set up in perimeter now, so buy orders can be filled from any of the adjacent systems.
I’ve personally been selling my goods to random npc stations 1 jump away from perimeter in order to avoid gankers, and I’m wondering why more people aren’t doing the same.
There was a very interesting study performed about this particular facet of player behavior. See the illustration below, which contains a synopsis of that scientific paper’s findings.
Most people don’t live in highsec and thus don’t have to worry about “number of jumps” or silly things like that. They just log in a Jita alt, remote update buy orders from there, collect their goods, and set up courier contracts to ship it out from Jita.
I don’t know of many couriers who care to manage spread out inventory of their customers, so they just request all courier contracts be made from a market hub (Jita, Amarr, etc.) for convenience. I know if I got a courier contract for goods outside of Jita, I wouldn’t bother to pick it up because it’d be a waste of time and an unnecessary risk.
