Being very new to Test I haven't had time to really judge where the strong interest lies around these parts. So I was very curious to hear from some other members about whether or not they plan on taking an industry path towards greatness.
I have always been motivated to get into industry after playing Eve for a number of years. I joined in 2008 and only played casually for the first few years, so I missed my chance to really get established in industry. A few years back I came into a circle of friends who were in their own rights Captains of industry in respects to their respective area's. For example one of these friends produced the majority of Capital ships for one of the major alliances, and although he had strong ties to them, he owned and controlled all of the production for these capital ships. He was racking in the money, and barely knew what to do with it all! The rest of these guys were from numerous other coalitions and alliances, but all were heavily invested in industry especially in Wormholes. Together they formed a real powerhouse of capital, assets and power that was really very impressive.
TL;DR
My friends in Eve were all filthy rich, and I want to be them in SC.
For the most part I consider them to be a sort of inspiration, and the reason I want to hit the ground running with SC. I personally plan on trying to take control of multiple production nodes (not by myself or just for myself) or at least work towards such a thing. I don't have any solid plans yet as I am still waiting on more info regarding game mechanics.
Although there has been alot of heavy emphasis on the scope of industry in the past, there hasn't been much technical info released; for the most part just the overarching design of the economy. That worries me a little bit, my dream would be one more robust than Eve's, but I am always afraid of the economy being overly simplified.
I'd love to hear more from those who plan on deviling into industry, perhaps those interested might want to get together in the future and talk about pooling resources or having some discussions.
