Shaw,
First of all, I would like to respond to your comment about my handle. To be fair I find it far more disrespectful that somebody didn’t want to reply to me in chat because of the way they felt about my in game handle, rather than than quality of the chat in which I engage. Most people did and still call me Holy, and the uncomfortably one might feel was clearly not shared by me. In any case that is a moot point. I hope my new handle makes you feel more comfortable.
I wouldn’t have offered to assist you (or any other fleet-mate) if I didn’t want to, or I thought it was work, but your journey differs from mine. You asked for an alternative, I gave you one 🙂
LLAP
Hi Shaw
Resident Ferengi here. Patience is the ‘key’. The first question I have for you is what do you love about the Inquiry, and can that itch be scratched with something else. If not, you need time.
There is an in-game Trading Channel (TheTradingChannel) and various Discord channel, but you won’t find the Inquiry for less then 1B, ever. Ship prices are relatively static, yes they bounce around depending on sales etc, but over long periods of time they tend to follow predicable averages.
You would need 171 keys to make the 1.2B, which can get RL pricy, but you can offset this with careful dabbling in the Zen/Dil exchange, and buy keys with no RL investment.
I embarked on my Ferengi-ism last year, because I desperately wanted the Donnie, and I didn’t/couldn’t spend RL money on it. Using a spreadsheet and a special set of skills, I got my ship and love it, but it took time doing it completely F2P. Since then I have discovered an innate love of Exchange PVP, which is rewarding, but not for the faint of heart – you need to be prepared to take a bath on some investments.
There are lots of different ways to make EC, but there’s no guaranteed get rich scheme, you need to build a nest egg, then diversify, and then be patient. Build the nest egg in the usual manner, Admiralty, Endeavors and selling of loot, maybe snag a 20 ket pack on sale when you can.
I can help you with starting out if you like, even mature a starting fund if you’d trust me to do so. Hit me up here, or in game.
