1s When there’s a big war going on somewhere in the universe,
5s that always reflects on the market.
8s Which makes people like me happy because we are the ones making money off it!
13s I’m the CEO of an industrial corporation in EVE Online.
16s We are a five-man operation and we specialise in
20s manufacturing and delivering fully-fitted ships in bulk.
25s After huge battles where people lose thousands of ships,
29s then the next day what they’re doing is they are re-shipping right?
34s This is where my corporation comes in.
37s When we receive an order from a client
39s the first thing we do is separate everything
41s we analyse it
42s we look at all of the ship hulls,
44s all of the rigs,the ammo, the modules,
46s and then everybody just gets to work.
50s Some of us are going to be specialised in mining
53s or keeping an eye on the stockpiles,
55s and these primary resources are going to be picked up
58s by someone else to refine into components that you can start using for manufacturing.
63s Then in order to do this they are also going to need a blueprint
66s that is researched and ready to be used for production.
73s It’s a special kind of fun setting up the entire process
75s from the raw minerals to the finished product.
79s Imagine an alliance of thousands of people
81s that needs to refit and entire fleet
84s They just have to say “I want this” ...
87s and it just gets delivered to their doorstep
91s One of the most magical things in EVE is there are so many different ways to play
96s and different things to do that it can appeal to completely different people.
102s I think what makes industrialists different is that they are not driven by conflict.
107s They are the other side of coin
109s where they find their enjoyment in providing something for other people.
116s What they do is absolutely key for
118s everything else that happens in the universe
120s there would be no combat if there were no ships being built.
