But EVE's reputation is such that I doubt that people would leave a small time trader alone.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-13838021212275235262017-09-15T19:22:47.527-04:002017-09-15T19:22:47.527-04:00"But if you want to be good at EVE, you need ..."But if you want to be good at EVE, you need to run spreadsheets.
