Introduction

This is a list of items intended for trade in Agony's 0.0 stations.

General Notes for Trading in 0.0

Ammunition and Charges

Ammo: Faction ammo is very popular among pvpers of all skill level so I make sure to supply plenty of it. Among T2 ammo there is some deemed "useless" or very situational and this is typically a waste to supply. I try to supply popular T2 ammo that are used in common pvp fits. Barrage S and M enjoys good consumption. Spike M and S enjoy some consumption as well as Tremor S (used for Agony's flyby destroyer gangs). Aurora M is good for sniper Zealots which are popular in hac gangs. Scorch of all sizes is a god-sent ammo for Amarr pilots. I don't sell void, conflagration, quake. Large ammunition like antimatter L or barrage L gets bought all too rarely to be worth it to sell.

• Federation Navy or Caldari Navy antimatter charges S and M - fed navy and cal navy are equivalent to each other, so you can purchase whichever one is cheapest, good consumption
• Null S and M - gets consumed though not in huge quantities, useful to carry for blaster-boat pilots who can't quite get into that 2-3km optimal range, consumption is low to moderate
• Republic Fleet fusion and emp S and M - this is short range high damage minmatar ammo, fusion does explosive damage against armor tankers while emp does em damage against shield tankers, good consumption
• Barrage S and M - popular ammo to use with T2 Minmatar guns, relatively high consumption
• Tremor S - sniper-thrasher pilots consume this one, low consumtion
• Aurora M - for sniper-Zealots and Harbingers, low consumption
• Scorch S, M, L - popular Amarr T2 ammo, very useful, moderate consumption
• Amarr navy multifrequency crystals S, M, L - because scorch and aurora give tracking penalty sometimes Amarr pilots choose to load navy multi, low consumption
• Regular multifrequency, standard, and infrared or radio crystals S, M, L - ammunition for amarr is kind of expensive to lose along with the ship because faction crystals cost 400K-1+ mil per crystal so often Amarr pilots who cannot use T2 guns would opt to load cheaper fits with cheap regular crystals, low consumption
• Spike S and M - useful for sniper cormorants as well as sniping gallente and caldari ships, HSLR deimos and eagle, sniping brutixes and myrmidon, low consumption
  
  

Missiles: A variety of Caldari ships get bonuses to kinetic damage of missiles so kinetic missiles generally have high consumption rates. HAM and HML Drakes are very popular ships to fly for pvp and pve. Practically all races have ships that can fit missile launchers so it is not just Caldari pilots who will purchase these. Besides kinetic missiles I also try to supply heavy and cruise missiles for damage type to which local rats are weakest to for NPCers and plex runners. Defenders and FoFs are quite situational and are very low sell volume items, so I don't supply these.

• Caldari Navy Foxfire and Phalanx rockets - since Crow is the only small ship that gets a bonus to kinetic missiles and since rocket Crows are very rare, thermal and explosive rockets have best consumption rates
• Caldai Navy Bloodclaw and Flameburst light missiles - Bloodclaw is for the Kestrels and Crows, Flameburst is good all-around light missile type
• Caldari Navy Scourge Heavy missiles + rat specific heavy missiles - Scourge are kinetic long range missiles for Caracals and Drakes, for second damage type to import pick it to match lowest resistance on local rats
• Caldari Navy Terror heavy assault missiles - these are short range high damage missiles for HAM-ships, can also import CN fulmination for explosive damage type
• Cruise missiles - i don't import much of these, if I do usually pick them to match weakness on resists of local rats, these mostly get used for PVE
• Caldari Navy torpedoes - i import small quantities of all torpedo types for the stealth bombers and occasional Raven pilots buy these as well
  
  

Bombs: These are relatively low-consumption items but essential to attracting stealth bomber pilots into the area. Because SBs cargohold can only carry 2 bombs, after a few bombing attempts the SB pilots start looking for a nearby place to resupply. Most SB pilot fly the Manticore so Concussion bombs enjoy higher sell rates. The void and lockbreaker bombs very get purchased rarely even in empire and are quite situational, so I've never sell them in 0.0.

• Concussion
• Electron
• Shrapnel
• Scorch
  
  

Probes - I usually import only sisters (faction) probes both core for finding complexes and combat for finding ships. They aren't that expensive and don't require any extra skills to use.

Cap Booster Charges - Under this section I may import 150, 400, and 800 charges of regular or navy variety. Not high use but are very important for some ship fits to have.

Nanite Repair Paste - This item gets regularly bought up in small batches so 3,000-5,000 units last for a while.

Scripts - Another quite popular item to buy in 0.0. I sell all 8 varieties of scripts except for focused warp disruptor script for hics (very low use). If you have limited trade slots then import only Scan Resolution, Targeting Range, Targeting Range Dampening scripts as these see the highest use.

Drones

Drones Warrior II have highest consumption rate in 0.0 followed by Hammerhead II's, Valkyrie II's, and Hobgoblins. Ogres II's and kinetic drones (Vespas and Hornets) enjoy moderate to low consumption. Other types of drones that get often used in pvp are Hornet ECs and Vespa ECs as well as sentry drones. Light armor maintenance bots have some use as well. I also sell some thermal T1 drones for those players who cannot yet use T2 or who prefer to assemble a cheap throw-away fit. Among sentry drones I sell gardes (highest damage) and bouncers (more range, explosive damage). Sentry drones are good for Dominix, Ishtar, and Carrier pilots.

• Warrior II
• Hammerhead II
• Valkyrie II
• Hobgoblin II
• Ogre II
• Garde I and Garde II
• Bouncer II
• Hornet EC-300 and Vespa EC-600
• Light maintenance bot
  
  

Drone Upgrades: Drone Link Augmentor and Omnidirectional Link enjoy some consumption, Drone Navigational Computer is a bit less useful but also sells.

Implants

Learning implants: + 3 implants sell pretty well in 0.0. +2 and +4 implants have lower sell rates but can also be imported. The ocular implant (one that gives bonus to perception) usually gets bought up slightly faster than other other ones. Social implants get bought at may be half the rate of other implants.

Harwirings: These are low-use items but generally nice to have on general market. I typically purchase implants that give +1% powergrid, +1% cpu, and ones that decrease cpu use by turrets.

• squire PG2 - 1% bonus to powergrid
• gypsy KMB-25 - 1% bonus to ship's cpu
  
  

Modules

Electronic Warfare: Warp disruptors, stasis webifiers, and warp scramblers are very high consumption modules because they get used on practically every pvp ship. I try typically supply cheap named and T2 versions of tackling equipment. Named tackling gear uses less cpu (which is important on small ships like inties), consumes less capacitor, and requires less skill to use. It also gets bought by PVPU class students taking a break in station. Other electronic warfare modules (damps, tracks, ecm) have low sell volumes. ECCM and back-up arrays are very low volume item so I don't sell it - most popular are amarr eccm units for guardians and amarr bs.

• Warp Diruptor II
• Warp Scrambler II
• J5 Prototype Warp disruptor - cheap warp disruptor, uses less CPU and en per cycle than T2 disruptor
• J5b Prototype Scrambler - j5b scram is much cheaper than T2 scram and uses less CPU, it is only 400m shorter in optimal range
• X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator - meta 3 stasis webifier, the meta 4 one is kind of expensive so this is a popular affordable substitute
• 'Hypnos' Multispectral ECM I - meta 4 mutispec
• 'Umbra' I White Noise ECM - meta 4 amarr jammer
• BZ-5 Neutralizing Spatial Destabilizer ECM - meta 4 caldari jammer
• Enfeebling Phase Inversion ECM I - meta 4 minmatar jammer
• 'Hypnos' Ion Field ECM I - meta 4 gallente jammer
• 'Hypnos' Signal Distortion Amplifier I - meta 4 ECM enhancing module
• DDO Photometry Tracking Disruptor I - mete 3 tracking disruptor, the meta 4 balmer disruptor costs quite a bit (3-4 mil a piece) so DDO is an affordable substitute
• Parallel Weapon Navigation Transmitter - meta 3 target painter, useful for stealth bombers as well as for battleships, meta 4 can go for 3-4 mil so this is a cheaper substitute
• Low Frequency Sensor Suppressor I - meta 3 sensor dampener, useful for stealth bombers

You can choose to sell T2 versions of tracking disruptors, target painters, and sensor dampeners if you have enough open buy/sell orders. The meta versions should take precedence though because they require less skill and less fitting requirements to use, and thus are of more wide use. T2 ecm is useless to sell because meta 4 versions are cheap enough and give better performance than T2.

Electronics and Sensor Upgrades: Sensor booster are highest consumption items out of this category. I make sure to sell T2 and well as named versions of these. Cloaking devices, co-processors, tractor beams, signal amplifiers all enjoy low to moderate consuption. Auto-targets, ship scanners, and passive targets are very situational modules so I don't sell these.

• Sensor Booster II
• Co-Processor II
• Alumel-Wired I Sensor Augmentation - meta 3 sensor booster, cheaper lower CPU substitute for T2 sebo
• Prototype Cloaking Device I - cheap cloak, if there are ships selling in the same station, selling cheap cloaks improves confidence of pilots that they can buy a ship and get away with it
• Covert Ops Cloaking Device II - not very high use if there aren't any covops, stealth bomers, or recons selling in station
• Type-D Attenuation Signal Augmentation - meta 4 signal amplifier, low slot modules that improves locking time and range
• Small Tractor Beam I - very useful module for carebearing purposes
