I would also keep the door open to new supply from other players by casting out buy orders to buy raw ores. Of course, the hook has to have some bait on it. Don’t be cheap, but every ore you get from someone else is more of a slot you saved yourself to make more fittings and possibly a group mate to play with fleeting, pvping, or another body in the pb. If they realize the entire game is alive and stick around to do all the rest of the game.
