I personaly would not invest in an LA. With new planets opening up pretty soon, the first thing everyone will want to do is visit them. Meaning substantialy lower income as less people hunting on them.

Sure, eventually it will level up and the player base will increase, but at the same time, it is possible the new planet owners will have LA's to sell themselves (to re-coup some of their investment) - a flood of new LA's and lower income levels (even temporary one) could actually drive the price of them down... for this reason I think dangerous to invest in an LA right now - suggest waiting until you know whats going to happen.

The only area I can see increasing is hangers - new planets means more demand for them. I couldnt be arse with the flying part - its peanuts in terms of cash and lots of you time. but buying them as an investment and selling them on in a years time could make you a decent return. You could also rent them out while you wait for prices to increase, bringing you in a modest income.

Good luck, no matter what you decide to do

Nice wish list im sure your building up, to add on to the chaos.

Buy 100k on evade - if hunting primarily
and/or 100k on engineering - if crafting

buy a couple shops @ PA or TP mall, maybe even @ CND

buy a good fap, adjusted, fap-110 etc - maybe chip up lots of skills in FA too

buy medium armor - angel if you like the color white, shadow if you like black

buy a rifle/pistol thats worth over 50k peds then buy best UL amp available

oh and buy TOP-OF-THE-LINE PC so you can enjoy crysis engine

after some skimming through the thread and realised that it looks like you can handle to hold on to your peds for some time

I'm just gonna ad what I would do If I had the cash:

Buy an unlimited SIB weapon that suits your main profession rifle/pistol/lb/etc.
and a suitable amp would be good. maybe also armor if you need it.

Then go play with that and enjoy the universe while you figure out what to do with the bigger amounts of your peds!

I agree with the LAs Pinky, but I really don't think that hangars will increase that much because of the new planets. Mainly because MA said that wouldnt be the only way to get there

Simply complicated

MA have announced new planets, right?

Well, invest in a hangar. It's simple. People will be wanting to go to the new planets, and the amount of flyers isn't enough, so, in principle, demand goes up = prices go up. That way, you'll be giving flights for a larger sum, and will return the amount you put in MUCH faster than it is now. And also, if you sell your hangar, I highly doubt you will lose the amount you paid. I think that the prices of hangars will rise, ALOT.

Up to you, but just had this on my noob-ish mind quite some time, since the new planets have been announced. I can't really afford one, so might as well lend my idea's to those who can benefit

Best of luck! And enjoy, whatever you choose to do!

EDIT: Beaten again :P Yeh, what Pinky said :P

Well that kind of cash , it could pay you to invest the cash in a RL bank for a fixed term deposit , then deposit the interest you earn from it to eu , then it doesnt matter what you spend your deposited peds on , and in the end , or if you want to cash out of eu you still have access to your money in RL , you dont just lose your money and even if you did invest in eu , there is still the various bank charges and ma charges for withdrawing your ped .
im not sure what the interest rates are for fixed term or short term deposits are in your country , but in Australia they are close to 6% pa calculated monthly. that adds up to quiet a few ped for free if you take my meaning .

I dont think that it will rise as much as you predict.

Actually, it might, but MA also stated that Hangars perhaps wont be used AT ALL for getting to the new planets!

So I would say that it is a very risky thing to invest in unless you sell it just a few days before the new planets lol
