Hey everyone,
I'm planning on running a shop that follows WTM around and carries all the stuff that we need a lot of at incursions. Not necessarily modules (sorry, not going to carry large stocks of deadspace modules across space every few days - that's asking for trouble and I don't have the money to stock them ahead of time), but most types of ammo, drones, nanite repair paste, etc. This is all being shipped across super safe routes in an insanely safe ship that's basically impossible to turn a profit on suicide ganking (unless I was to happen to carry around 20b worth of cargo - I'm not planning on ever carrying even a fraction of that, though), so I should be perfectly safe.
I was looking for input on what the stock should be - I don't have the money to go super overboard ahead of time, but I wanted to make sure I had enough of what people would need to buy at incursions. Here's a list of the current stock I was aiming to have at the start of the average incursion (and what I currently have purchased and ready to go):

If anyone has suggestions for commonly used items that I haven't stocked, please let me know!
Since I'll have to be making restocking runs regularly, I imagine, I'll also be taking personal orders for anyone who wants me to pick them up stuff so they don't have to run back to trade hubs and can just follow WTM from Incursion to Incursion, as long as they don't consist of what I consider to be unsafe cargo (in other words, nothing that would put me close to where suicide ganking me becomes profitable).
I'm planning on keeping markup to a minimum, because I don't really care that much if I profit a ton from this. I've already spent a few billion in investments to set up my alt toon to fly it and buy the stock, I doubt I'm getting those costs back ever. However, I do want it to at least be enough where it's worthwhile to keep moving the cargo around as often as incursions change.
For members of my corp (which is literally nobody, as of now, because I've never tried to recruit anyone), there is no markup and your items will be the same price as current Jita costs. Personal orders are also free for corp members.
