However, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant] had been the highest volume trade hub in both the Solitude and Syndicate Regions going on several years. While [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Octanneve Octanneve] is situated centrally for the inhabitants of Solitude's High-Sec Isle, [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Boystin Boystin] is situated one jump from Low-Sec and two jumps from NPC Null space in Syndicate, making it more centrally located for inhabitants of both regions. This difference translated into sales volume causing [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Octanneve_III_-_Moon_1_-_Federation_Customs_Logistic_Support Octanneve] to flounder as a trade hub while [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin] consistently maintained market dominance. | ||
In order to help achieve the goal of a centralized trading hub, it is advised to use [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6] for your trading activities. | |||
