Also, I have not looked into having four planets producing P2 to P3 and then a final planet taking the P3 to convert into P4 - certainly worth looking into.<br /><br />So far, i am finding that the profits of P2 to P3 are more certain than the profits of P3 to P4 which are quite volatile.<br /><br />I part, i suspect that is because of the volume of P3 required and manufacturers of P4 are willing to stock up on P3 items.<br />Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-11481270431943752992015-01-29T00:50:02.322+00:002015-01-29T00:50:02.322+00:00Why not P2 to P4 factories ?Why not P2 to P4 factories ?Manserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169043050506377877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-75247750400853475962015-01-24T11:22:30.855+00:002015-01-24T11:22:30.855+00:00yep - doing something with a POCO is on the "...yep - doing something with a POCO is on the "to do" list.

I spent a while making P2/P3 in high sec by buying P1 stuff on the market, the amount of ISK I made from this was pretty big. <br /><br />You could even try grabbing a few POCO's (buy them/kill them) in your hi-sec system in order to pay a lower tax rate and get a passive income from other people's taxes too.<br /><br />The one POCO I had (sold it now that I no longer do PI in high sec) paid for itself after 2 months or so. Sold it for too good a price to say no to it though.

Secondly, ISK to actually build the Command Centers, Processing Planets and Launch Pads (which is quite small). Thirdly the ISK to buy the items from the market + import / export tax.<br /><br />For the third point, the costs in December were 2.3bn ISK leading to sales of 3.0bn and therefore profits of 681m ISK. The costs in January so far are 3.4bn ISK leading to sales of 4.0bn ISK and therefore profits of 552m ISK. Decent profit margins in December of 22.8% and ok in January of 13.9%. December was mainly P3 to P4 manufacturing, January has been P2 to P3, hence, i suspect the lower margin.<br /><br />So, yes, to make decent ISK you need a good amount around to invest with if you go down the Factory Planet route.<br /><br />Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-15399473126571276622015-01-18T04:22:34.940+00:002015-01-18T04:22:34.940+00:00What investment did it take in ISK to earn that? ...What investment did it take in ISK to earn that? One thing I found with buying materials from the market and using factory planets was the rather large "startup" cost compared to resource extraction PI. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
