I bought an alt account, mainly for mining for materials etc, I'm also training it up for R&D. Obviously using NPC slots are huge - and for research you're looking at months, I have been doing PI for a while now on both my accounts to get fuel.
Basically I want a POS just to use with BPO's and BPC's, copying, inventing etc. People tell me to join another corp but I'm worried about having my things stolen, I will of course rent out slots in my POS with friends etc.
What's the best way to go about this? I've read so many different posts it's confusing, this is going to be a high sec POS, like 0.6 - 0.9 - I'm grinding to get my chars standings up with Gallente right now, almost at 5.0 atm.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can either..
Hit 5.0 standing yourself, form a new corp, and wait 7 downtimes for your standings to take effect.. then launch tower etc. Don't invite new members until it's up.
Or.
Buy a pre-made corp with standings for 75-100m isk. You can find those on the sell orders forum and skip out on the standings. |

If the alt has enough standing, you can anchor your own towers anytime.
Otherwise easiest way is to buy a pre-made corp. No muss. No fuss. And you have 7 downtimes to place towers once you join. Search the Sell Orders forum for people offering standings and corp [SERVICE]. They will often provide a custom corp name/ticker/logo too, but that takes a week.
Another variation is to hire someone to raise your corp. Also takes a week. Everyone with standing has to go, so transferring the corp to an alt is often required.
Otherwise you have to grind standing.

Buying a pre-made corp sounds like the thing for me to do, thank you for your input.

you can always look up one stop research if you don't want to deal with setting up your own pos keeping it fueled etc etc.
look up character ladyofwrath(not sure of proper spelling)
There is another option for you.

When I decided to set up my hi sec POS I had to grind reputation fo about 1 month to hit 5+ (do 16 missions, do the storyline, rinse and repeat). Painful!
Then with my PvP alt I found that faction warfare missions raise your militia title, and faction reputation with it. My PvP alt got to 7+ Minmatar standing in 1 week of militia missions.
So my suggestion is: enlist in the militia (Minmatar possibly, all other militias smell bad), do missions for 1 week (not real PvP in most cases), leave militia and enjoy your +7 standing.

You say you're going to be copying and inventing.
If you're going to do any serious T2 manufacturing you might want to consider doing part of it at the POS instead of a in-system factory station (read: your office). POS modules generally build stuff faster and you don't have the problem of waiting for slots to free up. If you can build your own T2 components then getting a component array quickly starts saving you ISK. Stay away from the rapid equipment manufacturing array and T2 shipbuilding arrays though due to materials penalty. T2 shipbuilding is the exception to all of this, it's quicker and less expensive in materials to do that in a station.
A medium POS is big enough for a decent manufacturing operation. A Caldari medium tower (for example) will fit 2 labs, 2 advanced labs, 2 equipment manufacturing arrays, 4 ammo arrays and a component array with capacity left over for a hangar array. 2-4 toons can keep all this running without either having arrays sitting idle too long or too much micromanagement.
The downside to this is the higher running costs of the medium POS compared to a small one but if you keep the operation running most of the time then it'll still turn a nice profit.
Some tips for ammo/module invention:
- Keep your invention batch size large. Batches of 80-200 BPCs IMO work well.
- Plan ahead and pipeline if possible. While building job A have components building for job B, invent for job C, have copy jobs running for job D and be on the lookout for what to build as job E.
- Keep a job spreadsheet with one tab per job, breaking down costs (including datacores etc) and income per finished item. Datamodel to see if a proposed item will turn a profit.
- Don't plan on selling through sell orders.
Note: The above assumes you have a freighter available because you will occasionally need it.
And yes, grinding for standing is a stone ***** but handy to have.
Hope this helps.
