Hi,
As im spending a fortune on AND doing 5 jumps to buy Heavy missiles, i was wondering
how much hassle it is to make my own.
What do i need to manufacture them to the point of being self sufficient.
Im particularly confused about what station facilities i need to rent (cost?) how
long does it take to make a batch? what skills do i need to use BPOs/BPCs??
Is there a manufacturing guide somewhere?
Thanks.

It's not that difficult to make your own missiles. However, wether it's worth it or not depends entirely on you and your habits.
If you regularly jet all over hell and creation, it may not be worth your time. If you are only going a few jumps out to some hunting grounds you have, then it might be.
The steps involved are basically as such.
1) Buy BPO - don't waste time with a BPC as ammo you'll probably make a large amount. 1500 runs just isn't enough for most ammo.
2) Check the requirements on what it takes to make the ammo. They are all different. Right click the BP and click "show info". This will give you an idea of the mineral requirements.
3) Make sure you have at least industry 1 and mass production 1 skills as these will allow you to build at factory slots. Also the production efficiency skill helps but isn't totally necessary.
4) Once you have the necessary material and skills, you need to go to a station with a factory slots, pile your minerals there, rent a factory slot, and clicking the factory slot install the ammo BPO you wish to make. It's fairly straightforward but does take some time. Expect about 12-13 hours for 50K rounds of any kind of ammo.
That being said, if you aren't a miner AND producer, it can sometimes get more cumbersome to make your ammo, since you'll have to purchase the raw materials.
Just in case you don't want to go to all this hassle, let me know. I regularly produce many types of ammo, and my prices are quite reasonable. I'd be happy to make what you need and put it in escrow in a safe system if I have the BPO and you're interested.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, really usefull stuff to know as I havnt even .arnt its fair to say im clueless.
Read alot about the lack of lab slots.. so is there a prob with Factory slots too, how much do they cost? Are some station factories more efficient/faster than others or is it governed purely by skill levels.
thx.
mmkay thx

There is less trouble with factory slots for all I know.
To stash minerals you can allways reprocess loot that you dont use and cant sell. This way I reproduce missiles from rats to kill rats to get loot to make more missiles if you catch my drift.
I usually make 10k per missile and when I am almost at 2000 I make 10k more per missile.

you only need industry one , tho build with that skill only
will make the missile cost about 25% more.
to build 50k heavy missiles should take 3-4 hours.
you'll need minerals up to nox i think , cant remember
if any heavy missile require zyd in it. recycle some
loot and you should be sorted with the mineral costs.
