ok ... I readed everything there was , apart this synergy one seems its new . Starting now , great read again , and as i said its very simple .

Tho i have like soooooo many questions now to be honest :| I was doing missions and trading (atleast here im pretty good) lol and only now i understand how much i was missing :D

Researching ... i can do this with alts right ? it doesnt need to be my main , i can get the bpo's somewhere safe in low sec , then get an alt there , research the hell out of them = profits ? seems kinda simple and easy using 2 skilles character for such ehm a big deal , or i am missing something ?

Another week gone, another update done: How to get your Blueprints

Two things you may want to add. There is an ingame chat channel for blueprints that occasionnally has good deals on blueprints or where you can ask if anyone is selling a particular researched bpo or bpc. Also the website games.chruker.dk/eve_online has a lot of resources and for blueprints you can look up any blueprint and it will tell you the optimal amount for ME and how long it would take to research it.

Thanks. I know that a lot of what i write is fairly basic stuff, but one of my goals is filtering the basics out and making new guys aware of them instead of swamping them with every detail. Yes, i'll absolutely continue updating. I am aiming for more than one update per week, but sometimes RL gets in the way. Other times, i update twice on a weekend *shrug*

My biggest concern at the moment is location selection - and the lack of standings with 'my' trade hub owner...

Everyone can manufacture things and sell them. Many do and some of them even turn over a profit while doing that. To increase our profit margin, we either need to sell our stuff for more ISK or we can just make sure that we only spend on minerals what we absolutely have to. There are many ways to get minerals and depending on which one we use, our investment of ISK might just change considerably. And with it, our profit margin. Likely, we are going to use a wild mixture of several of the available ways to fill our ressource hangar. LetGÇÖs look at the options we have.

SoGǪ Mining! ItGÇÖs certainly a topic that divides the masses. Today i am going to take a closer look at this profession. After a quick recap of what i said about mining in my overview over the three (dot five) synergy paths, i am going to talk about what kind of player might be attracted to the life of a mining manufacturer, both good and bad. Also, i will go over the relevant skills and how much time we should sink into them. What i wonGÇÖt do is go much into the details of the actual mining activity. I am not a miner myself and there are plenty of mining guides around.

I just wanted to say I appreciate what you are putting together. Myself and a few other folks have just started playing and I found the information you provide very useful! Since I am looking for any info regarding POS's I am looking forward to your "uses of POS's" section you have. Thanks again!

EVE Online got a lot of fan nicknames over itGÇÖs years. GÇ£Internet SpaceshipsGÇ¥ and GÇ£EVE: A Terrible GameGÇ¥ are two of the more popular. However, the one thatGÇÖs referring to the kind of things that manufacturers and traders do in the game is GÇ£Spreadsheets in SpaceGÇ¥. And for good reason: the market dynamics and the dependancies between various products are complex enough that a serious market player canGÇÖt live without some out-of-game resource trying to present the information in a filtered and sorted manner. There are a variety of third-party programs out there, developed by other players. Those are excellent for the players who are just dabbling into industry or doing it on an alt, they can get the most important information delivered to them without having to care about the inner workings. If thatGÇÖs enough for you, go ahead and download ISKperhour or any other program of its kind and be done with it. For anyone who actively wants to understand whatGÇÖs going on, there isnGÇÖt an alternative to making your own Excel spreadsheet though. HereGÇÖs a rundown on what i added to my own spreadsheet, why i did it and what numbers are important. Part 2 will deal with the actual spreadsheet, how i built it and i will probably give you a template to work with for those of you who donGÇÖt know their way around Excel that well.

In my last update to my Industry Guide, i went over the things that i view as essential parts of a spreadsheet that is meant to help with evaluating the profitability of potential things to produce. Sadly, i lacked the time to discuss my own spreadsheet. What i got for you today is a cleaned up copy of what i use, some explainations of whatGÇÖs going on there and some more words on why i did what i did GÇô and more importantly, why i didnGÇÖt do more.

This is only interesting to those of you who even want to customize something for their own preferences. Most industrial characters that only want to generate some passive income for their main will be better off just going by available third party programs like ISK/hour and DedafGÇÖs Industrial Tools. Compared to what they offer, my solution is laughably low-tech. However, going through the motions yourself will help you not only finding an answer to the GÇ£What?GÇ¥, but also to the GÇ£Why?GÇ¥

LetGÇÖs dive in.
