Hi, I know it's early but if prices of parts bpos and ships will stay as they are I won't be able to afford all the construction component bpos and a ship bpo. According to the info I've got the total package would be about 18 billion ISk.
Therefore I was wondering if anyone would be interested to team up to build these large ships. This could be rather informal, I just want to make sure that not everyone is building the same bits and none of the others are being built.
At the moment I'm based in the Nourvukaiken system but with the map changes I might have to relocate a bit.

MSSI would be interested to join your venture, as we were planning on getting into the field of Capital ship production as well (primary Amarrian, to begin with).
We are currently based in Zanka, a small pocket within the Domain Region not very far away from Amarr.
Contact me ingame via EVE-Mail or channel MSSI

Well I'm very interested in a joint venture on Capitol ship production and we are ready to start off with BPOs, both will probably be components to start with or one component and one freighter. The two components we would look at are two used in freighters.
So maybe do an official post to look for partners in a joint venture.
I might pop in to your channel or you can EVE-mail me.

I am also looking for component builders so far i already have a gallante freighter BPO and a cargo bay component BPO if you would like to merge on this please contact me in game.
Due to research and building times i plan to start builing my components in about a week or so and a week or two after that i will start building the freighters.

Hi! We will buy a capital constructions parts bpo. Would be great if we can coordinate a nice production tree 
Eve-mail plz to: AlvynNevins

Well the BPO's that are in mind here are the Capital Armor plate, Capital Construction Parts and/or the Minnie Freighter. I will let you know what is decided for the isk we have as soon as I hear from my team.
Oh and the most important part, we got very dedicated miners :)
Morning, you feel like calling shotgun on the propulsion construction part BPO maybe? Something else? =)
Someone need to call shotgun on the dreads and the other freighters aswell.

Yes
If anyone is interested i will start with doing freighter BYOC deals for those who work with us because the components and large amounts of minerals will be hard to haul other wise.
basically these will be aimed at anyone who usually has to spend alot of time hauling any thing such as
outpost builders
ship builders
Moon mining industry
Miners from 0.0 - one trip is alot easier than ten when you have 30 jumps to go
Traders - who buy large quantities of trade goods in one region and sell them in another etc.
Agent runners - Yes it will be alot easy to do those lvl 4 hauling missions with a freighter.
This is alot of potential and considering the BPC copy time is weeks the building will be done by those with bpo's. Anyone who usually hauls has a lvl 5 industrial skill already so its going to be quick to train skills.
just some info for you guys

Resources Unlimited, Inc. would like to participate in this project (specifically the freighters) as well.
Does anyone have the build requirements for the Freighters and/or components required (at least until t20 updates the item database).
Who is coordinating this? If nobody has stepped up, I can start coordinating this once I have the build requirements for the various items.
We will need multiple suppliers of each of the parts to ensure that supply can meet the demands of the actual builders.
I suggest we establish a price structure for the components as soon as the component build requirements are known, and the builders buy the parts from the suppliers at those prices. If we can maintain strict pricing controls, we can eliminate undercutting and the eventual shutdown of the mini-economy we are trying to establish here. We could even institute some sort of profit sharing plan for the component suppliers so that there is additional incentive above and beyond the component prices, if the price of the ships sold exceeds the percentage markup that we set for the component builders.

I and a couple partners are also looking into a cooperative agreements with others.
Perhaps a dedicated channel would serve us best. How about a channel named "Freighters". Granted this isn't limited to freighters, but the channel name is descriptive and easy to rememeber.

Just curious, does anyone know if there are Capital BPO's that produce items used in both both dreds and freighter construction?
Reason I ask is fairly obvious. Our region is sparesly populated, so I want to maximize our ability to sell capital components if we get into this game. Also, wanted to see if there were some particular component need we may have access to that others do not.
Also, it would be good to know, if possible what types of minerals are used in each of the builds. Specific would be great, but general would work. I.E. the propulsion unit takes a lot of zydrine, the cargo trit, etc. This way we can maximize our productive output with the minerals we have available to us.
Does anyone have this information available?

I think the propulsion units are your best bet for that.

Ok, sounds like the BPO to aim for could be the propulsion system.
Second question, how much of each type of base mineral is it going to take to produce one of these puppies?

At the moment we are all waiting for t20 updating the item database 
But maybe there is someone out there who owns all 14 component bpos  |

From everything I have read, you guys will want to combine your efforts into one station, as the components are all way to freakin' big to move around by yourselves anyway Good luck with that, I hope you guys succeed, as those of us that can't be arsed to handle the logistics of it all will want to come to you to get our ships

I think the nature of the business is going to mimic the real world where components are produced by subcontractors, but ultimately transported to one contractor (or more) who plans on building and selling the ships in various regions.
As far as transport, I'll be letting Oron with Deep Space Services handle that. But rest assured that the end user will be the one paying the shipping fees, and nothing is leaving the shipping docks of the factory until it's paid for F.O.B.

Capital Armor Plates under construction. Evemail me if interested in a supply deal.
Also wouldn't it be better to name the channel #Capitals ?

pop into channel "Freighters" for the moment we had 4 people in there tonight discussing possabilities and you will eventually find component buyers in there too so it will pay to stay and keep a look out.

I can inform you all that Joint Espionage and Defence Industries [JEDI] now officially is a part of this joint venture and have now procured the Capital Propulsion Engine BPO.
The joint venture also have the Capital Armor Plate BPO now and what is needed are partners getting Freighter BPOs plus the two remaining parts (The capital cargo component and the capital construction blocks).
Details regarding manufacturing has not been decided, but it will be a nice spot for sure.

The Freighter uses very small amount of components compared to the Dreads (but the Freighter do require lots more of the few ones), but all that are used by Freighter are used in Dreads. |

My curiosity is piquedà
I want a freighter (the Gallente Obelisk to be specific) and am in the process of ôliquidating some of my assetsö (i.e. selling all my old shià errrà stuff, yeah ôstuffö) in order to purchase one.
Now I have poked into the building of Freighters a bit, and their construction seems to be an impressively arduous task since you almost need a freighter to bring all the parts together to build a freighter o.0 0.o which came first? The freighter or the ability to bring the parts together to build the freighter? Hmmmà
Nowà if all those people with the different parts to glue together into a freighter work out of the same station, then itÆs little more than trading the parts over and setting the oven to bakeà but then comes the problem of the materials, and 90+ million of trit alone is one heck of a lot of mineral to gather together, much less move anywhereà and then the ôpartsö are in and of themselves VERY large as wellà
At a staggering 10,000m3 for each component (at least thatÆs what show info says), itÆs a bit more convenient than the equivalent 1,000,000 units of mineral that would otherwise be, but itÆs still darn slow hauling when even an tip top industrial/transport with great expanders is only going to move 2 of any given ôpartö at a time and freighters need a lot of them, and dreads need a LOT more than even freighters.
I donÆt mind how the freighters need to be constructed, and even think itÆs a neat new layer on the building system, but the parts should at least be practical to move so that current technology can actually go toward making new technologyà maybe just 1,000m3 would be more reasonable, after all you still need something in the area of dozens of the miscellaneous parts right? So thatÆs still multiple hauls but at least more possible than 10,000m3 each.
I will be one of the few to admit that I feel the price of freighters is on the high side, but I understand the reasoning behind the high price and am willing to foot the cost. However, what I am curious about is that we need to have a bit more practical way of bringing the pieces together to make one donÆt we?
Since the minerals arenÆt getting any smaller, and the parts are huge, is there some sort of happy medium we may be able to reach so that co-operative efforts like the one in this thread can benefit from so that they can at least move their parts a bit more easily so that their central location can actually produce the ships they intend to without practically having to have freighters already in order to move the parts necessary to make freightersà
Also, as a side note, if you fine people planning to pool your efforts to make Freighters can be so kind, is there any word if even BPCÆs for the parts/ships is in the cards? IÆve heard they have an unusually long copy time, but curious as to how long?
Outside of the BPC situation, is there any idea of possible cost at retail for a possible ôfirst customerö on the final product?

The easiest way of manufacturing the Freighther in the beginning is to centralize the manufacturing to one system, the 10k m3 size of the Capital construction components might seem a big HUGE but then again, the ships are also a bit.. overly large.. so to say. *smiles*
BPCs are normally a good way for producers to semi-ruin their own market, and the time to copy the BPOs are very long. It takes weeks to get a singel run copy for the Freighter. However in the future there might be so that the producers will make BPCs of the components, manufactur them at a spot where they want to sell the freighter and then ship around the freighter BPO, risky but can easily be done safely.
Prices on Freighters will end up around 1 bil isk. The calculations aren't done yet, as aren't all partners in the joint venture. I'm sure a press release will be made as soon as the joint venture is up and running.
Now you might want to join but you don't feel you have the isk. Maybe you then can try and gang up with others and together buy a BPO or similar arrangements can be sorted.
More information will come as the situation develops. ;)

Given the New World Order, it would seem to make sense to divide our efforts into the 4 major political regions, would it not? I reside in Amarr Empire space, specifically Domain region, and wouldn't mind coordinating in that political division. Who else is in this area, and what parts do you make/plan to make? I am specifically hoping for a Gallente Freighter production facility at first, since that will be the biggest market, I feel.

Chaleris - I suggest you pop into the channel s73v3n2k mentioned earlier and say hi there. Something that is needed is someone that go in with a Freghter BPO.
Glad news on the Construction parts!! :D

Nice chatting with everyone yesterday in the channel 'Freighters'.
Will those of you who have purchased BPOs for either the ships or components post research and manufacturing times. That information isn't listed in the item database.
Thanks!
