Wow. So what's responsible for this market crash of min prices?
Some people say it's because Ice mining got changed to a non-AFK activity, since the more popular belts despawn pretty quickly, so the automatons that were formerly AFK ice mining for long hours each day moved to the asteroid belts instead.
Or because kids are outta school for the summer and spending all their free time mining.
or something. Prices fluctuate, that's all I know. |

I've been trying to find, in vain, a good resource on PI ever since I came back. I was told in a C5 I could "easily" pull 1bil/month per char. That's 3 bil of passive income per account if all 3 do PI. That's really good passive income, but I've not yet verified the validity of this claim.
Something else I must try is invention. I have 1mil+ gallantean ship datacores in RP stored, and 400k mechanical cores. I wanted to try my hand at Anshar inventing, but this **** is cray cray! To make it really profitable I'd have to buy MULTIPLE Obelisk BPO, which take a full month to make a BPC out of (with implant and at an advanced lab), and then there's POS fuel on top of it all. Is there significant profit to be made in invention? [/quote]
The amount of profit you can get from PI is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend fiddling with extractors and moving products between plants. I hate how people claim you can get a billion ISK per month for passive PI... if you are making 1 billion per month, you are spending hours per day doing it, and are probably considering suicide half of that time.
Invention of modules, ammo and drones are profitable and require little startup capital.
Invention of ships require lots of startup money, lots of time to copy, and you have tons of competition from people who are also attracted to the idea of building their own ships. It's not hard to find pretty much any ship you want on the market for below build costs, especially all of the ones which were rebalanced recently. You can probably sell certain combat ships for a profit around FW hubs, but anywhere else I would start small and don't overproduce anything because you may be sitting on it a long time.
