Yeah, I was working more with a corner case that better reflected my current situation where I found a system with cheap minerals, so I can buy and produce products then haul from that system to Jita, which is 30-ish jumps +-5 depending on route. While the minerals themselves can give me quite a bit of profit, the distance means I want to pack as much value as possible.
Unfortunately for me, Jita charges me 16k isk/hour for manufacturing, so I need to stick with my current faction that only charges 333 isk/hour.
Your situation is probably more common, where you're much closer to your consumer. Your argument works perfectly for the average case, I was just trying to show a not-so-average case, like my current case 
edit: " yep, I misinterpreted the "extra money"" I don't blame ya, there's a lot of crazies out there, not to mention I'm horrible at properly conveying my thoughts through type. Some times I come back and re-read what I posted and think.. "WTF?" |

Pretty much this. Although, I mine sometimes and use the minerals for my production but buy orders is where I get my minerals.

Agreed. You will probably have more fun setting up buy orders for the minerals you need then mining them yourself (and if you're getting into manufacturing ships, mining the amount of Trit you'll need will very quickly become impossible/tedious alone). If you REALLY REALLY like mining, then, by all means, follow the philosophy of mining minerals for yourself, but remember that you can be making isk other ways that are far more entertaining and then just buy the minerals. It comes down to how much you think your time is worth.
But ME 5 is a great start! Welcome to the manufacturing world. |
