Also if you think 5% is nothing then you shouldnt invest 60 bill in teh upgrades. My usual turn over is between 500 and 700 billion ISK. Saving 5% on that means i save 25 billion ISK every month. So that station pays for itself in 2 months. Not bad. Considering I am not alone that station will pay for itself alot faster then 2 months. So pretty much the same time as your minmatar station. Guess we are good then
It wont because the more you use it and everyone else the higher your installation cost.. so its actually counter-productive. 5 upgrades for a mare 5% is still really really bad.
I consume about a billion ISK of materials per day on one of my characters doing manufacturing. I don't know if this is high or low, so let's use a conservative figure saying that an industrialist consumes 50M ISK worth of stuff per slot per day.
A 500k ISK (1% savings on 50M ISK) per slot per day savings doesn't sound like much, but that's about 10000 slot-days for 25B ISK. One character pays that off in about 3 years, which isn't great. 10 characters, though, running full-tilt, would pay it off in about 3 months... and if they're instead consuming materials more like the way I do, it ends up being closer to paying off in a month and a half for 10 characters.
Admittedly, you'll lose some of this in transportation, but you won't lose more in transportation by upgrading, if you were already planning to build at that station. (In fact, due to input volume decreasing, you may save a little on transportation, depending on whether your inbound transport is already saturated.) This transportation issue is probably going to make Minmatar stations the station of choice for manufacturing capitals, but for things that don't use T1 minerals? That Minmatar station bonus doesn't do anything at all for T2 mods, rigs, or deployables, which are mostly built out of moongoo products, salvage, and PI stuff. |
