Hello there fellows, I just had a few questions if I could borrow a bit of your time for awhile. You see, after taking a long (read; 9 month) hiatus from Eve, I am back, and CCP has changed around quite a few things. Obviously, with the PI system, they have changed it to be somewhat more or less difficult to turn a profit. Player owned customs office and the like, such things as fuel blocks now... how can I turn a profit?
Right now, I run five planets; one "factory" planet filled up with factories so that I can process and turn the material into something better, and four resource harvesting planets that funnel directly into the factory planet. I also have an additional alt that focuses primarily on getting resources and then contracting them to my main account so that I can continue the chain.
I am primarily producing tier 2 and tier 4 material, and I am wondering if I should shell out for a fuel block blueprint and start trying to create fuel blocks to sell, continue this chain and go all the way up to tier 5 material and sell it, or just sell what I have right now.
Thank you ahead of time for your advice and assistance. |

I just started getting into PI. I was a bit worried when i saw the forum postings about the tax increases and all, but planning it out it can still be quite profitable. I have all but one planet in hi-sec and I am focusing on advanced commodities. I haven't gone beyond that yet. The important part I found was figuring out the minimal movement of materials to avoid import/export taxes. Producing fuel is next on the list to figure out.
My current concern is moving out into low-sec planets and the hassle of customs offices being destroyed. Forking out 100M for a customs office to see it blown to bitty bits is too much risk for the limited reward. I have found quite a few low sec systems where no one has bothered to destroy the inter-bus customs offices. I am surprised the pirate greifer crowd haven't gone around destroying all of these yet. Posted with an alt, I learned the hard way not to post with my main. |

The Fuel blocks aren't particularly profitable over the cost of the materials that go into them. They were for a month or two after they were introduced, but right now your margins would be super tight. Maybe with perfect skills and a heavily researched BPO? |

note that at ME40, you have a perfect BPO (it takes ... like 3 days).
