It all depends on ship type really. As a bow mention 9-10 is the most efficient lvl, but I would never go higher than PE/ME2 for capitals. Frig's I wouldnĘt mind researching to 100 because it doesnĘt take too long to research. But generally if you go to 10 then its all good. ------- Ore & Ice Mining T1 & Capital & Rig Production POS Fueling and Reaction Minerals to Ore calculator |

Edited by: Aluka 7th on 17/09/2008 07:07:41 M.E. 10 for frig,destroyers M.E. 20 for Cruiser,Battlecruiser M.E. 25 for Battleship
P.E. 10.
High M.E. saves money only when producing items in 1000+ amount. Regarding ships, market fluctuates more on day to day basis then you save when using M.E. 25+ BP so...

This is very accurate and I'd try to follow it. There are some morons on the sell forums and contracts that try to sell battleships with ME 5 saying it's only a bit of waste but you have literally thousands of competitors these days so ME 25 on a battleship is kinda the standard to save some mins.
Frigs, destroyers and cruisers I usually try to recommend to people to not produce for very long but if you do try to start selling em. Try to get the common fittings for them, or sell them out of a regional mission hub. Otherwise your going to tie up minerals on ships that don't sell very often. Tho setting up near the n00b corp starter systems sometimes works well as new players get overwhelmed and will sometimes stay in the starter station for weeks and months as they have no idea where else to go.

check This price difference between ME5 and ME 25 on a Tempest is 1.1 mil plus if you using these for invention then ME | PE levels make no difference whatever

Edited by: gordon861 on 17/09/2008 14:26:41 I've started using http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/ to check optimal BPO research.
From http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=998 optimal for a Typhoon is ME11

Really depends on what you are going to do with the BPO (how much production you will do, if you make BPCs, if those are used for invention or sale or not).
Even though the actual returns diminish as you get higher, often having a slightly higher ME will sell your BPC on contracts faster, and for more, even if they're paying more for it than they will save ;)
Personally for BS's / BC's I wouldn't go any less than ME15 before even starting production, as the margin differnce is still significant until about then. (even if the % build cost is less so). Frigates are highly dependent on the frigate. I would consider ME50 the absolute most excess you could pile on before it would be considered completely and utterly ridiclous and pointless, even if merely trying to give your BPC a market edge. ME30 is probably pefectly adequate even if you pump out alot of them.
PE (TE) will depend as well, if you're building them in empire (cheap manufacturing) or 0.0 (sometimes more expensive). 5 is usually good enough and doesn't take that long. 10 if you must. Higher only if you are building one hell of alot of them (constantly) or using very expensive 0.0 factory slots.
