In order to get better extraction rates I've based in low sec and will move to nullsec. This means every trip is a small risk and P1s mean about 5 times as many trips as P2s.<br /><br />Once I get the ability to use a jump freighter I will probably rethink that. There's an opportunity cost in placing advanced processors to make P1 into P2 when you could be dropping more extractors.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-12762964824530028362010-07-17T12:33:27.538-07:002010-07-17T12:33:27.538-07:00With 23 colonies, I can make the full profit off o...With 23 colonies, I can make the full profit off of 1 wetware mainframe/hour.<br /><br />With 5 colonies, I can make a decent profit off of 4 of 4 different p4 products per hour buying P2s.<br /><br />Hmm.<br /><br />IMarvUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039188121434931051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-7417543993339098952010-07-17T08:37:55.821-07:002010-07-17T08:37:55.821-07:00@toldain it isn't a question of isk per hour. ...@toldain it isn't a question of isk per hour. It's a question of exposure to risk. At the moment the only thing remotely risky is hauling stuff around and you spend an indordinate amount of time in station/pos simply clicking the re-scan instead of doing something that exposes you to further risk.<br /><br />@jimmy actually right now the POS's are cheap as hek. What I'm trying to point out is that since the PI stuff will rise and fall in sync for the most part, fuel is now pegged higher in ratio to the infrastructure costs than ever before.Letrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433319509081349521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-57825932942312857582010-07-16T18:33:02.998-07:002010-07-16T18:33:02.998-07:00People are still figuring out what they want to ma...People are still figuring out what they want to make with PI. The market is somewhat stable, but I suspect P1's will slowly fade to 100-300 isk/ea in the long term. Reason: You don't need to fuel your planets, a lot will add up.<br /><br />Right now, POS fuel is expensive, modules are cheap, and towers are on the pricey side. Reason: Everyone and their mom saw themselves making towers. It's tough. I'm in a two-man machine that cranks them out, but we've had real-life meetings to sort through the complicated process from day one. Others have fallen short and resorted to making stuff like labs instead. I suspect a lot will opt to make fuel going forward.<br /><br />Also, the reason why P1's and P4's are expensive makes sense. It's a diamond, not a pyramid. The top is expensive, but there's more pressure on the base with only fifteen P1's going on to make a slew of P2's and P3's, there's more pressure on the base. <br /><br />One last thing: I've paper and penned P1's for over three weeks now and one thing is clear: The pre-bought PI items were essential in allowing the market a soft landing.Ming Sinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057953328210403850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072295959847306495.post-90004694661471617282010-07-16T14:35:27.590-07:002010-07-16T14:35:27.590-07:00Umm, if PI is lower ISK/hr, but safer, doesn't...Umm, if PI is lower ISK/hr, but safer, doesn't that fit the desired profile?<br /><br />Other than station trading, most things in EVE follow this pattern.<br /><br />Perhaps you think the ISK/hr is too high for PI? Please say more about this.Toldainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501926678749747844noreply@blogger.com
