So I've had one of my industry characters sat in the EVEGuru low sec Sotiyo just training skills for a little while now, but I decided today is the day actually take some blueprints down and start prepping for doing my first build run.
First thing I did was load up EVEGuru and see what blueprints I'd need. As this is lowsec I'm going to be doing some reactions and component production myself. Previously I'd just bought the components and built Cranes, but this limits your ROI as some of that profit is baked into the intermediate components and reactions.
Anyway, I saw that I was missing a bunch of skills for the intermediate components, so I updated my skill queue...
Just a bit more training time then...
In reality this equates to about 5 days before I can do everything I want to. So not too bad.
I then bought all the blueprints I need for the intermediate components, reactions, and the ships themselves, and flew them down in my blockade runner.
Next was renting corp offices. Being owned by a player entity they can set a fixed price for corp offices rather than it being demand driven pricing like in NPC stations. For the 2 EVEGuru strictures it's 50mil/month, so 100mil all in. Not dirt cheap but hoping it'll be worth it in the long run.
After that it's time to start researching some blueprints. This is where the rig bonuses and being in low sec really start to compound, as blueprint research is much faster than it would be in highsec. So on my one character there my industry jobs currently look like this:
I have at least 2 of all these blueprints, except starship tech I'm realising. Need to sort that one out. This allows me to have 1 in research while I use the other to build. Also 1 day to get to ME10 for the components is really really fast.
That's where I'm at. Next step is to work out a list of materials to feed all of this to build, say, 10 Sabres, and have it shipped down here. I'm going to try and use EVEGuru for this, but will make my own spreadsheet if I have to.
