Im about to launch a PI endeavor into null sec and have a few questions:

With multiple PI toons how do i pickup one toons product with a seperate toon?

IE i have a toon trained to fly a viator and one who is not. They both will have 5 planets each and i want to have my viator pilot do the rounds and pickup for both.

Can i give my viator pilot access to my other toons product so he can get it out of nullsec. Im assuming i would have to make a corp and give the pilot CEO role??

Also i am planning on setting up in npc null to avoid sov issues as im unknown and neutral. Is npc null fair game for PI?

Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.  Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!

As far as I know you can't pick up PI products with another character.

In NPC null, yes, you are fair game.
You can of course do your ninja PI on any planet you want but likely you won't get a good tax rate since it won't be your customs office.

You cant deploy a CC on a planet that is player owned sovereignty. Only a rep of that corp/alliance with the proper role can do it. Someone correct me if im wrong because ill totally ninja squat a CC on someones planet.

So how do people get their product out of nullsec on multiple accounts safely (or at least more likely not to get camped). Training to pilot a bloackade runner on each toon with CCs in nullsec takes a long time and alot of money per ship.

You may find some luck in a sleepy spot in Low sec. Easier to ship the goods to high sec markets, no sov to worry about and with a little searching, you may find some POCOs with reasonable tax rates for neutrals.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

Create safespot. Spread bookmark to all alts. Jetcan stuff at safespot. Pick it all up in transporter char before 2h passed. Hope nobody steals from you.
Alternatively, do PI in system with station. Move all stuff in station, contract to transporter char.

Thank you this is good direction. Just realized i can also make a corp and have all toons join and then use the corp bookmark function.

I have a mamoth trained up on all my characters and an ity 5 on my main i just use that to haul the pi mats back to station and keep it all in a corp hangar tab that only i use. Makes managing 4 toons pi easy.

Pretty much this here. Dunno to much about NPC null, but you should have any problems beside players killing ya.

Want some pvp help? Like to fly small and fast frigates? Then join the in game channel Tenori_Tigers!

Your'e on the right track, I've been doing PI this way for over a year. I run mine for minimum effort, making single planet products and harvesting 4-5k units from each planet every 3 weeks or so. I live far from my farming system so I just keep clones there and jump over for harvesting.

Train all your alts to for Planet upgrades and consolidation IV, your preferred industrial (Mammoth for me), cloaking I, hull upgrades II(for cargo expanders)


Find an NPC station system with your preferred planets either in system or adjacent. Scout the area and safe-spot, etc. consider the pipe to empire if you plan on smuggling it yourself( I just hire a Jump Freighter).

setup your planets, and: clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick

When the planets are full, go harvest.
Try to find a quiet time with few people around, an industrial is a juicy targetPirate.
Stay on your toes and keep warping, use your cloak if you think your'e being hunted.

When you get a nice pile of PI stuff either sell locally or ship to highsec for sale.

Its really best if you can make friends with at-least some of the locals, you might even find a buyer or hauler this way.

only way to avoid that is join a sov holding nullsec corp or move to empire and do it there XD

Answered in the other thread you asked the same question in.

Fly fast and shoot straight, find peace when you need it, war when you want it, love always and turn up the music.
