Hey everyone. I currently do quite a bit of Low/null exploration and am always annoyed by the ladars I scan down.

Im considering setting up a drug manufacturing line with my indy character and wanted to disuss the realities of it with those who may have already done this.

Are the profits comparable to an invention line? this is what I would be trading off with the use of my indy character.

Do the boosters move reasonably well, considering I produce the more common ones?

What sort of time investment could I expect?

Sure, let me do your math for you so that you can profit off of it.

Seeing as they are relativity questions involving passed experiences apposed to calculations... Yes, let me see what you call math plz. Perhaps I can profit through laughter.

Profits comparable to an invention line, well that depends on how profitable your invention line is and how profitable the drug manufacturing line is. (which is purely MATH).

The boosters move depending on your location. I will have to go to that location and check the volume traded per day and compare it to other items you sell. Or you could always buy the items and try reselling them to view what sort of turnover you have. (this is math too f y i.)

What sort of time investment could I expect. well that would depend greatly on your setup and how much effort you want to put into it and what ships you can fly. You would have to do MATH to see how often the arrays needed refilling, and how much cargo space is required. (which is also math). If you plan on harvesting every single gas yourself do the MATH to figure out how many hours a day/week you would need to keep your arrays running at max capacity.

There you go i showed you what to do. Now go do math!

Currently I manufacture standard boosters for my corp. As for how well they move, it depends on your market. I have a few people that are always buying from me so that keeps my lines going but its no where near what I could pump out if I kept the drug lab and reactor running 24 hours a day. As for time investment, once you have your reactors set up it takes like 5 min to move stuff around and click go. Also the reaction interface on a pos is horrible and frustrating.

That being said if you are interested in harvesting and selling the gas to me I would be open to offers
