Looking at the skills... a 32/33 day train for an extra research slot/production slot or 30 days for an extra 10. So the question is, how many research alts? ^_^

Seems a bit stupid IMO but hey.. maybe a new skill is in order?

no its ok... rly trust me. Sometimes it's better to have different alts in different locations where manufacturing/research slots are not filled to the max. Sure the downside is the one additional PLEX per account. But if you rly need an addition character for industry then you are probably already rich by EVE standards :P

I keep telling everybody that when they insist on training level 5.

Well, if you are manufacturing T2 or T3, there are a lot of other skills to train. A research alt needs few though.

I would have to say too many, seems i train manufacturing up to 10 lines and research up to 10 lines on all my characters. And im not even doing industry stuff seriously... Seems to be one of those one day things for me...

Well time sink is a time sink.. One reason might be due to the exception for a corporation to do the research as a group, not an individual on multiple accounts..?

There's quite a bit of secondary skills involved if you're building a generalist research + manufacture alt. PE 5 for example will set you back ~2 weeks or more.
The 11th slot makes sense only after you've maxed the alt and have nothing better to train for, else 10 slots is pretty standard.

Pure research alt is a different story, then again, I woldn't waste an account on a pure research alt.
Research and manufacturing skills are intertwined and forms a symbiotic relationship to an industrialist.

I have 3 industry characters including this one. They support the isk habit of my PVP main character. I mostly do PI, and reactions in 0.0
