Hi, im starting with planetary interaction and i was wondering if is even worth it to do it on High-sec.

So far, i don't see it that bad, i spend like 5 million to colonize one planet, and then i don't have any big spends on it, and i get lvl 1 products.

My plan is to stock pile all these lvl 1 products, then produce lvl 2 and finally produce lvl 3. Since is a little complicated to be able to colonize 6 planets at the same time and with them be enough to make a lvl 3 product.

overall you'll make roughly 1M isk/day per planet doing P1 in highsec. Obviously this will depend on planet types, number of other players on them, how much time you invest into them and replenish rates which is why I'm saying roughly, but its a good estimate to expect. Nullsec and wormholes will average around 4M isk per planet per day which again is mostly depndant on the number of other players using the planets, tax rate and planet types but does not include hauling costs.

If it is worth it totally depends on you. For new players it can be great, for others not so much. Assuming 1M isk, per planet per day, and 5 planets per character you're looking at around 150M isk per month. Training all 3 characters on your account will then nearly pay for a PLEX per month, which can be used to start a new account, setup 3 characters, do more PI, repeat.

Yeah, i like the idea of buying the raw materials, because, for example, i did a quantity of lvl 2 products and it costed me 450k to transfer them from the custom office, and if i sell them, i gain 450k.
