Right... I think this is the correct place to put this. Anyway I've heard from quite a few places that you can make more money from the assorted crud that falls out of drones by doing something before you sell it. I had interpreted this as just reprocessing it but from looking at what get from doing this you seem to make far less. Am I missing something here or have I just misinterpreted what people have been saying about compounds?

Have you got the right skills? You'd loose a lot of minerals if you're not refining at 100% efficiency, which I would guess would contribute to loosing money overall.

Hmm, I'd always intepreted skills such as refining as only effecting refining as opposed to reprocessing. I'm going to take a wild guess that I was wrong?

Scrap metal skill, and station efficency + standing efficency?

standing with amarr atm is 8.6 atm, but yeah just to check I got this understood... reseach scrap metal skill and refing skills, find an efficient station at refining/reprocessing, profit?

Standing with "Amarr" faction is irrelevant. You need 6.67 (or better) with the corporation owning the station you're docked at.
Assuming a 50% base station, you'll need something like Refining 5, Refinery Efficiency 3, and Scrapmetal Processing 3 in order to refine non-ore sources of minerals at 100% (note, I may be wrong here ... have had 5/5/5 refining skills for years...)

However, with that said ... it's kind of irrelevant to be talking about drone poo since the source is getting removed in ~4 days.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Alas, I seem to find myself behind the times again :' ( , ah well, thanks for the help anyway.

Drone poo is highly compressed compared to the minerals it turns into. People who want to ship a ton of minerals across the galaxy may pay a premium if you do NOT refine it.

Most posts talking about poo tend to be put in CAOD, but we'll let you slide this once.

I don't know about everybody but you can still stockpile...CCP is not removing the drone poo from the game, just removing the source.

Drone Poo it's yucky. Send it to me I recycle it into a proper fertilizer for you industrial type people who are into that kind of thing. Gotta clean up the galaxy you know.
