Hey Guys, I am kinda new to the whole building ships scheme, and was wondering if you guys could give me some pointers.

Firstly, and I know this is lightyears away, How much training time would it take me to build capital ships?

Secondly, What specific skills would I need?


Thanks Guys

Firstly, why do you want to build ships? Have you done the math?

Costs (materials + broker fees + transaction taxes + lab & assembly line costs, etc.) vs. selling price and trade volumes (no point in making something that makes good profit, but sell too slowly).

Ships are very high investment and low profit. They are terrible for starting with. Try ammo, drones, rigs, and scripts, then a few modules.

Thanks for the info, I actually want to build ships not for the money, but for the ability to make them and be self reliant because my corp's current goal is to go into WH space and get our own pos and build us some capital ships in there. So that is why I want to build ships

You basically need 2 skills for capital ships:
* Capital Construction (1 = freighters & Orca, 3 = carriers & dreadnoughts, 4 = Rorqual)
* Production Efficiency 5

you also need a fuckton of ISK if you're getting into capital construction. Even BPC packs are relatively expensive (a few hundred million), then you need 0.8-1b in materials.

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
