Science & Industry

Quite simple, you do not.
Anyone in LowSec doing PVP will never use straight up T1 modules.

There are 2 groups that will buy your T1 modules.

Suicide Gankers
T2 Producers

Gankers need cheap stuff, and if 2 ships with Meta 0 T1 will do the job, they do not need to spring for named.
T2 producers need 1 item of T1 for each T2 mod made.

My advice is: slow down, take some time to get familiar with the various game systems. If you're that new, you've got a lot to learn and discover before you'll be much use to any corp that is already set up in low or null space. My personal opinion is that it is very hard for a solo industrialist to get into or out of null space with valuable cargo unless they have cloaking skills and a hauler that can fit spec ops cloakers such as the Viator. And some practice learning the tactics necessary to break a gate camp without getting decloaked or blown up.

Some new players like to "take a peek" into low or null before they're really ready and that is totally fine, but if the objective is to make ISK for you and your corp, you've still got a lot to learn within Empire space before running the gauntlet to low or null with valuable goods in tow.

With my latest character I tried something new: my very first skill emphasis was Planetary Interaction. The theory has been that if I concentrate on making PASSIVE income right out the gate, it should make all other early endeavors that much easier, such as missioning (replacing lost ships, etc), buying goods to trade, etc. Most newbies get really frustrated being perpetuially out of ISK, meanwhile once I got my PI chain fully up & running I was able to grow my balance from around 10 Million to 1.2 Billion in just over a month while still replacing & refitting two very expensive battleships during that time, along with buying & fitting a few new ships for salvage, greater hauling capacity, etc.

I must say it has worked out very well. It took some patience early on, waiting for my PI skills to get to a useful level, but it was worth it. I created two other alts on the same account using the extra character slots, trained them in PI only, and now I make about 25 million ISK per day (before taxes) with only about 25 minutes-worth of work, freeing me up to make even more ISK from missioning, ratting, mining, etc. Many players will pay for extra accounts ($$$ or PLEX) so they can train their alts at the same time, and those folks will tell me I'm stupid for training alts on the same account, but what can I say? I'm a cheap bastard.

Some of them will skoff at 25 million ISK per day, but for a new player that's pretty freakin good, esp. for only 25 minutes a day. Now that I'm doing Lvl IV missions and salvaging them, I'm making another 15 - 20 million ISK per day on top of that (only 1 mission per day since I have a job and a wife).

I'm sure others will have their own opinions.

Very few people actually manufacture T2 outside of highsec for a variety of reasons. Very few people manufacture T1 modules outside of highsec for similar reasons (T1 ship manufacturing is primarily done due to hauling constraints, and only requires maybe 3 weeks of training to do perfectly, so most people do it in house with BPCs).

So you may have big plans (with even bigger ellipsis), but I'm not sure you understand the way your plans will interact with reality.

(By the Way, Low-Sec mining has never been worthwhile, something to do with all of the danger of Sov Null, with no significant profit improvement over High-Sec)

Not meaning to jack this thread, but I thought I'd rather post here as it's pretty much the same question. The only difference is that I've been plaing eve for over 6 years and did a lot of stuff - Nullsec (NPC and Sov), Lowsec, Trade, lived in Wh space for a bit, did all kinds of PvE & PvP, yet I've never produced a single item in this game.

As I've grown a bit bored, I thought I'd give R&D a go - the problem is that I don't really know where to start - and how.

I have 2 characters with 100 and 80 mill SP, the higher SP character is purely PvP skilled and is supposed to stay that way, the other one has some industry skills (can fly all haulers up to freighters, exhumers, orca along with some science skills (science V for HICs etc...).

Taking both characters into account, I'd be able to put up a POS in all 4 empires and I have accumulated some starting capital over the years.

So here some questions:

1. Would I be better off crosstraining the lower SP character (I don't care about sale value and he's crosstrained allready) or should I rather start a bunch of dedicated alts - or maybe a combination? How many characters would I need?

2. Is setting up a T2 production line viable for a single person or should I rather try to find some corp?

3. How much would I roughly have to invest initially and how long would it take me to get the initial investment back as an unexperienced person in the field?

Sorry for these probably dumb questions. I usually tend to figure out stuff myself and read some basic guides and know which skills I'll need and yes - I have ample Excel experience etc..., but I don't want to find myself investing a lot of time and a large sum of isk into something that isn't viable or profitable to begin with.

Thank you very much for your elaborate reply.

I guess I'll start really small then and see if I enjoy it rather than investing billions into jump starting something.

I personally have trade alts (made most of my current money with trade), but sound advice nonetheless.
