Science & Industry

Hello all,

So I am wanting to get invention started up and was wondering if you guys knew any websites or had any links that could help me get started in the right direction to getting this started. I am currently trained in mining so hoping the skill weight in invention wont be as large. Thak you in advance.

1) Google.
2) wiki.eveonline.com
3) YouTube
4) Industry Tutorial Agent missions

A lot of the skills aren't really an issue. There are a handful of rank 1 skills that are good enough to train by themselves and are prerequisites for other skills such as Science, Mechanic, Electronics, Engineering. After those you just have to focus on the two required skills and the encryption type. I'd say with the base skills trained the specialty/encryption take maybe a week and half to get up to a decent level and then after that's it all volume and click click click.

I remember the first time I ran a couple invention jobs and I was so happy to see the Job Successful dialog and after so many now I just go "yeah, whatever".

Of course, if CCP Soundwave gets his way, you'll have to move out to low/null in order to do it.

Don't really see that happening people will whine too much about having to move to low/null to do invention, and this is more of the hi sec carebear kind of thing. Though if they did I know I would happily train up invention just to try to fill my pockets with isk that others are too afraid to take the risk for.

I mean we got the whole suicide ganking ships nerfed with the whole no insurance payout, which I never thought would happen. Plus I think this would screw with our economy way too much with the t2 market we lose a lot of people doing invention, and it would just otherwise mess with how everything is being done now if you had to worry about pirates, etc at the whole low sec aspect of this. Too many people would not be prepared for it.

You guys are so hard headed. It seems like he wants datacore production to be a main feature that faction warfare will do. This rewards people for doing faction warfare. Then they will sell the datacores to people who are doing production in high sec, because they will use the labs for research in high sec to pop out BPCs. They will then buy the Tech 2 components which are made out of moon goo from you guessed it 0.0 to have all three parts of space involved in invention.

The eve wiki is the best source on info.

Ideally you should expect it to take several months to get into a good solid invention/manufacturing setup, both skill wise and inventory.

To get started the best approach IMO would be to pick up several BPO's you are interested in and start making copies, since copies will be your main bottle neck. Making copies only requires Science V for max copy time (so you should have this all ready) and as many lab slots as possible. So get yourself Advanced laboratory operations IV (9 research jobs at a time). Copies do not carryover the ME/PE research on a BPO so you can use non-researched BPO's.

While the copies are being made you can focus on the specific skills you will need to invent and manufacture the BPC's you'll be waiting to complete.

You will also want to look into R&D agents and get a few setup for the specific datacores you will be using for the T2 manufacturing.
