You have been successfull in the capital ship bizness so I imagine you know your stuff around it.There have been numerous threads about titans and supercarriers been too overpowered these days.CCP keeps nerfing and balancing them but I imagine the future will bring some sort of drastic change to them.When that happens some ships who are currently underdogs will see great boosts in sales.A lot of these ships bpcs I didn't see in your current shop.So my idea is to start selling dread bpcs triage/bpcs as well.You had to turn away customers in your thread because you only sold supers, thats a pontential loss of money for you.Since you know your way around copying bpcs this should be relatively easy for you to start and see returns fast, and when the big nerfs hit you would have tons of stock to fill that niche and cash in huge.

he is looking for idea's from people that dont have the funds to execute themselves.

Look at it this way: You think of something genius in RL. you register a patent on it. Although since you are just a farmer you dont have missions to mass produce and advertise the product you thought of. instead you sell your patent or make a deal that they can use your patent for an x amout of cash.

that's exactly what I offer. Another guy with 3,5 trillion in assets and cash will probably not help me, but somebody who sees an opportunity, but does not have a few 100 billion in cash lying around might want to make a profit from this contest - like the guys last year.

By the way, some business opportunities do require a partner - that has some time at had. In my other businesses I am working some other partners who make a very decent profit. One for instance makes an estimates 5-10 billion a year supporting me. Doing something he likes to do anyway

Fair enough. It just seemed like an odd request. I tend to just invest in people with good ideas.

Wreck the customs offices not yet claimed and replace with own, charging 1% or so.
With the upcoming Dust connection, it is expected that these Customs Offices will play an important role in the battles.

With that much isk, you could effectively control most if not all the Meta 4 market (weapons for example) in the entire cluster. Just buy everything and sit on it for half a year then dump.

Of course, there is a lot more to it logistically, but the main idea is that.

maybe you need to look into the bpc packs you can't buy in contracts in eve

iff you want to make a jumpfreighter you only can buy the ship bpc but not a pack

or maybe a station pack

as first i will say to you do jumpfreighters because around amarr some are selling for 9 bil at the moment ( the buyers price ) so big business

greetings shock

I would recommand to take a look at copying times of the advanced capital component BPOs...with one set of those it would take months to make just 1 set for JF construction.

Idea #1

Expand your current manufacturing to cover fittings/modules for the capital ships you are selling. So start building things like the 3500mm arties or whatever people fit on the ships you are selling. You can start offering a "complete capital ship" package where you supply the ship and all the modules/ammo/etc that they need to fly it. You then offer a package discount type thing where the cost of said ship and modules are cheaper than buying everything separately. This would increase your overall gross profit per sale.

Idea #2

Expand to other high end ships. You seem to focus on capital ships, but that's not the only thing PvPer's fly. Start looking at producing Battlecruisers, ewar ships, logistics ships, stealth bombers, etc. Combine it with the above idea where you supply all-in-one packages to PvPers. I don't know the low/nullsec market well, but I bet there is a lot of opportunity for non-capital ship production.

It may not make you as much profit as capital stuff does, but it diversifies your manufacturing and gives you access to a much larger base of customers.

Command ship bubble

CCP have stated in there "Back to the Balancing future" dev blog that they intend to nerf T3 fleet bonuses from 5% to 2%, this will make command ships fleet bonus bigger than T3 bonus, which creates demand.

Also CCP stated that they want to give fleet boosting ships a reason to leave the POS shield, one propsed idea is requiring booster ships to be on grid, but it doesnt really matter how they do it. More command ships will get destroyed, so more will need to be made.

Historically there hasnt been much of a profit margin in command ships, often they sell below invention costs, as with T2 BPO owners supplying market.

Its a bubble waiting to happen, there will also be a long term boost to command ship prices.

All the standard bubble profiteering techniques will apply, take your pick.
