How much can you make in lowsec per week with 1 character?

Also are there any lowsec systems where you can produce p4 out of 1 single system?

Thanks

It depends on so many different things. 100M-1B/month or somesuch.

Well you dont specify what you want to do, hell even just extracting and making p2 pays something like 50M planet -> 250M month. If you make good P4 with proper research you can get nearly 200M month profits easily -> 1B.
So please where i did any MAJOR mistakes, dont ask questions if you want everythin served to you on a tray heh.

Edit, since editing is cool.. Checked some numbers, the current theoretical maximum is something like 500M / month on 0 tax planet, but gl gettin that.

My belief is that losec PI is gets you somewhere just below PLEX per month roughly per alt/char. I have 1 alt and am producing right up to control towers and such whi does cover PLEX for about 1.5 per month.. One caveat though is that I don't maximise my yields by regular resets of extractors, just once a day. I also produce P"'s directrly on planet and export them as it simplifies my supply chain. Although I extract less from the planets I make better use of my time so make more isk/hour.

Most times maximum extraction isn't the simplest answer to how much you get from PI. There is a large element of market trading too to make sure you get the best prices you are willing to travel for. I would agree that there are multiple factors in play, not least how much time you as a player have to invest into your colonies.

The most recent anecdotal data-point I can provide is that a friend was working out of lowsec with favourable POCOs, and was frustrated that he was maxing-out around 21 million ISK per day per planet... then I told him that was over 3 billion ISK per month, and he was surprised.

When did people start trolling S&I? Must be a slow day.

How about you just lock the thread, considering it's the OP who asked an un-answerable question and then royally shat on everyone who wagered a response?

Honestly low sec is only slightly better then high sec.
Tax can can make a huge imoact
Amount of pi characters
Also like to assume that i WILL lose at least one indie haul (better chance in low)
Now i will tell you with little.effort one character i make roughly 260m-300m a week about 40m a day in wh space with planets much more lucrative.

After import/export, I am currently making at least 10mil/day producing P1 and P2. My most complicated production involves two planets working to make enriched uranium.

This is all with fairly amateur experience (but Level 4 skills, 5 planets), but it's still enough to cover half a PLEX or so per month.
