5 billion ISK but a new character and you lost all of your old characters because they were perma killed by CCP as part of a random genocide.... and you wanted to build a company

What would you do?

What would you manufacture?

Would you trade instead or forgo 1isking because you already had billions.

You're limited only by character skills, but the skills will develope over time. How would you position yourself in order to be making more billions in 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 months or even 0 months.

I think this question can shed some light on industry/trade ect... feel free to go off on a tangent that only very vaguely applies.

I would set up factory planets for PI for future profit and trian up some trading skills to sit and station trade possibly. Boring as hell but if all your after is making isk, i think station trading is possibly the best, though most time intensive.

If your going for the production route you would need to grind out standings because you CANNOT be viable in the markets by using station slots. It's simply not possible when you start needing larger volumes of product made. Get into R&D also once oyu have the PoS set up and you should be almost ready to print isk. Do your research on products to make and sell (and what to station trade when waiting for jobs to finish) and ISK should roll in.

How long it would take to set up? Depends on what skill set you want to use and if you want to generalize or specialize with your R&D and manufacturing.

Then there is the ultimate 'get rich quick' scheme...scam like you've never scammed before, once you get a ****** rep, biomass the character and make a new one 10 hours later.
