Science & Industry

Hi!

Since I first started eve one of my dreams was to be able to own a POS, and luckily i may even have the opportunity to own one. But the travelling changes are going to make it different as I live about 21 lightyears from highsec.
So my questions are:
- Do you guys think it would be a good/bad idea to start investing in a POS pair to make reactions?
- Should I consider highsec/lowsec? (no fuel reduction)

Also I am wondering if this suggestion would be worth mentioning:
Make all race poses have the same CPU/PWG.

My thoughts about similar stat POSes:
- Could run reactions/other industry everywhere.
- Could mine local ice to keep pos alive.
- Revisit their bonuses, if you make them identical they would need compensation to stand out.

All forum rules apply in thread, be nice

Jump changes - 21 ly - that's 5 jumps out.

So he's asking about the reaction POS info based upon the fact people won't be able to quickly and easily get to and from highsec to buy the stuff they want/need...

Setup a POS of your own for business.

Ask in alliance chat. I know for a fact that HUN Reloaded has people quite experienced running POSs for profit.

This thread has been moved to Science & Industry. I also removed an off topic post and the one quoting it.

You know what, you're right. Total brain fart, I had just been working on a POS build that split up moon harvesting and production between losec and hisec.

Thanks!

Moongoo is going to increase in price due to increased (labor) cost of getting the goo to market. The further away from nullsec you are, the more expensive it will be to purchase and sell your i/o materials, which will hurt profit. Basically, if you're not in Sov Space, you shouldn't be doing normal reactions. Doing normal reactions in lowsec is pretty bad because of the increased fuel costs.

If you're not moving your own goods, you'll have to evaluate the cost of transport once the patch hits to see if your reaction will still be profitable. We're expecting that transport costs could rise as much as 4x due to the increased labor. The pure fuel cost won't go up (fuel costs will actually decrease), but countless more hours will be spent moving goods than previously.

I've found POS reactions to be generally profitable to the tune of a 1-2 billion isk /mo , if you do your research, properly figure out your fuel costs, and don't screw up the setup. Damn that interface.

It is correct that reactions cannot be done in hisec. But .4 systems are now available. This opens up a lot of previously closed space.

CCP caved on the fatigue and range changes for jump freighters. You should be fine even out in deep nul. But, if you can locally source your blocks, it would be better. Given the choice between Caldari and Gallente towers for reactions, I would choose Gallente for the silo volume bonus.

My setup uses 2 towers to make complex reaction. It needs 2 large gallente or caldari towers (cpu cap).

For one tower you need:
Simple reactor x1
Complex reactor x1
Silos/Coupling arrays (depending on reaction)

You put 1-1 simple reactions on each tower, and half of your materials switch towers to be able to do the complex one.
In my case Titanium carbide, 2 simple reactors can feed 2 complex reactors (1 simple makes 200/ hour, while the complex uses 100/hour)
Silos are needed to input raw materials, the simple reaction material from sister pos, an output for local material, and one for the complex output, also you can put a coupling array before that so you can offline last silo without losing anything (just a basic safety for noobs like me)
