High I am trying to figure out the the best way to set up PI in my WH. It doesnt make all the pos fuel but does make mech parts, enriched uranium, and robotics.

I am wanting to make robotics to sell in high sec and wondering the best way to set up my planets with PI, currently I can use 5 planets

Planets are
2x Barren
2x Plasma
2x Lava
2x Ocean

Any help would be greatly appreciated

My recommendation would be to gain some stand with Interbus to lower your taxes on import/export.
In Hi-sec try to produce directly from RAW material to P3 to avoid the tax.
That means forget 4x extraction planets, and 1x factory planet.

Alternatively you can find a nice corporation with WH access and set up your PI there :)

If you have any more questions regarding how to setup your PI, contact me ingame and I'll help as much as I can :)

Erm, looks like the guy lives in a w-space?

Hey Vizzini,

I don't think that mechanic works like you think it works.

OK, so robotics needs the stuff from Barren and Lava planets.

best way looks like it might be:
1. kill off the NPC offices, set up PCOs on the barren and lava planets
2. set up extraction planets
3. set up factory planet
4. extract stuff, move to factory, build robotics
5. ???
6/ sell when a wormhole opens to somewhere useful.

edit -- with the distribution of planets, I think you can get everything save the ice fuels...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

The Tax on the extraction planets is not too bad.

The factory planet sucks.

Kill 1 CO and install a CO on that as a factory. Preferablly the smallest of the ocean planets.

And pray that you can keep the CO alive for however many weeks/months it takes to manufacture and export ~8000 P3s to recoup the 100M ISK pricetag of said CO. After that, its all profit.

true enough -- I thought he was looking for 0 tax across the board...

Might be, but since he didn't mention the number of people in the hole with him, I assume firepower might be limited and the factory planet will yield the most bang for the buck.

I guess it depends on how much PI you are doing. I did the same for my coolant factory planet. With 3 toons the ROI was about 2.5 weeks.

I'm still skeptical how many people are going to want to destroy POCO's in a WH. No huge advantage. And you are pretty much guaranteed you will have to either log off the fleet inside or scan the new static 24 hours later.

May be, its best to forget robotrics and only produce mech. parts, enriched uranium and transmitter.
On each planet from P0 -> P2, w/o imports.

Having short, upgrades links from your spaceports to commandcenters, also gives you the opion to work with planetary launches, which is save and considering the 15% export tax, saves money comparing to interbus Co.

Huh? Pls don't try that.
You know I hacked the CCP servers yesterday and set all Interbus taxes to a FIXED 17%. Big smile

Thanks for the replies guys. Here is another question

I will have 9 alts in about 2 weeks with all PI skills to level 4 so Command Upgrade 4 and 5 Planets

The WH can make only 1 P4 good Sterile Conduits

With the army of alts that I will have and POCOs at all planets and a tax rate of 3% for our corp would it be a good Idea to make a bunch of P4 products?

Better yet, do a forum search and find someone that has already done the work for you.
