Guess I am just interested in peoples thoughts here.

I've been playing this game for a long time now. Never been mega rich, but have been lucky enough to get a few officers in my time which gave me some capital - went on to build Nyx for a while before the nerf with the aim of getting into a titan at some point.

SC are no longer really worth building, so I am wondering what to do next to get "good money" coming in, with the end game being getting into a titan.

I currently have around 20b liquid, more if I can sell the bloody Nyx BPO Oops and some other bits.

PI - Not sure the profits are really there to make it worthwhile.
POS reactions - I am guessing most/all of the good stuff is owned by big alliances
T2 BPO - Have thought long and hard about this - miht be a good investment with some passive income, but lot of effort for not much money incoming - and I cannot afford a decentish T2 BPO.

So - anyone been in the same boat and have any thoughts?

I've heard some people talking about making a billion a week off PI. take that with a grain of salt, but don't discount it either. Take a look at P4 manufacture, with buying from the market, and using a factory planet. Check with various start points, as the earlier you start, the lower the tax. If you can support it, use your own POCO to remove the tax. Or make a deal.

T2 BPOs can make a profit, but your throughput is heavily limited. Invention on the other hand, isn't so limited. (BPO does one manufacturing line. Decent skills can keep multiple active for a slightly higher cost)

Woo! CSM XI!

20 bil in liquid assetsShocked ummmm..... Shouldn't u be telling us what to do? LOL

And why not focus on carriers? I woukd think they are still profitable, and there may be an increase in their loss rate now.

Reactions.... Maybe if you move into a wormhole and run reactions there, but yeah moon mining is limited in nul because if the larger alliances.

Still, what do you need money for?

Well - getting into a titan is one goal for sure. The other to a degree is to pay for accounts without having isk running down. I do also like shiny stuff :)

From an army of alts maybe. A "decent" rule of thumb is 100M per month per planet. So a decent single account might make 500M in a month, and that was before the tax increase. No idea what a HS factory planet can produce in profit now.

I would look into T3 production. I don't why I don't do more of it.
