Science & Industry

I use to mine from time to time but I'm a total noob at manufacturing.

Then, yesterday I got the bright idea to get into manufacturing, make my own ships and blow them up. Screw those expensive T2 ships and modules - I thought, I will use everything T1, and make everything myself. It will be awesome, I'll have lots of expendable ships to play with. I am not an industry character, so I do not care about invention and all that arcane stuff.

So I bought lots of frigates and destroyers BPOs, and all of the T1 modules and guns and ammo I could think about. When I finally brought everything back to station, and happily started to create stuff - I found out that I can only create 4 items (with my skills) at a time. Totally annoying. Also - there is no industry queue.

I can train for 1 day more - then I will be able to make 5 items at a time... I need to train for 20 days more (Advanced Mass Production 4) so I can make 9 items at a time. I have no plans to make ISK with this T1 producing for myself scheme. I want to produce a ship I want, and all it's modules at once, or at least queue it.

Suggestion: 10 job slots is the minimum number any new pilot with no skills should have. Or/and add an industry queue.

Are your attributes really skewed against production (mem/int) as that seems excessive for AMP IV? Regardless, just train it to lvl 3.

Manufacturing will require some patience - especially if the BPO's you bought aren't researched - but eventually everything will start rolling along.

And if you'd checked costs, you'd have seen that it'll probably be cheaper to buy from the market than to manufacture from unresearched blueprints.

What you make is no more expendable than what you buy from the market, and probably more inconvenient because of the time you need to spend buying the materials, moving minerals to the manufacturing site, fetching the stuff you forget to fetch the first time, waiting for the jobs to finish, etc



Because industrialist should no longer be a profession in this game?

And maybe while we're at it we should let new players into T2 ships too because the advanced ship skills take too long? Or let players use T2 guns because the advanced gun skills take too long?

I'd support a skill level beyond that allows for more than 10 production or research jobs at a time. Actually, I think it goes to 11. But I could be wrong.

There is a solution for this. It's is called "Industry alt".

Cause industry in Eve Online is a complex and (sometimes) rewarding profession. And people invest a lot into it to get an upper hand and real profits etc.

I agree an industry queue would be nice.

How are you using so many ships & ammo that 4 manufacturing slots isn't enough? Destroyers and small guns don't take that long to build and neither does ammo.

There is no reason for more industry slots. Make a like-minded friend and pool your resources together. Now you got 22 slots.

Fully research your blueprints, then create 3 max. run copies of the blueprint, then you can put the PBO into your production line. Save your BPC's for the day you get the idea of producing T2's, it will save you from pulling the BPO off the production line for a day just to make a BPC.
