If someone has a few and would like to make a few bucks, send evemail detailing EXACTLY what to do setting up reactions ina a pos. Buying materials and processing.

Until the market fluctuates and you need to rethink. My +800 million ISK/month reaction farm turned into minus 12 million per month.

Large faction tower 32/fuel/hr but also serves as base for explo/pi etc. Not to worried about profit till I figure it all out getting it to do reactions period.

If you break-even doing reactions, that's pretty good.

Exactly, with the movement of the market, you really have to keep a close eye on what's going up and what's dropping and move with the market.

I don't even bother with mining moons anymore, I merely purchase base moon mats and react them for whatever is on the rise at the time.

Got that quick and clear. Reacting the stuff i mining then checking prices and taking miner offline

Thats what pay to play does. If everyone had to WORK for their stuff, there would be a few awesome pirates but mostly pvp would be in general openly declared warfare. Like it or not industry is a huge and necessary part of eve and continually nerfing it in favor of the small but active percentage of players who sit around afk just waitig for someone to shoot at, no profit, just a km, is ********.

If you only run 1 POS it is difficult. But even then you can make a decent profit without changing reactions for a long time if you pick the right one. You need to be creative with your setup and will have short maintenance windows. 200mln after fuel on a (semi-) death star with room for 1 additional lab is possible.

If you run twin reaction towers, it is very difficult to not make profit if you exclude the carbide reactions from your list.
You need to be able to actively defend it though as a twin setup has no self defenses.

You appear to be complaining about PvP in a PvP game.

I could kind of understand this (but not agree with) if you were in highsec. But no, you were in, at least, lowsec. It's not safe there.

Woo! CSM XI!

You could try talking to them. I've never found a situation some friendly taunting didn't make better. Most people who tried to kill me during exploration ended up friends, or at least no longer out to gank me.

isk per hour and fuzzworks have tools to check current profitability of reactions. Both are very good indy tools.

Market fluctuations will cause variations in profitability. Using a good tool and being flexible with a max run time of 1 week or less can make you some isk; but won't make you rich.

I think what he is actually referring to is the ability to generate income by buy plex. What you end up seeing, too much in my opinion, are tons pf people just willing to throw away money to try to get killmails rather than truly playing the game the way it was meant. In olden days, you had to have income generation in order to PVP regularly, now, you buy a few plex, toss them on the market and voila, you've got a never ending supply of ships that you really didn't have to do any work for.

With that being said, the game is what it is and if someone chooses to play that way, then, that's their thing. Unfortunately, it affects us all.
