If you need more isk then you can probably fill the other 2 slots on your account and train basic PI skills(~2 days training on each toon), every little helps.

Exploration is like gambling really :), pays off well or it doesn't, not much in between. I do lots of hisec exploration when i get tired of L4s. I do them in all-in-one legion fit(it was a hurricane before that), some days i can make like 10 mil while on the next day i make my plex from 2 drops.



Does PI make a decent amount of ISK? I have actually been curios about that.


High-sec PI isn't a rich making activity if you compare high-sec planets to low-sec or null-sec planets. This is cause the lower the sec status the better the mineral deposits on planets, and null-sec (and low-sec) has got the advantage of Player Owned Custom Offices which CAN mean lower tax on using them

But it is passive income, you set it up and let it run for couple of days. You check, export, sell once in a while and it is almost instant profit (takes up only couple of million to set up multiple planets)

Yes high sec PI is bad, but find a nice empty lowsecsystem(or wh if you dare) then you can make good isk :). You can roughly make 50-115m(4 planets) a month per character from high sec Pi if you are thorough with your spreadsheets and tight on keeping the numbers right.

Its passive but every little helps when it comes to buying that plex.

Remember that EVE is a game where more risk equals more profit, i.e. if you really want to make profit out of exploration, move beyond high sec.

You also need salvaging, hacking, and analysis to at least 1 to open exploration containers.

The only skills I know of with 'analysis' in their name are Signature Analysis and Trajectory Analysis, neither of which seems to me to be relevant to opening exploration cans.

What am I missing?

He means analyzer module which requires archeology skill.

Thanks - I thought there might be some skill I was unaware of.
