One possibility if you do not want to have to deal with the intense competition at trade hubs or mission hubs is in low sec.

You see, pirates and many faction war participants often get sec status hits. This means that getting stuff in high sec becomes
a problem without a grind or an alt account.

You can sell for a bit more in FW areas certain items for a fair but not extortion mark up.

What items is up to you. But I suggest looking into what the customers like and usually use and specialize in a few products to start.


Thanks for that suggestion :) I have found some (in my oppinion) items with possibility of getting a good profit, what I lack is having no idea how to safely fly through LS, nor having skills for Cov ops cloacking device, but I'll set it up as my priority.

If you join the faction war, you are blue to those in your militia. They (usually) do not shoot you and it makes low sec a bit more user friendly because you know somewhat who the good guys and bad guys are.

For those nuetral, pull up the profile. If they have negative sec status, they usually have a habit of shooting anything and everything.

Of course, this comes with caveats. You can be shot anywhere by the opposing faction even in high sec. Although, there are faction police so it is not as common. You will not be able to easily go to many areas of high sec including hubs. For example, being in Minnie FW or Gallante FW means no Jita.

Excellent idea, you will find that there are specialized cloaked transport ships. I'd advise you to 'start small' when dealing with lowsec, invest a portion of your ISK but not all of it at once. Mitigate risk by spreading it, don't put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. And get out of that NPC corp, what you want is a few actual buddies to supply. You'll find that interacting with people has far more benefits then mere ISK.

Yes, at first PI in hisec makes you wonder "why bother?" but once you get it maxed & all running POS fuel materials you'll be kicking yourself for not doing it sooner.

I'm slowly getting the grasp of how that works, however, right now I run 3 planets in 0.5 system (don't know if that information matters, because it's still HS) and it seems, that I can get like max of 700k ISKS per day, which gives me about 21mln per month, which is kind of crap :) I can get 21 mln by just mining for, I don't exactly know but maybe about 3-4 hours?

My factories produce Biofuels and Reactive Materials from 2 Barren and 1 Temperate planets. I know it's a start, but I'm quite lost what do next or what skills I should focus on more? Anyone could share some light please? :)

You need to do some more market research to determine what you want to produce. While it is easy to see what PI products can be combined with other PI products to create higher tier PI products (it's in the info tab of the product in question), there's nothing in game that you can search that directly tells you what you can manufacture with those products (besides randomly scanning through Blueprints).

There are a number of high-volume, high-consumption products that are produced through manufacturing with PI products. You just need to start looking to determine what those are. To get you started, a number of the components needed to create fuel blocks for Player Owned Stations are created through PI. Start there and start searching around. Additionally, go to a major trade hub and check out the long term historical prices of different products. Targeting your operations will go a long way to increase your profit.
