This thread has derailed into a Null vs High-sec discussion, but to answer the OP...

The reason null alliances don't typically recruit industry-only corps is because only two things matter:
1) Having FCs with the confident to lead fleets
2) Having enough active PvPers that join fleets to make them successful

If you want to survive, you have to win fights. Simple as that. Null alliances can always import from high sec and PvPers will always find a way to afford buying their ship if they think the fights are worth it, so having a null-based local supply of cheaper ships isn't a high priority. The only exception to this is supercaps because they can only be produced in 0.0, but even PL managed to amass the largest supercapital fleet in the game while not holding any sov for more than 3 years straight.


Pretty much this.

Individual industrialists would likely have an easier time going to null...or you could even try to join an existing null corp as a group and still work together, but you have to be willing to fight in null.

That, ultimately, is the bottom line, fight or GTFO.
