is it cheaper to launch your goods into orbit or is it cheaper to pay the tax and spaceport launch to a customs office?

You can only launch a small volume each time. Launching may be cheaper, I'm not sure but it's a pain in the ass to do a large volume.

The idea you ought to be after isn't what's cheapest, but what's most lucrative--especially over the long term if you plan to stick with PI.

Unless you've somehow hit the gravy train such that you're making scads of ISK off of small amounts of PI product (read: product you can fit entirely into one or two launchpad deliveries), there's no good reason not to build a spaceport.

Mind the taxes on the POCO before you build up on a planet, skill up to lower the tax rate and have at it.

Good luck.

I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn

If only there was some sort of thing you could do with numbers that would let you figure this out... like... maybe basic addition. Careful, there may be a multiplication symbol, but that is really just lots of additions at once.

If you can't compare two numbers, i'm sure the local grade school has people who can tell who which number is bigger.




reason i ask its not that im math disabled, its just i dont have enough cpu/pg for a spaceport and also im only launching in small quantitys. i just wanted to know if it would be more cost effective to launch using a spaceport if anyone has did the math already

not like you have to reply. if its not your cup of tea then please stay on topic

Alright it seems that for 95 superconductors it costs almost exactly the same, so i bet wit appropriate relations and tax reduction skillst the launch pad will cost less
