If you can't make 10 blocks of fuel in considerably less than an hour, you're doing it very, very wrong.

Your basic gist is right, except the ISK/hr standard you're calculating against needs to be computed with how long it takes you to make the 10 blocks, not how fast the control tower eats them.

BTW, if you're planning to make your own fuel, of course you should get the race of control tower that matches where you are, so you get the right ice.

The POS fuel I make myself is free.Roll

Fuel blocks are worth 15-18k each. A small tower requires 10 blocks an hour. So it will cost 150k-180k isk per hour to run that tower. Now look at how much you would make in the amount of time it takes you to mine the ice and do the PI required to make those blocks, and compare it to the cost of fueling your tower off the market.

Now ask yourself if you would be better off buying off doing something else to earn the isk to buy fuel ofrom the market. If you can make more than 180k isk/hr, you're better off buying off the market.

HINT: If you can't make 180k isk/hr, you're doing it very wrong.

Keep in mind that POSes require matching racial fuel blocks, which require racial isotopes. If you are in Amarr space and using a Caldari tower, you will have to buy isotopes off the market anyway because there is no way to mine those Oxygen Isotopes in Amarr space. Isotopes make up 50-67% of the cost of fuel blocks, depending on market conditions.

My advice to you, is to just buy your blocks off the market.

im a miner, i can make 24m isk in 1 hour easy, so its better off just to buy it?
