Is that assuming the ice and PI are free to you?

I believe it says "Two hours of Ice Mining".

PI is maybe an hour.

No such thing as 'free', so why ask nonsense?

What he means is, are you accounting for the opportunity cost? Would you make more just selling the PI stuff (or making other PI stuff) and selling the ice/refined ice?

I imagine you're using two accounts or more to mine and move the ice? Two accounts you could be doing something else with and making more money per hour. You need to account for this, and I can't tell if you did.



PI and ICE are worth crap. You KNOW this.

PI + ICE = Fuel Blocks = WIN Profits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you guys THINK WAY TOO HARD about this game. Do you really have any fun ??
"Opportunity cost". Really ??


Like every other game, there are min/maxers. If you could have made more isk selling the ice and PI, then you made less isk making blocks than you could have. That was my only question. You seem to think you made "WIN profits" but perhaps you only made "win profits" or really "lost isk vs the guy that just sold stuff instead".



The 2 Orca's of refined Ice Products and the necessary PI to make 100 Runs (4000 Fuel Blocks) would sell for about 42,000,000 in Jita.

Transforms into 98,000,000 + in Fuel Blocks in Jita.

I totally agree that if you can't make a billion a month profit a month you have no business running a tower. However being the care bear that I am I am always looking for ways to tighten expenses and maximize profit.

the most profitable piece of the fuel equation at the moment is Ice mining. I for one won't get into that because it's way too boring.

The planetary piece of Fuel is profitable but not as profitable as my current planet configuration. So going into fuel is not the best option for me.

It's easy enough to make fuel blocks from items purchased and that does save about 2 to 8% of the cost. Here is hoping that CCP finds a way to make mining worth it and ice mining fun.
