Why do PI at NSC?
Planetary Industry (PI) is a straightforward method of passive income generation with minimal investment of skills, ISK, and time.
The amount of resources available on a planet scales by two factors.
- The Security Status of a System will affect how abundant resources are on a planet. The lower the Security Status, the more resources there are.
- The number of factories operating on a planet will reduce the number of resources you have access to as the resources will be spread between everyone. The more people using that planet, the less it will make for you.
These two factors lead to the myth that PI just isn't worth the hassle. That myth comes from people who try to do PI in HiSec. In HiSec, you begin with planets that already have poor resources due to the high Security Status even before you have the unwashed masses sucking each planet dry for anything and everything, so the profit that you make is often really low. NullSec is different because the planets are rich in resources and the local traffic is very low, meaning we can easily turn a great profit for very little effort. Depending on the markets, very simple P0>P2 extraction planets can generate between 3-5M ISK a day. If you are running 5 planets, that is roughly 15-25M ISK or a fully fit T1 Cruiser, per day, for free.
With that in mind, why would anyone not want to do PI in NullSec if they are already living there? You should know that your return will depend on the markets, how often you micromanage your setup and how efficient your planets are. Your mileage will vary!
