Most players will therefore want to have the required skills at least at III before attempting the invention process, and having them at IV will help to increase the chances of success. Many players doing T3 Invention will also use decryptors such as Attainment or Parity to increase the chances of success further. | Most players will therefore want to have the required skills at least at III before attempting the invention process, and having them at IV will help to increase the chances of success.

This is the final part of the process where the BPC that were invented previously are used to manufacture the Tech 3 hulls and subsystems using the Hybrid Tech Components. The Production interface will look familliar: | |||

Tactical Destroyers, Strategic Cruisers and Subsystems are created using invented BPC and Hybrid Tech Components. In addition Tactical Destroyers and Strategic Cruiser require R.A.M.- Starship Tech, for which the BPO is sold by NPCs in k-space. | |||

Tech 3 subsystems and hulls can me manufactured in any Citadel or Engineering Complex with a Standup Manufacturing Plant I service module online. Rigs exist that can speed up the process or increase material efficiency. These are | |||
* For Tactical Destroyer, Advanced Small Ship Manufacturing | |||
* For Subsystems, Advanced Component Manufacturing (same rig as for manufacturing Hybri d Tech Components) | |||
* For Strategic CCruisers, Advanced Medium Ship Manufacturing | |||
A Tech I and Tech II version of these rigs exist. The usual skill, implants and Facility bonuses also apply. | |||
The actual production process works like any T1 industry job: | |||

T3 ships are therefore very expensive, with prices for a hull and all four subsystems | As you are now in no doubt, T3 construction is one of the most complex manufacturing process in EVE. Most of the T3 production activity in EVE used to be carried out by wormhole-based corporations at their own structures in w-space, although a fair amount is now done by sov null based corporations. The skill requirements to manufacture Tech 3 ships are also high, and the large volume of material to move is logistically challenging. | ||
Tech 3 ships are therefore very expensive, with prices for a Strategic Cruiser hull and all four subsystems around the 250m - 300m ISK mark (as of December 2018). With a good set-up, the production of Tech 3 ships and subsystem can however be profitable, but this likely won't be the first thing the new Industrialist will try. | |||
