*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 ~~amount~~ of factories operating on a planet will reduce the ~~amount~~ 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.

*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.

==Recommended Skills==

These are the recommended skills for successfully conducting PI at the NSC. You will only ''need'' the recommended skills, however the advanced skills are definitely worth the train in the long run. The recommended PI skills will allow you to build 5 P0>P2 planets in the NSC backpocket, while the advanced PI skills will allow for a 6th planet, and the required upgraded Command Center, that can be used for a P4 production planet. The recommended ship skills will allow you to fly the standard E-UNI WH/NullSec Epithal fit. The Epithal is the preferred PI industrial due ~~it's~~ unique planetary commodities cargo hold. The advanced ship skills will increase the survivability of the Epithal and the ~~amount~~ of PI materials that it can carry.

Fitted cheaply and with only basic skills needed to fly it, it makes for the perfect PI hauler in NullSec. The one issue with the Epithal is that ~~it's~~ regular cargo hold is not big enough to carry a Planetary Command Center, therefore you will need another Industrial ship for this. Use an unfit Industrial from the Corp Hangers for this, and return it once you have deployed the Command Centers.

==What to Manufacture?==

Now that we have the required skills and an Epithal for moving our goods around, we need to choose what to produce with our PI planets. When it comes to what to produce, there is no single right or wrong answer. The markets and the demand for certain goods do change, however ~~there are~~ three broadbrush groups of PI commodities ~~that~~ do turn a solid profit.

To make the most money from PI, you should look at both at the local market and the Jita market ~~and~~ compare what items are selling fast with the items are selling for more ISK. If you find something that is both quick selling and for a higher than normal amount, that is the product to manufacture.

*Open up the Extractor Control Unit. What we need to achieve here is a {{co|coral|program output higher than 12,000 Units per hour to achieve maximum efficiency}}. You longer that you set the Extraction Area Size (This is the amount of time that the planet will run for) the less the per hour output will be. The more Extractor Head Units that you use, the higher the per hour output will be. Do this for both Extractor Control Units, making sure you are extracting the required P0 resource. Play around here, see what works, but generally 4 Extractor Heads and a 1 day Extraction Area Size should be more than enough to achieve maximum efficiency in NullSec. Always try to aim for as much as you can per hour though, as this will leave a surplus supply of P0 resources in your Storage Facilities that will allow the planet to continue to produce P2 if you are a couple of hours late to reset it, or just forget entirely.

*Now is the tricky bit. We need to create routes to ensure that our products flow correctly between the various Industry Facilities ~~and~~ and up as P2 commodities in our Launchpad. Unfortunately this cannot ~~really~~ be shown with images.

====One Planet P0>P2 - Commander Center Upgrades V====

We will assume that, after setting up the above 5 times, that by the time someone has trained Commander Center Upgrades V that they have a solid understanding of how the process works.

Command Center Upgrades V allows us to add 2 additional Basic Industry Facilities and ~~1 addition~~ Advanced Industrial Facility. This will increase the productivity of the Planet by 33%. To achieve maximum efficiency, the {{co|coral|Extractor Control Units will need to be running at 18,000 Units per Hour}} to keep up with the increased demand. You will likely need to drop to 3 Extractor Heads on one resource to have enough space to fit the Advanced Industrial Facility. With some ~~re-positioning~~ of the Extractor Control Units closer to the main site, you can free up some fitting space by reducing the lengths of the links between the Extractor Control Units and the Storage Facility, which should allow you to place that fourths Extractor Head back out. It takes a little effort to get the positing right and can be fiddly, but at an increase of 33% ~~is definitely~~ is worth it to get it right.
