Planetary Industry at the NSC: Difference between revisions

Line 16: Line 16:
The combination of these two factors can lead newer players to believe that PI just isn't worth the hassle. However, this holds only true for PI in High-Sec. As planets in High-Sec already have poor resource density to begin with due to the higher System Security, as well as a significantly higher number of actual players being set up to extract resources per planet, the profit available through PI in High-Sec is often very low. On top of that comes the 10% NPC [[Tax#Planetary import/export tax|tax]] for import/export that is specific to High-Sec and comes on top of the tax charged by the corporation owning the Customs Office of each planet. While this NPC tax can be lowered with the {{Sk|Customs Code Expertise}} skill, we do not recommend training this skill or setting up Planetary Industry in High-Sec except for learning purposes.

If you are considering Planetary Industry as a serious income source, we recommend considering setting up your PI in EVE University's Null-Sec staging area of [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Syndicate/PC9-AY#jumps24 PC9-AY]. The resources available on a wide variety of planets in the NPC Null-Sec staging area of EVE University are rich and the local traffic of hostiles is relatively low, meaning you 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.

With that in mind, your profits can be significantly higher or lower depending on the markets, which PI you chose to produce and how often you are willing to reset your extractors or micromanage your setup.
