Industry
This page is NOT LIVE and is under development, I'm getting it down while I have the thought in my head
This Section will be used to create an overview of Industry within Eve Online. Industry is an expansive topic within Eve and to newer players it can be overwhelming, as well as the possibility of being easily exploited by dubious players.
Seeing as entire books can be written on this subject, topics have been split into small chunks, so it can be easily absorbed, and to prevent an information overload.
Below is a catalogue of topics, that start from the easiest aspects of industry, and culminate in the more difficult, and cost heavy areas.
NOTE: Following is only a suggestion for a setup. Feel free to add or change the titles. I personally don't know enough about industry to know all the topics we need to cover in this one. --Celeste aserad 22:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Mining
Info and links regarding mining should go under here starting with basics and introduction and move to more advanced stuff
Mining is the profession of extracting ore from asteroids; these ores can then be refined into minerals which in turn are used in the production of all player created items in EVE, such as ships and modules. It is one of the few professions that is immediately available to beginning players and most EVE industrialists started their careers by mining. Mining is perhaps the most economically safe professions in EVE; losing mining ships or being podded is uncommon and minerals are always in demand. In its simplest form, mining can be accomplished by finding an asteroid site in a system and mining its asteroids with mining lasers.

Maybe a skill plan we have already figured out so that they can start training skills before following the guides
Skill suggestions at least.
The Beginning
So you want try you hand at mining, and want to get out of your 'noob' ship, so why not try here: My First Mining Ship
So you have tried mining and have got a taste for it, lets try out a: Mining Ship

Its time for the final step, you want to become a mining fleet master and for that you might just want: An Orca
And what about something different, then try Ice Mining
And in wormhole space and 0.0, there's Gas Mining
Heading into unprotected Low Sec space, then you will have to read this
Wanting to play in the null sec sandbox, then without a doubt read this to find which areas you are allowed to go as an E-Uni member and to increase your chances of survival
And finally if you want to know everything, down to the EXACT numbers then this guide written by Halada has been helping out miners for many years Halada's Complete Miner's Guide
Refining
Info and links regarding refining should go under here starting with basics and introduction and move to more advanced stuff
When you have some ore that you have been stacking, there is time to do something with them. You have two options: Either go sell them as is, selling them raw. Or you could refine them into valuable minerals.
Remember: in the beginning, DO NOT REFINE - KEEP STACKING. Since your skills are at the bottom, the wasteage would be so high that you could earn more money by selling them raw. If you need the money straight away, get someone else who has perfect refine AND that you fully trust, to refine them for you. If not, keep'em stacking.

Manufacturing
Info and links regarding manufacturing should go under here starting with basics and introduction and move to more advanced stuff
Manufacturing is in short to produce items from Blueprints and materials. This includes several complexed operations like Research, Copying, Invention and Reverse Engineering. New Eden is massive world with a huge population forming a hypercapitalistic marked. This means there is very limited state controlled production(NPC) of any kind. Every item you see in New Eden, is produced by another person like yourself.

Hauling
Info and links regarding hauling should go under here starting with basics and introduction and move to more advanced stuff Creating a Hauler Alt Overview info on hauling
Hauling is generally the act of moving things from A to B. Should be simple enough. New Eden is a busy world, and indeed a large one. Because of it's size and travelsickness, traveling far distances is something New Eden's population tries to avoid. Or they just might be lazy. Therefore there are many people willing to pay you a lot for moving their things from one place to another. When realizing the vast ammounts of money that can be made out of this, it gets interesting.

Trading
Info and links regarding trading should go under here starting with basics and introduction and move to more advanced stuff
Trading is all about selling high and buying low. Trading might be the quickest way to arise from the dust and enter the halls of the rich ones. However, there is a catch. It takes money to make money. Meaning you will need a couple of millions in your wallet before attending this.
