Setting up - The Manufacturer

This can be an Alt character on your first account or a trusted friend.
If you have a friend interested then send a "Buddy Invite email". You will get a free 30 days on your account when they pay for their first subscription.
You reward them by sending ISK for their training books.




This pilot has a shorter training plan and less maintenance than the previous one. It will be of the same race as the Trader to avoid long a tedious relocation trips.

Get a Training Plan to Production Manager Basic Certificate for 8 hours and 520,000 ISK of Skill Books. Transfer this amount from your Trader.
You can do the Industry Tutorials while waiting for this training.

If using an Alt in your first account then interrupt training of your Main when you have at least the Business Mogul Certificate.
Only one character can train at anyone time.

Then Plan to at least Production Manager Standard Certificate for 17 days and 10.5 millions ISK.

If you made the right choice of system and station then this pilot will not need a ship at all. It will just get the needed minerals from the trader, manufacture the goods and deliver them to the Trader to be sold.

Using Blueprints and minerals given from the Retailer start manufacturing bulk runs of items.
Note the time required for production and log on to get deliveries and give the finished products to the retailer.
This can be done in only a few minutes every day.

At this stage you will start having some problems with transfering goods between pilots. The answer is to have a Corporation hangar to store those goods. See the CEO page for more info.
Having a Corporation makes it easier to transfer equipment but costs ISK a month to rent the office. Variable costs depending on the system.


But first save enough ISK to fund the next Alt pilot.
