Lately I have been thinking of going into the T2 ship invention business. I have a bunch of points stacked up for datacores. Also have all the skills needed, up to cruisers to build them. So I am all set to go.<\/p>\n
Only thing that is holding me back is the entry price, the esoteric ship data interface<\/u>, which costs about 120mil. It is sort of an investment though. Like a POS you can assume, unless CCP changes the drop rate of the bpc, that you can sell it again for about the same price.<\/p>\n
Regardless of that I was wondering if there is actual any ISK to be made. Here are some calculations for a Kitsune, a t2 electronic warfare frig.<\/p>\n

The Kitsunes go for about 14mil in and around Jita. So on face value that would be 7mil prophit a unit. BUT, the success rate of frig invention is 40%, so let’s say you need about 1mil worth of datacores. For T2 cruisers like Recons and Hacs, this drops down to about 30%, and you need more datacores to invent at all (8 even instead of 2 for frigs). <\/p>\n And ofcourse you need BPCs to invent, running a POS costs money as well, but thats a bit hard to calculate, if you’re lucky you also can make some money by copying your BPOs, and use some for invention on the side<\/p>\n So what am I going to do ?<\/em> Well for now, I am just going to think about it for a while. It’s also a lot of hassle, once you have a few blueprints to get all the parts together, plus it doesnt seem to be really worth it, for just a few mil profit per unit sold. I haven’t looked \/ calculated the costs of other T2 ships yet, but I doubt they’re much more profitable than the above example.<\/p>\n Let me know what you think in the comments, and if I overlooked anything :).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lately I have been thinking of going into the T2 ship invention business.
