Is is more profitable to build a Carrier from BPCs or BPOs? That question was the initial spark that started my interest in capital production in 2011. Using a BPC copy pack from the market was hardly profitable so I made a plan to own and operate a set of capital BPOs.
Over time as profits started to materialize, more BPOs were purchased to round out production queues. Carrier success then started to bleed into Dreadnought production. With the upcoming industry changes in the Crius expansion, the fate of my capital operation is unknown so I have paused the project.
Here are the final numbers for almost 3 years (2.93 to be exact) of capital production. Note that Dreadnought production was a recent addition, only starting in mid-2013. Special tribute goes to my industry partner, Raath, as he was the lead on this massive project.
tl;dr Build Naglfars and Archons.
Sales
Performance
Naglfar sales in Delve outperformed all other types and regions yet showed the most standard deviation.
The Naglfar outperformed every other hull type when it came to profitability per time period. This is due to the balance update it received in the Odyssey update where it became a viable doctrine ship. The Archon, due to the popularity of the Slowcat doctrine, was also solid performer.
Sagain Kickout Station
Posted: 2013-02-22 Filed under: eveonline, ships | Tags: catch, khanid, providence, querious, sagain, stain, tash-murkon 1 CommentThe Sagain Lowsec system in the Tash-Murkon region is a major hub for jump capable ships as it allows you to reach Khanid, Querious, Stain, Catch, and the majority of Providence within one jump with Jump Drive Calibration V. Since Sagain is also a Lowsec station system that connects to contiguous Highsec, it is popular for Jump Freighter pilots as a midpoint connection into Highsec.
The system has two stations that can be used for cyno traffic. Sagain VIII – Moon 11 – TransStellar Shipping Storage is a Gallente station that has excellent cyno placement opportunities while the other station, Sagain V – Inherent Implants Biotech Production, is much more problematic due to its shape and how Eve handles object barriers.
Sagain VIII – Moon 11 – TransStellar Shipping Storage
Sagain V – Inherent Implants Biotech Production
All objects in the Eve universe have a sphere around them that dictates their physical barrier. With the Gallente station being flatter and in a curve shape with a large section missing, you undock within the sphere barrier and can dock immediately. As shown here you are well within the station’s edge sphere when undocking.
TransStellar Shipping Storage Undock
The design of the Amarr station pushes you out the bottom and right out of 0 docking range — hence the ‘kickout’ nickname for stations of this type.
Even with my speedy shuttle that issued a stop command after undocking, I was at 1,000 m on the station after the space environment rendered and ultimately ended up 3,300 m after reaching a full stop.

Be careful when choosing a station for cyno activity by keeping the geometry of the station in mind. You don’t want to end up like these careless Jump Freighter pilot that I can only assume used the wrong station and got bumped out of docking range after undocking.
