 So you're new to Brave, maybe new to nullsec, or perhaps you are a returning player. But one thing is for certain, we all need ISK to blow up more ships! As an Alpha I'm going to try and teach some ways to make ISK as an Alpha. Obviously Omega clones may wish to use this but they have access to a greater sources of income (Planetary Interaction, Incursions etc.). I will go a bit more in-depth on how manufacturing and importing works but I will assume you know how to rat and mine and show you how to make money (I will try provide useful links) So you're new to Brave, maybe new to nullsec, or perhaps you are a returning player.

 So after you've mined your ores, you'll want to get them compressed, you can find which structures do so by using [[member:alliance:logistics:infrastructure]]. By doing so you will make it easier to transport (if you need to) and get more buck for your ore.// So after you've mined your ores, you'll want to get them compressed, you can find which structures do so by using [[member:alliance:logistics:infrastructure]].

 Generally you want to remembers your ABCs. That stands for Arkonor, Bistot, Crokite and Spodumain all of which are the most valuable ores in our systems. I will add that mining isn't the best ISK/hour but it can be enjoyable especially if there is a fleet or a group of miners.// Generally you want to remembers your ABCs.

 There is another type of mining kind of called gas huffing which I will talk about in the exploration section There is another type of mining kind of called gas huffing which I will talk about in the exploration section

-Whilst you rat, there will be wrecks from the ships you explode, these drop loot and can also be salvaged for more loot which is low volume and high cost. You will need to fit a salvager onto your ship to actually salvage the wrecks. Alongside this you will want a Mobile Tractor Unit which will pull in all wrecks within 125km and loot the wrecks (so you just need to loot the MTU for the loot), this means all the wrecks are nice and close for you to salvage. To sell your salvage look here [[member/alliance/programs/buybacks]] and find whatever one tickles your fancy, or you sell on the market.+Whilst you rat, there will be wrecks from the ships you explode, these drop loot and can also be salvaged for more loot which is low volume and high cost.

 Like in K-space you will find gas sites in wormholes which have more valuable gasses. But once you warp to a site, sometime after the 10 minute mark rats will spawn in the area. They can easily kill you so you'll want to warp to a safe spot as soon as this happens. Like in K-space you will find gas sites in wormholes which have more valuable gasses.

-Gas huffing is more profitable than mining in nullsec but you can get lost in wormholes aswell.

 This is a bit more fun, for me atleast. There's a few things to manufacturing and I'll hopefully go through them. This is a bit more fun, for me atleast. There's a few things to manufacturing and I'll hopefully go through them.
Line 80: Line 79:
 Research: As an Alpha you can only do time and material efficiency research of BPOs which reduces the time and materials to manufacture said item. Time to research gets exponentially longer per level, and Alpha's are locked to 1 research slot so if researching you may want to consider having alts. You can also buy researched BPOs via contracts. BPCs carry over the TE & ME of the BPO at the time of copying. Research: As an Alpha you can only do time and material efficiency research of BPOs which reduces the time and materials to manufacture said item.

-Manufactuing: The real stuff, here you actually produce the goods using BPOs/BPCs. Use [[member/alliance/logistics/infrastructure]] to find out what station has the best efficiency for what you want to produce. For minerals there are a few options: Import them yourself (don't recommend), buy them off the market in GE (cheaper than importing), use https://rihan.space/ where you can buy minerals for 100% Jita Sell which is usually as cheap as you can find. For making rigs you'll have to source your own salvage via buy orders or however else you can manage. Once you are ready go ahead and start the job to manufacture your goods.+Manufactuing: The real stuff, here you actually produce the goods using BPOs/BPCs.

 Selling: Since you want to make ISK you'll want to sell your goods on the market. HOPEFULLY, you have done some research on your products and have seen that you can make some profit. If you haven't...you ain't doing a good job are you? Try to produce in a market where you can make a profit and know you may have to reduce prices to combat others. Selling: Since you want to make ISK you'll want to sell your goods on the market.

 ===== Importing ===== ===== Importing =====
-This is slightly different from the rest. You don't need any skills, but you do need an alt in Jita or Amarr (I prefer Amarr, saves me hauling costs), and maybe about 100m to start up. When importing what you are doing is buying items in major trade hubs, importing them using http://www.trinity-x-industries.com/high-sec-services/ and [[public/alliance/logistics/jf/how-to-use]] and then selling them on the GE markets for a profit.+This is slightly different from the rest.

 You will have to do some research, I suggest looking at doctrine fits and checking the market to see what sells in volume and for profit. Another tip is to try fitting a few more items into your haul when using the calculator when importing goods using BLT since if you can fit more items in, your average cost per item will decrease and you can make more money! You will have to do some research, I suggest looking at doctrine fits and checking the market to see what sells in volume and for profit.

 Importing also has the added benefit of keeping the market nice and healthy which is good for us and our allies who use our market. Importing also has the added benefit of keeping the market nice and healthy which is good for us and our allies who use our market.
