My char Constantine is research/invention and manufacturing (which im working on making uber) as well as exploration (finger in every pie). Only prob is i think that we need a direction. Ships? Modules? Rigs? now the reasons why i need to know which direction to send my training down is that although i have most of the necessary skills (spent 50 Mill isk today on books) i need a path for my plan instead of my usual "ooh shiney" approach.
IF we choose to go down the manufacturing route (ill be doing it alone if not for the corp
) Then its not just the manufacturers that make the cash. as the corp will then buy ores, minerals and salvage from the members giving you guys a decent price without having to play the markets too much.
Invention really goes hand in hand with manufacturing, its the only way (now) of getting T2 BPCs.
Research allows making any BPOs that are owned more efficient in materials and time, and allows Copies to be made of those sweet expensive BPOs that can be sold.
As with most things in Eve the miners are THE people that keep all of this moving without the demand for ores being met nothing can be made.
Without researchers running R&D agents no Invention can go on as Datacores are a must for that operation.
Explorers can also find datacores, BPs, hidden Asteroid belts that can conmtain roids not normally seen in that region.
Now we could stick to Mining/Refining but that isnt really where the money is, i dont want a small slice of the pie but by myself (and anyone of us on our own) that is all im going to get in the short term. i see us working together for mutual gain to make us ALL rich so we can buy the toys we want, train the skills we want, fly that cool ship you just have to fly.
Everyone can help no matter what there skillset is aimed at, shooty types run missions, raising corp standing getting us closer to the day when we can run a POS in hi-sec, meaning no more queueing for manufacturing/ invention space at those damn public stations.
So i guess my question is this : Do i make stuff on my own keeping all the profits and expanding my own solo enterprise? or do we as a Corp decide together on a direction? find that space in the market for us, mutually benefiting from that, and carve our own space in Eve, we may be (fairly) new on the scene but that doesnt mean we cant aim big.
