Well i have started playing around with research/invention as well as my exploration fun.
Now id rather share the profits from this venture with the corp (which are none existant at the mo until i get used to the ins and outs)
I recently purchased a Cargohold Optimization I BPO, and then realised i dont have skills to do any work on it so that is my current aim, JUry Rigging III and whatever is needed (cant remember of top of my head) to start the efficiency research on that BPO.
Sometime down the road, 2months or so ill be ready to start making copies of the BPO, and/or producing and/or Invention (to try and get a Tech II BPC) The money lies in the Tech II Optimization rigs (check prices they are good)
My needs for this are ofc, minerals, datacores, encryptors, a reliable base which i can carry out my research work.
The latter being THE most important aspect, finding public space can be nigh impossible. SO we need a loose business plan to start with.
