If we performed production in 0.0 then we would be able to mine the minerals ourselves.
All ore types can be found in 0.0 and in good volumes. - it's really about effort and coordination.
Dreads sell for around 1.8B isk (give or take) - carriers for around 860M - median empire market prices.
The main costs (outside of the corp mineral purchase programme) would be for the BPC's needed to cover those that we don't own.
I am developing and reestablishing contacts with BPC producers to cover that angle but current market/contract costs for the Cap Parts with a 5-run BPC with decent ME/PE is around 4m.
For a Dread you're looking at between 39 & 44 BPCs (excluding those we own) - giving a purchase cost of 156M - 176M for the BPCs of the parts.
The ship BPC's are obviously more - 70-120M depending on the ship type (dread/carrier).
Finger in the air estimates of profit (a number of factors are involved so it's a rough prediction using Excel) would be between 600m & 1000m per ship produced with an approx, depending on PE, construction time of 10 days - Beo is the accounts dept, I just work on roughly how feasable things are.
The only extra requirement would be for the manufacturers to have Capital Ship Construction lvl 3 (2 days training from the lvl 1 they have already). Obviously the more Part BPO's we have the better. Part BPOs are better than the ship BPOs to start with. It's a recurring cost per ship and flexible in that one part can be used on multiple ships. When we have the BP it's just a matter of making 5-run BPCs from the BPO in short bursts (2 copies at a time due to the copy time). Anything longer than 2 runs and the BPO can be locked in the lab for a week.
Thinking of 0.0 - depending on the region I have most of the parts & fuel to setup a POS on one of my chars - I think essentially missing only the tower. I would have to check to determine if any fuel was missing based on the tower we setup. The POS would be of course a MADDI POS.
With a few long term investments paying dividends - I have recently purchased for the corp another part BPO which gives us now the Capital Construction Parts & Capital Cargo Bay. This is a long way from what's needed of course but another step in the right direction.
With one of the new contacts I've made and some research - I've also identified an opportunity for the corp to make very decent ISK manufacturing bombs.
I've purchased a pack of Bomb BPC's (6 bomb types) with decent stats (ME:100, PE:25) and runs (300 runs each).
In a similar fashion to ammo - each run produces 3 bombs. Each bomb sells for between 5 & 7m ISK each (6M avg used).
This gives us a production cost of 8.4m (based on the Corp Mineral Purchase Programme) and an income of 18M per run.
With 1800 total runs available and 5400 bombs produced the corp will net approx 17.2B ISK (excl taxes) - which should be enough to purchase a complete researched set of Capital Construction Part BPOs.
