If we are to pick one of cap and t3 I would be more inclined to go towards t3 since I think the potential profit there is far greater for us than in cap production. However it would require we get in from the start so we would get the bpo's for components researched to a high me/pe level and so on.

The blueprints drop as BPC's.

Are you sure??
Found this on the eve-o forums (which of course doesn't mean that it is right)
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1025413

I made the same mistake as the guy in that thread it seems.  So there are some BPO's for T3 stuff :)

Aye but the important BP's (subsystems and hulls) are always BPCs - which means you can manufacture/stockpile materials with the choke point being the materials and the "end-product" BPCs.

Cap production skill wise is the easiest for us, as we have already all the skill needed in that sector and we have the rocks nearby for production.

Tech 2 uses a HUGE variety of skills and whilst i have most of the sciences these arent trained past 1 or 2 mostly (apart from graviton mech eng and caldari starship that is)

Tech 3 manufacturing skills are just plain nuts, dont believe me search contracts for a BP and have a look

p.s. is the corp interested in my T2 salvage ;) the salvage sites in 0.0 drop T2 and its not on prices if not ill sell it open market.

Which direction involves blowing up other players ships the most?

My prodction/miner started on the road of T2/T3 construction - while he has some of the skills - he doesn't have all.
He has about 30d left for training on them but he's been diverted for about 30d so he can also fly & use the Rorqual (he has the skills already to use the Compression BPs - so it would be nuts to sidetrack Red into getting them currently).

When he can use the Rorqual - then I'll put him back on the T2/T3 route.  

I believe he can currently make the Electronic and Defensive Subsystems but I'd have to check to be sure.

Piracy - killing wormholers and stealing their loot (helps with t3 :D)

Shooting caps - then selling people caps :)

Killing hostiles generally and salvaging their wrecks (needs salvaging to a decent lvl for T2 ships)

say that again , stumbled across an abandoned wreck near a gate and so set about it with my single Salvager, with salvaging at 3 took easily 5-10 mins to salvage from the wreck but the T2 salvage components recieved were worth it ;)

Weighing in with my support for a dialogue to be opened formally with Event Horizon :)

Arcane are too crumbly and really come across as lamer than the sum of their parts when it comes to fighting Puppets and anyone that even looks at them funny!

Ok - so to summerize this tread regarding direction - the general thinking appears to be:

1) Cap Ship Construction
2) Tech 3
3) Tech 2

In order of general priorities - not that these are exclusive but general wayposts.

I think that seems to be the "simplest" and most efficient way to make ourselves matter :)

Was thinking a bit.
We lose lots of minerals/cash to refining so would a longer term goal for us perhaps be to get a outpost of our own with a refinery?
Would give us a probably much cheeper refine and a added source of minerals in the tax for others.

Of course I have no idea if that would be allowed or profitable but as a long term goal I mean.
