Get some Blueprints

Acquire the following BPCs and runs.

The easiest way to get these is from a BPC pack from Beaver's Capital BPC Store (opens in a new tab).

Get a Freighter BPC with ME-9 or ME-10. Because of rounding, with a T1 rigged structure, you don't get much gain from researching past ME-9. Your other components should be ME-10.

Buy one

You can buy this off of contracts. The going rate is about 50m per run, although higher ME is significantly better.

Invent one

Acquire a bunch of Providence BPCs. Any ME, it doesn't matter. You can buy your own BPO for 1.9b (opens in a new tab) from an NPC sell order, and copy it yourself, but IIRC the copy times are like 3+ days, even with proper rigs.

Inject and/or train the following skills to III. These skillbooks are each 20m each. You should already have Molecular Engineering to IV.

  • Amarr Starship Engineering III
  • Amarr Encryption Methods III

Invent with an Optimized Attainment decryptor.

These probabilities were generated from Ravworks (opens in a new tab). This can be a matter of taste, and you might be able to save a few hundred million by decrypting with Process, you'll burn through a lot of Providence BPCs trying to hit that 25% chance, and it takes about a week to roll the dice once.

Pick a GEZ

Find Kun'mi's GEZ spreadsheet in this thread (opens in a new tab) and pick a GEZ system to do your build.

There is no right answer here; some systems have T2 rigged structures instead of T1, but those tend to have higher industry indexes. It's quite nice to be a couple jumps away from 1DQ. NOFU (opens in a new tab) will ship directly to W-IX39 for a little bit more though. W-IX39 is also way out in Querious, so there's quite a bit of danger in that it would likely be the first to fall if we're invaded and once an industry job is started, you can't stop it.

Drop your BPCs in the appropriate structures

Fly around in a shuttle in your system with your blueprints. Dock up in each structure and look at the blueprint in the industry browser. If you mouse-over this bit, you'll see the bonuses applied. You want to make sure the rig bonus applies.
