Margarite Liberte's Engineering Career in Eve Online.

After owning an Iteron Mark III for a week or two Margarite checked the price of blue prints for these ships. She was also inspired by other corp members who told her the corp has no blue prints beyond Frigates. She wants to improve the corp so she plans to buy this blue print. The Iteron is an industrial ship used for its large cargo space. The blue print is 6 million ISK. The selling price of the ship to the blue print cost ratio is very good. The price of minerals to build the Iteron Mark III from the blue print is about 0.5 million ISK

Margarite has calculated that if she makes 20 of these Iteron's she will make back her investment in the blue print. The profit is almost 50% on a sale to materials cost difference.

She has so far today bought almost all the rarer minerals for these twenty ships. The remaining minerals she needs for the ship will all be mined. The minerals Tritanium and Pyerite are both selling slightly better than average right now and she needs this sale ISK to buy the blue print. So she plans to mine these and other minerals and sell these two minerals to make enough ISK to buy the blue print. Then she must continue mining to get enough of these minerals for the twenty ships. She traveled through 24 systems including two 0.4 security systems to get the cheapest prices for the rarer minerals. She spent close to 2 Million ISK for these minerals. Because the market cost of the minerals to build 20 ships is 11 million ISK she must mine 9 million worth of the other minerals. Add the cost of the blue print from mining minerals and she must mine 17 million ISK worth of minerals.
