[random drive-by thread comment] Don't forget someone mentioned wanting to do manufacturing as well[/random drive-by thread comment]
That gets complicated. There are
eleven different types of manufacturing arrays depending on what you want to build. A basic "modules only" array with 6 slots takes up 150 CPU and can reasonably be worked into previous examples. But here is the relevant quote:
that might be enough for me for now... also my manufacturing skills are very high 
im working on getting capital ship stuff
and not long off skilling for that also if people make tech 2 blueprints and don't mind me buying them for mates rates 
Need to know what you want to build. In particular, you say you're skilling up for capitals...but capital ships can't be built in highsec, so there's no point trying to accomodate that. I'm willing to re-do the examples with specifics, but to do that I need to know what the requirements are.
We could, for example, trade out one lab and some defense for three manufacturing arrays and get something like this:
* Caldari Small tower
* 1 basic labs, 1 advanced lab, 1 module manufacturing array, 1 ammo man. array, 1 small ship man. array, 4 ECM, 1 warp scrambler
* Lab Slots: 4 copy, 5 ME, 3 PE, 7 invention
* Manfuacturing slots: 6 for modules, 5 for ammunition, 10 for fighters/frigates/destroyers
* Fuel costs: 3 million ISK/day
That all fits on a caldari small tower, though doing so leaves very little powergrid for guns. If we want anything more than that, we pretty much have to go medium.
Just
remember that our cost estimates so far have only counted costs for the tower itself. Even if we only go with only a small tower, our current ~380 million fund is not enough to buy everything in the above example. if we go medium, yes that gives us more room for future expansion, but it's going to be future expansion and not things we have on day one.
Checking Jita prices now:
* Small control tower: 72 to 75 million
* Medium control tower: 152 to 155 million
* Basic lab: 77 million
* Advanced lab: 118 million
* Ammo assembly array: 6 million
* Module assembly array: 42 million
* Small ship assembly array: 78 million
If we want to go big...that's fine, we can go big. We're raised nearly 400 million in just a week. Maybe this is totally not an issue and we can afford to to go big. I just want everyone to understand what we're getting into.
