Spreadsheet Fun!
Industry, the path I have played in eve for the past 10 years, involves building modules/equipment/ships from various raw materials. The complexity involved in this manufacturing process is unparalleled in other online games.
This image is a sample of one of the excel (or google docs) spreadsheets that I have created for the purpose of organizing materials, projecting profit margins, identifying material bottlenecks, etc.
These spreadsheets develop over the years and will go through several iterations. Some functions can be replaced with specialized programs that have been developed by the community, written for the purposes of industry in EVE. I personally choose to use the spreadsheet because I like the flexibility that I have, being able to control every aspect of it.
