The Revenue Streams of Null Sec and Alliances

Broadly, the revenue streams you will know are of two types: diffuse or point. They can be further categorized into Active or Passive.

A Diffuse Active source is the corporation taxes many of you may be used to in your own corporation. Here you are providing your corp with income from something you are actively doing, like hunting NPC pirates or reprocessing loot and ores in their stations.

A Diffuse Passive source would be the assembly line fees in a station, profits on manufacturing, for example, where it is a largely passive or low input activity providing diffuse income over a typically longer period.

Point Active sources in days gone by would have been things like the static 10/10 complexes. Point Passive are the moon mineral incomes or T2 production in pre-invention times.
