Silkworm factory in The Wall profitable?

Greetings

Recently I started to think about placing a silkworm factory in The Wall. Often I heard that missile fabs can be very profitable selling at max price to equipment docks. Unfortunately my first try at this (Wasp factory in paranid prime) was a total fiasco.
Maybe someone knows if a silkworm fab in The Wall might do better?
Just thought I might ask before doing a several million dollar investment.

Thanks in advance for any information.

It will sell......slowly.

Try Two Grand or Shareholders Fortune instead.

It was very profitable for me in the Rolk's Drift, because of argon and teladi traders. I can't see why it should be different in The Wall.

Edit: In the future check equipment docks surrounding your would-be factory site and check what kind of missiles they need - iirc paranid docks don't trade wasps.

Ore Belt has 3 Equipment Docks within 2 jumps. I would build my fab (loop?) right there.

First I need some money to build another project, then I do the above.

try in Argon Prime, good AI defences and the shipyard, wharf, and equipment dock should buy them.

try a mix of missile fabs (only one of each type if i were you) and satelite fabs ect.

check out what they buy and try and match that.

dont do the larger weapons though (anything above IRE) coz they dont give a steady profit

Or if you want to build in the wall you should try Paranid Soyery.
Have 6 at the moment selling at max price and they are allways soldout.
Dont even need ships to sell wares

Thanks everyone for the input.

Guess I will try the wall then. Already got a "private" spp there and lots of other factories, plus my own sector defence. Besides that it has got 3 equipment docks within 2 jumps as well, even 5 within 3 jumps. Getsu fune would have a better customer-base, but I haven't "industrialised" that part of the universe yet.

Regarding the Paranid, they do sell/buy wasp missiles, but despite my otherwise good relations with them they decided to not like my missiles

Thanks again for all the input.

On a side note:
My Silkworm Factory in Akeela's Beacon is more profitable that my Crystal Fab.

Basicly it doesn't matter where the fab is located. If people need your products they WILL buy from you. Even my Quantum Tube Fac in AB is keepin up with my crystal fab
