Is there a way to allow the Thukker Component Assembly Array to be anchored in NPC nullsec that does not get the benefits of being SOV nullsec? Join [FIGL] Flying Dangerous Today! |

Can you confirm they will only be allowed to be anchored in lowsec and not nullsec?
Dude, just read the dev blog:
As we mentioned some time ago, we are also going to introduce a new type of Component Assembly Array to help low-security Capital ship builders to compete with the reprocessing changes. This structure will give 25% reduction in manufacturing time, 10% reduction in manufacturing required materials and may only be anchored in low-security solar systems.
It's incredibly clear to anyone interested in building capital ships that it will ONLY be anchorable in lowsec.
The picture of it even says "Restricted to security level greater than 0.1" |

CCP has mentioned some 'big change' for rorquals that should motivate pilots to fly them beyond just running ganglinks from a pos, including some incentive to actually put the ship in the belt. Sounds pretty ambitious, and I'm expecting something completely underwhelming, but hopefully I'm wrong. |

Reading through this thread, it appears that POS jobs will have an ISK-sink/payment to NPC cost requirement per job. I believe the multiple arrays will reduce that cost.
Jobs that are run at an NPC station will have an additional 10% tax added on to the total job cost as well as not being able to benefit from the multiple array bonus.

If you allow people to take advantage of a 26% build cost advantage without having to risk 13 arrays of the same type because they can offline and unancher then during the job they will do it. they will get freighters with 12 arrays ready and do it every job.
I don't mind the bonus but i do if you can dodge the risk.
In an earlier post I mentioned the idea of changing from 13 arrays to a single array that had to be upgraded (13 times). This mechanic would prevent the hack you are describing here.

No problem with these stacking benefits. Maybe have a more logarithmic scaling factor instead of linear, but otherwise it's good.
I don't think anyone is going to go crazy onlining/offlining stuff at a whim just to save a few ISK. The difference will be whether people will scale down to small towers or keep running large ones. ISK for fuel vs. ISK in saving install costs kind of a deal.

So... any news yet on the Rorqual since you're pretty much screwing them over with the compression changes? Like... you guys have any ideas where you are wanting to head with it? Or are you just gonna leave it as it is for years until you decide something should be done about it like 90% of the crap you do in game?
And yes... I'm bitter. |

This makes a bit more sense. Treat it like a Command Center that has upgrade levels. Anchoring 13 of these things seems a bit silly.
It is also comical that a POS can't build its own POS modules.
I can't say if this is good or not, but its... just odd.
It forces people to mass produce these things for the sole purpose of anchoring them... its.. Wonky. Stabbers are totally broken

Understandable. I don't quite see what would cause a fleet to commit a billion isk Rorqual to an asteriod field, unless they decide to give it a reinforce timer like a POS.
Rorqual comes to asteriod belt with friends, begins mining. Has massive bay for collecting the ores.
Enemy gang comes in, kills friends and attack rorqual. Rorqual hits Autobot Transformation mode and reinforces itself for an hour. Enemy gang hangs out waiting for Rorqual to drop out of Reinforce Mode. Friendly's come in and kills gang, Rorqual drops out, everybody continues mining.
Or nobody comes and Rorqual Dies Comically.
I'm just blowing smoke out my Tuccus. Stabbers are totally broken

As i see it there is always a cost for hiring a team, even a standard one without bonuses and it depends on how much is produced in the system. this is also where the 26% reduction is deducted from. if you produce from a station there is an additional tax. If you produce from a pos there is no tax but a pos discount. |

well... yes.
Some global job cost scaling effect with modifiers from local system manufacturing job numbers.

Thank the real architects of this, the null sec cartel CSM reps. They have created a monstrosity that is now some complicated, so nuanced, that only the ones that are deeply involved, deeply committed, will profit. To suggest this new system is simpler than the current system is just Orwell-speak.
This is the death of the high sec casual industrialist, as designed. Oh, and those same high sec casuals all have alt corps ready to go when the inevitable war dec grief appears.
Just brilliant design. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |

Yes, as far as I can tell. I guess there was the need for an additional ISK sink? The market reaction should be interesting to say the least.

I think many are forgetting where eve is heading storyline wise.
I've ready many posts about the faction standings no longer being taken into account being "game breaking" or "taking away from the immersion"
Remember capsuleers have defied the empire factions and are starting to do their own thing. This is another step in that direction in which the empire rules no longer matter.
Not necessarily agreeing with the stacking bonuses and mass components needed. I think the POS UI changes should've come first then have the ability similar to Outposts and install upgrades instead of having a ton of items floating around in space. Or having the POS work like ship fitting works to allow easier configuration and management of the POS. I can see steps going towards that direction just wonder of this 'enhancement' / change was a little cart before the horse.
Being a past industrialist I can agree with some of the insight and concerns brought up in regards to high sec industrialists. You have a good portion of your play base that just wants to run missions and or build something from the ground up. This puts more emphasis in high sec wars for the chances to get shiny BPO drops from POS bashing rather than fixing 0.0 sov mechanics and getting the fights out in lawless space. Empire space, even with the story line / developmental change should still be relatively safe for those that choose to play this game on a casual level.
Should be interesting to see how this plays out post-crius. |

Those high sec players that you describe, particularly those liked to dabble in industry, are finished. Sure, they can make some product at who knows what cost, but there is zero chance of them being competitive with null sec or low sec hard core players.

there are plenty of things out there with high margins and low overall profit, often more than 30%. Those will remain profitable in highsec :)
the more advanced stuff and the more expensive stuff will move out to null. good changes :)

I would hope the objective isn't to get the casual player base to purchase a bunch of alt accounts. The true player base of EVE is currently convoluted with all the alts running around. I hope CCP is considering the balance of these and future changes to not force the casual player into the more complex / complicated dynamics that come with this game. It will alienate a certain segment of the player base and this is not good for the game and definitely not good for business. |

So what does that give me now? A good hand shake.. now any Tom **** or Hairy Gallentee scum can put up a tower in Caldari Space.. Also I feel like as a newly minted solo POS owner I'm getting F@#$#@ed. |

Previously, we would queue jobs in manufacturing/research slots when we ran out of empty slots, or because we were only allowed to use certain slots, or just out of consideration for the next guy.
Now, there will be a cost for installing jobs which presumably increases as the number of parallel/simultaneous jobs increase.
Will it be possible to run, say, 5 simultaneous job queues of two 12-hour jobs per queue instead of 10 simultaneous jobs at 12 hours each? This means 5 jobs would complete in 12 hours and the other 5 jobs would complete in 24 hours instead of the 10 simultaneous jobs that all complete in 12 hours for (theoretically) twice the cost? It can be important for many of us to time the completion of jobs to correspond with our gaming times.
In Hisec, Lowsec, and NPC Null, the "taxes" you pay theoretically get sent to the resident governing body. To whom are these "taxes" being paid in Sov Null and especially in Wormhole space? Neither Concord, nor SCC, nor any empire body has any standing or presence in Sov Null or wormhole space; the residents see to that.
Will industry in Sov Null POSes/Outposts and in W-space POSes also require some form of ISK payment to some ethereal empire presence to start jobs?

How does something that is produced in Null and consumed in Null affect the production of High Sec? If you build something in Null you still have to get it to Jita to sell it, adding transportation cost and effort. Those few %s of advantage they have are quickly negated by transport cost.
