I used to make bpo copies for sale, offlined the pos today.
The BPO I commonly use have had their max copy runs changed from 300 to 40.
3 copies of 300 runs used to take 4 days. now 3 copies of 40 runs takes 2.25 days and costs 450K isk in a system with no copy capability.
In order to get the same number of runs (900) I need to make ~22 copies which takes something like 16 days and costs ~34M

Having not done industry much prior to this and re-researching the teams function - they don't seem like the greatest idea. While I understand the bid system it seems like another mechanic where the already affluent or large corps can control the best teams. It also doesn't seem to add anything incredibly interesting to the interface.
If I didn't want to play the EvE market or contracts, why would I now want to mimic the same function here? Is there an assumption that someone that enjoys dabbling in industry also enjoys the market interface? |

i hoped the new ui would allow this usecase but it still doesn't. I would like to use a corp blueprint out of a corp hangar while using the resources of the members private hangar (and deliver it to the private hangar). Members still have to move stuff around, e.g minerals to the corp hangar or the blueprint to private hangar to start a job.
but i like most of the other changes so far. eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW |

yeah, not digging this patch what so ever. I have a POS that I was able to do research on my blue prints. But oh yeah, I can't do crap now, cause now industry is a corp thing now. Which means I don't have access to a corp wallet, which means I can't do much. So I guess will unsub 3 toons. So hope that cuts down the hourly rate of who came up with horrible idea. So if this is your idea to ramp indy, good job. You wonder why your laying off peeps, cause you guys lost your best people, and now your just forcing garbage down our throats and calling it team super duper. Hope that you guys figure this out sooner than later, hate to see any more down sizing cause you can't figure things out. |

After initial concern I tried test-installing a now ME8 Erebus BPC and thankfully found the number of required parts matched the pre-patch blueprint, just turns out that the show info tab doesn't list materials required with ME/TE applied which is kind of an issue...

You pay taxes for produced goods that you import into the system, sure, but you also bring your own populations and your own crews. You can choose to enact whatever payment system you like, be it generously showering them with ISK and other material goods in exchange for glorious productivity, or perhaps whipping them and torturing their children if production falls in the slightest. You don't pay anything to anyone outside your little sphere of influence. In Sov Nullsec, you are the governing entity, with same results as W-space.
CCP wants this to be an ISK sink. That's fine. I still don't have to pretend it makes sense in the situations I described.
Slavery is not free. Generally speaking, from a historical perspective, it costs just as much to build stuff with slaves as it does to just pay your workers. Slavery is a different work model but not necessarily a cheaper one. So just assume your installation costs are going to feed your slaves and their foremen, pay for security, quell rebellions, buy shock collars, replace the burnouts, suicides, and used up husks of overworked children, etc.
In short, labour costs. It always has and it always will, however you try to do it. |

Yeah, this is the part I really don't get. What the hell is the point of a scaling index if very nearly everything is maxed? Clearly this needs to be normalized. I doubt CCP intended it like this otherwise they'd have just set a flat tax. No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh. |

Please offer a minimize button for the vast expanse of wasted space above the Team/Jobs section for times when that area has no functional use.

First steps taken in reorganising Industry - good effort CCP despite the old code (and somewhat 'precious' playerbase). With more patches and work this'll turn out well. Haven't had a chance to play with everything yet, so reserving judgement, but two small points:
- Can't lock the Industry window, like you can every other window. Consistency is important.
- The new Planetary Interaction window is so small and displays so little, you may as well keep it as a tab in the Industry window. PI is part of industry, after all, and we don't need yet another button to clog our already-full sidebars when it'll slot neatly back in with its parent window.
Otherwise, as mentioned, will have to play with this expansion for a bit to get a feel for things before more can be said. Keep up the effort!
Oh, also I feel this was a missed opportunity to include some great industrial-themed skins for ships and clothes for avatars. Hopefully we'll see some in future patches. Hint hint. ;) __________________ Chief Executive Officer Instar Heavy Industries |

The filter button is absolutely needed too. Not only for BPCs, but for Installations/Systems tab. So you could filter out lowsec/nullsecs, for example, or Systems with load reaching some treshold.

I am relatively new to industry and I really like the new interface and the changes. So much information in one place. And research is now possible for me, no more waiting weeks until a slot is available. I don't care much about costs and stuff right now, because I'm doing only small stuff for myself atm. Keep the improvements going. :) *thumbs up* |

Having to use the corp master wallet to manufacture in a pos in daft
Live in a wh and use a pos to make two things, ammo and pos fuel. Main corp is not in WH Not a director Have division 1 access and could manufacture and research previously
Tried making 1 unit ammo. Charge is 6 ISK. However I cannot pay that 6 ISK as I do not have and probably never will have access to the master wallet.
To pay is fine(sort of) but at least let 99% of pos users pay without having the ability to Awox the corp completely
Unless this is fixed fast industry on pos areas will be restricted to corp directors or 1 man corps
I believe that until you can get the jobs to go from player wallet then we may as well give up.
I like most of the changes, however

I'm trying to figure out the math here for ME savings. So if I have a BPC/BPO, and lets say all its inputs are low numbers, say less than 20. That would mean I would need at least a 5% ME bonus to get any materials savings, since all fractions are rounded up correct? So 2% from a POS, and 3% from a team? |

I have spent perhaps 1-2 hours with the industrial window now, and my take on it is that it is an improvement to overall control of your industry.
It consolidates all your blueprints that is very useful when you are operating out of different areas in Eve. It is incredibly quick to set up jobs as well as keep track of missing items in the place where the installation is to be held.
Jobs section is really well done with the timers and the quick 'deliver all jobs'.
I am very happy with the research section as well, and making the components of Reverse Engineering into blueprints was genius.
Teams is something I don't understand yet, I am not even sure it applies to worm space at all?
It loads faster than I was expecting as well, even if you have blueprints in 10 different buildings in different systems. Thumbs up.
What I am missing however is scaling the industrial window, the upper portion is ridiculously big.
I also would like to see a counter for how many of the materials/products you have in the place where the blueprint is being installed. It would enhance your industrial awareness a lot for planning more complex builds that need a lot of different components.
All in all, I am so far quite impressed by it, and I do like the looks and sounds of the interface for one. I think it was a good change, that could do with tweaking of course. |

My greatest beef with this patch is that its going to drive up ship and fittings costs significantly. The System Cost Index is going ensure that this will happen, because moving industrial activities away from the trade hubs may lower installation job costs but will dramatically increase hauling requirements. Time is also money, and industrialists will not be willing to sell their product for anywhere near pre-patch prices if they have to make hundreds more freighter jumps to build and sell things, along with the taxes and higher job installation costs layered on top.
Eve lives or dies on PvP and player-generated content from PvP - that's the defining characteristic of the game. But unaffordable ships and fittings is really going to hurt PvP activities. This patch really looks to me like Hauling Online. Because that's really what this System Cost Index appears to entail.
And woe to POS owners who have a manufacturing tower in a busy highsec system. You'll be playing way more Hauling Online than most, because that tower will be coming down. I can't see why, at this point, anyone would want to use a large tower to do any sort of production in highsec and defend it well, because you can spend days worth of game time setting it up only to find that the System Cost Index has changed and you can't do any S&I jobs profitably there anymore. Its going to be all small towers with <24 hour jobs to deal with wardecs, because nobody can control the SCI.
So yeah, Hauling Online instead of affordable PvP. And a huge buff to nullsec industry even though the sov null blocs already wipe their a$$es with ISK. I guess the nerf to JF stats and fuel consumption is the trade-off here, but that can be dealt with using inactive wormhole routes since low class wormhole inhabitants are few and far between these days.
I'm just not getting this patch, outside of trying to create a giant ISK sink and lay it (mostly) on highsec and force everybody to spend more of their precious game time in a hauler. I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm not paying my subscription so that I can stare at stargates all day long and effectively live out of my freighter. |

Probably all already said....
Putting colour bars under ME/PE and the installations doesnGÇÖt work at all, it fails to provide information in a meaningful way. For ME/TE itGÇÖs animated and thatGÇÖs gets old quickly, it has no apparent scale (a colour gradient could help) and it is a duplication of the precise and perfectly visible percentages that are the only thing providing GÇÿat a glanceGÇÖ information. For the facilities it took me a bit of scrolling to realise that the red bar was a scale at all and that you were therefore attempting to be consistent. The facilities tab seems a failure as a source of useful information that I can interpret and use. I think I am meant to do something based on the system index cost, but what, there is no explanation as to what the incentives are.
The teams tab is a step into the weird as far as design goes. There is a bar you click called GÇÿTeam CharteringGÇÖ and it takes a minute to work out what changes when you click it. When the tab is showing the allocated teams the bar should say GÇÿTeam AuctionsGÇÖ and when the tab is showing the team auctions the bar should read GÇÿAllocated TeamsGÇÖ (or similar).
Staying with the teams tab there is something going on with the team icons that I donGÇÖt get GÇô why are they wearing different coloured suites? IGÇÖve been looking at it for a while and it doesnGÇÖt seem to be getting more obvious and yet IGÇÖm sure it must mean something. Specialties are a bit odd, there are four pop up lists of things that a team specialises in and they arenGÇÖt short lists. It would be impossible to work out what blueprint went with what team if you were simply browsing teams looking for a place to build or whatever it is you do with this information. Perhaps colour coding the blueprints and their speciality would make more sense so a battleship blueprint had a red dot in the corner and the specialty was red GÇô that would be awful but better than trying to remember what belongs to what.
The icons for ME/invention etc. are rubbish. I donGÇÖt think you can use two conical flasks, a microscope and the symbol for atomic energy next to each other like that. They could all be interpreted as meaning GÇÿScienceGÇÖ and when I think of reverse engineering Chernobyl does not spring to mind. They should be much more meaningful and distinct. ME has nothing to do with jewellery so it is baffling as to what relevance the diamond has to that. The hour glass for TE makes sense as does the factory for building but diamonds mean nothing.
As contracts werenGÇÖt updated they show ME and TE as positive values and not percents at all, I think that looks better. More generally and taking a step back from the specifics of industry or Eve at all, it is really weird to use an objective measured as a percent where the ultimate GÇÿdreamGÇÖ target is neither 0% or 100%. Trying to explain someone who does not play Eve that IGÇÖm aiming to get things to -10% would make anyone sound mad. Previously the target was 0% waste and itGÇÖs simple to explain to anyone that plays or not why that is a good thing. This is madness, the bodge fix would be to make the percent positive so the sentence GÇÿIm aiming for plus ten percent material efficiencyGÇÖ could be used, GÇÿIm aiming for minus ten percent material efficiencyGÇÖ is just ****ing stupid.
Overall I think it is poorly considered and executed, the more you more you look the more weird you see. Why not say GÇÿTotal estimated build costGÇÖ and GÇÿTotal estimated sale priceGÇÖ rather than calling both GÇÿTotal estimated priceGÇÖ (even better, subtract one from the other and tell me that), itGÇÖs as if there is no idea of what an industrialist is trying to achieve by building something. It is a lot of database spew with some art and that spew has taken priority over presenting useful and usable information to the user. I think with ME in particular its specific meaning in an equation has become all consuming and any thought as to how a new player will intuitively grasp the concepts that are being expressed have gone out of the window GÇô no one has read this interface out loud. I think that is summed up by a CCP employee getting confused to the extent of using World as a filter for teams when they meant Universe.
I find it too confusing to know what the market will do and how much stuff will cost to make, IGÇÖm in the market for a third party tool to help me out. There is no purpose in grand statements of quitting as I donGÇÖt get the impression that CCP is really that concerned. I donGÇÖt think industry is for me at the moment and BPO trading doesnGÇÖt make sense anymore. I have to find a new activity to make it worthwhile for me to start the game up; I just canGÇÖt see what that will be at the moment. |

Well, I have a slightly different opinion. I really like the new Planetary Interaction button and window. Its nice and small and I can put it to one side while seeing my planet set ups clearly and click through without yet another window in the way. It also allows me to cycle quickly through all my planets without having to repeatedly open/close it like I used to have to do when it was with the industry window. Had you kept it with the new industry window I don't think I'd be able to see my planet without opening and closing the industry window a bunch of times, so at least one small nice change. Thanks! |

OMG!! WTF PWNED By CCP
There is no doubt you guys are smarter than the average but it seems this time you have created a monster that is going to drive away a good portion of your long time gamers by completely bombarding us with changes that are so dam complicated. Bordering on the ridiculous it seems thus far.
I have 9.8 standing with npc corp and yes did read past blogs so quickly maxed most of my repro skills and notice even with lvl 5 veld processing corp still takes 30%
In game bugs and glitches I've met a few, markets will adjust, and glitches will be fixed but I play to chill not get stressed by smartie pants devs that have made my ore spread sheets obsolete to top it off my aging eyes and shrinking brain cannot decipher all the new R&D menus with tiny text that in most cases still make little sense.
If anybody has a youtube tutorial channel post a link I'll make sure I atleast give eve another 2 months or so until subs run out
Ps I'll make sure I +1 like and follow etc |
