The differences made sense with POS because a POS could be pulled down in 30 minutes utterly avoiding any wardec risk, they don't make sense with these structures that are locked in space. All it does is make the point that CCP themselves are breaking their rule of treating all areas of space as important, and are busy turning EVE into a theme park. Can you decide if the risk is involved in your equation or not? And if yes, is risk in nullsec greater than one in hisec?
As for the investments, that should yield the same reward, as you say it. Does your pimped marauder provide the same isk per hour running level 4's as the same marauder in nullsec haven? Why dont you cry about that? And what about operational costs? Did you compare them? How much does logistics cost for nullsec? Red and Black Frogs - they have different pricing, go figure. |

I'm looking at this from a industry+wormhole perspective, but the issue applies to anywhere in space but highsec. The Mediums aren't defensible enough to survive anyone who wants to hit it. Once a group sets their eye on it, it takes relatively little commitment from them to kill it. A small defender is going to either have to accept the loss of the structure, or start paying out significantly more than the structure is worth in order to higher mercenaries (who may still not be able to prevent the next timer due to how little effort it's going to take to rip through its defenses).
Get 5 Oracles and 5 Logi and laugh at any attempt to stop it that isn't an overload of ECM.

Have you seen the huge fights that come out over astrahuses? You call the enemy of the people attacking your citadel and offer them fire support from the structure itself, you'll have some new friends.
700m is cheap as hell too. I'll likely be throwing them around to bait fights for my alliance. |

Also I was reading the fuel cost of the new modules.... 20 fuel / hour to research and copy, 20 to invent and 30 to manufacture something.... 70 fuel per hour to do what amedium tower does with 20. And for a fast reference the cheapest block (helium) cost 20k per block, making it 1.4mil per hour.
This count also ignore the onlining cost of these modules, at example on live a reprocessing module cost 5 blocks per hour but 320 to online and a market module the cost 40 block per hour need 2880 to online
How can a new players enter the industry gameplay when the basic structure with rigs and modules is going to be well over the 1bil cost, onlining the 3 basic module is going to cost probably 5k blocks (around 100+ mils) and at this point the new guy need to figure out what to do in the industry... while now to check how industry work in pos he can simply anchor a small pos, and with 10 fuel hour, no onlining cost, 30 minute anchoring and a cost under the 400mil he can check if he likes the doing industry or not.
I would be very discouraged by the upcoming system.
And please before saying "lol, go join a true man corp in null/low/wh" remember that everybody joined some high sec corp that hooked him / her to the game, and pushed him to move on other kind of spaces.
In my opinion to be a bit more "newbro" friendly remove the onlining cost (or reduce it by a great deal) from the industry modules. |

If you are 'too small' or solo to be able to defend your own structure. There are going to be TONS of these that are public use all over the place. |

Your Marauder does the same damage in both situations, with the same tank. Same Isk, same reward. What use you then put that reward to might be different, but you used a flawed analogy. As for operational costs, most people don't red & black frog. And they are a neutral entity who has to run the risk of being shot by blues of the people ordering the shipping and can't use the jump bridges the alliance has in place. Again, flawed analogy.
It's very simple, the structures should give the same for all areas of space. It's the same isk sitting in space waiting to be attacked. And while you might need a wardec in highsec, you also have significantly inferior defences on your structures since you don't get any AOE weapons or doomsdays etc.
Pretending otherwise is just asking for CCP to make a single area of the game superior to all other areas, which is the long term path to a dead EVE, because it creates a themepark like 'End game' for EVE, and sidelines everyone who doesn't go into the end game. |

I haven't read anything about Datacore generation which was mentioned as a possible service module for research laboratories. As the ECs are getting a Bonus to research are research labs still coming as a seperate structure or have they been incorporated into ECs now. If so, will the current system with research agents stay or is there still a plan to substitute the current system in the near future? |

Agreed that the fuel costs are on the crazy side. That definitely needs to get looked at.
However, Who the **** said this stuff is suppose to be for new players?
Stations still exist. POSes aren't going away any time soon. There will be plenty of these structures open for public use.

For what has to be the umpteenth time, now: By using OTHER PEOPLE'S STRUCTURES.
Please stop with the insipid implication that you can't even enter industrial play without owning your very own EC. It's ignorant at best, and an unabashed lie, at worst.
Using someone else's POS was generally infeasible because of the lack of personal storage and sufficiently granular permissions. There's no such concern under the new structure model.

That was also the case in the POS system we have now with a tiny difference.
What happen if the person owning the station offline the module or doesn't fuel it? Job cancelled? Job Halted? I'm not concerned about having to interrupt a job due to war, but having the chance that some guy trolls me by offlining the module or decide to unanchor when i've a 2 month me/te research in progress.... |

So you're saying the DPS output of a ship is the "reward"?
That's uniquely daft, even for you.

The main points are the following:
1) With POS system a hi-sec solo player can own a structure which is very flexible, low cost in fuel, low in investment and save it from wardec. 2) When POS will be removed as you said a solo player needs to rely on OTHER PEOPLE'S STRUCTURES. This is much more restrictive. You need to find one that fit your needs, with low industrial index, low taxes not too far from hubs.and so on and so on...
I don't see where is the improvements for those players.

At a POS I can deploy as many weapons as I want, then bring them online as required. If attacked I have the option to turn off industrial modules and online the weaponry & hardeners.
With Engineering Complexes I will basically be forced to either give up industry entirely, or find a large group of people I can pay to defend my structure against attackers. These things are basically loot pi+¦atas. Larger vulnerability windows, fewer defences, lower hitpoints, same DPS caps (and no rep caps, because we just can't repair them ourselves) GǪ it's going to be far easier to destroy an engineering complex than a POS with similar capabilities (remembering I can change a POS from industrial complex to ECM & resistances dickstar in a matter of minutes).
The message I'm receiving loud and clear is, "don't do industry if you're not one of the two largest coalitions in the game."

Yes using another corps EC might be a solution, but then you have even less control than if you own it for offline, dock restriction, usage restriction, destruction etc. So no, for me it's not a solution when you have valuable stuff. :) (edit: or you need valuable trust, but not from random people / corp then)
Actually, i don't care about the fact of paying that much for it, but what I don't like is that the cost is far higher, for no real gain but far more risks. |

Then you should probably choose the structure owned by a group you know can defend it. If you are otherwise too paranoid to trust other people in even the smallest way. Then use a station.
All structures are going to be better than stations, and are going to come with risks. Either you have to risk having to defend your own structure (god forbid), or you are going to have to trust someone else to be able to defend it.
And if you just can't bring yourself to do either of those things. Use a station and stop bitching, or reconsider why you are paying money to play a game with other people when you refuse to work with any of them. |

If you think its too dangerous in highsec, move to lower security areas of space, make some friends and increase your new structures bonuses at the same time. I'm sure you will have many people wanting to be your friend if you can provide them the service of a well fitted and maintained production complex.
It's nothing about 'too dangerous' in high sec. It's about investing the same isk, in the same structure giving the same reward. For comparison, imagine if a ship only gave 3% per skill level to damage in high sec, but 5% in null. That is the same as what CCP are doing with these structures.

All it does is make the point that CCP themselves are breaking their rule of treating all areas of space as important, and are busy turning EVE into a theme park. In nullsec, it helps offset the costs of transport of materials and products.
Without a greater benefit for null, those costs eat straight into profit and provide a disadvantage against highsec because not all things made stay in null. They are still brought to highsec to access the markets.
It's just levelling the opportunity, not providing an advantage for any of those products that make it to the same market.

Citadels and Engineering Complexes have exactly the same issues as POSes, with the extra caveat that you can't reconfigure them to defend against a wardec (and you certainly can't unanchor them to protect the asset). You have to have a bigger navy to defend an EC than the same size Citadel.

Yeah. and I agree on the main point here. That the new system puts the owner at far more risk than the current one. Encouraging people to work together and use new mechanics is great and all. But if there is a system currently in place that has a set Risk for reward structure. Its replacement shouldnt increase risk (by as much as this would) for the same or marginally better rewards.
That being said, I do like CCPs general direction in the risk V reward they are building in with the different structures, investment needed and sec status of where you put them. They just need to leave the current capabilities that people currently have while still offering the alternatives.
I also realise POSes aren't going anywhere for a good awhile. So people can still keep doing what they are currently doing. I just hope that between now and when POSes are gone, this gets addressed. |

Then you should probably choose the structure owned by a group you know can defend it. If you are otherwise too paranoid to trust other people in even the smallest way. Then use a station. All structures are going to be better than stations, and are going to come with risks. Either you have to risk having to defend your own structure (god forbid), or you are going to have to trust someone else to be able to defend it. And if you just can't bring yourself to do either of those things. Use a station and stop bitching, or reconsider why you are paying money to play a game with other people when you refuse to work with any of them.
I'm sorry, but in a game that almost give you a medal for awoxing and stealing your friends and corp mate stuff, I'm not going to entrust a random stranger with billions in bpos.

Disappointed, you just throw the same mechanics working fine for citadels on the industry structures, which do not fit here. You know, the index prevents people from banding together and share resources ...

Here's a thing for you..Go invest 4bn in Structure Component bpo's then put them in a public EC to research, last I looked it's over 400 days to me 10. Let me know how it goes.
If you aren't satisfied with the safety of ECs don't use them. I researched all my component BPCs in highsec stations for that very reason. The threshold for what is a large investment is different for many people.
Sticking 4b of BPOs into a POS or EC to research or copy is fine by me. But after a certain amount, putting all my eggs into 1 breakable basket tips the scale too far toward risk vs the possible rewards for keeping so many in there.
There is risk involved in doing things in eve. If you want higher rewards, higher risk comes with that. And, as Ive said in a reply above this, I do agree that, once they are removed anyway, POSes in highsec are far more secure than ECs due to the interactions of War Vs ECs and Vs POSes, and that there needs to be an appropriate mechanic to replace the current positions POSes have in highsec industry.
You invest time and money into putting the POS up and get better benefits than using an NPC station. The structures will be better than those POSes, and will have higher risks to go along with that. But just taking away the step between Stations and ECs does seem kinda silly.
All that being said. I only agree with that because of feature parity. I don't like the idea of being able to have nearly invincible benefits. |

I noticed these new facilities do not accommodate booster manufacturing? How will reactions work for T3 production? |

How are you "entrusting" them with your BPOs? They literally CANNOT steal them under the new structure model, which is what makes public structures feasible in the first place. You can't even lose them if the structure is destroyed (WH space aside).

T3 manufacturing is also a big concern for me since it becomes either ECs or nothing. I would be fine with manufacturing T3 in stations. |
