Hello
Last night i was planning to set my POS up and looking to get some fuel blocks for theswitch over. I have a small POS so it doesnt cost me that much with current prices and current methods of fueling.
I then looked at how many fuel blocks i wud need to fuel my pos for a week. Then did a pri9ce check on how much it was.
It worked out to fuel 1 small amarr pos it costs 280 mill a week! I worked out then that 1 large pos wud cost near enuf a bill to fuel for a week.
THis is a real rip off.
To fuel one small os for an hour atm u use 1 robotics. With new methods it costs ya 10 Robotics to fuel for an hour.
This is really a stupid way to fuel a pos. With the prices of them sov holders are not going to be able to make enough money to suffice all the pos's they have.
I think they should be run like this
1 Small amarr control tower needs 1 fuel block 1 Medium amarr control tower needs 2 fuel block 1 Large amarr control tower needs 3 fuel block
This would make a lot more sense and p[eoplewould be able to actually AFFORD it.
What do u all think

You do realize fuel blocks on market are currently overpriced due to speculators?
If you were to make the fuel blocks YOURSELF, you will find it only costs ~200mil for a medium tower and half of that for a small.
Edit: I just took a look at the blueprints....
1 run of the blueprint produces 40 fuel blocks which is 1 hour for a large tower 2 hours for a medium tower 4 hours for a small tower
to produce that 1 RUN it only requires(gallente case but nearly all are identical except for isotopes) Heavy Water 150 Liquid Ozone 150 Oxygen Isotopes 400 Oxygen 20 Coolant 8 Enriched Uranium 4 Mechanical Parts 4 Robotics 1
Nowhere is there 10 Robotics to produce 1 hour of fuel.
Please fudging check your math before whining that htis game is hard and unfair.

Have you tried looking at the costs to build blocks? Buying from the market, at the moment, could possibly be a bad idea.
Edit: Jack Tronic got in just before me. Saying basically the same thing. How odd that two people straight away said the same thing. |

I'm gonna guess that you didn't factor in that the blueprints were changed to produce 10x as many blocks (so that reductions for faction towers and stuff could be applied more easily). I haven't touched a control tower in a while, but your fuel costs should be similar before and after this change. |

No, it costs 1/4 Robotics per hour with the new system for a small pos, 2/4 Robotics for med pos and 1 for a large pos. Assuming fuel blocks cost 16.000(Currently cost 15.444,92 isk in Amarr), that would work out at about 115M for 30 days for a small pos, 230M for a med one, and 460M for a large one in fuel blocks.
(Cost=Days*hours*pos size*Fuel block price) (111.2M=30*24*10*15.444,92)<- for a small Amarr pos.
If they are selling for allot more near you, you could consider making them your self, or hauling the from somewhere where they are not that expensive.
Quote:1 Small amarr control tower needs 1 fuel block 1 Medium amarr control tower needs 2 fuel block 1 Large amarr control tower needs 3 fuel block
The 10 for small, 20 for med and 40 for large pos was done so faction towers could keep their fuel bonus if i'm not mistaken. |

Ok thank you. I didnt realise that ikt wass like that. I though 1 run on fuel blocks made 1 hour
Thanks you very much
and i typed this fast so thats why ther is spelling mistakes Death killer21

Only if you're using a large tower. Scrapyard Bob did the math. You're saving enough on the other components to pay for all the CPU and PG use, for medium and small towers.
OP? Type at a slower pace. People will take you more seriously, if your messages aren't sprinkled with typos and phonetic contractions. You can get away with it in text messages, due to the character limit and poor keyboard. You have a full keyboard and no significant limit here. |

Congratulations! You found a produce with excess profit. Economics dictates that a product/service with excess profit will eventually suffer from excess competition. What that means in Eveland is soon people will be selling the blocks for less than their component products since everything produced from PI and ice harvesting is 'free'. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

So, make your own fuel blocks. They are actually quite simple to make. All you need is about 4-5 PI planets and some ice. A month old character could make them no problem.
If you need Amarr fuel blocks, send my Industrial alt - Duck Mouth - an Eve mail. I'll work something out with you. ...Can't. Tell. If ...Troll? Or Serious.... |

The irony being, in the time it took you to type that last line (which has a grammatical error by the way) you could have gone back to fix the spelling mistakes.
It's ok to be honest. Just say you are too lazy to bother. |

we counted pretty well when we saved your asses from a certain German house painter The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

A lot of people are giving the OP a 0/10 on troll factor. I think this is going to atleast hit 5 pages so imo that solidly puts this on 5/10 for troll factor because what guys isn't going to go WFT for someone not wanting some dancing in the game heck even SW:TOR has some. |

Interesting, by MY calculations it costs me just 460 million ISK per MONTH to fuel a LARGE tower using fuel blocks off the market.
Perhaps you need to do your homework first before complaining on the forums? |

The current tax situation for exporting goods in high-sec negates some of the perceived savings. Null-sec, Low-sec and W-space returns may be different if the POCOs are alliance-owned and taxes are turned way down.
TBH, the amarr fuel block prices that I just saw in Amarr are barely above the cost of the materials required to build them. That's also not counting in the cost of renting a manufacturing slot or the transport costs from manufacturing site to market.
If there is any speculation, it might be in the build-materials.
