Overhaul datacore mining some other way. Get datacores out of FW. It doesn't make sense fluff wise or mechanic wise. You just got done telling people you're not going to let them shoot npcs to build things (drone nerf)...then you tell them you are going to make them shoot npcs to build things (fw overhaul). All you did was change the position in the production chain.
Actually its more like:
"You want to do research, fine but you will need to do experiments on the fringes of empire. The factions don't want explosions in safe space or anything. By the way the stations with the services you need come under attack regularly so you will need to learn how to fight and protect your work. Welcome to the fringes."

Your explanation makes sense if R&D wass just moved to lowsec, but not when you get rewarded with datacores for shooting people and have no prerequisite of learning about the field you are researching.
No, your misreading the blog (or I am). They are removing the multiplier for rp's. You will still be able to do research and get datacores, but you will also be able to get them as rewards in the LP store. So if datacores are your thing, your research agents are important, but so would be factional warfare because it controls the price and availability of datacores.
Quote:As such, we are removing all field multipliers on research fields, while unifying RP amount to claim one datacore to 100. While this actually double amount of RPs to claim a datacore, we also are introducing a small 10,000 ISK fee per datacore to ensure there is a small cost tied to their retrieval.
We also are introducing datacores to the Factional Warfare LP stores, spilt into each individual faction so there is no market overlap. They are tied to the War Zone control effect on LP store prices, that means offers will dramatically change depending on which side is winning. |
