If the rumors are true and datacores will only be a reward for faction warfare, I think that is a mistake. I spent months training the skills to earn my cores. To me, it would be like CCP removing the required skills for super capital ships and forcing PVPers to mine in order to earn time in the pilots seat of a cap ship. It would take the time that someone trained his skills and make it worthless and force him to do something he might not want to do.
Does the current system need a change, I dont know, maybe. But it takes a load of time to grind up to level 4 agents and train all those skills and I would hate to see all that effort wasted. Honestly, for all that effort I might make 100mill a month and then I have to fly around 30 jumps or more to collect it and then take it to Jita to sell. Its not like its some crazy gold mine in its current form. I would rather see them bring back the T2 lottery than be forced into faction warfare.
PI makes a heck of a lot more money, requires a lot less travel time since planets can be in the same system and needs less skills to do it. |

Personally, I dont understand the focus on datacores. There are so many other ways to make more money, why waste the development time to change the datacore system and screw a player out of a mere 100mill a month? There are so many other systems in this game that need dev love, why waste it on datacores. Its not like anyone is getting rich from them. Even if you spent the time to get all three of your char's to level 4 agents and trained up in the skills, you could not make enough on one account to buy a plex in 30 days.
With the datacore nerf, the talked about T2 production move to low/null sec only, destroyer buff for easy hulk killing and other CCP directives, I think being a highsec industrialist may become a thing of the past.

So my advice to players who trained the skills, either go actually use the science skills and go invent. Or sell the char.
How can I invent when I just lost half my cores and who wants to buy a char with useless skills? I'm not saying the datacore change is the gamebreaker here but when you add it to the coming change of T2 production in low/null sec only, many of the small invention corps just took a hit to the chin. |

It all just smacks of randomness, with employees and devs doing busywork instead of developing MIND-BLOWING THINGS like Wormholes.
This is the part I have an issue with. I dont feel this was thought through enough. I can almost understand the cut to cores on R&D agents but the move to add them to the FW LP store? I dont follow the logic. I'm also sad to see the same song and dance about "we will look into it later" concerning the wasted time many of us invested in training the skills and earning the corp faction rep. It seems like they push more and more to the C-List every year and waste time on features that no one is asking for. |
