Another Data Cores thread !!

First post of this forums alt, too, it seems. Not at all suspicious !

Yeah but PI i what 12 days of training? Low bar for entry where as data cores requires a large commitment to be able to access then you still have to do stuff to even make that money. Sounds like it belongs in Eve. I still need to gather all the data cores and take them to whatever base of operations I have to be able to put the data cores to good use. Some lazy people they just sell them out right and miss out on making anything are just as bad as the mission runner that don't sell there loot correctly.

Another Data Cores thread !!

First post of this forums alt, too, it seems. Not at all suspicious !

"Get stuff, move stuff, sell stuff" can be used to describe most pve. Datacore farming requires far less interaction than other pve, to the point where income is not lost for lack of diligence. That goes goes against the spirit of Eve.

It is as close as possible to "true passive" isk that you point out, which is why people complain about it so much. It's true that passiveness is a sliding scale, but datacore farming is out of whack with all other "passive" activities.

Patch notes:http://community.eveonline.com/updates/patchnotes.asp

Research agents and datacore changes
Datacore offers have been added to Factional Warfare Militia Corporations (250 LP and 250,000 ISK for a package of 5):

24th Imperial Crusade: Amarrian Starship Engineering, High Energy Physics, Laser Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Nanite Engineering.

State Protectorate: Caldari Starship Engineering, Graviton Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Quantum Physics, Rocket Science.

Federal Defense Union: Electromagnetic Physics, Electronic Engineering, Gallentean Starship Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Plasma Physics.

Tribal Liberal Force: Hydromagnetic Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Minmatar Starship Engineering, Molecular Engineering, Nuclear Physics.

Please remember all above prices are affected by War Zone Control LP Store multipliers.

Field multipliers for all research categories have been removed (this affects Research Point per day). Besides, all Research Points requirements to claim one Datacore have been increased from 50 to 100.

Research Point amounts will not be adjusted in any shape or form with Inferno release.

I think of Data Cores like Cell phones, it takes time to create them and it's passive income onces your sources is setup. If more cell phone companies are in business thats less profit for you. What about comcast or verizon, onces everything you worked so hard for is setup you get to charge a small subscription fee for very little work.

I don't see comcast at my house everyday running a mission from me to receive my monthly money.

Plus your data cores are meaning less unless they are turned into something useful anyway,

So besides people being upset that data cores are not like missions or incursions what is the real problem?

also applies here



ugh... I never said it was

read it again

I was comparing data cores to PI and then asking "HOW is that passive?"

IE saying its not

then going on to ask if passive Isk wouldnt actually be:
"instead of getting items/fuel from the PI buildings they randomly ticked an amount of ISK directly into your wallet?"

Man ppl need reading comprehension here

Not just knee jerk reacting "PI = passive?? OMG I MUST POAST"

Sorry for overreacting, it just bugs the **** out of me

I'm sure Comcast just sit on their asses all day and just passively earn money. No support, no maintenance, no upgrades, no management. All of their thousands of employees get paid every month for having set up some towers years ago, and nowadays they just play solitaire all day.

Income over time without continued effort is a bad idea and shouldn't exist.

I can feel the OP-¦s pain, as i-¦m in the same situation.

There was a lot of effort in SP, grinding standing to be able to have this passive income. And yes it is PASSIVE INCOME, coz even PI needs mor effort (and after doing PI for some days i never touched it again - so these SP are wasted too).

I will have a look where this is going (DC prices) and after 6 month (when DC prices are down to hell, if) i will rage at CCP to reimburse these wasted SP, when i shut down my R&D Agents, because it-¦s not worth the travel time.

Datacores is too much of a passive income and HAD no costs associated with it. Even though you've spent a lot of time grinding up those standings doesn't mean you should be given a free income of items that can be exchanged for currency. That and they wanted another isk sink, which is perfectly understandable given the current situation.

If anything, datacores will simply end up stabilizing at about 10k plus current prices to make up for them being costly to take out of the research agent.

Let the farming datacores with guns(like mining with guns) begin.

This thread is so good, I've lost a Garde II and a Garde I to posting in it when waves spawned. Good job!

Unlike Technetium!

Unlike that!

Don't forget, Goon Friend, your passive income is OKAY!

Goons don't really care much about datacores, so it's not like anyone minds much that you want your passive income to not be nerfed.
