Originally by: Mashie Saldana Or it could simply mean that datacores will be available in 0.0 as well.
Datacores are already available in 0.0 thru exploration. What CCP possibly mean would be pumping up the drop amounts dropping in exploration or adding extra source of datacores on top of exploration (for example planetary interaction).
Afterall they have not stated that they will remove passive datacore generation thru R&D agents. So what would happen would be price crash of datacores or in other words lower invention costs for getting the prints. A indirect T2 BPO nerf. Would be harder to run 'free' accounts also by getting 15 R&D agents on account and buying GTC's with isk from datacore selling (like I do with some of my accounts).

Originally by: Fulbert Edited by: Fulbert on 28/02/2010 15:19:02 Any 10milSP+ character is able to avoid 0.0 gatecamps with a T3 cruiser fitted with interdiction nullifier & covert reconfig. More than 250 datacores in one trip - that's months of datacore farming, even with 2 or 3 agents. Gatecamps aren't a problem.
IMHO, boosting 0.0 income won't bring more individuals. People go to nullsec when their corp get an access to it : NRDS, standing agreement, or sov. Highsec NPC corp players won't go in nullsec space, cause the whole risk versus reward stuff is broken.
If the cores would be produced in 0.0 stations (altho I personally do not believe CCP would go that route) the easiest way to 'cash in' would be the jump clones. Install one jump clone at each station you need to cash in and then clone jump over 5 days into each of them for 'cash in'. Don't need to travel thru 0.0 at all once you have made it to the station once. That tackiks is reasonable even currently for the hi sec agents. After that all you need is to collect all the cores with one character - carrier for example is pretty good for that. No need to go thru all those gates and stuff. And it's not like anyone is able to get you if you know what you are doing and don't use kickout stations or take unreasonable risks.
If you read the minutes mentioned above though there is other things proposed in my opinion that would have far wider effect in EVE and in null sec than ability to get few extra datacores. For example proposal that one should not be able to dock if warp scrambled or bringing back Titan's ability to DD in low sec (especially in combination with inability to dock if scrambled). Undocking JF's would become quite fast a rather risky gamble on the lines 'wonder if there is recon cloaked near by waiting to scramble me'. Nothing major ofc, as JF's would just start undocking 40 sec before DT or if there is no neutrals in local. Assuming the timer remains at 30 sec before you can redock or jump.

Originally by: Grozen this idea has been suggested but not accepted yet
It has beed 'discussed' among other things in the last CSM summit. The one sentence about it is vague enough to understand it any way you like. Most of this thread is wishful thinking and speculation. For example the one sentence does not say that current R&D agents in empire would stop giving out datacores. Nor does it say if one would start getting datacores from some new source in 0.0 (as one can already get datacores from exploration in 0.0). It is entirely possible that CCP might pump up for example datacore drops in the exploration without doing anything else - as it is possible that they might do nothing. Or do any of the other mentioned ideas. Up to and including removing R&D agents from hi sec (altho I myself they would remove T2 BPO's or make it possible to 'grind' datacores before/instead of removing their R&D agents).
