minerboob Gallente LG Industries Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2010.06.09 15:22:00 - [31] I logged 6 1/2 hours setting up for PI. Warping around to find 0.0 station that sells it (had an issue where I couldn't dock and had my alliance purchase it for me (and they guy who did it got a good tip, amazed that I had a jetcan trade go smoothly and nobody got borked!) Finally got back home and brainlocked as to what I wanted to produce. Opted to go for as many p3 items as I could. Set up my planets one after another with little issue (thank god for playing with sis to make that ezer) None of my corp mates stole up the good spots fhew! It was INTENSE click fest for a -while- I was telling my roommate every once in a while to shut up while I was clicking . lol The only thing I really borked up was that I set my extractors for 5 hours thinking I could log in b4 I went to work at 7:30 EST (downtime DOH!) to reset them If CCP does their job (which I have faith they will) the market should even out and my stuffs should be making money. After you get all your stuffs set up there is very little you need to do. Reset extractors every day and once a week launch and move stuff. No biggie at all and I can mine at the same time! My guess is that the time/reward will even out and ill start making money on this. I plan on expanding to a second chr to see if I can stand the extra complexity of the production chain. Graphics are pretty cool (good enough) the planets themselves look sweet. All in all, + for PI! Quote: Radioactive cats have 18 half lives

Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc. Initiative Mercenaries	Posted - 2010.06.09 15:40:00 - [33] Originally by: Epicbeardman Wow eight people. Where did you get the funding for this monumental project? Moron. He got the funding from the same place you got your reading education... Also, why didn't CCP just say 'Fsck this *-footing stuff... Let's remove all NPC orders, grab a beer and watch the fun'. They can still make up for their past failures.
KaarBaak Minmatar Squirrel Team	Posted - 2010.06.09 15:49:00 - [34] It's all fun and games until my 12-year old nephew logs into Dust514 on his xBox/PS3/PSP/DS and starts blowing up your passive income generators with his super-awesome-mega-bazooka. Until then, I am non-committal on PI (Because I know people were dying to know MY opinion). KB =vinur allra manna Tastes Like Chicken http://evemetagaming.blogspot.com/MetaGaming[
Musical Fist Gallente The Unknown Bar and Pub Elysium Alliance	Posted - 2010.06.09 15:58:00 - [35] The ONLY problem is NPC orders thats it tbh, I am pretty shocked at CCP for leaving them on tbh haha but at the same time I find it funny It wouldnt surprise me of tomorrow NPC orders are gone and everything bought is 'broken' -- Emo TraderJohn's Number 1 Fan!!
Dogen Myestic	Posted - 2010.06.09 16:09:00 - [36] Oh sorry, but I wouldn't have seen anyone asking in local, since I was having so much fun playing around with PI stuff. I'm loving PI (this isn't sarcasm). Can't wait to see what the future holds. Thumbs up CCP.
Lt Angus Caldari the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2010.06.09 16:13:00 - [37] Sure its fun but extractors cost more then they make in their lifetime on most products please resize your signature to the maximum allowed file size of 24000 bytes. Navigator Shhhh, Im hunting Badgers
CyberGh0st Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2010.06.09 16:18:00 - [38] I think so far it has been a nice adition, it may lack the depth atm, but I expect this to be expanded upon. It is quite a bit different from factional warfare, because there are many alternatives types of PvP, while there are no real alternatives for planetary interaction. I welcome this as an entertaining side game. On top of that I noticed many bug fixes ( for example the sound engine has had a couple of long needed fixes ). So I say, good expansion CCP ! http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE
Cyrus Mierre The Forsaken Legion	Posted - 2010.06.09 16:22:00 - [39] Originally by: Lt Angus Sure its fun but extractors cost more then they make in their lifetime on most products What lifetime? Until they get blown up by DUST some time in the future? =/ That's quite a claim
Zaerlorth Maelkor The Maverick Navy IT Alliance	Posted - 2010.06.09 17:19:00 - [40] Originally by: Terminal Insanity Anything that puts easy money into the hands of noobs = great for eve With all the POS equipment that PI will eventually power, i think it has potential to be a real profit maker in the long run. Anyone who thought the transition from NPC>PC market would be easy, was dropped on their head. /thread. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.
Megan Maynard Minmatar Unknown-Entity Black Star Alliance	Posted - 2010.06.09 17:37:00 - [41] I'm having fun getting all the stuff together and planning my planets out and going to work then coming back and seeing stuff in my silos and then transfering stuff and doing it all over again when I wake up in the morning. Run on sentances are fun. I have no clue what it's all worth, I'm just going to make a ** ton of the super advanced stuff and sell it at whatever price I want lol. The whole thing is cheap as hell, an advanced command center is only 3.4 mil, so I just plopped a bunch of them down and now I can put everything I need for my factory planet. That's right, I have an entire planet dedicated to slavery, and it's all mine to command. And any you *es get any ideas when dust comes around, I've already got mah best mans guild committed to playing Dust and going after whoever I deem fit mwhwahahaha Bring on the planet wide terror, I'm hooked.

Kerfira The Scope	Posted - 2010.06.09 17:38:00 - [42] Buy 2 CC's for producing Guidance Systems Spend 1-2 hours setting up the CC's (first time) Click extractors to start Haul parts from one planet to the other (pay tax) Wait... Pay 600 ISK per Guidance Systems imported... OR Pay 418 ISK to buy a Guidance Systems from an NPC with unlimited supply! Broken???

Kyra Felann Gallente Neh'bu Kau Beh'Hude Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2010.06.09 17:57:00 - [43] Edited by: Kyra Felann on 09/06/2010 17:58:05 Originally by: Brolly You haters are all the same, PI is awesome, I think it ranks up there with cosmos and factional warfare as one of CCP's best move to date. (emphasis added) Can't tell if serious. If you are serious, both of those are probably the most notoriously unfinished parts of the game. Both are good ideas which were incompletely implemented and then apparently abandoned. I sincerely hope that PI doesn't end up like those two, because that means it'll probably never be finished. -----SIGNATURE----- Originally by: CCP Ginger Ships have crews, most pod controlled frigates do not, above that they have crews of varying sizes. Hope that helps.
Syn Callibri Minmatar Blacklight Incorporated	Posted - 2010.06.09 18:13:00 - [44] Blacklight Inc. is looking at PI as an activity that will bring our Corp together in a cohesive goal-oriented effort. That alone is "worth the price of admission" to me. Still not too sure about the "clik-fest" though. (The views expressed may not be those of Blacklight Inc.)

Natalie Caladan Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2010.06.09 18:44:00 - [46] PI? "EVE goes Starcraft"
Kinroi Alari Gallente Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2010.06.09 18:55:00 - [47] Personally, I like PI so far. But then I know people who love spinning ships while camped into a station or outpost. (In fact, playing with PI will likely replace ship spinning for me. ^_^ ) -- Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere...
Cyprus Black Caldari 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2010.06.09 19:17:00 - [48] Seemed like you only took down all the negative reactions to PI and ignored the positive ones. Biased much? Regarding PI, I love it. It's yet one more shiny toy in my toybox. I'm not sure yet what to do with the end result of all that processing, but I still enjoy the experience. Especially not having to undock to manage the CCs. ___________________________________ "In the land of predators, the lion does not fear the jackal." -Dexter

So many cynics around, you just don't know what the bigger picture is, you're all so narrow minded. I just look forward to Dust and kicking people of my planets, it's going to be awesome!. So yeah, PI awesome, just think how good Ambulation is going to be!!! Is that sarcasm or insanity I smell?

Originally by: Abrazzar I don't know what's going on but I am terribly upset about it.
Princess Nimotehp Red Eye Brigade	Posted - 2010.06.09 19:34:00 - [50] I was a bit skeptical to PI, but ever since 12.00 UTC 08 June 2010 i have undocked only 2 times. First to place a CC ++ for some water extraction, then after reading EVE University's PI-guide i undocked once more to place out 2 more CC's ++ to make use of the water (and other planetgoo) to eventually being able to make some P4-stuff (though only P3 so far until i get some stock). So yeah... i LOVE it Guess my wallet wont get directly fat of the production any time soon, but he who waits will reap the fruits of hes labor A secondary bonus is that PI can fix the lag issues, i havent undocked with any of my chars (besides to PI) since the launch Nice job CCP!!
Nishachara Special Operations Corp Mortal Destruction	Posted - 2010.06.09 20:09:00 - [51] PI? Its cool, i am satisfied. No really, i logged in today to try it out and finished doing things and clicking, planning stuff...etc for a few hours. All in all its nice and fun in some way. Profits...i dont expect them too much, i earn by other sources enough. Its nice when i am bored and chatting with friends so i have something to do along with chatting I dont understand all the people who flame ccp and stuff for this expansion... imo its a very good expansion. Bug fixes, heh they will come eventually i am sure. And that lag is not a big problem for me, i like small gang pvp so no lag for me ..but i am sure they will fix that when they can too. Anyway + for CCP and + for PI... Heh i started to like PI so much that i trained an alt to dig planets. Only thing that in hs planets are pretty cra... oh wait...on second though PI is baaad very very bad. Dont do it, its not worth it, what ever you do dont put anything on planets
Godsdood	Posted - 2010.06.09 20:23:00 - [52] Well, we have to remember, PI is only the beginning, apparently there's a lot more to come. That said, this has to be the most boring "expansion" I've seen in the 3 years of playing EVE. I'm a big fat carebear, absolutely love industry but this is so crap, almost like it was designed to be played on a mobile phone, lol. I really hope that CCP develops PI into something much much more than what it currently is, a lot more, because moon mining is extremely boring, and planet mining is basically the same thing. I cancelled all 5 my accounts and will wait for a proper expansion\bug fix patch, I would stay for the PVP, but playing in a dead timezone means that even that hasn't changed in years. Dominion did nothing for Oceanic timezone, and PI just looks like a little something to distract us so that CCP can focus on Dust514. I vote for more bug fixes, improved options for small gang PVP, and Sleeper AI in missions!

CCP Zymurgist Gallente C C P	Posted - 2010.06.09 20:46:00 - [53] I know you may not consider me a player but I do play EVE and I have to say I am enjoying the Planetary Interaction as it currently stands. It isn't my primary source of income and so far i've jut lost money on it but I'm having tons of fun. In fact I got yelled at by my wife for getting up in the middle of a movie to "go to the bathroom" when she found out I was checking out new planets! It was worth it, some of my extractors had timed out. Zymurgist Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online Contact Us

pmchem Minmatar GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2010.06.09 20:51:00 - [54] Edited by: pmchem on 09/06/2010 20:51:45 Originally by: CCP Zymurgist It isn't my primary source of income and so far i've jut lost money on it but I'm having tons of fun. If you've lost money on it, then I'll assume you haven't been exploiting npc buy/sell orders and your losing money is pretty much the "working as intended" result. oh and this will not change for months on many items because whoops, cheap stockpiles
Thi Li	Posted - 2010.06.09 21:10:00 - [55] So far i like it, but comming improvments are welcomed. Id love to have the ability to build 1 harvester, then just upgrade that one to harvest more (think of the easy of extract~send by just having one big upgraded one) Instead of plopping down alot of them all over the place, i could do with a few here and there then just upgrade them to harvest more (smaller auto connected nodes when it get upgraded for exsample) :p
ghosttr Amarr Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium Aeternus.	Posted - 2010.06.09 21:14:00 - [56] I like PI, but CCP has dropped the ball on npc sell orders several times now. CCP should be more aggressive with removing sell orders. They should have just given players the week before PI to stockpile pos food, and then released it with a clean market. Players just cant compete with the NPC sell orders. The other thing is the import and export taxes setting a minimum price for PI items. I dont know if trade skills effect the taxes, but if they dont, they should. Prospecting!

Zoltar Torzoid Gallente Swag Co. Sandbox Bullies	Posted - 2010.06.09 21:59:00 - [60] Edited by: Zoltar Torzoid on 09/06/2010 21:59:14 Originally by: CCP Zymurgist I know you may not consider me a player but I do play EVE and I have to say I am enjoying the Planetary Interaction as it currently stands.

In fact I got yelled at by my wife for getting up in the middle of a movie to "go to the bathroom" when she found out I was checking out new planets! It was worth it, some of my extractors had timed out. It's an amusing distraction, but sooner or later the nuance WILL wear off. Unless something is done (remove NPC orders ffs) quickly to make it a profitable endeavor to mine planets, people will stop doing it. Every chain I've seen so far costs more to build than you can make in a week from it's result, assuming you are not abusing the total win that is NPC buy orders. If you have to rebuild your network roughly once a week, then you will forever be losing money. Not a viable time investment in a game in which the only quantifiable measure of success is how much money you can make. TBH, I'd say at max skills, you should be able to bring in 20-50m isk a planet per week x6 planets and it would be a viable mini-career. those that argue that it's not supposed to be profitable, but it's supposed to be fun will probably all change their story when they realize that they've clicked billions of times for a net loss. Just saying. fix if ASAP. It's broken, and 1 little change COULD make the difference in a viable profession or a complete waste of coding time. (NPC ORDERS NEED TO GO) also, increasing it's end-product yield couldn't hurt either. Sure seems like a TON of effort for a couple trinkets that could have easily been bought for a fraction of the cost to build. All in all, I honestly believe that PI has some potential. Then again, so have many things CCP have half-developed and left us stuck with. __________________ SWAG Co. We Build The Stuff You Steal! -Zoltar CEO
