As my PI extractors no longer work, it appears that I have to remove all 59 of my extractors shared over 5 planets and replace them with ECU's which will involve considerable isk and wasted time. I am far from happy about this, especially as I was quite happy with the way the sytem functioned in the first place.

I spent a great deal of time and isk getting these extractors precisely positioned and balanced in the first place, coupled with the fact that I now have to spend a whole lot more time, effort and wasted isk on replacing the extractors with ECU's, I would like to be re-imbursed with isk for either the cost of the old extractors or the new ECU's required to give me the same extraction processes and amounts as per the old extractors I have in place.

I do not see why this cannot be done in the same spirit as was thought prudent when we were re-imbursed with skill points when the learning skills were removed - (another goal post moving nonsense with which I was far from happy.) This is especially true in light of the fact that with the forthcoming Sansha incursions we could well see a time when we are unable to go near our PI planets in order to service them and collect our PI products without being ganked by either Sanshas or opportunistic non-corp sansha fighting fleets.

I do not intend to make any alterations to my PI layouts until such time as I get a response to this and would therefore be much obliged for a speedy response. If I have got this all wrong and misunderstood the whole mess then I apologise and would be grateful for some guidance on the whole PI updating process.

You get refunded for the extractors, as said when u click decommision for the first time. Youll probably end up using less extractor "satellites" then original extractors you had, and it seems to make it harder to extract more than two items per planet. But so far on a few of my planets, when i reset up my ECUs and links, my links get completely 100%+ filled on a single ECU and i need to upgrade

so, ECUs can be kept closer to main base rather than a long link to extractors. youll probably have less extractors, maybe one or two more processors on a t0/t1 planet.

Youre missing out by waiting on this.

Character portrait..

I created four thinking I could change between them.. i can't find an option to do this ... and typically it has picked my least favourite. Can it be changed to the others created? Or can a dev change it for me?

---

The four portraits are only for comparison. You should then pick your favorite one and the others get thrown away.

... I looked back a couple pages and didn't see a post about this so if it has been posted before I apologize but I'm having an issue where the overview is not refreshing. .... whether it's after warping to a new system or from from one room in a mission to another.... the ships/wrecks are remaining in overview but like blanked out or half visible or whatever. also... when I am firing on something or tractoring a wreck using one account and I tab to the other and start firing on a target when I tab back the camera is acting like I hit "look at" on whatever I was last doing on that character. like... I'm tractoring a wreck with client A and tab to client B and start firing on a ship... when I tab back to client A the wreck I was tractoring is zoomed in making me have to spend time resetting camera..... then when I tab bk to client B same thing but the ship I was firing on is zoomed in and again have to reset camera view..... this along with me having to take time after each alt-tabbing to hit tab twice to remove the old wrecks/ships from the overview is beyond annoying after having to do it 6 or 7 times. I cleared my cache on all my client installations (manually... went through each of them and deleted everything) and it's still persisting .... running XP home edition, Athlon 64 X2 dual core 4200+, 3gb DDR2, nvidea 9000 series with current drivers

Some players may experience their desktop and screen stay dark after alt tabbing out of the EVE client. If you are experiencing this please run EVE as administrator and this should correct this issue.

The work around doesn't seem to work for me (Windows 7, 64bit), however logging off and then quiting does bring the brightness back (but doesn't help when alt tabbing while running eve). Not a major issue but if any logs/more details or anything will help to sort it please reply/eve-mail me.

Problem is I don't remember seeing any mention of a refund when I did a test update of removing an extractor before cancelling the operation.

It is also worrying that you say it will be difficult to extract more than two items per planet as I was already using the max elite command centres and had the total amounts of all required P1 products finely balanced between 5 planets - leaving the 6th planet purely for P3/4 production.

When I set this up I spent around 75 mill isk - not too mention many hours of perfecting the balance to minimise trips between planets as my PI setup is in low sec.

However I will give things a try and see what happens.

I have the exact same trouble, running Eve as Administrator and updating my drivers hasn't worked. Ctrl-Alt-Del restores the brightness until I tab in and out again. Its very annoying since I'm pretty much always tabbing to browse stuff or watch movies while playing Eve.

Hello, I would like to report a defect in your product: all the new character portraits look like emo***gots. When will this be addressed?

Thanks in advance.

1. Fleet Boni are not applied correctly. In my case neither to the Squad Booster nor the squad member. Revoking Booster and setting it again helps. But only until jumping to the next system.


2. The short-cuts for Align, Warp, Dock etc. do not work correctly. Although a target is selected the short-cuts only work if you select the target again while pressing the shortcut or if the overview has focus. Just clicking the appropriate button works even in cases where shortcut doesn't work. Bring that in line please.


3. The "minmize all windows"-shortcut doesn't work 'the other way round', you have to manually unminimize all windows. I don't see a specific shortcut to 'unminimize' windows either


4. The sorting in the overview is somehow broken. I use "distance" for sorting but the overview often doesn't update (correctly).

Cannot create a BUY contract on either of my clients. when you click finish on the last screen the window just repaints over and over again.

EVE not willing to start on my computer even if it meets all the requirements:

Processor: Pentium 4 3GHz with Hyper-threading
Video: GeForce 7800
RAM: 2MB
Windows XP SP3

Hurry up CCP, fix the client so people having the same problem can play your game.
Ty!

UPDATE: Issue solved by updating the C++ libraries (read thread)

Thats about what most PI worker's will have spent as a minimum; and if you havn't recovered nearly 10 times that ammount, then I would sugest you stop doing PI, stop whining; and try someting else in EVE, 75 mil in relation to the gains you should have made are trivial.

First off, this thread is supposed to be used for patch issues and not comments such as yours. Secondly, it is thanks to people like you who are apparently prepared to put up with any crap that is thrown at us resulting from patches, that we are still, after all this time, left with countless bugs and broken content that should have been fixed years ago. Furthermore, as I pay for the priviledge of playing this game, I do not need you to tell me what I should or should not continue to do in the game. If I have a genuine concern that is no doubt shared by many others, then it is my right to express those concerns, so if you have nothing constructive to say on the matter then I suggest you put a sock in it and desist from flaming people who are just that little bit more concerned than you about the continual moving of goalposts resulting in the inevitable gradual degredation of a once great game.
