As more and more stuff gets stealth nerfed to 40% reproc, it will only get worse.
Our 'emergent' game play 'emerges' when a new patch comes out. While I do agree with you on manipulation, it's broader and doesn't really apply in the case of minerals. I'd speculate and say we are just now running out of drone region stocks. |

Do I really need to spell it out for you?
Reproc a cruiser, reproc a Barge. They don't reproc at 90% of build. They reproc at 40% because they modified the build costs and kept reproc at old values to keep people from creating minerals. A short term fix with a long term nerf as a result. |

Short version, because I'm not looking for an argument: It's not a nerf, because there is no /reduction/ in the materials you get back. Just an increase in what you have to put in. While I might be wrong, I don't think reprocessing of this kind of thing isn't a major mineral transfer point. No numbers on it though.
It's only a nerf if you have a large fleet of something. By example, if I owned 2000 Exec because I liked the 900 M3 base cargo and decide to ditch them now that its a logi boat, I can't reproc them to build a new fleet. Not at a reasonable return.
It will hurt more if they follow trend and do the same with BC and Battleships. Imagine your alliance has 20,000 Drakes for reimbursement and a change in doctrine turns those in to 8000 Drakes by reproc. |

The game has been a grind your guts out game for most players for a while. It isn't the only game to be pure gear grind but it's one of the most intense. |
