Has anyone even noticed the initial numbers per a block and the fact that it uses 4 of those an HOUR!!? The following is use-age numbers for large towers based on the original posted figures per a block.
The fuel increase is exponentially higher per a pos:
----This for a 30 day run cycle for one POS.. ----
(Assumes no sov and no sov bonuses)
432,000 Heavy water 432,000 Liquid Ozone 1,152,000 Isotopes 57,600 Oxygen 23040 Coolant 11,520 Enriched Uranium 11,520 Mechanical Parts 2880 Robotics
--------------------------------------------------------------- (Following assumes you are like some/most Eve POS owners who have far too many to actually mine/make all this crap.) Current estimated prices for this one month bucket of fuel to power the new CCP built Porche (Caldari) Cayenne SUV:
Heavy Water 10,800,000 Liquid Ozone 159,408,000 Heavy Water 10,800,000 Robotics 204,4800,000 Nitrogen Isotopes, 622,080,000 Coolant 163,584,000 Mechanical Parts 92,160,000 Enriched Uranium 132,250,000 (Oxygen cost is deprecated due to it being easy to obtain)
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a SUV with rich leather interior, still has that new POS smell and gets a whole .000000001 miles per a gallon, it goes REALLY fast though! O.K. now some serious bits here that dont involve hurling sharp pointy objects and four letter invective laced hate mails at the people who are making the changes I know you guys get plenty of that already.
My .2 isk on this change is this:
This will wipe out or bankrupt a vast swath of pos owners, especially those who operate multiple large towers, basically i would dare say 2/3 of all pos owners would not be able to own them any more. I think i can speak for most of those and say we dont have multiple technetium moons overflowing out of our back pockets to pay for the cost of such a thing, I think even those tech moon guys if they bother to read Dev posts are having some second thoughts about this. This would negatively impact the ice market in the long run as well, less people can afford to buy the fuel so prices may stay high but the stock of ice products on the market would stagnate, less and less motivation for people to mine it.
This fuel change is far from ready to be released and you need to seriously rethink it a lot more. I'll give you a contrast by providing you with the non sov fuel per a month of one of my towers right now.
324000 Nitrogen Isotopes 5760 Coolant 3750 Mechanical Parts 18000 Oxygen 720 Robotics 28800 Liquid Ozone 10300 Heavy Water 2880 Enriched Uranium
I appreciate you guys going back and making some changes to the actual functions of the pos's, its past the point of being overdue, there are many other areas of POS functions that deserve looking into futher that I hope the devs will actually spend time on. I would be happy to elaborate on those but thats a different topic for a different time. CCP needs to seriously re-think the # of blocks per hour used and dial back the amount of fuel each "Pellet" uses because this is ludicrous and unsustainable for anyone that doesn't own a bot net of 0.0 ratting accounts. Most eve players that lived in null know who I refer to. |
