Seriously. Do you want to just kill the game? It is good intent to create "blocks" that people can use to fuel, but you are going about it all wrong and will harrass to stop people from using POSes all together.
First this is the "new" block for 1/hour for Small tower:
8x Coolant
4x Enriched Uranium
400x relevant racial Isotope
4x Mechanical Parts
20x Oxygen
1x Robotics
150x Heavy Water
150x Liquid Ozone
Well the current need for 1/hour for a Small tower is:
2x Coolant
1x Enriched Uranium
113x relevant racial Isotope
2x Mechanical Parts
7x Oxygen
1x Robotics
38x Heavy Water
38x Liquid Ozone
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE?
What is wrong with that picture is ... you are actually having to spend more fuel on a Small tower up to a Large. These changes are going to increase the POS fueling FOURFOLD !! With the changes planned to PI and customs office, the price of fuel will go through the roof. Now, with the increased fuel needs small corporations will stop putting down POSes; thanks again for looking out for the solo or small pilot out there. Now Tech 2 prices will go through the roof because the small corporations won't be able to afford to do invention anymore trying to just maintain a Small POS. All your big-block organization will control all the moon goo AND the PI market because the small guys won't be able to compete, keep a custom office going, and afford the increased cost of fuel.
At a minimum make the Block Size of the fuel blocks the same as it is with a current small tower. And don't even get me started on the Racial tower. I got Racial towers for the pure fact that I don't have to spend so much ISK a month on fueling costs.
Thank you Greyscale for not getting out your calculator or LOOKING AT THE CURRENT GAME to see how things work. Thanks for again pushing the little corporations out of lo-sec/0.0, pushing out the solo players that enjoy this game, and catering to those large RMT alliance that could give a rats arse how much fuel costs because they have tons of PLEXes sinking into the game and macroers mining ice 24 hours a day. I've been fueling POS for 4+ years in the game, please ask the normal people what would be good improvements to the POS fueling system.
And it's not that hard to use a spreadsheet and calculator to do POS fueling. The ONLY nice thing in this dev blog is the decrease in anchoring/un-anchoring time and the Fuel Bay size so don't have to refuel so often. |
