As a high sec player i love how all the commentary regarding possible future nerfing of our income streams are stated as "we are not nerfing such an such a high sec income stream......"for now!...".
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really. |

If the intention is to have 'dedicated' or whatever term you used reprocessing pilots then please refund us all our reprocessing skill points so we can make a dedicated alt to do reprocessing.

I never claimed that the skills were useless, I made a skill plan based on achieving 100% refine with both scrap and ore and now to reach that same level im going to need to make an alt to do it. And even with a dedicated alt im still not going to reach my previous levels but at least it will be as close as i can get.

Ive invested over a year making this toon able to both be implanted for mission running and also getting perfect refines, this strategy was supported by game mechanics when i started playing the game.
I believe it is seriously unfair for me to now basically waste all that refining training to make an alt, which by the way i would then have to faction grind again and get the implant if i wanted the new maximized high sec refine level.
Refunding skill points will not solve the problem I would have to spend months and billions of isk to make a refining alt (something me and many others already have done).
My proposed solution: "Reprocessing" implant RE-90, works exactly like the Genolution "Auroral" AU-79 implant and one would be given to every active account at the time of the new expansions release but it provides the 4% refine implant characteristics and would not stack with the 4% implant that currently exists.

Use a jumpclone. Alternatively, just sell your wares instead of reprocessing them.
So I spend hundreds of thousands (millions?) of SP and billions of ISK, do to its direct relationship to SP' s to then ignore that investment and turn over my reprocessing to someone else?
Or I give up millions in lost missioning efficiency by using a jump clone?
I am what I call a no-lifer and play 10-13 hours a day. No thanks on both these weak ISK losing options, CCP just needs to make the implant option I asked for and "grandfather" existing players there is too much risk and SP' s at stake.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention -- you don't even need the +4% implant to refine scrap metal. The implant no longer affects your efficiency.
Thanks for the heads up, i didnt notice that in the write-up.
cheers!

Maldiro is also my ore refining pilot. I have a mining alt but he only has the skills to mine Pyro IV and Veld IV. The reason for this is Maldiro was my first pilot and was a miner when he started so since perfect refining was possible, I just keep putting SPs into ore refining to both be able to refine ore and scrap metal.
I restate that the only real solution is to grandfather in all existing players with a RE-90 refining plug that functions like the plug that makes your pod golden.

Grandfathering that would give old pilots an advantage a new player could never match. That's a terrible plan. Just accept your skills are different.
You have it wrong; let me show you why:
Let A = the time and ISK required to make a mission pilot for L4's.
Let B = the time and ISK required to make a reprocessing pilot.
Maldiro has spent A and most of B (im willing to pay the extra to fully reach B, I have no problem with this).
A new player can spend A and B and have both a perfect L4 pilot and a perfect reprocessing alt.
I would be forced to spend A, (most of B), then spend B again to achieve the same thing.
Also, the new player understands the environment they are coming into and can make informed decisions about which choices to make in regards to this issue, I did the same when I started playing but now a MAJOR change is being made and I should not be a casualty of that change.
I dont like the change but understand why it is being done and Im not saying it shouldnt be done, just done in a way that is fair to those of us that spent months of time and billions of ISK creating a pilot under the conditions that existed before the proposed changes.

It's not going to happen, sorry. The whole point of these changes is to make refining its own profession that you have to train for separately. It is not considered a "right" to have perfect refines, and never was. It was just so easy to train for before that folks like you have come to view it as your entitlement.
You have two options:
1) Train the skills.
B) Accept sub-standard refines, and perhaps sell wares on the open market instead of needlessly vertically integrating your business. Really, no one is gonna know if you just sell refinables and buy minerals with them to build stuff. It's okay.
Where in my post does it say i feel i have a right to perfect refines (you wont find it so dont put words into my mouth). Im willing to train any additional skills required to reach the new maximal refine result, it is just the implant issue that is the problem.
As to your point B, it has already been addressed by me in a previous post and i will not address it here a second time.

For a single player (like myself) or even for some smaller corps maintaining a POS even in highsec is going to be cost inefficient. How about making the Orca an ore compressor that can only compress highsec ores (so it doesnt take away from Rorqual compression).
That way we small guys can be a part of the new compressed ores market. Otherwise, we are probably going to be losing a lot of income to ore compressing middle men.

There are plenty of us that mine strictly in highsec that are being left out of this new compressed ore model. Many of us either are solo players or we belong to such small corps that a POS is out of the question and the Rorqual cannot be used in highsec.
I suggest that instead of using arrays that instead you add a compression vessel that can be used anywhere and when you do the makeover on the Rorqual you just remove this ability as it would be useless.
To preemptively respond to the statement that will surely be posted, no it isnt acceptable for me to have to share my profits with someone else by selling my ore to them and having them compress it. I got into and am dedicated to mining I should get all the profits there are in this already 'meager' profit making specialty.
