Dracnys 60	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:07:00 - [182] - Quote Jagoff Haverford wrote: I've gotta say, though, that I don't quite get why POS refining is not (currently) going to take a pilot's refining skill into account, and -- if I'm reading things right -- simply assume that everyone using it has perfect skills. All refining, in all locations, should take those skills into account. Otherwise, why bother training them at all? I completely agree. POS refining should take skills into account.
Irregessa Obfuscation and Reflections 100	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:08:00 - [183] - Quote People seem to be confusing ore compression and mineral compression. The changes to compression for the rorq and the POS modules just compensates for the loss of yield due to refining changes, as far as I can see - they are increased by a factor of 1.381. IIRC, mineral compression, as done with 425mm railguns, is not going to be done by the rorq or POS modules. There a 50m3 module is reprocessed into 102492 units of trit. With these changes, it will be 56371 units of trit. That is still over 10-times less volume than the minerals themselves. So it really depends on what is more onerous for the builder - the isk for the minerals or the volume and cost of moving the minerals to where they need to be used to build the components/ships.
Althalus Stenory Flying Blacksmiths 5	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:08:00 - [184] - Quote Either I understand the fact you want / need to "change" the mechanics under reprocessing, by revaluating some advantages to some stuff already existing (ore compression / rorqual / station outposts etc) which is really great, but it's also, in my opinion, just an hidden way to "nerf" once again mineral people get from reprocessing. Maybe I just don't get it (feel free to explain me why it's better, i'd really like to understand), but for now, the only positive points for me are : - Better UI - Useful modules / ship / outposts / new pos items. - Simplify batchs size (all with 100 is just better) - better use in some situations And then, - Mining is again more profitable (well, not sure it's a bad thing) - and the classical "People do not use some kind of stuff, so we fix it by nerfing some other" thing (about ore compression mainly) (I should have said this :D) No really, changes about ore / ice are really nice. The only thing I think is not that good is all about scrap metal processing and mineral compression that'll be not anymore used. Another thing (I should be bad at maths...) : With new dense veldspar refining rates : 100 dense veldspar give 457 trit. So, with reprocessing with all skill at 5 in an NPC station (gives 69.575%?) I get 318 trit (317.95) so it's 3.74% less than before... instead of 2.8% as said in the devblog... What am I doing wrong ? :o
Max Kolonko High Voltage Industries Ash Alliance 376	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:09:00 - [185] - Quote You really should make pos modules refining usie skills instead of flat bonus. Keep the incentive to actually train those skills instead of using 1 day alt on a pos in hi sec Read and support: Don't mess with OUR WH's What is Your stance on WH stuff?

Merging these "Extra Materials" in with the regular materials (and thus affected by Mineral efficiency) would reduce the mineral costs on these T1 ships slightly, and partly alleviating the burden of a diminished Mineral supply. Maybe, maybe not. Because the way waste works is: you have the base materials. The waste is a percentage of that added on top. you cannot reduce the mineral quantity below the base materials. If they add the extra materials to the base materials, you'll get more waste.

That's more or less what I was suspecting would be the case. So now the refining skills that've been trained aren't as useful unless, for example, we were simultaneously hauling in other compressed ice blocks in order to make our own fuel blocks (like if we were using (for god knows whatever reason) Amarr towers in Minmatar-flavored space.

Atomic Option Taggart Transdimensional Virtue of Selfishness 82	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:20:00 - [197] - Quote This is pretty badass, and best of all it makes EVE more sensical and "real". I think the only people who may lose are people who rely on reprocessing loot for income (i.e. noobs in nullsec). Some loot is better when sold, but some of it is (currently) more valuable reprocessed. Have you looked into how this will be affected?

Kadl Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 85	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:27:00 - [200] - Quote I like the changes. There are a couple of spots which seem rough, but in general this is well thought out. Ore and Ice Refining: Advertised percent \| amount of current ore/ice received \| percent of max obtainable (Player Null = 100%) NPC Station (with a highly skilled individual): 72.4% \| 100% \| 83.3% POS High Sec: 75.3% \| 104% \| 86.7% POS Low, Null, and Wormholes: 78.1% \| 108% \| 89.9% Player Null Station (fully upgraded): 86.9% \| 120% \| 100% The lack of any perfect refines is going to tweak some people, not that I am worried. The mass of ways to refine at different percentages is going to result in confusion and encourage development of specialized refiners. The confusion is the result of a varying landscape, which is great. Finding the most profitable place to refine will involve figuring out transportation costs. Player Owned Null Sec stations can be used to provide greater refining profits if the transportation costs are acceptable. The High Sec poses provide a small margin gain, but will need great volume to pay for their fuel. Wormholes will still be disadvantaged, but in comparison with Null Sec this time, and perhaps not too badly. Some rough spots: 1) Scrapmetal processing requires refining skills, but the processing does not get a bonus from them. It might be best to remove the skill prerequisites. 2) Refining ore sounds correct. Reprocessing modules sounds correct. I don't see any gain from combining the names. Remove the scrapmetal prerequisites and no one should worry about whether they are learning refining or reprocessing. The station service can be named Refining and Reprocessing (R&R for short). The POS modules can make it clear that they do not deal with modules and ships by being named Refining Array. The name change lets us reprocess everything, except sometimes you cannot reprocess some things at reprocessing arrays because they are modules. 3) Rocqual's compression method needs to be explained better (instant, industrial mode?, Heavy Water?) 4) Alchemy as others have noted and CCP has acknowledge. 5) Perhaps a reconsideration of meta module mineral levels. This effects mission runners, and a moderate increase in these might put them closer to basic module mineral levels without exceeding it or introducing more minerals. Note this may be an intended nerf, but that could be acknowledged.

Okay, with those ore compression values, mineral compression via 425mm rails will indeed be dead.

electrostatus Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 63	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:29:00 - [204] - Quote I'm not understanding this. You're saying you "want players to invest in reprocessing to get the most out of it." But you're having them now not get 100% refining ability after investing lots of skills but only 69% (no implant, 50% station). That's barely anything for all those skills. It's like the skills are worthless now. But you're also saying that people who did invest all of this will still get 2.8% less than they're currently getting. So the people who invested the most into refining will be getting less? You should make slightly more. Like 0.25% more or so than people are currently getting. Furthermore, isn't this the deep deep future? Refining technology should be able to get you 100%! Asteroid Timer: Know exactly when that roid depletes!

strikethree Technology Acquisition Collective LEGIO ASTARTES ARCANUM 29	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:33:00 - [206] - Quote Look. No matter how you spin it, you are making things harder and taking things away from us. Here is a particularly revealing quote from the dev blog: "Decreasing reprocessing efficiency as a whole affects the outcome of mining, which really doesnGÇÖt need to be nerfed right now." So you are planning on nerfing mining as well in the future. Why do you insist on making things harder and harder and less lucrative to the players? Where is the payoff for me? Where is the ISK to be made for the average player? The end result of all this nerfing will be a game that has no rewards for the person paying to have fun. You nerfed ice belts, you nerfed rats, you nerfed missions, you nerfed the amount and type of loot,you nerfed anoms, when are you going to be giving instead of taking? The only thing I ever remember you (CCP/Eve Devs) giving is artillery and autocannons. They were pointless to train for years and a few years ago, you un-nerfed them... but then nerfed the tracking enhancer. Really, why should I continue giving you my money? Why should I continue giving you my money when you continuously make the game less fun and plan on continuing to do so? What is the draw for the casual player? The person who works 12 hours a day? You LIVE this game so none if this is all that serious to you. I can only visit occasionally, so each nerf makes it more and more impossible for me to have any fun since I can not earn any resources. Ultimately, this game will NOT survive if it is all about alliances and null sec. You need casual players. Lots of them. Stop trying to turn us away by removing the ability to get resources. Actually think about what it is like for us. We can not mine for 6 hours a day. We can not run dozens of a missions a day. We can not run alliances out in null (we can barely even participate in any of the battles!). Think about us please.

Kadl Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 85	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:35:00 - [208] - Quote CCP Ytterbium wrote: Yes, that is one discussion we internally had as well. We tried to find a term that would encompess both reprocessing and refining, but with no avail. The point of merging those two terms however is to make it clear it is the same process and station facility / service ( you can't reprocess both ores and materials at the same time at the moment, and both "reprocess" and "refining" are appearing under the Star Map under the "service" tab). So you cannot reprocess a module at a reprocessing array, but you can at a reprocessing station facility? Also I learn reprocessing so that I can refine ore which is called reprocessing because this is EVE. I learn Reprocessing Efficiency but it does not help reprocessing modules because it is really only for ores, and ices which you would refine. This change just trades one confusion for another. The station service can be Refining and Reprocessing (R&R for short). The reason why you had a hard time finding different terms is because English identifies them as separate processes and combining them will cause confusion.

Adellle Nadair Nuclear Midnight 9	Posted - 2014.03.20 17:38:00 - [210] - Quote Please check your math for the ore compression. Currently on TQ when you compress ore no minerals are lost. Example: Crokite gives 2.652 Zydrine/Unit of Crokite ( 663 / 250 = 2.652 ) Multiplying this by total number of units used to compress Crokite, 1250, gives us 3315, which is the amount of Zydrine given when refining Compressed Crokite. Here is the issue. When you compress ore in the new system MINERALS ARE LOST. Dev Blog Changes: Crokite gives 3.67 Zydrine/Unit of Crokite ( 367 / 100 = 3.67 ) Multiply by the unchanged compression amount, 1250, and you get 4587.5. However the stated refined amount of Zydrine for Crokite stated in the dev blog is 4579. This gives a loss of 8.5 units. This type of loss due to compression occurs in every instance using the new compression numbers. If it is the goal of this change to cause a loss due to compression, please clearly state this in the dev blog. Moving compressed ore already has a sizable cost in fuel and time. Please do not add the additional cost of losing minerals from using compression. If you did not intend for this loss due to compression to occur, please publish an updated dev blog with the corrected refined mineral amounts. Thank you, A side note: - When publishing spreadsheets that many people will pour over, please keep the order of the elements the same in each sheet.
