So many 'omg my BPO won't be safe in a station anymore!' tears :D What part of risk vs reward don't you people understand? You want safety? Enjoy copying your BPO to keep it safe.
Also I'm loving the indirect effect on the production of super caps this is going to have. My YouTube Channel - EVE Tutorials & other game related things! |

Why though? The entire reason for the POS restriction in high sec to be lifted is because they are going to be much less needed as research platforms. So if anything, I think a lot of people will be taking down their POS because 2 month long waiting lines in stations are going to be a thing of the past.
Now the challenge of effeciency is no longer to have a POS, but to find the most cost efficient station to do research at. Are you going to take that expensive station 1 jump away, or are you going to move your operation to that cheap station 16 jumps away and have a bigger profit margin?

Nullsec is the endgame of EVE it's supposed to be better.
EVE is a sandbox all career paths should be equally catered to not just one.
Incentivising Nullsec does not need to come at the expense of Highsec or any other space.
Adding additional costs to POS by some magically tax is daft.
we don't need to hire workers, production is automated and the pos fuel includes the items required to keep things running smoothly so it's not a maintenance tax, it's just a hey we can't think of anything so lets add a tax. really boring game design imo.
I'm holding off on any major crying until the rest of the blogs are released though as it "hopefully" isn't as bad as it currently seems.
Also one last thing, don't get your hopes up for that UI making it into the game, remember PI it looked great and we got an RSI inducing circle clickfest :P
Risk vs Reward has always been the backbone of EVE gameplay (and any other MMO in existance). The safer you are trying to be, the less rewarding your activities will be. The more risk you take, the higher your rewards will be. There is nothing wrong with that and the current changes are all good in my book.
Nullsec isn't an endgame, but it certainly is one of the most rewarding areas of the game. It is up to the player if they want to risk reaping those rewards or not. I live in high sec, enjoy being in high-sec. But I reap the rewards of null-sec on an almost daily basis because I dare to take the risk.

Now can you guys add the atrocious PI interface to the list of industry UI's that need changed?

Will you be able to, e.g., run an infinite number of ammo jobs from a single ammo assembly array? Yes, slots are being removed on everything, however, cost scaling will still be applicable to Starbases as well. Please wait for the appropriate blog for more details. Wait, what?! So what is my incentive to pay 300 000 000 isk a month for fuel if i still have to pay for production slots???? Starbases will have reduced tax cost next to NPC station, and mobile labs / assembly array will have more efficient ME / PE lines. There has still not been a satisfactory explanation as to WHY the scaling taxes apply to POS owners. Its okay for you to keep saying wait until the Blog appears, but thats not an answer. The other changes like BPs having to be in a POS etc. whilst not been popular, are logical and make sense. So do scaling taxes in NPC stations. But to start applying taxes to something which is nothing to do with an NPC corp and is the sole responsibility of a player, just reeks of CCPs desperation to remove ISK from the game. If it is an ISK sink, surely it makes sense to slow down the source of ISK and not apply silly illogical taxes that most POS owners ive spoken to find ludicrous.
First and foremost it's a game mechanic and provides an ISK sink. Period. If you desperately need an in-lore answer, instead of licking your way up the Empire's asses, you can now bribe them to allow a POS in any space.
There's your answer. My YouTube Channel - EVE Tutorials & other game related things! |
