And the station's Office Rent costs at the limited number of research stations is going to skyrocket exponentially. It means all those who have offices in systems with no existing research stations will have to move their office and all their stuff to another system entirely.
Also, this will be a nightmare to be forced to build from blueprints that are in POS's, unless they only have to be in the shield and can be used by any array. How is this going to be addressed?
With all the hassle, it might not even be worth many industrialists to continue to have POS's in HS, since they will have to now shuttle all the materials and blueprints to/from each lab/array if they want to do something different with it.
Slightly good news for some of us who like to bash towers of afk-research-alts, but then, why would any of the AFK research alts even need a tower after this?
edit--
Also, that whole 'one window to rule them all' theme didn't work so well last time you tried it....you sure its a good idea to try it again via "Unified Industry" screen? |

I'll post it again, because CCP seems to be ignoring this fact.
Office rent in the few select research stations is going to increase astronomically. It isn't so much risk/reward at this point, more of a matter of logistics. Any corporation with a lot of bpo's that currently most of their members can randomly research/copy will need an office in said stations to keep their BPO's in any remotely organized fashion.
Its either that or have all of the bpo's spread across numerous pilots hangers which then have to be micro managed in order to do the same thing. (even worse functionality than trying to use a POS for corp research after this patch)
I see that within a few months of this, the Office rent in those stations will easily justify the fuel to have a POS instead. But with a POS comes the insane headache that will be constantly moving all of the items between which hangers/labs/arrays they will be used in.
Maybe this will work once you fix POS's to be a mini-station with central storage, but until then, imho, this move is going backwards.
And CCP so please tell me that i'll be able to view more than 10 (or so) blueprints at the same time while searching ALL LOCATIONS EVERWHERE! It looks as if the base 'building' section of that screen is a set size, likely meaning that it will be next to impossible to adjust the size of the window that scrolls through blueprints, thus making it a PITA. |

[quote=CCP YtterbiumletGÇÖs just say youGÇÖll be able to get all the information you need from a single window, without excessive mouse clicks[/quote] I remember hearing this before....oh yeah, the very well thought-out and perfectly-implemented Unified Inventory that had to be instantly changed to allow more than ONE WINDOW for most use-case scenarios.
Nothing could possibly go wrong with the same idea this time... |
