Win WIN!!! To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

I would like to know if CCP plans to include faction/corporation standings of players/corporations into the formula for the price of new manufacturing jobs. Something like what works for the broker fees - better standings with station owner means lower prices. I think this would be very appropriate, as CCP now removes the need of standings to anchor POS. It would also more encourage players to at least try missions or grind some standings... (COSMOS anyone?)

Actually, QUESTION!
So. If you're removing the standing requirement for anchoring POSes because it doesn't add gameplay value, will you also be removing the standing requirement for installing jumpclones?
That said, if you're removing standings requirements and standings now only really matter for taxes/agent access, will you be adding new standing-gated rewards to LP stores or something like that? Pretty please? Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs. |

Quote:Remove the ability for players to use stations to safely store their blueprints without putting them at risk in Starbase structures. Players will still be able to start their jobs remotely (via the use of Supply Chain Management and Scientific Networking skills), but will now have to move their blueprints directly into the starbase structures that require it, like other materials.
This is the worst single idea I have ever seen from a dev. DO NOT DO THIS CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!
We already risk a large amount of isk in just having the labs/datacores/decryptors and all of the copies needed out at a pos. Forcing us to either risk a huge amount more than that, or move the bpos to other much more populated stations that are already overpopulated (that don't have corp offices available or available for anywhere near a reasonable price) and incur a high cost that will greatly reduce production profit or negate it all together, is a horrible change. You as devs do not understand the amount of bpos required to make copies for t2 invention. And you clearly don't understand the organization and the necessity of being able to efficiently access bpos and the time commitment that industry already takes. It is incredibly shortsighted and ignorant of you to assume that it is only a slight amount of isk that we will be risking. We use and need easy access to hundreds of bpos to make the copies we need to be able to do invention. Asking us to risk multiple billions in bpos is insane. And no, I know I don't have to keep all of the bpos I am not using at the pos. However, the addition of moving around the needed bpos from the station to the pos adds an additional step and organizational nightmare to an already complicated system. Because of the nature of industry NOTHING you do with the UI and other new features will change this.
This change will also create an additional hassle organizational nightmare for players who need to find or move bpos around. Industry is already complicated enough without having to deal with moving all of the bpos around. DO NOT take away our ability to organize bpos in one central station corp office so multiple characters can easily have access to them and can quickly and efficiently install jobs. DO NOT make us do more work and take more time to do industry jobs.
Another severely overlooked issue that this creates: This removes the ability of safely sharing bpos by locking them down in corp hanger in a station. BPOs can't be locked down at a pos. This change will limit how and where we can play severely. It forces people who want to play together to use certain systems and certain stations, to pay for spots at those stations and it practically makes setting up a pos a waste of time and effort, because it limits its usefulness. In the culture of eve (griefers/corp thieves/all) this change removes several much needed elements of safety that allow us to enjoy playing and interacting with a larger player base.
If you have decided to do this, as is suggested by other statements in this dev blog, because you haven't worked out how to deal how the slot change affects pos mods, then DO NOT make this change until you come up with a better solution. Because this is NOT the way to make this change happen.
POSes are expensive, take time, effort and a good amount of isk to maintain already. Forcing us to risk a considerable amount more and in doing so increase the amount of busy work that is required for doing industry is not a good change.
I personally have been playing Eve for 5 and a half years. Industry is one part of the game that I greatly enjoy doing. If this change does go through I will have to seriously consider if it is worth it to keep paying for my 4 accounts. Many of my friends who like this element of the game are already talking about leaving because of this. I sincerely hope that you will not go through with this change and that the other forthcoming industry changes are much more intelligently and thoughtfully crafted than this. If not, you will be losing a large group of your paying customers.

I'm not ragging because the change, I think it's a good thing because grinding those missions was/is a pain. But I'm pretty mad that I had to spend so many weeks .. for nothing. Same as skilling for refining, now every noob with a POS will be able to refine as good as I do .. wtf?! It wasn't for nothing. It gave you the ability to place POSes and refine perfectly. It was worth doing and it has paid off handsomely.
But like you say, it's a good thing. Having to grind a completely unrelated activity just to be good at industry was ridiculously silly.

I had the same thought and I wanted to wait and see who else would catch on. There is going to be very little industry (research, manufacturing) happening in major hubs like Jita and Amarr due to the %14 cost-share eating profits. People are going to relocate to quieter systems, but still in the close vicinity to the hub like Perimeter and Kor-Azor (respectively) . This in turn adds an additional cost. For the risk/reward does the industrialist take the risk and the cost of shipping for the reward of the competitive market hub, or does he instead attempt to sell the item where he is at?
Eventually though, those too will fill up and production moves another jump out. It will get to the point though that the opportunity cost of shipping is going to exceed the value of the item in a market hub and instead will be sold at the site of production.
Is this the real Burn Jita campaign? Im on to you CCP
I will say at least thanks to CCP for telling industrialists in advance so they can make preparations. Its going to be very interesting after the expansion hits.

The one thing that I disagree with is removing the ability for installing the jobs with the bpos in station, they are locked down to prevent corp theft of the bpos in the first place. There are few if any security measures in place in the POS code to prevent corp theft. Currently you only need a few roles in order to do manufacturing but you can't steal the bpo if its locked down
You need take access in a corp array in order to build, if you have those roles you can simply steal the bpo. This can be solved by making copies but some bpo copes are still worth a lot of isk and can be still stolen.
If the end goal is to have multiple teams working on industry projects, counter measures to be put in place to prevent corp theft as currently they are VERY limited especially in POS's. |

The removal of standings for anchoring POS makes it trivial to evade destruction of your POS. Right now, if you want to move your POS to a new corporation upon wardec, it takes seven (7) days for standings to promulgate to the corporation's standings. This had the effect of severely limiting the amount of "POS cycling" that could occur. With the removal of standings from the equation, it is now a reasonable response, upon being wardecced, to create a new corporation, unanchor the POS under wardec, and sit on the moon in question in a cloaked industrial sitting in the new, unwardecced corporation, ready to anchor a new pos when the old one comes up.
I suggest that a new corporation be required to wait seven (7) days before being eligible to anchor a new pos. This brings the new era in line with the convoluted, yet functional system that exists today. This is a good idea and should get implemented.

I had over 40b in BPOs researching at a single pos at one point, and even then it was hard to justify the cost of fuel. If the BPOs need to be in the labs, that sort of operation is only 24 hours without the right people being able to log in away from complete disaster. |

Mostly good stuff! Two questions/concerns:
Question: now that we'll be able to anchor anywhere regardless of standings...can we also anchor POSes anywhere without needing a moon? (Brah can hope, at least).
Concern: BPOs in POSes...makes this industrialist veeeeery uncomfortable. I'm not concerned about wardecs as much as corp theft. Why make an 'Easy' button for corp thefts like that. Unless you have another trick up your sleeve.

I'm not happy that my faction standings that I worked so hard for are now useless. Did you guys give any thought to the effects on mission runners who were making a business out of POS standings? Or to mission runners in general? Basically, standings are worthless at this point. In effect, they are nothing more than a penalty on those with bad standings, as there is only one remaining benefit -- access to L4s for faction standings of 5+. All other standings above that number are quite literally useless save for the bonus bpc's (big whoop) and a reduction in taxes for trading (also big whoop for everyone but serious traders). |
