I like the changes you've made. But there is still no mechanism to transfer PI materials inside a POCO. How about allowing contracts? |

I hope this doesn't get lost in the many many pages of responses here, but I have a question relating to the tariff levels.
I know that you are intending that a tariff level of 5% would mean PI taxes at the same level that they are now. But do you intend to amend the tariff rates for each PI export? The ratio for each export varies wildly:
The current tariff rates are:
P0 0.1
P1 0.76
P29
P3600
P450000
Comparing this against the average market prices for each PI tier you can see that the Tax Ratios per PI tier are not even. P4 materials are especially penalised.
tax ratio (x1000)
P11.70
P21.26
P310.59
P448.42
Do you intend to ever 're-balance' the tariff levels for each tier so that they are more in line with each other? |

- Customs offices can be anchored inside POS force fields or right on a station undock as long as the distance to the planet is small enough.
- Drones ignore orders to attack customs offices.
- Customs offices have extremely small (100m) sig radius, so any missiles larger than heavies don't apply full damage.
- Taxes for P0 items are larger than P1, and both are very different from the expected values.
Keep in mind, this is what people found despite all the obstacles to acquire a gantry on Sisi. Who knows what will actually surface once everyone is using them on TQ. Not sure about the tax, I'd have to check with design on that, but the rest of those have already been fixed this week. I personally quite liked the CO in the POS setup, emergent and cool but unfortunately has the potential to break things so you won't be seeing that on TQ.
I posted something earlier (page 13 I think) but basically take an average market price for each PI item (using best sell order and best buy order price in Jita) and then make and average price for each PI tier - P0 to P4. Compare that to the basic PI tax levels. You'll find that the ratio (PI tax / market price) differs markedly for each PI level. The ratio for P1 and P2 is pretty similar. P0 is above that for P1/2. P3 is about 6-8 time larger than P1/2 and P4 is about 30-40 times larger than P1/2
(EDIT: my post can be found here - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=372829#post372829)
Additionally, have you considered that a 10% tariff rate in highsec doesn't really leave much of a margin for lowsec/nullsec POCOs to entice PI neutrals out to use them instead of highsec. |

Seems like they've gone with the upper end of the values.
Quote:Taxation
*Tax % is taken off the material's taxable value.
**This value is set by CCP and is based off the market values in November 2011
**Import is always half of export tax
*The taxable value are the same for all items in the same tier
**Advanced Commodities: 1,350,000.00 ISK
**Specialized Commodities: 70,000.00 ISK
**Refined Commodities: 9,000.00 ISK
**Basic commodities: 500.00 ISK
**Planet Resources: 5,00 ISK
Tested just now on Sisi. Imported and exported on a highsec CO (10% tariff rate). Import cost was at 5%, export was at 10%. |

Use dreads then. and the 17% tax really isn't that high for the lowends for extraction and POS fuels. Just replace the few you use for high ends, if you have any. |
