Quote:This would mean that ME/TE 1 become ME 5%/TE 10%, ME/TE 5-9 become ME 9%/TE 18%, and anything over ME/TE 10 currently move to ME 10%/TE 20%.
So if I have a blueprint with ME 4 that is currently "perfect" under the existing system, it will now require days/weeks to re-perfect it? That seems really odd.
What I expected to see is that the perfect ME/TE for any given blueprint be calculated, and then blueprints transitioned to the new system based on a ratio between their current number and the perfect number. E.g. if I have a blueprint at ME 4, and a perfect ME would be 5, then I'm at 0.8 and should get an ME 8% (or TE 16%) on the new blueprint.
Obviously you won't be able to go with a 100% perfect value as the upper end for a lot of things, since many blueprints have ridiculous upper-ends on that scale, but some reasonable margin would probably make most people happy (e.g. 95% or 98% being the "perfect" ME used to scale the top end of the ratio). |

T2 BPOs should be recalled by the relevant corp and turned into vouchers for giant sums of LP with those respective corps. Items with no obvious corp (e.g. DCU2) should just get randomly assigned to one of the various industrial NPC corps. These vouchers should be tradeable/sellable on the market or at least by contract.
This way you can compensate people with an appropriate amount for their T2 BPOs (e.g. 50b worth of LP for even some of the "simpler" BPs), but you are not creating ISK since LP stores are a sink and not a faucet. Likewise, if people try to cash out all at once, they are going to crash their own markets.
T2 BPOs finally gone, folks are being compensated for market value of those T2 BPOs, but in a way that doesn't generate new ISK or flood the market all at once. Might screw over some mission runners for a while who are hoarding LP but no one was ever promised "stable" LP values... |

You want CCP to compensate you because you can no longer run the same scam under the new system? (nevermind that you still can with any blueprint that has a perfect state at less than 10%, since the new system still won't mark that blueprint "perfect"/"finished" until ME10).

I actually really like this idea, at least in conjunction with what CCP seems to be trying to do. It takes focus away from the BP and pushes that focus onto the external factors; teams/lumpiness. Want TE optimization for your level 5 blueprint? Find a team with that spec or use a POS with its build time advantages.
And bonus points for simplifying BPs to the point that we might actually get decent BPC tools in contract/markets someday. |
