Again, great blog - thanks to the proof reader... still needs moar graphs and faction mods =P
The rebalance between reprocessing / wastage will really pay off. Thanks for fixing this.
Can we get an indication of what the tiering or ranks will be for all categories of BP... as you say, Ammo will be rank 1 (so a three day research time for may ME). What will be in the higher ranks, and how will this telescope?

You're putting all long term researchers into a competitive disadvantage and aside from "give us ideas to make you happy" don't seem to have done anything at all to mitigate that.
I dislike this design a lot because it negatively impacts me personally. Combined with the removal of standings requirements for anchoring high-sec POS and the proliferation of slots in stations I feel like everything I've worked for has been made pointless.
I'm not certain that I can think of anything you can do to make this up to people like me in-game as I cannot imagine how you can return the one thing that is constantly required in Eve Online to become good at the game -- time.
Months and months of my effort have been spent in these areas of the game trying to become "good" at it. What compensation for that loss is there really?
I think we need to be careful about using emotive language like "effort" here. I don't confess to having many insanely researched BPOs, but even the ones I do have were built up passively over time. Words like "effort" should apply to people who've gamed insane standings, not silly 0.000000000000000000000000000001% improvements on manufacturing costs.
We need to be honest, the ME system as it is stupid. Fixing it will be good for the game longer term. |

Rigs? Are all modules going to be rank 2? And how will this telescope for higher rank items that have lower component quantities (i.e. Caps - I'm guessing we'll be able to cut ME research at about level 4 or 5 to get perfect build costs, or are we really going to need to chase insanely long research times for the competitive edge?)
/Theo I'd have to make a public-ready spreadsheet for this, and honestly it's probably easier for you to do it yourselves :) Take the current ME research time in seconds, divide by 6000, and that's the rank for that blueprint.
Thanks for this. Just to be clear - the telescoping is a straight multiplication of the Rank 1 times in the Devblog?
