This a) prevents the removal of extra materials giving invention an extra-hard kick, and in particular b) prevents every invented T2 item from requiring two of the relevant T1 items (due to always rounding up materials). This will probably put all invented BPCs in the 1-5% ME/2-10% TE range, with decryptors adjusted to match. This would be absolutely great. It would put invention on a more even footing with T2 BPO manufacture, and would also solve the extra materials dilemma.
Please keep in decryptors though, if anything I'd like to see more added in future with more unique and different bonuses. That way clued up inventors can customise their production chains more effectively by selecting the right decryptors for their needs.
CCP Greyscale wrote:Have another look at NPC nullsec stations, see if they need some assistance. Great again, very happy to see this is on the agenda. There are quite a few NPC null sec manufacturers that would be adversely affected due to the poor quality of stations compared to high sec and low sec.
CCP Greyscale wrote:We're currently leaning heavily towards calculating ME for the job as a whole, not per-run, probably with a limiter that requires every run always consumes at least one of every material (to prevent 9 apocs -> 10 paladins shenanigans). I don't see why not just calculate it on a per run basis, that would make a lot more simple and make more sense in my opinion. But I am quite ambivalent on this issue really as I will just adapt to whatever method you decide implement.
I really like the changes anyway and thank you for the continued feedback. |

If you will be able to invent better ME but it will cost proportionally more, the cost will remain the same, probably also the profit. Whats the point really? If its really because of the problems CCP Greyscale highlighted, i.e. extra materials and need of 2* t1 item, isnt it overkill? Isnt there really any reasonable way how to bypass those issues without changing all decryptors and materials needed for all items? From an inventor's POV, depending on how decryptors are handled, it's not a major change. It's a more major change from a T2 BPO perspective, but they should still be perfectly profitable to make (after all, there's no invention cost involved, which is reasonably major) and they can run for longer, which drops the build cost further. They are also able to get to ME10, whereas a T2 BPC will still be able to get to a maximum of ME5. So T2 BPO holders are still going to be sitting on a golden egg. I don't see why CCP don't just go the whole hog and make decryptors allow a T2 BPC to achieve ME10. |

This will probably put all invented BPCs in the 1-5% ME/2-10% TE range, with decryptors adjusted to match. We may adjust T2 build costs upwards across the board to put the net T2 resource usage roughly where it is currently, so we don't end up nerfing the demand for T2 components. (This obviously also serves to close the gap somewhat between invention and T2 BPOs; this is not a goal here but it's an acceptable side-effect.)
At the moment BPO = limited numbers of production at an advantage of material cost BPC = unlimited numbers of production at a disadvantage of material cost Proposed BPC = unlimited numbers of production at a slight to null disadvantage of material cost BPO = ??? There is a interaction between the two in the current environment - an advantage matching a disadvantage. Your proposal plus improvements to other parts of invention (removal of clickfest) will make tech 2 production simply a slightly more complicated version of tech 1 production. Margins will erode and the perverse effect will probably be a less vibrant market as most people move to manufacturing for their group's consumption, like tech 1 is now. edit: Modules and ships are different - ME currently has little effect on modules material requirement but has a large effect on ship material requirement. Perhaps as a compromise you have your change affect only module BPC's.
BPO still has the advantage in ME, plus the advantage in not needing to pay for the invention jobs and materials (including expected losses from failures), plus the advantage of being able to set up longer runs and thus leverage the batch discount better.

It's not totally special-casing, it's just keeping this structure targeted at what it's supposed to be solving - capital manufacturing - with minimum of possible unintended consequences. Boosting T2 component manufacturing also is interesting and hard to explain not doing; boosting fuel blocks, RAMs and other things built in a normal component assembly array just because they had to go *somewhere* adds risk that we don't feel like taking on right now :)

Like... NOT breaking research by moving to whole %s, sloppy rounding reduction instead of increase, rounding at the job level and and always rounding up? NOT breaking high sec POS by moving to infinite slots with no scaling to jobs in a particular facility? Not crushing small corps with the massive advantage teams and outpost material reductions will give to the mega power blocks?
You're continued thrashing about with last minute hacks simply show that none of this industry change was actually thought threw.
What easily could have been simple UI updates instead is game breaking, destroying industry for all but those in the mega power clocks.

The proposed changes to ME on tech 2 BPCs are welcome (as a partial solution to the T2 BPO problem) but also will cause a dramatic shakeup in the value of decryptors.
Currently for module/ammo production (which drives the price of Symmetry and sometimes the cheaper decryptors) PE is the most important stat and ME is relatively unimportant.
For small ship production and small to medium rigs, invention throughput (expected runs * total probability) is the most important stat and ME and PE are relatively unimportant.
For medium ship and large rig production (which drives the price of Accelerant decryptors) a combination of throughput and ME matter.
And finally for large ship and capital rig production (which drive the price of Process decryptors) ME is almost all that matters.
This whole ecosystem will be shaken up as much by these proposed changes as they were when Odyssey made decryptors cheap enough to use (outside of HICs and larger ships where they were already worthwhile).
I am not opposed to such changes, but I do need to prepare for them.... Set the universe on fire - then sell the survivors ash. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. If you want to mine in highsec, read www.minerbumping.com. |

I've heard about research credits being proposed, but we'd need to come up with something that's comparable to the effort put in that will replace the "pre-effort" post patch in a comparable way. (for example a BS bpo to ME100 pre-patch would take 6 months, post patch it's also going to take 6 months. But those that have put in just 45 days into an ME10 now can expect to catch up on the patch for a serious disadvantage.
I disagree with the "meta" idea, as this would not compensate the effort spent.
ie: I agree if someone researched a BS bpo to ME300, I don't think they should get much more then someone that has one with ME100, but there is a significant number of bpo's out there that have been researched between 50-100, that without some compensation will obliterate trillions of isk of investment and years of research effort. We put up our own pos's, fueled them, defended them from wars for years.
CCP Greyscale, we need you to "get 100% committed" that something is going to be done here please. What other ideas have been presented that you all feel would be a good balance?

That represents a saving of a million isk / run for some modules, which is hardly wasted. That's why I previously argued for some sort of diminishing return research time credit, which I still would argue to be the fairest way to compensate folks.
Another (perhaps simpler to implement) solution would be to award BPCs for limited edition items such as Gecko drones, T2 items / ships (at a high ME/PE), faction items, etc. with the number / quality awarded varying according to how researched the bpos were. |

Yes, I like this... An ME300 should NOT get 3x's more then an ME100. And I'd be fine with Gecko drones, other items, T2 stuff, faction whatever, but it should be something that is at least comparable to the cost and time spent to get them.

People train for stuff for years at considerable cost ingame and rl at times, for ships and or modules etc, that oftentimes get nerfed into the ground. They don't get "compensated" for it. (exceptions being maybe a skill that goes away and the sp are refunded)
I don't think ccp owes us a damned thing for over-researched bpo's.

I got to about page 26 and then ran out of time (and patience). Some brief thoughts:
1. In general I welcome the changes.
2. I an concerned about the time it will take to research a BPO from ME/TE 9 to ME/TE 10 for substantial items.
3. Bin T2 BPOs but offfer compensation.
4. I don't think those with over-researched BPOs need compensation as they have already enjoyed the (tiny) cost reductions their (large) time investment have afforded them.
5. I can also see issues (fairness & ownership) with awarding BPO compensation: A) Those possessing the BPO may not have researched it B) Which alt gets compensation for a BPO bought with corp wallet and/ or sitting in a corp hangar?
6. If BPO compensation is given then compensate the right thing. Compensate the cost advantage (e.g. 0.00258%) they would loose not the time (e.g. 2+ weeks) they thought it was worth.

Agreed. Any 'compensation' shouldn't give them more of an advantage that years of selfishly clogging up research lines did. Rather it should just be some dismally irrelevant plumage bonus that they wouldn't recognise as such anyway. Have their BPOs produce shiny BPCs like Pokemon cards or some such crap.

50 is ludicrously over researched and 10 is currently under-researched. No one is going to be building battleships with ME10, so it is a crap comparison. Try a sensible value like comparing current ME 14 and 50.
Then remember that everyone with an ME 14 BPO will have a perfect one in the new system. Picking current ME 10 as the rounding value really doesn't impact current blueprint collections, it is just as good of a number to pick as any.
Even if CCP went for ME14 as the rounding base, the only people it would affect are those researching now for the round up as every other BPO being produced with is going to be at or above optimal. It really doesn't matter if it is 10 or 14 for those people, there is plenty of time to get 14 on any sub-capital and capitals are all perfect long before 14 anyway.
It really is just semantics. No one is hurt by this except the people that thought an ME50 battleship bpo is worth more than an ME15 one. Anyone know knows better will have an ME 15 one and doesn't care.
The fact we even need to discuss this is just building the case for what an excellent set of changes these are. Apprentice Goonswarm Economic Warfare Consultant - Drowning in entitlement and privilege.-á |

See when you're sent to jail, youre required to actively be in jail for that time, it isnt just something you can do in the background as you go out and work your job and live your life.
You know what does work passively in the background while you live your life? Investment funds ... gee, its almost as though researching BPOs is an investment.
Yeah, that would work out all well and fine, if I was planning my retirement. :P And you would be locking out your science lines, so in effect you may not be in jail, but your character is technically locked from whatever skill slots you assigned to that research for a very long time. I would like to play the game more actively, not wait to play it, when I'm say, 80. In real life, you can have an unlimited amount of investment funds, so it's a little unfair to apply that to one character in a game, that only has several skill slots. And those skill slots were designed to be used a little more pro-actively, than what they are proposing now. Unless they want to get rid of those slots all-together too? Wouldn't that be a new wrinkle. Even if you could, I don't know why you would. I pay to play this game, not have it passively play in the background for me. Exaggerated figures and all. I think you get the overall gist of my problems with this new system. Oh I agree it is a problem; just not to the scale that you think it is... That said, I have called for a move to a 100 level system from a 10 level one several times for that reason. I just disagree with you use of hyperbole as an adequate description of the situation.

Quoted to emphasize importance of this question. This definitely needs a prompt decision and even more prompt publication of said decision.

Given the proposed changes to invention bpcs has any thought been given to improving the ME/PE of of the 2 run bpcs found through exploration - at the moment these are better than you can manage via invention. If invention bpcs are improved that will lower the value of these exploration drops. |

Not yet, but we'll think about it at least. |

Perfect, thank you very much for the fast reply and the in my opinion correct decision
And regarding exploration BPCs, I'd suggest you simply apply whatever increase of ME/TE you plan for invented BPCs. So for example if invention yields a -4/-4 per default now and gets upped to 0/0, then a current 0/0 exploration BPC will convert to a +4/+4 one. Tweak numbers according to actual conversion rules, but the solution might be already sufficient. The number of exploration T2 BPCs is imho small enough to not create a big disturbance in case the "buff" might go a bit overboard (would really like an official hint on the rough ratio of exploration BPCs to their invention counterparts).

then ccp need to cut amount harvested moon goo to compensate lower demand for moon goo in t2 bluprints ex -10% :)
we dont want useless moons like gases etc |

Lower demand? It was stated that material numbers might need adjustments so they stay roughly the same with current effective values. Therefore I doubt the few rare cases of material decrease are enough to justify a broad moon goo volume nerf.
