I just had a whole post, but the forms ate it...aweseome...
basically, how is this new 'instillation cost' going to effect new items released on patch days? Since at first they will have 'no value' then will shortly have an extremely marked up value.
How will current MAX-RUN copies be dealt with if you are going to increase the MAX-RUN ceiling? Should i make sure i have no extra MAX-RUN copies by the time this hits?
Have you (CCP) even considered this, or is this (again) a new concept for you?
Now to address the POS thing. Your public attitude is terribad toward POS owners atm. How can you justify releasing something that drastically changes how POS's will be used without FIXING the POS system. Your changes will help very acute parts of dealing with a POS, but will multiply and compound the worst parts of it. And your attitude is "suck it up and see"???? |

Stations can have different ratings for manufacturing and research. These are not huge numbers, but because they multiply together they can have a big effect. In manufacturing, the current record-holder in empire space is Nonni, with a multiplier of around 0.48 - building things in Nonni will, all other things being equal, halve the cost of installing a job.
Okay, here's where i'm most confused...
So, you start by saying that all NPC stations in empire have multipliers that range between 0.95-0.98. Then you say that Nonni has a 0.48.
How does 0.48 fall between 0.95 and 0.98 ????
And having said that, if all the station multipliers range between .95-.98, how exactly is .75 "mid range system"???
Do i really need to go back to college and get an accounting degree to understand this stuff?
Also, i did not see any info on exactly what types of stations give the better 'bonuses' to reducing the cost, is there any way players can find this info?
I'm also confused on the point where it was said that the more eligible stations in a system will grant a discount to the costs, but isn't that then offset by the number of jobs that will be in that system b/c there are alot of stations that off the 'slots' so to speak? (yes i know, slots are dead) |
