Perhaps I'm the only one that hoped that Teams would be something we could make in a corporation with corp mates. The quality of the team could have been skill based from the science/production skills averaged across the team, the better the training the better the team.
Give us another reason besides invention and research agents to train those science skills.
Just seems like we created a system that takes that content creation away from teams of people and puts it in some NPC isk sink that new players will likely treat as just that much more information overload. In my opinion it would have been better that interested Indy players looking to form teams would/could find people interested in Indy stuff and collectively learned and formed teams/corps/alliances based on mutual advantage(of being that team).
Indy folks will continue to find other Indy folk without that kind of help or bonus but man that would have been cool.
Seems between making POS's less useful(remote copy and research not a thing, new costs, redundant labs/slots, new higher fuel prices from isotope change), Blueprint changes(often corp or group researched researched blueprints having been extensively researched being a waste of time), and all the fun new Isk sinks we aren't making much easier to understand other then the ME/PE of new folks buying blueprints and maybe the UI.
T2 BPO's still exist, there isn't a useful market for invented T2 BPC's, their are all sorts of new calculations and fee's to wrap you head around, their is a new NPC team thing that you'll want to keep an eye on somehow(they work like decryptors but for manufacturing jobs but you can't buy them, you have to win an auction, and then they only come to that system...) [nevermind that we didn't actually have the renamed/new decryptors defined for bonuses in the Evelopedia till Feb 2014 - they came out summer 2013-#offtopicgripe)
Just all seems a bit of a hot mess. I'll be willing to admit I was wrong if it all turns out flowers and sunshine but at this point it feels like somebody who thought they knew how a lot of players did Industry but didn't do it themselves asked a few "Indy" folks who did Indy solo for big alliances... I feel like a dad who knows he's going to get an ugly tie for Christmas, gotta practice my "Wow, what a pretty box!"
"Wow, what a pretty box!"
