What are the sort of broad/narrow specialties when it comes to non-ships (or are ships the only thing that teams boost)? How narrow or broad are they (e.g. is narrow like "small lasers", "lasers" or "mega beam laser IIs only" and is broad like "mods", "armor mods" or "active armor taking mods")?

You guys at CCP really don't get it, do you.
What industrialists want, in real life or otherwise:
1. Cost certainty 2. Minimized risk for return (both in capital investment and getting shot at) 3. Minimizing non-productive time (you know, like what you are supposedly addressing with the UI changes)
In all 3 areas, you have managed to create the exact opposite. "cost certainty" isn't what industrialists want, it's what people who can't think want
as someone who can adapt i want cost uncertainty because then i can outcompete the idiots who can't figure stuff out without two years worth of experience being told exactly what to do Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

If I don't have that number available I'm not going to make it. If you think there's a "trick" here where you can make a killing in ISK by not knowing that number, you're an idiota.
that's why we're going to make so much money: because we're not risk-averse pansies and can charge high margins as you flee the market Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

Max Kolonko wrote: Also the cost of teams is applaid to normall team cost? So for example if it costs 1 000 000 for normal workers on a specific job than it would be 1 800 000 for +18% cost team?
+18% means it would be 1,180,000 not 1,800,000 Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

It's like physics: If you don't know what your measurement error is, you haven't made a measurement. If you don't know what risk you're taking, you haven't taken a risk, you've just played roulette. Also calling me a pansy for wanting to run my Eve hobby as I'd run a business, rather than simply pillock about like a day trader on coke. That's mature. Very mature. all of the risks you're taking are known and can be factored in
it's just that requires thinking and adaptation, something the average highsec industrialist flees from as fast as his chubby little legs let him
good business is about taking calculated risks Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

for this game you pay $5 to enter, and get $10 if the random number we pick between 1 and 10 is lower than eight and nothing if it's eight, nine or ten

I think you're just on here to troll. i'm running a business that sees that this activity has a positive expected value, and shoves money through it and other things with positive expected value
though some may be busts, overall I make money because i am able to understand things like expected value and tell the difference between gambling and wise but risky investment

Because I can afford to put a 30d build of the most expensive BPOs on every slot my characters have.
wrong move: put in a 27d one, so you can then shove in a second 30d one and get double bonus off the team Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

Next : 1) How are team stacking handled? e.g. if 2 teams with overlapping bonus are hired. 2) Is there a cap to the maximum number of teams that can be hired by the solar system? 3) How many teams will CCP spawn on patch day? Is there an estimate?

the solution to bid sniping is ebay-style bids where you give it a max and it .01 isks for you up to that max
you put in your max bid, if it's sniped then your max bid was exceeded, if you're unhappy about that you should have put in your actual max bid Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

Ludacrys wrote:To me this seems like a blatant high sec nerf, nullsec boost.
They are doubling the cost of jump freighter fuel They are allowing for people to spend money on teams that give up to 5% ME, why would i spend ISK on something everyone can use? the answer is you wont unless you also control the system (0.0, WH, etc) Outposts on top of that have another 5% ME
Not to mention the changes to ore and mineral compression
CCP wants people in 0.0 but i think the problem is the blobbing system that always benefits the people with power, CCP really needs to boost asymmetrical warfare or people will never go to 0.0 unless they are renters or pets how in the blazes is doubling the cost of jump freighter fuel, something highsec doesn't use, a highsec nerf and a nullsec boost Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

Marsan wrote: Why would a corp wanting to do industry in an outpost need a security deposit? Honestly from most NS alliance I'd want a deposit held by a 3rd party that the alliance wouldn't lock me out the outpost. Goons more than most.
it's quite simple: when you have blue standings you can awox people and cause trouble until you're expelled. this is a well known and common problem in null alliances, and the security deposit is an elegant solution: it's held for a few weeks and generally covers the amount of damage you could do before we reacted and is used to compensate any victims. if you don't awox (and generally, awoxers are impatient) within a few weeks it's refunded.
it's really as much for your benefit as ours, as you can then be sure if the guy next to you goes rogue you're protected. Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |
