Too bad. You already failed not realizing its the Aryth club.

The only way you can give a confidence interval is if you know how accurate your measurement is. If you don't know how accurate it is, you haven't made a measurement and you certainly can't come up with a confidence interval. Same with this new industry system.

My brain aches

Are you on a mission to make industry as complicated as possible so people give up on it so you can justify introducing microtransactions for stuff? or have you got shares in various pharmaceutical companies as people have breakdowns trying to work out how much how long and how the heck to build something.

What I don't understand is that you've just said you can do this with the market sell price - so why can't you do this with the other variables?

Dear God I thought the first couple of blogs had some rough spots in them. This whole thing is a terrible idea. This will promote a lot of volatility in items that are material intensive while leaving others completely unaffected. I was fully expecting "teams" to mean cooperative gameplay for industrial players. This is solving a problem that doesn't even exist while creating a hundred new ones.

Consider introducing random constellation, regional locked teams i.e. they are only willing to work within certain 2-3 constellation or 2-3 regions.
This global auction makes things a little too chaotic and panders to those with the biggest stick.

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?

It's BS from start to finish. As I said before, I'm out. Somebody else can do all the work for meagre gains (compared to doing almost anything else in Eve). It was an interesting hobby for a while.

Take your tinfoil elsewhere please, this is a thread for grown ups.

Will there me multiple specialized teams per system or will players be forced to constantly move around?

I don't really get it... It just looks like confusion and complexity are being added for no reason.

I love the concept though at first glance it seems the guys (alliances) with the biggest wallets will get the better teams and corner the market...specially if you are the only one having access to those teams. I'm thinking in deep null sec alliances, who btw, are also getting a big buff to industry from the other changes introduced this summer. We'll have to see how it plays out but the little guy in high sec seems to be screwed once more.

Apply some actual skill and knowledge into the game?

The biggest problem with industry in Eve at the moment is that it's been reduced to click buttons in spreadsheet/app -> install jobs that you're told are most profitable.

The best thing coming out of the game changes is the industrial landscape will be constantly changing - giving the real industrialists who know their markets the possibility of making huge profits.

If you didn't consider a functionally anonymous system within EVE that promoted no player interaction a problem then sure. This probably looks worse.

Can I have your blueprints?

You do remember that this is a video game that many people undertake for entertainment and relaxation, yes? Most people are doing production as a way to make in-game money to purchase ships and modules and not as some sort of exercise in supposed mental superiority.

I am just glad we have you here to defend these new systems that promote the "player interaction" of bidding against a nameless faceless opponent on the other side of the universe. Or are you just applying more Goon lips to the devs' asses? Hard to tell.

Currently, it only lists top 5, to keep the notification from being very long in some cases. The intel gathering aspect of this is intended.

No interaction at all. Now HUGE INTERACTION!

Which system is going to have stronger bidding capability, a Nullsec system with one station, or a highsec system with 4-5 manufacturing stations that's flooded with risk averse industrialists?
