I've got a question: what will be the difference of different races POSes (eg. Caldari, Gallente etc.)? Currently they differ in the CPU/PWG and it affects the number of labs/arrays you can online. In summer all POSes will be equal or do they get any racial differences?

Confirming the new Industry will not do any material rounding until AFTER we multiply by the number of runs, meaning material efficiency discounts due to facility / teams / skills / blueprints / whatever may produce slightly better results with multiple runs.

Greetings.

I notice that the Experimental Laboratory is conspicuous in its absence in this thread.

Does this mean that all stats on it are staying the same and that I can run as many concurrent reversing jobs on it as I have skills for (with the removal of slots)?

Thanks,

Fang

Indeed, the Experimental Lab is not changing at all.

Will there be a lowsec capital component assembly array as mentioned at Fanfest?

All the interesting points in the thread and *that* is the one you choose to respond to?

MDD

This is true, however:

1. Invention requires copies, so it's reasonable to assume that an inventor is copying BPOs to fund his own invention.
2. 3/4 of the research jobs require a BPO meaning there is no way to split the activities up that doesnt guarantee BPOs are in one or the other.

That said, I'd really like an answer about whether ME is calculated per-run or per-job, because it makes a big difference on low-material-count many-runs-per-day things like small rigs.

RTFT, you would have seen this post:

I saw that, but, given all the confusion surrounding it, I wasn't certain that he was actually making sure they were all in. I dunno; I remember it being less clear than that statement.

If that really is the case, it's time to research a bunch of T1 small rig blueprints.

TBF, it's an important clarification.

I suspect a lot of people will simply make BPCs in station for safety sake for any BPO of any real value as copying in station appears to still be pretty cheap, and fast for most items. BPOs are unlike most items in Eve. If my ship explodes or gets stolen I can generally just buy a new one. If I lose a BPO it might take months to fully research another. Even if I'm willing to buy one I may have trouble finding one researched to my desired level and for a reasonable price.

What they really need to do is just give the tower a corporate hangar and remove the corp hangar from all the other POS modules and instead replace them with a bonus to the tower's capacity. That could help solve the problem of not enough space in any one module while another has too much. Granted it does mean you stop being able to separate stuff by structure and tab, so organization suffers.

What they really need to do is make all the anchorable modules into pluggable addons for the POS. Then, they could share storage, support PI-style component routing, etc. A much more elegant design.

But, that's a dream for another time.

Seems like a lot of change has happend due to this thread, but I have yet to see any updates on the Component Assembly Array numbers.

While the increase is nice, its not enough.... At current numbers you can build about 100 components (10 days worth) and thats it due to its limited size. So for me and many others we ahve to install multiple jobs because it won't allow us to build any decent sized batch, and then on top of this you have to move minreals around for every single job install. With the current increase it does up the build batch to about 15 days or gives more play room for 10 day batches, but I still have to move minerals every job install.

Please Re-Look into this.

So round is misleading, we will be doing a CEIL() aka rounding up. If you need 14.1 after all the runs and material efficiency is multiplied out then it will be 15.

These are all very good changes, however, let me reiterate the one thing that is almost universally wanted/requested, and that is....

MODULAR STARBASES!!

There was a thread created years back of this very idea, including CAD/3d models of what this would be like, and ever since, has probably been the most requested/wanted for starbases.

With the pushing back of Indy changes to Crius, will the POS changes also be pushed back? Yes/no/partly?

It's strange post to come from RvB that bashing POS being considered as service you provide, but anyway..they said in the Fanfest (it was answer to question like yours) they will be making CONCORD to fire at any offline POS with no charter in its cargo to clear up the moon for anyone to use them.
