First of all you decide, that you will remove all the slots to improve industry mechanics. Than you realize, that doing this will probably significantly demage ICE / POS fuel market, so you come up with stupidity idea like stacking industry structures. I understand, that developing something is not easy. But developing something in short time gives you more problems than advancements. I am realy periodicaly rading your DEV blogs and most of the DEV forums responces. I am more and more convinced, that only one thing you have for new industry relese finished is graphical interface. But the mechanics are still not completly figured out. Yes new graphical interface is nice, it will reduce clicfest and people will more understand how it works. But I thing that the working mechanics is something the most important.
I thought you want to make eve more user friendly and less complicated for players. Stacking industry structures on POSes is step back.
Suggestion:
OK - you want to give players variability in manufacture costs. This step will force players to start manufacturing on POSes. Instead of stacking structures, give the players possibility to change CPU and PG requirements for the structure. So onlined structure with minimal requirements has (for example) 50K PG / 100 CPU and gives 0% manufacturing cost bonus. Player decide to manufacture the most eficiently, so he change the requirements of this structure to 500K PG / 1000 CPU and receives 25% bonus in manufacturing. Here is only one structure to handle with. Much less click fest with structure management. Easy to change settings (no anchoring, moving, etc with structures) / more time to do somethnig else. Wardec corporations still will be able to figure out who is manufacturing at low costs and wardec him (they will see how many structures on the POS is online and will be able to count PG / CPU consuption). I know that POSes code is not optimized and you are working on rebuilding it, but this could not be so big change to base program code......... |
