Quote:This index is then used in conjunction with job value to create a base cost....
For copying and ME/TE research, this is fairly straightforward: it's 2% of the inputs for a job using that blueprint.
Each level of ME research reduces the materials required (the cost) to build the end product
So the base cost per level for ME research can (in the right circumstances) reduce with each level ?
Or; Are base costs for research based on a 0 ME / 0 TE BPO?

If there is only a small amount (less than 100) of people researching a specialized / low demand item, the costs will be higher per item than they would be if 1000's of people are building the same item?
EG;
If 2 players are researching the same (limited demand) item in the same location, the costs will be extremely high as they could make up 100% of the index for that item.

How will the price index work?
Where will "job value" be drawn from to create, job value base cost?
Anything related to market price can't be used as it can (and would be) be easily manipulated. So what will define "job value".

Quote:I.e., where:
system_activity_job_hours is the total duration of all jobs of that activity type in that system over the last 28 days, and:
global_activity_job_hours is the total duration of all jobs of that activity type in the universe over the last 28 day, and:
system_activity_index is the index weGÇÖre creating, the formula is:
Isn't this a nerf to Nulsec Manufacturing?
Those manufacturing in Nulsec for an alliance will incur higher charges because they are building in volume and have additional hauling charges (50% more fuel for JF) for materials they (due to location) are unable to produce.
Building 10 Ishtars in highsec is going to be cheaper than building them in nul.
In highsec you can find all materials you will need in 1 place.
To build them in nul, you need to import materials you're unable to produce, yet your base price is set in part by the global index which includes the highsec manufacturers.
My opinions are mine.
