If you put it in at PE 0 for a job to increase PE by 1, then as per all info provided in devblogs/forums the expected behavior is you will get a TE-2% output (as the output window correctly shows you).

So yeah you might as well cancel and restart at this point. Though who knows how much it'll cost under the new pricing :-)

EDIT: to clarify behavior, the blueprint was converted to new system IN job. At PE0 that converts to TE0. When the old job completes it will then add as many "levels" of research as the legacy job had specified for PE increase to that CONVERTED blueprint. So your 1 level of PE research translates into one increase in TE level on the converted blueprint, which will take it from TE0 to TE-2%.

Incidentally this behavior could be leveraged to take an ME5 capital blueprint, put it into an ME +1 job pre-Crius, and get a perfect ME-10% blueprint ~30 days later (as opposed to the 240 days or so it will take under the new system to go from -9% to -10%).

I have to post.

Indy changes are needed. The UI is looking great (once the small bugs get fixed).

But, I have to bring up the issue of Null and WH space being taxed for indy jobs.
Null only gets two things from NPCs, the first being the local chat. Give them a module to provide a local chat to the system, maybe a fee to provide their own local to be rid of any NPC interactions in that system.
The only other "service" that you could argue is provided by NPCs are the gates.
Well look at that, we already have Jump Bridges, so those are covered (somewhat).

Now, on to W-space.
We get nothing, absolutely zero, from NPCs.
NPCs don't come to help us if we get attacked.
We don't get a local chat window (unless someone talks, which could be provided by our our ship's systems).
You don't give us stations (the same could be said for Null since they have to pay billions for their stations).

We have no protection or interaction with NPCs in null or WH space.

I understand that this information has been out for some time (Unfortunately I have a life and did not see info on it prior to the Crius update).

My main reason for posting is, why are we (Null and WH) being taxed by NPCs to manufacture/invent/research modules/ships while we get virtually no benefits from these entities?
They have given us nothing. Everything we use to do these indy actions has been provided by us!
We are supposed to have complete control over our systems. That is why we live there.

In closing,
We control the system.
Why should we send isk to some NPC entity when they give us nothing in return.

Thank you to all who read this.

With regards to my previous post about the output values being awarded to items installed in Research jobs of both types prior to the patch coming along, being seemingly disproportionate to the amount of time the job still has remaining:

Previously Installed Research Jobs Output Impact Appears Disproportionate to Awarded Values from Scripted Update

I would like to make the following practical suggestion.

How about you review the values set on the previous blueprints, and also on those that were installed prior to the patch (especially things like capital ships etc) and take the old Time for research, and multiple that by the appropriate ME and PE levels to find the Total time spend researching to date, and then compare that value to the figures that would equate to in your new system, and award those to the current blueprint values.

This would reward those owners for previous patience in this area of research, time and costs involved in the POS running in many cases, as most of us also lost out when you reduced the ME/TE values significantly. I'm not going to discuss the number of wasted year-slots, but it would at least also improve situations by comparing and equating directly to your new scales.

(ME Level * Previous ME Research Time) = Total Time => compared to existing scale, adopt suitable placement accordingly
Rinse repeat for Time Research

I understand this would have been better mentioned as a suggestion earlier, but to be honest I couldn't get on SiSi for the past week, and only had a week or so looking at the changes prior to that, and this couldn't be forecast from the players perspective as we didn't know what the adjustments you were going to make by script would be ahead of time.

I do, however, think much more time could have been taken to discuss major issues like this and the impact on Industry.

I'm sorry to say it, as I was keenly awaiting the changes, but sayings like 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' do come to mind in many areas.

....

Having spent 11 years in the industrial aspects, as many others have also I'm sure, there was is a wealth of people to draw upon, but they have to have time to contribute, and you have to get their attention - an in game eve mail asking for opinions based on active weekly industrial activity might have been a way to go. Perhaps a thought for next time, so similar types of medium can be used to bring those people to engage in the forums (if that's where you want the discussions)?

Out of curiosity how many blueprints do you have? We are aware of performance hit, but this should only affect users with tens of thousands of blueprints.
