Thats most of the points I was making in the previous thread. Putting up a POS as a small corp just ain't worth the hassle, and it never will be.
On the other hand, letting an Orca compress might not be such a bad idea.
It wouldn't be immediately available to everyone joining the game, and the skill training means a lot of new players wouldn't even bother training for it anyway. But the compressed ore available would still increase.
It would increase simply because it would be hassle free for established miners, unlike now. |

It's nothing to do with not being able to afford the Pos and array, it's more about recouping the investment in skill time and 100m+ isk investment.
Atm I refine both to sell the excess and use some myself to manufacture crystals, drones and other modules.
Suppose I compressed everything I mined and made (maybe) an extra 1m isk per Mack load, that's over 100 full loads minimum to get back my investment. To compress everything I mine would also bring my industry to a halt as well resulting in lost income that I would also have to take into account.
No I don't mine 24/7. I work for a living and do other stuff in game as well, hell, trying to get back my investment would be as bad as mining to plex...I don't do that either. |

Asking for changes that directly benefit you is infact crying. all changes that make EVE Online a better game benefit us because as the Overmen we will maintain our position of dominance regardless of the changes, but the better the game is the more we enjoy playing it in addition to the enjoyment we always get of being gods among cattle
Aaand you just made my mind up..I was about to buy a pos and array.
But there is no way i'm going to compress and sell to you lot now.
I'll take the minute hit in lost revenue (and a lot less hassle) cheers.
Isn't there a song about true colours? If not there should be.
