Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.05 19:33:00 - [31] what actual arguement did you make ? you took my post and added little trivial comments on it. then i elaborated and my reasons with hope to make it more clear. I think they should be seeded and gave my reasons why. wether of not the do doesnt worry me whatsoever i just feel that the avaiability of them should be increased. so far the only real concrete thing from CCP is that the skill will be renamed and used in invention. and for the 3rd time incase you missed it. Changing the skill name will have no affect on the character or skill and the pre req's will have to remain the same. its usage IS changing. those who wish to pay 450mil (current price) feel free to spend your isk. those who wish to wait and see how CCP implement invention save your isk but feel free to pre train for the skill as thats clear as a bell.

I dont know why they would do what they do. But the information given on that subject is that they will not change the ones allready trained. What about the cosmos blueprints allready given out that require angel encryption methods or the other ones, would their requirements allso be renamed? and if so why write "This does not affect those that already have the skill" ??? "This does not affect those that already have the skill" This could just mean that it will not effect those people because those who allready have the skill will have it changed or whatever to the skill which are required to do whatever those skill are used for right now.. haha so much speculations. CCP should reallty clear this stuff up. It would be funny though if we got another "tractor beam BPO" affair :D:D:D
Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.05 19:40:00 - [33] Originally by: Punktious What about the cosmos blueprints allready given out that require angel encryption methods or the other ones, would their requirements also be renamed? certainly expect just a name change. any other changes to those bpc's you'll have to ask nyphur cause i dont have a clue

CCP should reallty clear this stuff up. It would be funny though if we got another "tractor beam BPO" affair :D:D:D exactly the skill could just require Science 1 who knows but CCP. I know i certainly dont have a clue about it. I remember once having a character with "repair drone operation" and he didnt even have drones V. i got it at a character creation. i saw a drone once called hellhound drone and it was in escrow ? generally second guessing CCP is futile. and stuff is listed and doesnt even exist. Maybe CCP have looked at invention and decided to shelf it (reverse engineering)
Barbicane The Gun Club	Posted - 2006.10.05 20:10:00 - [35] Originally by: Mikal Drey ... remember skills normally have a pre requisit. Imagine having a skill already trained but the pre reqisite not ? this would mean for the skill not to currently affect anyone it will need to be a base skill (Rnk 1) I don't think this sort of thing will be a problem with the encryption skills since it's just a simple name change, but there is an interesting precedent here: Remember when the missile skills were changed so standard missiles became a prereq for heavy missiles, and heavy a prereq for cruise missiles? It used to be that you could train all missile types completely independently of each other, (and a siege launcher could launch all types of missiles but that's another story). Anyway, after this change you had to train all the new prerequisites before you could use your old skills again.
Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.05 20:33:00 - [36] that was before my time but an interesting point. also i thought that they could just as easily remove any pre skills and make it a base skill. this would fall under what the dev blog stated about no impact to current skill holders. im very interested in invention and am following it intently. shame the dev blogs dont always make things crystal clear and often turn out totaly different in final release. i think this will be my last reply for the evening as im 1 jump (freighter afk \o/) from bedtime. I'll be interested also to hear what some of the skill forum peeps say as im rarely in this part. and this got moved. nite o/
Barbicane The Gun Club	Posted - 2006.10.05 20:35:00 - [37] The encryption skills are found by hacking containers in the various COSMOS constellations. From my experience they drop at an average rate of 1-2 per hour but it's been half a year since I had a go at it and the drop rate might have changed. The trouble with these areas is that they are defended by hoards quickly respawning rats, making it very hard for a solo player to both fend off attackers and get some hacking done, and that's what keeps the prices high. I know there are some tricks to tank at least some of these areas because I've seen Nyphur do it. I also know that my 1B "indestructible" Cerberus setup was shredded in less than a minute when I tried to do it myself. The skills are expensive today, and there is a reason for that. If they were seeded on the market with no prior warning, it would upset a lot of players who put in a great effort to obtain them and for that reason I don't think this will happen.
Qual Gallente EMO Erotic Holoreel Studios	Posted - 2006.10.05 21:57:00 - [38] Originally by: Punktious How is it clear? They will be renamed (Associated) with the empire names. But not the ones that allready have the skill, if they mean the ones that are trained or just are in peoples belongings, I do not know. Ok, I guess I have to go over this once again for the people in to back: I have Angel Encrytion Methods lvl 5 now. This skill i have be course it was usefull for COSMOS and be course CCP strongly hinted in an early that these skills would be usefull for building rigs. Ok, whn Kali is deplayed I will log on and no longer have the skill Angel Encrytion Methods lvl 5. (I does not exist in the game at all) I will instead have Minmatar Encrytion Methods lvl 5. Luckily for me each COSMOS bpc that now needs Angel Encrytion will now need Minmatar Encryption. So in this regard im not affected. All Angel Encryption Skill books in hangar will now be Minmatar Encrytion Skill books. (This is of course due to the fact thet the skill is simply renamed, and no NEW skill added.) The new Minmatar ENcrytion skill can ALSO be used for invention, so my investment in the skill to be prepaired for Invention is also not affected. Thus I, the player allready having this skill, IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS. Everybody in the room clear on this now? Lets move on. (So while you in theory could read teh post in many ways, those of us that has been around for years and read CCP lingo knows how this should be read. Trust me.)

Nyphur Pillowsoft Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.05 22:59:00 - [39] Originally by: Barbicane I know there are some tricks to tank at least some of these areas because I've seen Nyphur do it. I also know that my 1B "indestructible" Cerberus setup was shredded in less than a minute when I tried to do it myself. Tank tank tank :D. You're right, prices are based on difficulty of obtaining them. It's simply supply and demand and right now demand is much greater than supply, so the price has risen. I'm doing my best to sell at reasonable prices but the orders are coming in faster than I can fill them and I'm losing several nights sleep to catch up (not that I don't mind the isk ^^). Even I can't solo the minmatar hacking place since they deal damage in roughly equal proportiosn to each damage type. I have to enlish the help of friends, which splits profit at least two ways. And about the drop rate, it's highly variable. For the past three nights I have gotten zero skillbooks hacking for a few hours each day, then today I got several within two hours. It's chance based but I could swear I get them in clusters. Like none for hours and then two come along at once. And if anyone is worried about farming, I can guarantee that the contents of the cans respawn fast enough to support at least 10 hackers. There is plenty of room for more people and in fact the hacking complexes are split into two areas with a large gap in between so it's not feasible for one person to hack both sides at once.

Which ones are you selling and for how much? I have a friend that still needs that caldari and minmatar ones...
Silver Lady Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2006.10.05 23:44:00 - [41] Edited by: Silver Lady on 05/10/2006 23:44:37 Originally by: Punktious Originally by: Rasitiln Originally by: Punktious So if yo allready have trained Angel encryption methods, you need to get a hold of Minmatar encryption methods anyway, when kali hits.. o.O that stinks wrong the angel encryption methods book magically changes into minmatar encryption methods Originally by: Dev Blog These skills are already in the game, but currently are associated with pirate factions (i.e. Angel Encryption Methods). Once Revelations hits the street these skills will be associated with the empires instead (so Angel Encryption Methods becomes Minmatar Encryption Methods). This does not affect those that already have the skill. null But how would you understand the text in bold?? Oveur confirming that angel encryptions skills will change to minmatar encryptions EVEN if you have it trained

Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.06 06:54:00 - [43] its always about isk :( theses skills surely have jumped in price and the people farming are laughing all the way to the bank. recently an 8/10 plex was "adjusted" due to constant farming and the risk vs reward balance was tipped. there was outcry. now an even easier complex is being farmed for skill books that sell for 400mil. and thats ok ??? believing that the skill wont be seeded or adjusted to become more common or trying to pursuade the community that they wont for sales purposes in just arrogance and plain stupidity. Farming the complexes and skillbooks is what totally ruined COSMOS.
Mal Hondo THeOThErs Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.06 10:18:00 - [44] Originally by: Kahlan Rahl Haha the people who farm theese skill books are so deffensive in this thread. No need to be so angry about it lol. BTW, Im not selling them, I only have guristas encryption - bought it for 200mil the day the invention blog came out. Anyways - it looks like they are going up in price, for now. I have one VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.... If I just have the guristas encryption (or caldari when kali comes), will i be able to invent ALL T2 MODULES and just CALDARI T2 SHIPS? It currently is a bit confusing atm - as far as i can see, i see no reason to purchase the rest of the tech skillbooks if all i plan to make is Cerberi (plural?) and T2 modules. Devs, plz clarify. Or someone who is not as thick as me. Mal. Hate something. Change something. Hate something, change something - make something better! Da doo be doo bi doo bi doo bi dooooooo!
Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.06 10:33:00 - [45] more than likely caldari based stuff. i think it would be logical to assume that any specific invention stuff will be keyed into each race. GUESS 1 Stabber Mins General Datacores Minmatar Datainterface Stabber BPC LAB for 2d 4hr 20mins out pops a Vagabond BPC. Guess 2 Lab in Minmatar space Race Specific Datacore + stuff "this lab only uses Minmatar Datacores" Generally CCP have been very quiet on this subject. there is alot of unanswered Questions so sisi wil be fun when Khali hits it . . . Soon(TM)

Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.06 10:50:00 - [47] he . . . only in the first post :) read the dev blog carefully TII modules will have no affect on the outcome of a BPC. "You have the option of adding a Tech I item (of the correct type) to the job (adding a Tech II item does nothing). The better the metal-level of the item, the greater the chance of success is when using it."

Sorry, I didnt make myself very clear - ill give you an example: What SKILLS would i need to invent a T2 autocannon, and what for a T2 Siege launcher bpc? I would say minmatar encryption and caldari encryption repespectively, but what about T2 425 Rails? Mal Hate something. Change something. Hate something, change something - make something better!

Pottsey Gallente Acme Shipping Inc	Posted - 2006.10.06 11:52:00 - [49] ôFarming the complexes and skillbooks is what totally ruined COSMOS.ö I donÆt agree farming is the only thing keeping the price as low as it is. Take away the farmers and the price will shoot up massively. Also in this case the farmers are not stopping other people getting the skill book in fact if you go in the sector we farmers are happy to help and share an area with anyone that turns up. I am with Nyphur here. Sure he might farm the complex but so do I. We are not stopping anyone else getting the skill book as the complex can easily sustain x10 more people. The truth of the matter is few people bother looking for the skill books and most prefer to buy it from farmers. Nearly every time I have been looking for skill books I was solo in the area. When other groups come in we never have problems shareing due to the high spawn rate. ônow an even easier complex is being farmed for skill books that sell for 400mil. and thats ok ???ö More like 200million and yes its ok as unlike other complexÆs the farming is not stopping random people coming in and getting there own skillbook.

Mikal Drey Angels and Demons	Posted - 2006.10.06 13:38:00 - [50] 400mil was a current escrow price 450mil if you look in the sell forum People farm the COSMOS complexes because others really dont want to put in the time and effort themselves. I have never had any problems with those who sit in the various spawn sites as its designed to have mutli players and theres more than enough to share. But the constant farming of other COSMOS items such as the various mission items and skill books isnt what is intended and its capitalising on others and using the complex other than intended - just as much as a certain other complex. farming, macroers etc. do help to bring the price down but these skill books are going up. i dont mind as it wont affect me and those who spend their isk its up to them. but its not as intended. the tech items NEED to be farmed due to the nature of their design. 1 item per container really isnt enough but thats CCPs choice :) re reading the Dev blog about them certainly shows that there WILL be more availability of the skills (even if not directly seeded) invention, salvaging, mini professions all look to be interesting for a change. I really hope that it doesnt have the usual negative side effects that players tend to bring.

Would it help if I add to this that a lot of the people who buy the skillbooks from me have tried to get them themselves and failed? The reason they come to me is that it's not a trivial task to obtain them and I've been practicing at COSMOS related stuff for the better part of a year. Nobody complained about it six months ago when the prices were as they are now and I made a billion off it. It's just because of inventing that demand has increased and it's because I spend all day farming for them that I am able to sell at a reasonable price. In fact, as I said above, I have orders backed up - a long list of them. I listed a Serpentis Encryption Methods skillbook, which I sell for a reasonable 200m, on escrow for 350m a few nights ago as an experiment. It sold within a few hours. Would you rather I sell them all on escrow for 350m or keep the prices at a reasonable 200m? The choices are currently limited to farming them every waking hour to keep the price reasonable or raising the prices to keep demand in check. Either way I make the same amount of isk, which would you prefer? Oh, and would you like to know where I got my prices? They were suggested to me by Silver Lady, my first post-devblog buyer. She asked if she could buy them at those prices. Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
Qual Gallente EMO Erotic Holoreel Studios	Posted - 2006.10.06 17:44:00 - [52] Edited by: Qual on 06/10/2006 17:45:27 Originally by: Mal Hondo What SKILLS would i need to invent a T2 autocannon, and what for a T2 Siege launcher bpc? I would say minmatar encryption and caldari encryption repespectively, but what about T2 425 Rails? Ok, I reread the blog. The translation of CCP lingo I came up with goes like this: You need two datacores that are each linked to the old R&D diciplines. So my guess is that you will need the same two R&D skills as used to build the T2 item you are inventing. In addition you need a race and type specific decryptor. So add the Race Encryption skill on top I would guess. Needing 3 skills to invent something sounds likely I think. 2 regular R&D skills and one race encryption skill. (Im not a 100% about the R&D skills needed to invent, but the race is given.) WHat Races will be used to invent which items? Your guess is as good as mine. CCP will try to balance it, so dont expect it all to be logical as balance > logic as far as CCP is concerned. [TBA] "The short version: Qual is right." - Papa Smurf
Nyphur Pillowsoft Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.06 17:56:00 - [53] Mikal seems to have accidentally evemailed me a reply to one of my posts rather than hitting the reply button. Here it is: Originally by: Mikal Drey 2006.10.06 17:52 hey hey forum post has drifted way to far off topic. i have no issues with you farming hte skillbooks is im fully aware how hard/easy they are to get and all work deserves reward. i also have no issues with you selling them at 450mil (as per your sell post) as a fool and his isk are easily parted. and personally good on you to privide them while you do al the work. the op was about the seeding issues. 1) ive never second guess any dev blogs :) 2) i personally think it will actually benefit the community for them to be seeded. they are going to be more available that much is clear. Isk never trouble me and i always have enpough for my needs and enought to help others. and my ONLY farming issue with cosmos is those who farm the mission items to sell in escrow whilst people strugle to find lagastar etc. and i dont believe that ive seen your name on those escrows. this is the first time ive ever really been passionate about anything in EvE so forgive my rants :) COSMOS changed my perspective of play and i like it but it is spoilt by a few people. Fly safe and sleeper cough tech would be nice if you got it. (still cant find the bloody thing) Mikal Drey Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
Pakalolo Tha Shiznit	Posted - 2006.10.06 20:08:00 - [54] Edited by: Pakalolo on 06/10/2006 20:15:44 what is the (soon to be) gallente encryption book called atm? Serpentis... thanks Nyphur
Shi'ra Kull	Posted - 2006.10.07 11:05:00 - [55] Wow posting a private mail into a public forum?! Pretty lame.
Pakalolo Tha Shiznit	Posted - 2006.10.07 17:24:00 - [56] you know, the farmers at the Tvink plex (0.5) make it way easier to loot Angel Encryption, as they get most of the rat aggro. And, they don't appear to be hacking the classified/prime caches either. My understanding of the dev blogs is that these skills will not be npc seeded.
