I'm still not a fan of the idea of datacores just being spawned in random containers or some such-not. As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong), datacores all have corresponding science skills. Instead of simply 'spawning' them from a specific structure, a player could use their science skills to create the datacores.
Set it up so that a single player can have up to five lines, and switch the Research Project Management skill from allowing +1 research agent to +1 datacore lines, and let players create the datacores themselves using the structure and their science skills, with higher science skills yielding more datacores. It could roughly follow the current agent levels (science skill at level 1 would be akin to having a level 1 agent) for output (though, it would probably need a bit of a boost, depending on how much fuel the structure cost and how much it cost to build).

How do these changes effect the skills for building small medium and so on. Are they still going to count or are they going to get boiled down into 1 skill?
As it looks as if theres only 1 arrary for building instead of the Many Many(RIP Terry) there are now.
Also will this mean I can build Caps in highsec outside of NPC stations? As building my own Charon pretty costly in the npc station. |

Feedback:
"one way of doing so would be to have Datacore caches spawn near the Research Laboratory that refill at various intervals. Those caches could be set to be looted by anyone, but with a specific tax set up by the structure owners."
I can see this being gamed by setting the tax really high (like 100m per datacore) then refunding that tax to members, while denying 'theft' to any roaming scallywags.
Questions: What will happen to reactions?
With datacores being player-made, are there plans to either totally overhaul the loot tables of data sites, or just remove data sites all together (and refund SP)? Because the data site loot tables are total garbage. I don't even equip a data analyzer because they just aren't worth the time. This is K-space pirate data sites and W-space sleeper data sites.

I don't like the datacore spawning as it's suggested, that's like the loot spew in exploration which was bad and you removed it.
I really like the idea of datacore mining, but I'm afraid that that would get out of hand pretty quickly, we'd need objects for every kind of datacore and there are a lot of different kinds of data cores. Still, this would be my prefered method.
I would appreciate it if it was something people had to go out in space for and do something, not just scoop it up like the current proposal is. Think more like a mission or a site than like PI product pick up.
If you want to tie the "mining" to the research labs, you could take the Kerbal Space Program approach and just collect "science" from sciency objects in space and refine that in the labs, datacore output depending on how you set up the lab.
I'm not really sure how the new manufacturing changes are meant?
One assembly line of a type for each module fitted to the structure? Like ammunition or ships or modules etc.
Will this mean there will no longer be a "one size fits all" line?
Because that could be a pain, I'm making diverse stuff, depending on the day and what sold out and it would inconvenience everyone greatly if I or my corp had to switch out modules all the time.
The same really applies to the research labs as well. Will we end up with the corresponding number of labs or assembly arrays, fully fitted with one type of assembly line/research type, just because that's the only way to manage the mess?
Maybe I'm reading too much into this
Finally, how is ownership determined? Can they be shot and killed or taken over with the Entosis link?
The UI is still bad.

I like the structure idea in general a whole lot and should shake up things nicely, while making use of your space a fun affair.
There are however some points that have some concern and that is mainly that it's not known if Medium sized Assembly and Research structures have a reinforcement timer, or can be killed in one go. If it's the latter they will be useless.
I also think that the datacore spawning in cans is kinda uninspired. It would be much better game wise to have Data Sites spawn items of different grades that you can have processed in a research structure to receive Datacores. The processing of datacores takes time and will use a new production line for your character, using the skill that is now in use by Research Agents. Creating the need for people to run Data sites and reward them appropriately (Low and Nullsec drops are more valuable by giving more datacores per Data site item dropped).
Another more interactive option is to have the research structure produce datacores at semi random and place them in a cargo bay that can be hacked using a data analyzer and the mini game. Upon completion you get a percentage of the available datacores depending on the speed of the hack as defensive measures against the hack will secure datacores once the hack starts. Rigs can be used to increase the difficulty of the hacking minigame or the speed at which datacores are secured once a breach is detected.
The owners of the structure can take the datacores from the cargo bay and just move them in another hangar or cargohold.
You should be able to anchor structures close together for more safety and usability at least the ones that don't have any service slots. If you want to run a Small or Medium Assembly Array to build Tech 2 Drones, you should be able to just Drag and Drop the blueprint copies you made in your Research Arrays to the assembly array and start building.

With regards to daracores rather than mining I would prefer to see them come from research on data slates found through exploration. The datacores delivered would depend on the science skill levels utilized by the capsuleer. Research time would be affected by the level of research upgrades.
This would tie datacore generation to science skills, introduce trade in the dataslates and boost dxploration as something useful would come from the data sites. |

Manufacturing in a POS is currently an absolute crap shoot. You have to have so many different arrays and to follow market shifts you need a range of products so it gets crazy. Compare to manufacturing in an outpost or station. You can do everything. There isn't any differentiation on 'what' you can build or how many lines to a particular product.
Assembly arrays should follow that principle. Not the current POS principle. If you want to encourage people to use them micromanagement simply to be able to build something is bad. So an assembly array should let you build anything right away. Services should enhance that in particular non essential ways.
So ME bonuses are bad. As they become a 'we have to use that ME bonus to compete on the market' issue.
Services should be things surrounding industry but not directly boosting it. Contract delivery services that allow people with contracts from a corp member to dock to deliver a contract, but not otherwise. Adding some research or admin ability to your array so you can use just one structure, time efficiency so you can do more bulk in the same time so better per hour profit (but not per item) etc.
Research should be the same thing, the base structure should allow everything, and a service should not give a per unit cost benefit. |

Choices such as what types of assembly to provide.
Limitations such as how many lines a single person can create at a platform (not limiting global jobs, just per person).
TAXES.

Although you're doing something to remove the invulnerable passive generation of datacores, making them spawn and be scoopable isn't a way to "Farm" or "Harvest" datacores. It doesn't even feel like gameplay.
I've been thinking for a long while that datacores should be "mined". The way to do this would be to fly to a spatial anomaly or some kind of object in space and activate a type of (Hi Slot) analyser module on it. You would then harvest datacores (like mining gas or ore) by actually doing an activity in space. An activity that can be interdicted and disrupted.
The funny thing is that some of these spatial anomalies already exist in game. Some systems have strange spatial anomalies that cause damage when you get too close. We also have other things that could be used for datacore mining.
For example:
Every system in EvE has a star. These stars are different colours. So, why shouldn't each colour of star allow for different Analysis/Research to be carried out to gather datacores (Plasma Physics and nuclear physics are examples from a star).
Wormholes could produce graviton physics datacores when mined. (imagine people gathering around a WH to mine it!)
There are so many possibilities all of which can be super sci-fi.
There could also be a new range of ships with the specific role of gathering datacores.
This would be in and of itself an entire feature gameplay
For one these are DATACORES as in like hard drives filled with data....they are not mined.....they are written to by the researchers of specific categories of data.....sheesh. So allowing research characters to build them makes sense. |

But we need to get people into space doing things.
I only use the term "Mining" as it is what most closely resembles the same activity.
Imagine the sun produced 4 different kinds of solar anomalies that had to be scanned down with probes.
A Solar Flare: Solar flares release huge ammounts of high energy particles which are tremendously hot. Activating a research module on this type of anomaly would produce High Energy Physics Datacores (you're researching high energy physics by doing an action like mining on a solar flare) Proximity to this anomalie would do AoE kinetic damage
A Solar Prominance: Solar prominance is held together with massive magnetic fields. Activating a research module on this type of anomaly would produce Electromagnetic Physics Datacores. These would have EM AoE damage
A Sun Spot: Sun spots would allow you to gather Nuclear Physics datacores. They would have a thermal AoE damage
An Imminant CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) These would allow the gathering of Plasma Physics datacores. Thw area would produce explosive AoE damage
Now, other types of research sites: Highly Unstable Wormhole (non traversable) - Kinetic and EM AoE damage
Event Horizon Anomaly (centre of wormhole): Research of this would produce Quantum Physics Datacores
Gravitation Anomaly (in the wormholes "rings"): Study of this would produce Graviton Physics datacores
The other datacores would have other sites. All found through probes.
The ship line that would do this would be the SoCT ship line. They have flat resistance profiles allowing them to spec tank easily. They are the "Teaching" faction so it fits that they would do research.
What I'm suggesting is that it shouldn't be a passive production but an actual activity in space, in a ship, at extremely visually cool sites with some danger to them. Be that area of effect damage for some sites and NPC rats at others. They can also be scaled easily for system sec status. Lower sec status gives anomalies that produce more datacores per cycle of the research module. |

They can fix data sites loot tables for i don't know, a year now? Now, they want to implement passive activity to increase some part of industry because it will be easier and maybe more ppl will do it. All of that because of "Sandbox" keyword. Which lead us to "PvP" keyword. Which in combat version is performed by maybe 20% of all players.

The idea of mining datacores actively would be fairly easy to implement (ignoring art). The concept is simply a mining type module that gathers datacores at a certain rate per cycle. That rate could easily be calculated by looking at the current rate at which you generate datacores via a research agent and transpose it into an active system (you would obviously get more datacores per hour in an active system than a passive system due to a player not being able to play for 24 hours a day 7 days a week, although some do try).
Research agents could still exist as mission agents that have special rewards geared more to research and invention. They would offer missions to gather a (worthless) datacore from a dangerous place in return for cash/datacores/rewards.
Data sites need to be reworked and are a problem at the moment. But maybe, just maybe, when they let us build meta modules (cause, you know, they want EVERYTHING in EvE built by players) data sites would drop meta module BPC's. Couple that with a change in how loot drops from complete modules to "parts" (which all already exist in game) and these parts would be used with a T1 module and a BPC (gained from a data site) to build a meta level module. That would be the simple way to fix data sites and boost industry and let us build meta modules.
However, I imagine they want to complete tiercide for modules first. |

The datacore spawning is going to be already happening in space, and it is active thing cause they will most likely spawn only if there is activity (research, invention, copying so on) which requires attention and isk and more. And makes much more sense for datacores to come from there than anywhere else.

Yes, (some) people will say mining isn't fun but then again many many people do it because they enjoy that pace of gameplay. |

After they are researched they will be deployed into space...because of reason. If i do my research i don't throw it out the window for wrestling between scientists. This remind me the ESS feature or loot explosions at exploration cans, because of pvp...

I would rather have it the exact opposite: NO structure is allowed to be the general "build all" that outposts are today. No matter what people want to build, they need to focus their assembly structures on that task. Or allow everything to be build in the XL version, but with a heavy decrease in TE/ME when no dedicated service is present.

I've done a quick re-read and I see that. Still, it's a bit weird that you would produce datacores and have random people fly up and take them at a "tax rate". It's still un-interesting game play. It's still passive. And it's still invulnarable to interference other than destroying the structure.
I'd far prefer pilots had to get into a ship, fly into space and do an activity in space to gather a resource instead of generate it passively. |

This can be applied to all structures but make the modules for them instead of anchor you can do a use the current bpo for structures for slots and the whole structure.
When you change make the bpo's change from the tower system to the new system so people already have bpo for all the accessories. You might be able to do something with the Tower bpo's to make them move towards the base structures.
