CCP Soundwave C C P C C P Alliance 301	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:32:00 - [1] - Quote Starbase structures begin consuming fuel blocks exclusively on January 24th. Hopefully this timeline will allow you to build up a sizable stock of blocks, without ruining your Christmas. IGÇÖm sure your family will appreciate you not bringing your laptop to the Christmas dinner to start production jobs. Please keep in mind that on the day of the switch, POSs will ONLY consume fuel blocks and all the old items will no longer keep the starbase going. On a slightly related note, here is a quick piece of wildlife advice that could save you or a loved one: If bitten by a snake, avoid attempting to suck out the poison from the wound, like seen in movies. YouGÇÖll remove insignificant quantities of poison, while transferring bacteria to the wound and subjecting yourself to the risk of getting poisoned. Instead, call for help and arrange transport to the nearest hospital emergency room. Like with bears, the safest bet is staying away from poisonous snakes in the first place. We might be able to sneak a few more changes in, but for now, this is the timeframe for fuel blocks. Enjoy.

I should be drinking my own urine while the snake bites me, right?! ~ CCP Prism X EVE Database Developer "Prism X is my first world problem." ~ CCP FLX If anything in this post was informative or could be considered as 'good news' to you - chances are you've misread it.

Good news. Is there a time we can use fuel blocks before this or is the switch over going to be that abrupt? People say things like: "Oh, you make so much money. What do you need any more for?" Well, actually, *****, I never asked for your opinion. I'll let you know when I have enough money. -Gene Simmons
Salpun Paramount Commerce 99	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:41:00 - [5] - Quote As a wh dweller who got a bpo into the wh and started makeing blocks in an anticipated switch over in 2 weeks from blue print release your pushing it back for a month just put a big kink in my plans. Will now have to pull in more fuel to carry us over to the new date. Would have been nice to have this news even 24 hours ago Could time left be changed to must be refilled on in anticipation of the change
Abdiel Kavash Paladin Order Fidelas Constans 209	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:42:00 - [6] - Quote Thank you for letting us know so far in advance. We were fearing a "Oh, btw, the block switchover? In three days." scenario. Now I can go to sleep safely knowing that I won't have to spend the next three days hauling cubes 23/7 to get to every tower.

Jarnis McPieksu Aliastra Gallente Federation 82	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:51:00 - [10] - Quote Thank you for finally announcing a date and a date that is now known well in advance. Should make the transition smooth. Assuming of course the actual switchover goes without any hilarious bugs... well, I'll have my fuel blocks and bags of popcorn ready...

Everyone else should not.

Yeah, having it late January means everyone is also back at the office, ready to remedy if needed. The programmers responsible for the change have promised to not make any bugs, so we should be in the clear!

CynoNet Two GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 279	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:02:00 - [15] - Quote Thanks for letting us know this on December 9th, two weeks after everyone asked you to postpone this change. We've all really enjoyed rushing around half-filling towers with fuel blocks all week only to now have to replace with normal fuel again for another month. **** you very much

Two step Aperture Harmonics K162 468	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:07:00 - [18] - Quote Yeah, I am really not a fan of this, after you guys said 2 weeks after the patch the switch would happen. It is especially bad for folks in w-space, most of whom have been converting their fuel to blocks for the last week. CSM 6 Alternate Delegate @two_step_eve on Twitter My Blog What does CSM 6 do?
spookydonut GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 56	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:08:00 - [19] - Quote I bet you still haven't updated the starbase API either.
Kismeteer GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 32	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:12:00 - [20] - Quote Nothing like having 4 days left on a deadline, only to be told that you have another month and a half. And now you have to do twice as much work now to maintain your fuel block levels, or back them all out. **** CCP. BTW, considered reading anything beyond general discussion? You do have a science and industry subforum that would have been ideal for this.

If it's not working a reasonable time before the change-over you're just going to make the logistics people of eve hate you even more, if hating you more was even possible.
Ingvar Angst Nasty Pope Holding Corp Talocan United 700	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:29:00 - [23] - Quote Any chance you could stick a big freakin' throw switch on the side of the pos that we can simply toggle between fuel chunks or PI chunks when ready? It would be kind fo cool to have this big audible "CLICK" as we switch the POS over to fuel chunks, then see the switch break off and float away into the depths of space... It would give us control of the switch in a more pleasant way, with the 24th of Jan being a deadline, switch or die. Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

Jarnis McPieksu Aliastra Gallente Federation 83	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:34:00 - [26] - Quote While I would have preferred a switch before the holidays, if stuff isn't ready on CCP side (or they are not comfortable for hitting the big red butan without weeks of advance warning), this is okay. Would've been nice if this date would have been given already when fuelblock BPOs were seeded, but I guess we'll live.

oogs Ex Coelis The Bantam Menace 1	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:40:00 - [30] - Quote Well, this sucks. You're basically screwing over anyone that was proactive and aimed for the original estimate (a couple weeks after the BPOs became available). Sure you can't make it run in a hybrid mode?
