Aerilyn Neiliff Voyager Bridge Crew The Ancestors 1	Posted - 2016.01.08 00:10:12 - [1] - Quote I'd like every item in game in it's info box to have some indication of how it is gathered/harvested etc. Three quick examples... 50MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive --> Saw this on a doctrine fit. I clicked the info box and no blueprint or industry tab appeared. I would have liked if it said "This item cannot be made. It is looted from combat sites." Hydrogen Batteries--> Saw this as an ingredient in a blueprint. Same story. Should have said "Cannot be made. Sold from NPC vendor." Plasmonic Metamaterials--> Took me forever to figure out this was associated with moon goo. Maybe that makes me a noob. But it looked a helluva lot like some PI stuff. Can we just add sourcing to these to clear up some confusion? Thanks.

ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors Snuffed Out 9397	Posted - 2016.01.08 02:33:27 - [3] - Quote You will find that most of the game (in terms of items, tactics, fits, mechanics, etc) is like this. "Here is some stuff. Figure out what to do with it." Generally, when you start doing something, you'll figure it out quickly. Otherwise, you will remain clueless. How did you Veterans start?

"Well this has been difficult for years and still is in different parts, so better not improve this" I agree with OP - source locations in the item information, if the item is not derived from a blueprint, are a great idea.

It's called research. If you're too lazy to do the research, why should you benefit from it? EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid. I couldn't have said it better. Hello, Mr Carebear. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

The problem is that it wouldn't be an improvement. I mind you, I'm not going to cry a river if the source locations were added in, but I'm kinda with Iain on this. EvE has a steep learning curve. Part of that curve is knowing how to obtain the information. I like that part of EvE. It nudges people to practice the meta skills needed to prosper in here. In this case, a player will research the matter for themselves in game by following the trails and learning how the Market works in the process; learn where to find information out-of-game already collected earlier by players; or will develop the necessary social skills by asking in game. --Gadget Work smarter, not harder. --Scrooge McDuck, an eminent old-Earth economist
Arya Ikahrus 21	Posted - 2016.01.08 13:22:02 - [7] - Quote In a lot of cases the research isn't exactly hard or complicated to do though, it's just mildly inconvenient.

Tiddle Jr Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 674	Posted - 2016.01.09 02:15:16 - [10] - Quote hmm i think it's pretty much easy to remember, here one good example - Cap Recharger I & Cap Recharger II. Both are available to be manufactured from blueprints with only difference with Tech II since it should be invented in the first line. All the rest "named" mods are looted from NPC either way. This works for majority of mods in Eve.
Arya Regnar Darwins Right Hand 859	Posted - 2016.01.10 04:32:03 - [11] - Quote I for one don't like being spoonfed information. I like the game to f me up hard so I'm left wondering how it happened. EvE-Mail me if you need anything.
Amarisen Gream Divine Demise Apocalypse Now. 182	Posted - 2016.01.10 13:34:32 - [12] - Quote There have been some really good points in this thread. A lot of the "basic" stuff could be understood via a little training. Tech 1 Items are made from BPs. Tech 2 are invented. A lot of other items can be figured out via the "industrial tab" in the show info. But there are some items, which don't provide any of that... PI and Moongoo both have their tab for "reactions/production info". it just takes a little time digging through it all. I would support cleaner Show Info windows, which provide more information that can be considered basic. or better educational material in game. "The Lord loosed upon them his fierce anger All of his fury and rage. He dispatched against them a band of Avenging Angels" - The Scriptures, Book II, Apocalypse 10:1 DIDE- is open to new members

CCP Fozzie C C P C C P Alliance 13554	Posted - 2016.01.11 13:02:43 - [13] - Quote This is an excellent idea, and it's something that we really wanted to get into the industry revamp back in Crius but ran out of time. I can't say for sure when or if we might be able to do it (there would be a fair amount of upkeep required as we change things, including localization work) but it would definitely make industry a lot more discoverable.

Irregessa Obfuscation and Reflections 132	Posted - 2016.01.11 14:41:57 - [14] - Quote While a great idea, one problem is that the source of materials can change over time. Just in December all COSMOS items can now be found in Data exploration sites. That would require adding that fact to a whole lot of item 'show info' windows. Perhaps they could code it well enough to accomplish that change with a well-crafted SQL statement, but something tells me not.

Not empty poasting What about actual details like this drops from rats in the stain region Or this was taken from a rat that only spawns in one system that has this ded site and it is hilarious that you are paying this much for it.

If the research involved requires a 3rd party site, then this is a good improvement. And I'm pretty sure it does involve 3rd party sites. EVE should be playable to a high level without needing hordes of 3rd party tools, the number of 3rd party tools indicates how much isn't covered in game that needs to be.
Xe'Cara'eos A Big Enough Lever 399	Posted - 2016.01.13 11:24:04 - [18] - Quote CCP Fozzie wrote: This is an excellent idea, and it's something that we really wanted to get into the industry revamp back in Crius but ran out of time.

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
