I don't really get how the massive differences in risk between highsec/nullsec are compensated for by a 1% reprocessing efficiency bonus. I especially don't get how lowsec is considered the same as nullsec for this. |

For reprocessing rigs, do those percentages mean:
1) Only drilling rigs can fit those rigs? 2) Citadels can fit those rigs but only drilling rigs will get the percentages listed once you include their bonus? 3) Citadels can fit those rigs and get that bonus, but drilling rigs will get a better bonus? |

To elaborate on the issue, currently nullsec gets up to 60% refines while highsec gets up to 54%. This was a critical change in revitalizing industry in nullsec. It was also absolutely critical to allow nullsec to actually use the ability to collect a refine tax: by setting the refine tax so that it's less than the nullsec bonus, there's no incentive to dodge taxes by compressing and exporting to empire like there used to be. Until this change refine taxes were basically broken, and will go right back to being broken - which is a problem as this is one of the "bottom-up" income streams that CCP has been trying to move alliances to instead of point sources like moons.
It both seriously hurts nullsec industry (and, the ship traffic involved in nullsec industry that builds content for people attacking nullsec), and seriously hurts the ability of alliances to recoup their citidel/drilling rig investments thorough taxes.
Seperately, allowing lowsec to get 60% refines, while Thukker Assembly Arrays (which were put into the game to compensate lowsec for not getting 60% refines for capbuilding) still exist is insanely unbalanced. Those would need to get removed or we're back to where it only makes sense to build capitals in lowsec. |

What does the PI and Customs Office part of an XL office/market rig do? |

If the medium citadel is intended to replace a POS, does it share one attribute with a POS: The ability to unanchor, repackage, and remove it from space in just a few hours?
How long does it take to scoop a citadel? Is it different for different sizes?
What happens to the rigs?
What happens to the stored stuff?
I'm thinking about a mobile market that follows incursions around, among other things. you, uh, know that is out the window because a medium can't fit a market right |

Stront use in citidels has to be higher than current use because currently it is a garbage byproduct ice, rather than the King Of Ices like it was supposed to be. |

Before: Fully mining out a high sec belt provides fuel for a single large tower for 436 hours. After: Fully mining out a high sec belt would provide enough stront to fuel a single large tower for <10 hours. Before: Fully mining out a deep null belt provides enough fuel to run a single large tower for 3670 hours. After: Fully mining out a deep null sec belt would provide enough stront to fuel a single large tower for 699 hours. Not exactly the same thing as liquid O, which is basically the bottleneck that gives the "before" values. The overwhelming majority of deep null belts are not cycled. There is plenty of room here. |
