To much like common sense, so CCP will stay well clear of it.
Keep in mind, these are the same people who think firing a laser at a building makes it yours, buy stocks in laser pointers people, you'll make a mint.

Some of the points are good; some I think are too far like habitation modules. I would also like to get a few more planets although I think 36 per toon is too much, perhaps a maximum of 9 or 10.

Since they removed NPC pocos in high sec and couple with the abysmal yields in high sec I think that area needs looking at, I donGÇÖt think that in reality having POCO in high sec has produced much in the way of conflict (CCP may have figures to disprove this) but I think that both of those things has really done is kill off high sec PI.

I would like to see more skills for PG and CPU though I think that would be handy as well as templates, and clever routing of goods, also and something that has bugged me for ages is letGÇÖs say I set up a basic factory for toxic metals, I would like all subsequent factories to be toxic metals until I change it to something else.

As per captain Chode: "You mean to tell me that with all the crap that's broken on this ship you start with the ******* ice machine?". PI is a mess but looking at all the other issues EVE has, including the citadels and the still-to-be-released industrial platforms I would certainly not say that "the time has come" for a PI revamp.

That said the single biggest improvement that could be made for player PI participation right now is a single button "restart extraction on all colonies on the same cycle as previous", at the risk of plummeting prices on P1 and P2 materials for myself.

In my experience - sitting in Sov nullsec with very decent tax rates - about half the players I know have stopped milking their PI planets due to the sheer tedium of the PI interface.

How about they just get rid of all the different kinds of structures and have it all self contained.

- The command center becomes the only building and can move around the planet.

- There is a radius around it where it pulls resources from.

- You still are limited by CPU and Grid

- You can "Fit" you command center how you want.
- A mod for launch pad
- A mod for extractor (could have more than one obviously and each one can pull different resources if desired)
- A "factory" mod to make what you want.
- A "storage" mod to hold stuff.

Note: When I say "mod" I am not meaning a physical mod that you have the transport. Have them still appear out of no where like the current buildings. They could still cost isk.

Keep it fairly simple and use the ship/citadel fitting window as a template to get started.

Part of the feedback we get from the CSM (and many of you), is that we donGÇÖt put enough development time into features after they are released. In some cases, you are right, weGÇÖre stuck between the evolution of EVE and the rebuilding of feature infrastructure to help it grow. Sadly we canGÇÖt clone ourselves (YET).

So weGÇÖre going to try and give this feature the attention we feel it deserves, dedicating a full development team to continue working on planetary interaction after its release. As Team Pi has primarily been working on planetary infrastructure, they will take on the challenge of improving the feature in the next release as well. So when Team BFF waves goodbye to planetary interaction and moves on, Team Pi will continue to make improvements.

Be careful here though...

I like the difficulty of the interaction and the endless clicking for one reason above all, it makes the number of PI toons at a reasonable level. If PI was made too easy more people would jump in and depress the price of materials to such an extent that time/value would not be worth it any longer. We that have solved the PI user interface and come to terms with a method for ourselves should closely guard our secret passive income!

Something I would like to see implemented is a change to having a multi-hour cool-down for expedited transfers from a launchpad to a silo. I literally have 2-4 hour cool-downs when moving my PI around from orbit to my production farms PER SILO. I have 5 silos on one setup. There is a way around the cool-down currently but at the cost of almost 1m ISK at a time to destroy a launchpad and build a new one. At my current rate of building, that is going to cost me over 150m ISK a month just to avoid the cool-down of moving PI into different silos.

What I propose would be the ability to route materials from a launchpad into different silos, working similar to the resource extractors. Say every 15-30 minutes a set amount of m3 is moved from the LP to designated silos, allowing the player to just drop from the POCO to the planet, and let the worker bees move all the materials around without having to come back every 4 hours just to move stuff into ONE silo at a time. Option 2 would be to just do away with the expedited transfer cool-down entirely. It really doesn't seem to serve much purpose that I can understand and is frustrating and a time/money sink that doesn't really need to be there.

Upgrade the links. The Cooldown time on expedited transfers is proportional to how overloaded the link used to do the transfer was when you did it.

That just killed some of my transfer times from 1.5 hours to 36 minutes, I don't think I've ever been aware you could even upgrade links before. GÖÑ
