Well thanks for the replies Oveur, let me give you some calculations since I know you guys love those.
When I first set foot in the new regions I made a spreadsheet to calculate profit from alloys. It takes about 23 drone BS to fill a giant secure can with alloys. 3 giant secure cans amount to:
1361 Glossy
3046 Lustering
3346 Motley
679 Opulent
2072 Plush
That's 138 Drone BS worth of alloys and amounted to about 250 mil profit before the mineral price crash. Which made each Drone BS worth, on average, just under 2 mil isk.
Using current market prices for minerals that same stack of alloys amounts to 144 mil isk. Which makes a Drone BS worth, on average, about 1 mil isk. Is this a reasonable figure considering those alloys need to be refined, transported to empire then sold before you see a single isk of profit?
Keep in mind this requires at least 2 characters, one ratting and one hauling. A single triple BS spawn will fill a Raven's cargohold.
So I'm left with just one honest question regarding the belt rats, is this the ratio of work to reward you intended?
QFT
We have to work harder for less profit than any other 0.0 region. That may have been intentional, but maybe you could have made that clear before we spent all those hours on setting up our new home.
Less profit = less ships = less defense = lesser time for the other alliances to come and take over our space. If they actually want our space, which if they don't should say enough

Can we please have an update on this situation Devs? Did there go something wrong with the update, did you fix it but do we have to wait untill the next respawn or did you fix it but we thought the results would be different?

And why the f*ck do I get 2/3rd of alloys out of a BS wreck compared to before the patch?
Instead of improvements we got nerfed?
