I just did a few COSMOS Mission and got a few blueprint with a few runs ...
from the point that it is a BPC with a few runs the stuff should be usefull ( esp. as you cant do it again - from that I understood!)
currently the main problem is: - you need quite expensive Skills to Build the stuff from the BPC - the items are useless if you cant sell em on market - the modules stats are way out of line for the price of the materials you need
Example: Large Outlaw Shield Booster - needs Caldari Encryption Methods ( which goes for around 80 Mio) - need some parts which are not some commonly e.g. 4 x Guristas Graviton Hardening costs around 450k - but the worst part is you cant sell it on Market .. only on Contract and whos gonna look for a Shield booster on Contracts ? esp with the next point - I guess the best equal Shield boost would be a large C5-L which goes for around 50-60k in JITA !?
so why should i spend 2 Mio ++ in materials on a item which I would not find any buyers as they would rather buy a 50k Item ...
so my Point COSMOS BPC are way out of line with the current game the would need a good boost on some parameter and should be MARKET tradeable to have a good chance to reach Customers ...

Edited by: Alz Shado on 29/08/2007 18:45:24 COSMOS components should be stackable like the skill hardwire sets. Give them a certain bonus, and if the set is completed an additional cumulative bonus is earned. That would give them purpose, plus raise the value of the items significantly.
Personally, I've never owned or even shopped for any of the COSMOS items. In their current state, they exist purely for novelty.

COSMOS missions are evil. They have no place in EVE, and would be more suited to WoW or EQ. They took the worst of farming missions from other MMO's, and then figured out how to make them suck even more.
Not only do multiple missions have you farming for the same items as other missions, but you're farming them in the same static dungeons as people doing level 1, 2 and even 3 missions. Some items drop so rarely as to make the missions completely impossible to do before they run out.
The farming is so bad, you must use walkthroughs and farm the items BEFORE you start the missions, or you're all but guaranteed to fail and lose faction.
Unfortunately, COSMOS missions are also the only practical way to get faction standings. All the other mission rewards are pointless. The BPC's you get are less than pointless, and I keep getting the same pointless BPC's over and over.
And of course, you are right. The BPC's you get aren't worth building. The items they create are horrible, and it costs a fortune to build.
COSMOS missions are a disgrace to EVE. They represent everything that EVE shouldn't be. I really hope that whomever designed them is no longer working with CCP, or at any other MMO company for that matter.
Without the faction standings increases, I doubt anyone would ever bother with a COSMOS mission. The story they try to tell isn't even compelling enough to do them for the roleplaying, and the loot is utter garbage.
