Originally by: murder one I find this whole thing really amusing.
People are like water. You leave little *****s in the system, they flow through them. No matter how small, how mundane the *****s are, they find them and exploit them.
This is what has been going on with logistics. Everything that is done in todays modern game of Eve with respect to manufacturing and logistics is a hack, a work around.
You guys act like this change is only going to affect you and you alone. Of course it's not, it's going to affect everyone.
Everything about ore compression/loot refining devalues the point of freighters and haulers and miners and the overall scheme of logistics. You're mad because it's not going to be easy anymore. Oh well.
Ease of use devalues breaking supply lines as a war strategy. It devalues the loss of a battleship, or any ship for that matter, if they can be so easily replaced on the spot due to easy production materials derived from ratting/loot.
CCP is slowly plugging the *****s in the design. It's going to take them a while longer to get it sorted out, but just maybe Alliances will be able to be strangled and choked into submission once their supply lines are cut and they can't build any more ships to defend themselves.
Things won't be 'worse'. They'll be different. More difficult in some respects, but not worse. Commanders will value their assets more after this. Killing an enemy ship will be more meaningful after this. Instead of the never ending meat grinder that is todays combat model.
These changes arn't going to dent ratting ISK that much. Mineral generation is going to move from ratting to mining, as it should be. Miners will have their roles become more important as a result. In the long run, once everything gets sorted out, it will be a better game.
Sure, there will be some turmoil in the short term until everyone gets adjusted to the new systems, but it won't be like that forever. Maybe prices go up slightly due to more manpower requirements to actually deliver finished goods, but so what? Everyone will be paying the same prices. It's not like the playing field isn't level.
Heck, it might even provide more opportunity for 'carebear' careers like professional freighter pilots etc.
So very true. Eve is going to change again. People never like change. Just like in the world outside.
