With a PE 40, max skills you can produce 19200 per day: That will fuel a large POS for 20 days.
The Problem here is that the Production is to slow to meet demands. The Mats are there, but it impossible
to get out the numbers that "EvE" needs.
There are not that many who can produce 10 Jobs with 10 BPO`s 24/7. And the few who can will only produce
192 000, a drop in the ocean.
It cost a lot of isk, just to start the show. And not every noob in town can do.
My point is that CCP must have done some bad calculations here, and the only reason why the prices has not
gone skyhigh is weeks of production before the Patch, or that the sellers don't get it.
To be dramatic we can within a month get Fuel blocks cost 3X of what it is today, because of lack
of productions slots for the Indi players. And within days later a Patch that will cut down form 3 min, to 1.5 Min.
Feel free for some Input, comments but for me this seems impossible. In others words Fuel blocks are so
underrated in price, that its just a matter of days before it hits the roof.
I repeat its not the lack of Mats but the lack of players, (number of jobs) able to produce them
Looking at it, and the figures, it is somewhat a bit confusing on the "new pos fueling" methods. As I understand it, it takes 20 fuel blocks per hour for just a medium POS?. Correct me if I am wrong, but the figures required for just 1 fuel block is the same as what it use to require to run a POS for just 1 hour. So if you need 20 fuel blocks per hour which I have been informed it actually is, then I can not see how this makes things efficient and certainly is not cost saving in anyway shape or form. For a starters the 3x cost you stated is vastly low, it is more like 20x more expensive now to fuel a POS because of this ridiculous requirement of 20 fuel blocks per hour. Again you might correct me on that 20 fuel blocks per hour, because when I sore it, I was shocked at why CCP would add such a thing, when it was working fine as it was.
Unless you have an army of PI accounts, and I mean an army, CCP have just made pos management which was already a pain in the butthole a lot more inefficient and considerably more expensive. Who makes these decisions exactly?, it is another terrible decision, hikes up the prices throughout considerably, and just adds in a huge amount of work that the original method of fuel pos requirement did not.
WHY CCP, why do you keep changing things that already worked.
