vanBuskirk Caldari	Posted - 2008.03.11 10:28:00 - [1] I know this question is somewhere on these forums already, but I can't find it. The patch notes have been changed; they did have on them something about Glossy Compound having been changed to give different results when refined, and now they don't. Has anyone actually tested this on the test server? And is that someone willing to tell us the results? ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
zacuis	Posted - 2008.03.13 13:05:00 - [2] yes it would seem they halfed the amount of mega cyte comining from glossy compound. glossys the only alloy that makes megacyte and is a significant contributor to the amount of mega in the game. no wonder they didnt want us knowing about this. some lucky bugger will be making a mint reselling this stuff now
Kyoto Luyi	Posted - 2008.03.13 14:54:00 - [3] It's because Drone Regions are already way overpowered and have too much riches and shiny stuff in them... yup - that must be it.

Chigger Troutslayer	Posted - 2008.03.13 16:19:00 - [4] They also added some mexallon to the Glossy which is desparately needed in the drone regions. Its the one thing we are always running short of to build stuff. The rats didn't drop much of it and the rocks don't yield much either. This was actually a boost imo, now we don't have to import as much mex from empire to build out pew pew ships.
vanBuskirk	Posted - 2008.03.13 18:36:00 - [5] Thanks for the replies, although I'd already checked it for myself about half an hour after the server came up. For everyone else's benefit: Megacyte 3, Mexallon 210, Nocxium 4 (at perfect refine). Time to speculate on megacyte? ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

Agreed. ------------------------------------------------- ** You're out of your mind! ** Well that's between me and my mind.
Chomapuraku	Posted - 2008.03.13 21:03:00 - [7] so they gimped the mega output and boosted the mex output? excellent! now i have some incentive to rat in the drone regions. there's plenty of arkonor in the drone regions and geminate, so there's still plenty of mega available. mex is also valuable as hell in geminate, so i can sell that part of the haul before shipping off to jita to sell the rest of my load. now that there's plenty of mex, the only logistical nightmare for drone region settlers is pos fuel. this is a HUGE boost to those living in dronespace and those living next to it. now you'll see some REAL industrial development going on there

Lord Fitz	Posted - 2008.03.14 00:58:00 - [9] The value of Glossy has slightly decreased :\ But the utility value has increased.

Probaly because it didn't really yield that much megacyte anyway - a typical drone level 4 might drop about 80 glossy compound, which before the changes would be about 480 megacyte. Not a lot. There is actually rather more megacyte in the guns that NPC battleships drop. Oh well, the stockpile will get used sooner or later... ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

insane power Squad Hunters	Posted - 2008.03.14 19:41:00 - [11] Hi all, but where is the drone region, I've heard about it lots but don't know which area it is in. Any info would be great.

I was looking at Jita yesterday and Mega was 2700/unit, I could swear it was closer to 2300/unit a week ago. ---- FREE Explorer Lead Megalomanic EVE Automated Influence Map
