Ok, am I the only person who thinks the starbase exploit was put in on purpose?
There are actually two exploits and they seem (IMHO) to be designed to work together and be easy to hid.
Why? to get this exploit to work you needed to have a starbase setup in a specific & broken way. If you managed to find the "secret" setup for starbase you would be rewarded with more materials than should be possible from a single day of reactions.
So the two exploits are:
-- "Secret" setup where a starbase can make items from nothing
-- Get more products than should be allowed
I can see one of these two things happening in a broken system, but not both happening.
This type of setup would not normally every be checked in the process of normal QA. However, it should have been found by a simple audit asking what starbases are producing above their max possible under the expected design.
I wonder what else in Eve is doing producing more than the system expects.

People don't know who doc brown is?
Isn't he that crazy old dude from Back to the Future?
Yup, I am a crazy old due.
I know I called it an "easter egg", the other name this could be called is a "Backdoor".
Either way my point is that this was put in by a dev.
Seriously, do you think that it's an accident that a specially setup in a broken manner can yeild more resources than a working one should do in one day?
And if it is an honest coding error, well what does that say about the rest of the system?
And no, I am not somebody's alt. And no, I didn't ask anybody to share my opinion and if you disagree with it then fine, just be constructive in your disagreement.
btw, anybody see an old silver delorian laying around? I forgot where I parked it.
