EVE General Discussion

The only reason CVA have space is because nobody wants to grind through 56 station timers in order to live in Providence. Tech moons in providence along with destructible outposts... Party time.

tesselation and ring mining are 2 completely diff things tesselation is an entire rework of all the graphics where as ring mining is just implementing a small addon ccp could do it in a month or 2 tesselation will be next year or something

T2 production won't become cheaper, the price will be offloaded onto all the other materials required.

Especially if ring mining requires active mining. If a whole bunch of mining fleets suddenly swap out to do ring mining, supply of high ends will drop dramatically.

Since ring mining is supposedly part of a full on industry revamp it would be reasonable to assume CCP will be rebalancing multiple aspects of the mining experience.


Ring mining is a major rework of core game mechanics, it is not something CCP can bash out in a month.

Also, IIRC from fanfest tessellation is going to have a reasonably large team dedicated to it.

I thought that was pretty funny.

I didn't know that It is tech that drives the CFC's dominance, and not the tight-knit relationships and organizational capacity of a medium-sized business...

Good thing I have Eve-o GD to free me from my delusions.

Definitely was not joking, even if it is funny.

Oh he gets it... He mines with 8 ships. He really does get it.

CCP will just pooch this.

They will try and tie it to planetary control in a desperate attempt to save Dust 514 from it's dwindling player base 2 years from now when Ring mining release. They want to use the same team that is doing the POS revamp as opposed to concurrent development.



CCP needs to release POS, Ring Mining and destructible outposts all at the same time

I get your point, But I think i would rather not have several "micro" expansions a year and wait to have these implemented at the same time. I think they are all linked very closely and doing 1 puts the other 2 out of balance.

Maybe, but with incremental alterations it's easier to roll back mistakes, identify which variables are causing unintended consequences and model solutions or tweaks that will actually work.

If you take a complex system, and make changes to a laundry list of interrelated mechanics in one fell swoop, then when something goes wrong it becomes exponentially harder to identify and correct those issues. As they're dependent on other variables that haven't reached equilibrium yet.

Generally for these reasons, especially in a system that you want to continue running (relatively) smoothly, incremental updates are always safer.

Basically mess with all that at stuff once, market gonna go craaaaaazy.

And why does the price of tech come down? Because miners are mining tech?

So what aren't those miners mining?

Anyway, even that is pointless speculation based on the simplest possible implementation of ring mining. Since ring mining seems like it is going to come with a hefty overhaul of the entire system it's nearly impossible to predict the outcome. For all we know they might even change material requirements or yields.

One thing we do know though: CCP will not allow T2 ships to become dirt cheap. Balance and what not. Something will have to go up if tech goes down.
