Yeah I know, that was my fault. I should have known better than pick my left nose as a grey cat crossed the street in front of the office ON PATCH DAY!

Seriously, five years and I still do this.

Yes this if how I see. Doing PI in null sec or low sec will make no sense at all with all these changes. Everyone will do there PI and ice mining in high sec make there blocks and move them to null low sec.

While I like the idea as I used to have to spend 8 to 10 hours a week fueling a POS network. I dont see it working well when you add the changes to PI coming out as well. Also I see our faction tower getting screwed as well.

It's all good.

Oh, when you guys look into re-designing the POS's. Might save you a LOT of time if you just introduce new BP's and allow people to decide if they want to take down old pos' for new ones. As long as fuel requirements are the same for a S/M/L starbase, implementing new BP's while removing the old ones will leave "collector" items in the game and thus implement a niche market.


Oh, and imagine the campaigns people could make to rid space of clutter!

Buy where? There is no market or even a station near most of our POSs. In 0.0 we must be self sufficient. At the moment, we harvest all of our POS fuels in system or nearby. Having to travel long distances and make or buy blocks is an epic nightmare.

It's worth noting the corp of people you respond to. Some are obviously CCP favorites, and their comments will obviously be in support of any changes CCP did to buff them and nerf anyone else. Naturally, it sucks to be everyone else.

Well ... all in all i like the changes!

Just some Feedback:
- Would like to see the 4 fuel blocks to look more different. Maybe the easiest thing would be to color it in the racial colors.
- The timer may be too short - looks like some "symbolic" timers

You need much more time with the crappy way to place the mods than they will need to anchor.
The real increase would be a better way to place the Mods faster in the place u want them.

Just a small hint @ the DEVs: Try to Setup a POS with a real setup (Mods on a special position, not just random positions around the POS), then u will see that it's a pain in the ass to move small mods on the exact position u want it.

EDIT1:
What would be also some "epic Style" if u can process the Blocks on a planet in a High-Tech-Processors

EDIT2:
Also very like the style of the Devblog, was laugthing very loud at some points! Keep going with this!

Query or calculate the tower's run time. Replace the contents of the fuel bay with the corresponding number of fuel blocks. It's not that much more complicated. Giving everyone a month of free fuel is a really bad idea though. It will be abused as Callic pointed out, and the ISK value involved is not insignificant.

The issue I guess is that people may still throw up a bunch of temporary towers to produce large quantities of fuel blocks without the build time or factory costs. Whether that one time loophole is acceptable or not is up to CCP.

There's also the people who don't keep their fuel levels balanced to consider. The "run time" conversion would cause them to lose the excess fuel, but I'm willing to bet those people won't care enough to make a fuss about it anyway.

On another note, I'd just like to add my support for the idea of multiplying the whole system by a factor of 100 (and dividing the volume obviously). Maintaining granularity for the sov and faction fuel bonuses is far more important than keeping the number of blocks small.

They're probably thinking of flying the ice fuels into null instead of actually mining the ice that's there, or encouraging industrialists in null to do that for them.

Yeah, that 5 second anchor time is going to turn it into a real grind.

The only inconvenience this is going to cause is the transition period.

CCP ARE EEJITS!

PELLETS!
IT IS CALLED FUEL PELLETS (as per initial idea and previous discussions)

Fuel Blocks just sounds silly, bordering on stupid immediately adjacent to moronic.

PS: Hurry up with removing the blasted things entirely .. they outlived their usefulness the first time they were spammed and thus caused premature hairloss, ulcers and death in the hauling population caught completely unawares.
