You've missed the point of my post entirely. It is about shocking a playstyle and pointing out a risk versus reward already existed.

Carebears not caring for risk implies that they do not wish to involve themselves in a high risk situation, which is the same as a lower tolerance for risk. That is their playstyle.

CCP definitely has to consider their own form of risk with an update and that is risk analysis of a game change. It's common practice for a large system change to include a risk analysis along with the design documentation and technical doc (or, atleast, I've written many many risk analysis docs for changes).

Stating that CCP "should not care too deeply about carebears" is like stating "CCP should not care deeply about its largest share of customers". CCP would lose a massive amount of revenue with that attitude. I can only surmise that you are attempting to troll with that backward statement.

It's obvious that PvP drives a good portion of the market, but that is way off topic and has nothing to do with my post.

^^ This, Im done. Yeah, yeah I know I can simply offset this by raising my own prices and raping customers, but thats OK, ill pass.

Done.

Marsan, I have about three planets that I even have a single other player using.

How much you think I'm gonna get at 10%?

BTW: I actually did look into doing one myself: while it will only take me an hour or two to kill the existing interbus unit, the 200m that the POCO currently costs seems like wasted isk.

Not really. With the spam warp method, your pod is in warp before it even shows on everybody's overview. You can't start to lock it. I know this, because people do it to me all the time. And saving extreme bad luck or pilot error, you shouldn't really lose a BR.


Roughly 200-300k isk/day per colony on the planet. So you would nearly double your profits!

Initially CCP was just as clueless as most PI producers seem to be. Hence the announcement about "taxes are going to be doubled".

However, some players did the math and pointed out that at these completely insignificant tax rates (where "5 percent tax" was not actually 5 percent tax on the market price of the goods, but on some completely imaginary base price that then worked out to a fraction of a single percent) meant that nobody would build POCOs because it would literally take years to pay off the investment even if you could work at 0% tax (or tax others, even at 100% "tax rate").

Then CCP suddenly realized that what they thought was "5% tax on PI goods" was not actually that, so they revised the "prices for taxation purposes" at the very last moment - a very much needed change - and failed to communicate that properly.

Now the taxes actually reflect reality. If POCO taxes at 10%, it will be 10% of a rate that is at least close to market prices. Personally I'd wish the "prices for taxation purposes" would automatically be recalculated monthly or quarterly, based on average real market prices, but that involves :code: and :effort: from CCP, so until then this last minute hack job works as a placeholder.

All complaining about taxes are rateards just recalculate all prices and start sell at new price if you sell at old price you are dump as hell and you deserve to lose. Fack some people just don't want adapt and learn.

The cost of cap ship parts is not likely to go down much because of this, the initial cost of the gantry is in the 100m range. The additional PI items to bring it online are currently about 90m and climbing in my region.

You add that 550 000 into your sell order. Simple.

It's fun to see a goonswarm alt like Regneir try and troll.

Mostly because if they, say, nerfed rats, moons, and arknor into the ground like PI, they'd be one of hte first groups to line up and scream.

0% tax in my riskless null sec space 8)

also hahaha he thinks people who own 76 tek moons mine

hahaha we own one and even we don't mine
