Was looking at some charts this morning and noticed the incredible drop in price of all R.A.M. components.
I don't do any type of building and have no understanding of what these are used for but from what I read here...

...although the drop in price looks dramatic it's actually sort of a non event as everyones stockpiles were multiplied accordingly thereby rendering the market chart on these useless. (for all intents and purposes)

Am I in the ballpark/understanding this correctly?

They were changed from taking damage per run to getting consumed per run.
Because of that everything requires more of them now.
Existing stockpiles were multiplied by 1000 to balance out the change.

Hence the drop in price.

Almost...

They used to take a percentage of damage per run, so the easy solution was to remove damage, and consume the same amount.

Example: pre-Crius 10% damage to R.A.M. = post-Crius consume 10 R.A.M.

So existing stockpiles multiplied by 100. The BPOs now produce 100 with (roughly) the same materials.

Appreciate the input. Love that they actually used a nice round number like 100. How often does that happen in eve?Big smile
