EVE Information Portal

Ok, I'm going to mention this bug (I consider it a bug) that I found, in the hope it gets some attention. I figured someone had already reported it, but since it didn't make the list and it's not fixed, apparently, I was incorrect.

The dev blogs about ME reduction of materials were pretty clear, and made sense that for things like building T2 ships, you couldn't by making 10 Paladins, reduce the number of required Apacalypse hulls to 9 (with a possible -10% BPC).

They were also clear that materials that had low number WOULD be reduced in larger run jobs using the -x% ME advantage (nice, btw, we like that).

However, I ran into an edge condition that you might not have taken into account when writing the code:

Nanite Paste (my example I found, they may be others)

Uses 1 Data Chip, 1 Gel-Matrix Biopaste, and 4 Nanites to make 10 units.
With a -10% on the BPO/BPC, the numbers of nanite are reduced, BUT NOT the number of either Data Chips or Gel-Matrix Biopaste.

Now, since the output is a 10:1 ratio on those two items used for inputs, it doesn't fit the same case as reducing an item that you must have (mostly) intact to build the output, such as a T1 ship hull that is super-modified to become a T2 ship hull. Instead, you've got something that starts as 1 item, but then in the great mixing vat, gets divided between 10 resulting items. Certainly this case meets the criteria of something that could be reduced through efficient manufacturing processes.

I can see exactly how the code probably looked, if (trequiredQuantity != 1) {apply ME bonus}. Gotcha. Just add another element to the blueprint that says the singular items in required materials must always be singular. Or something to that effect.

Thanks!

As others have mentioned, the tooltip that shows the skills required is very annoying.

Inevitably the tooltip gets triggered as you moving the mouse to the number of runs field. The tooltip pops up and now you have to wait for it to disappear before you can type in your chosen number of runs.

Suggestion: Remove the tooltip entirely if I have all the skills required. If I'm missing skills, then the tooltip popping up and obscuring the number of runs isn't really a problem.


Also, the input field where you type in the numbers of runs is very weird. The cursor position is all wrong when you typing.

Clicking the button didn't work which was the reason for the bug report.

Happily can confirm copy job eventually accepted at station so this bug fixed.

The Whiptail and Chameleon are both missing their traits tab, so there's no information in-game as to what their bonuses are.

all of the various t2 ship trees follow a certain conformity of material needs.
meaning all four of each t2 variant uses the same component list.

The exception i've noticed is the command ships, eos and astarte deviate from this pattern.

the following links are side by side comparisons of the two tiers of command ships.

was this intentional?

That is disappointing to read. Making them very expensive (read more than a few million isk) might have helped reduce the abusive bubble spam in many renter systems.

Is there a plan from the devs to address that particular crap tactic of increasing system lag via bubble spam?

Don't know if it's been brought up, but if so than ignore...

Reprocessing Window bug - On occasion, when selecting multiple item stacks (commonality of this bug seems to be affected by the number of item stacks selected) and selecting reprocess from the right-click dropdown while reprocessing window is not open.

Effect - Causes items in both the input and output fields to overlap and stick to the top of the window. Workaround is to simply close the window and reopen the window first and re-add the items. Only seems to happen once per playthrough (i.e., won't occur again until you log off and back on again).

It's a minor issue as it leaves the reprocessing window still able to function somewhat (reprocess and cancel buttons still work, but cannot drag-and-drop or remove individual items or see mouse-over tool tips), but simply closing and reopening fixes it and leaves no further impact on its functionality.

Another twist regarding Mouse-over tool tips in Reprocessing Window - Mouse-overs in the output field (input field not included) appear atop the stack and travel upwards on screen, even if the items are physically near the top of the screen, rendering them impossible to read. Input field item stacks start from the side and travel downwards.

Suggested solution - Give mouse-overs in output fields ability to travel downwards when near the top of the screen or upwards when near the bottom, as with the input field, and (possibly) add scroll functions to them for especially tall mouse-overs (minerals such as tritanium are bad about this).

Edit: Sent a bug report in on both, no pictures though since I run Eve across on both my monitors and have heard screen shots don't work very well in multi-monitor settings. They should be easy enough to reproduce though.

Industry Window Display Bug on PC:

For me as Corp CEO, no problem.

For everyone else in the Corp including my alts who takes a Corp Blueprint and uses it to Manufacture, 'Items Required' says there is nothing in the hangar. If they ignore this and press START anyway, the job proceeds normally. If there aren't enough raw materials, it doesn't.

Yes they have Permissions, both as individuals and in their Titles. Yes we've tried switching hangars, putting the Blueprint in the same hangar as the materials, etc.
