This is the worst idea ive read in along time. Nothing should be seeded by NPC's EVE is a sandbox which means players produce everything in it, we dont want to go back to having pos fuel seeded by NPC's

Just make POS fuel standard or racial NPC seeded from the market. Yes, it would be a logistical issue for nullsec alliances to get their fuel but it puts work in the hands of jump freighter pilots.

You realize you can buy the fuel from players on the market? Or does your religion forbid you to buy stuff from other players?

**** you, **** you in the ear.


And that's about as kindly as I can put how ridiculous the idea that more JF work is a good idea.

Not regretting it... just understanding the pain.

The whole proposed fuel block change is a complete and utter waste of time.

Fuel worked fine the way it was, it was simple math. Stop trying to idiot proof EvE. We like it because it's not idiot proof.

The new fuel blocks are nothing but a hassle.

My faction tower is now worthless and my stockpile of fuel now needs to be tediously converted to fuel blocks.

Complete waste of resources CCP. What is the point of having a faction tower now? Larger fuel bay? What a joke.



Good troll effort, but no follow up posts to bait with, thats a solid B- for you

I'm sure his religion only prevents buying isotopes that someone refined (from ice blocks that someone mined) as getting to that point required no blueprint or manufacturing line. As soon as blueprint is involved, it is no longer "kosher" and he must do that step himself.

Or something.

Or perhaps he's one of those "I mine/PI it myself, hence it is free" people. They tend to be hard to convince.

A month from now almost every POS operator will just buy stacks of fuel blocks from Jita and carry on. At the same time a bunch of T1 newbie industrial types found a new way to make few percent off each of those transactions and are grinning wide as the ISKies flow.

(oh, I'm sure most will fiddle with fuel and manufacture blocks at first but when they notice that the money they save compared to just getting ready-made blocks is in the 3-5% range, they'll eventually give up and just buy blocks to save effort)
