let me translate the devblog for you all:

"the entire t2 production system sucks and we hate it and want to rip it out and redo it root and branch. that would take a lot of time, so we are introducing alchemy to stem what those awful goons are doing to you in the meantime"

In T1 terms, it would be like if you could create Isogen by banging Veldspar and Scordite together really hard, rather than go out and mine Omber. In the end, you just end up with Isogen, and it makes no difference when you build ships from it.


Fozz, can we noobs in highsec PLEASE have alchemy like this! ... Cause right now Caldari space doesn't have access to isogen and zydrine minerals and I am tired of being a low-sec chew-toy to just make T1 frigs.

This will help a little but does nothing about the remaining static source of isk from Tech that is totaly located in the north. The price of tech will be capped as With Prom and Dysp from the first batch of Alchemy but the prices will remain high.

Out of interest, as you said you have been playing EVE you several years you wouldn't happen to be in the coalition that just concered some of the regions with most of the Cobalt in game would you.

Nothing personal but we're all human and in general humans are the least honest species on the plannet. In the past the big alliances that are friendly with devs, or have devs in them seem to have had crystal balls and been able to gain from updates that the masses (who by the way pay for the game) are not privy to.

there is far too much cobalt in the game to cartel it, and controlling all tech + all cobalt would require us to control half of 0.0 and half of lowsec which is a little absurd

Remember that if you like this change you should hit the "like" button on this post. I need to know if this is the kind of work the community is looking for. ;)


lol so we going to see a special dislike button too so all the Goons can dogpile you? Although after the alchemy system is set in stone I'm sure that it'll end up hurting the little guy while helping the older veterans & the Dislike button then would be removed just like alliance dogpiling was removed as it hurt the Goons Blink

Yes, we'll dislike it when CCP finally do what we tell them they should've done years ago.

Awesome dev blog. I can't wait to see what you choose to do for the collection of "moon goo" in the future!

Finally a change towards fixing the imbalanced income up north, maybe while fixing moons you could do something about POS's, their current mechanics are so painfully bad.

Also, with balancing alliance income, how about you fix some of the Null regions which are almost worth not even holding?

let me introduce you to this concept of "reading quotes". The guy EvilweaselSA was quoting talked about isogen and zydrine, not tech.

Well, there must be a place for all the fail alliances. If those regions were worth something they'd all be back to empire as somebody just would've roflstomped them already. Pirate

boy howdy you're bad at this game

you will still buy tech (well, plat tech) off the market because any efficent production chain relies on division of labor

as a ship manufacturer and miner you would mine what's best for you to mine, sell it for isk, then buy the other minerals you need

anything else is you not understanding what opportunity cost is and being the stereotypical "if i mine it is free" pubbie we all laugh at
