Manufacturing broken tutorial

ok - first of all i'm newbie so possibly my negative emotions are due to my noobness in New Eden, but i think it is totally unacceptable to explain step by step how industry works in EVE and finally when player decides everything is clear to give them the frigate BPC and ask them to manufacture.

Suddenly a noob like me is crashing into totally obscured bill from Manufacturing plant sporting the famous "extra materials" section which is not explained anywhere in tutorial, not to mention BPC BoM is a lot cheaper than actual cost of production of that f*****g frigate.

Certainly Google will help with answer the problem with "missing materials" for that first frigate, but why was so hard to add this information on info sheet? And possibly industry tutorial text?

P.S. It is true external tools are available - but they are supported by volunteers - in evelopedia Industry summary page (linked in CCP stiky above) is full of non-working links of such tools.

P.P.S. I must admit that calculating perfect ME is too easy, but level of complexity introduced to those several blueprints for "rebalanced" items is way to much.

The materials not adding up is a bug, which i think was mentioned in another thread. Hopefully they can get that fixed soon.

As to why they don't show the extra materials in the BP, no clue. I've asked for the CSM to push for a fix to that, so we'll see.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
