seriously? what is this? some freaking MUD for people with no lives?
we should be able to queue up at least 24 hours worth of invention job.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

Hello, you must be new to the industry side of eve. Maybe try reading any of the billion or so threads that have been created to complain about the horrible invention interface. There are also hundreds of posts in features and ideas section of the forum on how to fix this, some dating back almost 3 years.

Unfortunately, the pvp'ers in eve somehow get the attention of the devs every time. The manufacture/research/invention sides of eve have not been touched for years. Only real industry thing was planetary interaction which is now becoming pvp based as well. Straight

I think the op refers to having only a maximum of 10 research jobs available.
Which is nothing, when you are inventing modules.

And I still find it okay this way. Hardcore inventors, who use their lunch break or stand up in the middle of the night to deliver and put in new jobs in, should be more rewarded than those who barely log in.
PI used to be that way. I hope that changes a bit, because now people are afraid of the new poco

If you could do that, then margins on T2 products would be even narrower then they are now and you'd make less ISK. The entire market might end up looking like the T2 drone market, where only the Gallente & Minmatar drones make a profit.

Once you get up into running 10 invention jobs at a time, you can still fairly easily outpace what you can manufacture wih 10 slots on the same char. I usually run 3 batches a night, being on for a couple hours. I've got about 40-50 unmanufactured T2 BPCs, and the number is gaining daily.

I have a second toon for copying, but he's not skilled enough for manufacture yet. Once that happens though...

Welcome to S&I. Try not to hit your head on the bad UI too often, some people think it causes stress.

Not exactly true you forgot we finally got a new icon for BPC so you can tell them apart from BPO's this year...we only started asking for it around BETA. So they haven't TOTALLY ignored us, give credit where it is due Roll

He only needs to wait what 5 to 6 years on a good suggestion for industry for it to see the light of day Shocked based on CCP prior history.
