No, I was pointing out that the very thin connection you were attempting to draw was full of ****. And I did that pretty well since your immediate response was 'oh no I didn't mean that at all'.

Very smooth.

no i was comparing customer service regarding changes to the game and the respose of ccp to customer feed back. please reread if you still dont see it

1 robotics = 4 Blocks = 1 h of running a large POS.

little pice of advice:
read the Dev Blog bevor posting or at least one of the 30 Postes which already pointed that out...

"judged to be better"

Better for whom? The people who now have to pay less to fuel their POS? Because it certainly isn't better for new players who are dependent on PI for their isk, while at the same time having to deal with the ridiculous idea of destructable COs in the near future and DUST later on.

As a matter of fact, just who does CCP think is going to pay mercenaries to defend Planetary Interaction buildings when CCP is doing everything in its power to nerf the living crap out of it?

"judged to be better"

I thought you guys learned from your mistakes. Ask the community first. Don't make these "judgement calls" without feedback. Good lord.

Amen. +1

I'm keeping this drum beating. At least after they make this stupid change I'll know that I did everything in my power to stop it.

yeh that was my point.

anom nerf effecting 0.0 residence, there were many reasons why that chnage was bad listed and ignored.(we know how well that change worked out)
the pos fuel change effects 0.0 residence primarly(forget faction towers). there are many reasons why removing the sov discount is bad and all have been listed. will they also be ignored this time round?

Somewhere at Page 10 was:



So give them the time they need to think about that....

At least they are listening. (or they were till page 10 or so...)

I think those changes are very good, but after reading the Comments i saw much doubt about the Fact, that the Fuel Block are Racial.
So i don't know, but i would like to propose to Split the Fuel Blocks in 2 parts: the Fuel Blocks, and the Fuel Rods.
Tthe Fuel Blocks contain the 8x Coolant, 4x Mechanical Parts, 20x Oxygen, 1x Robotics, 150x Heavy Water and 150x Liquid Ozone and Fit in all types of Control Towers.
And the Fuel Rods contain the 4x Enriched Uranium and the racial 400x Isotopes wich make them the Racial Based Fuel.
Would give Corporations with different Control-towers the flexibility to have universal fuel in storage for all POSes and some "Racial Based Fuel" for their different reactors.
Maybe a stupid Idea, but well i still like it.

Not sure if its anything like this has already been posted, don't feel like reading 37 pages :S, but would having blocks setup something like this make much more sense?

Use 24 blocks as the batch size, same time of 10 minutes, and the volume of each block is scaled properly so that the total volume produced from 24 blocks would be the same total volume as the proposed 4 blocks, this should work for nicely then for scaling in faction fuel bonus. For example

Standard towers:
small 6 per hour
med 12 per hour
large 24 per hour

Tier 1 Faction:
small 5 per hour
med 10 per hour
large 20 per hour
Thats 16.666666667% reduction in fuel

Tier 2 Faction:
small 4 per hour
med 8 per hour
large 16 per hour
Thats 33% reduction in fuel

As can be seen, its not hard to scale some numbers to find an easy solution to keep fuel usage bonuses, and there would be infinite other numbers you can use to scale accordingly and get different % reductions and so on, also to factor in sov fuel bonuses.

This just seems that from the blog you havent tried to find a solution and just said 'lets use 4 blocks!, but the bonuses don't scale...to hard to work out....I know no bonsues and bigger bay!' Don't get me wrong blocks are great and something I've seen threads about for years that people have been calling for, this is what we want to see! what I Don't want is to see another half-done CCP implementation of something getting shoved through the door that isnt going to work nicely and then might not get touched for a few years. It appears you are trying to turn this trend around, and hopefully you do, but past experiences show thats what has happened a lot, fingers crossed not anymore.

omg you ewok ....
