EVE Information Portal

I wouldn't say it was your grammar, it's your vocabulary. You're using words without knowing what they mean, apparently.

Take for example your sarcastic comment about my arguments. You called it irony. They are not the same thing.

Inconceivable!

Can we please have some difference between racial custom offices? - If not Winter then some short time after?

Even if this difference is aesthetic initially I think it would add to the game..... I mean each FACTION LP store is providing blueprints - please don't make them generic, this is an opportunity to add a little flavour. Same goes for Interbus customs offices....

Gallente ones should resemble Pleasure Hubs!

As for the rest of the changes, I'd prefer it if Interbus hubs were weaker....you know how long it will take players to clear them all?

I'm also sceptical about Low Sec PI - There really is no advantage of doing PI there, as it will likely be less secure than nullsec and not enough more raw product to risk it over high sec.

Other than that, should be fun. We'll see.

Nope. This is a great change. You are incorrect and CCP is going to continue to make this one of, if not the, best expansion ever despite you're irrelevant pleas and nonsensical tears.

Hooray!

Careful, you're letting your character's age show. Also, I get the distinct impression that you haven't been paying attention to this feature since its announcement and the sensible arguments against this implementation and the preceding one.

Careful, you're letting your character's cognitive failings show.

Yes, I've read. The argument boils down to "I don't want to change. I like PI by myself and other players are scary". Now, some posts are much more long-winded than one sentence, sure, but I'm talking about big picture stuff. There are still some actual good and relevant suggestions in here, but they are drowned out by meaningless whines.

As best I can see the number one concern that was widely expressed has been dealt with, all CO's will stay in place until destroyed. For those people who do PI in out of the way backwaters and were concerned that they'd loose functional access to their planets, problem solved 100%.

For those people who are stressed that BPC's will be unavailable, dont worry. The amount of Concord LP generated in the last 3 months is astronomical, the same can be said for FW. As with every commodity in EVE there will be competition on pricing from day 1. At worst you only need to wait 2 weeks or months for them to hit rock bottom, and then profit. At worst don't destroy the existing CO's in your wormhole and win to.

In a wildly optimistic way Kitten is right, this is a buff to the various people who live in low sec full time. PCO's can be a viable revenue generator in and of themselves and have the potential to spin off additional revenue in the local low sec market. How many of the pirates and gankers that I encounter on a daily basis are likely to do this ? I'd be stunned if one let alone two did. In much the same way I'd be equally surprised to see them bother shooting the Interbus one's, but that is minutely possible.

To pmchem, thanks for doing all that math. I must admit that I assumed a 100% tax was equivalent to being locked out but you've proved that to be quite wrong. The arbitrary or non market value being assigned at present has the potential to be troublesome. I would have preferred that the tax rate have been an actual material amount taken as opposed to a new isk generator. It should be noted however that most p3's aren't made in high sec, at least not from low sec base components. It's often to risky, and in general for to inefficient, to move that volume of material for final processing to high sec. ATM I would say that most savy people who do PI in low sec run the entire process from start to finish in place and then haul out the completed robotics or guidance systems. That said, how does this effect your estimates ? At what estimated tax rate does it become smarter to move p3 out of low sec and into high sec for final processing ?

Using pmchem's numbers, the estimated time to pay for a CO is @ 30 days with 110k volume per day at 20% tax . That seems a bit high by my estimates for what the average low sec planet generates in exploitable resources and for the number of people I see doing PI. Provided that griefing doesn't get out of control , the threat of which i think is greatly exaggerated, 60-90 days to return your initial investment followed by years of afk isk should attract a reasonable number of entrepreneurs and offer a viable risk v reward ratio for larger high sec corps.

The only thing i can see as being a cause for concern is if PCO's get added to the Hulkageddon 5 tally. Then I'd predict we see every smart person waiting till February to set them up and the prices of the BPC's crashing post launch. Fun times ahead.

If people, for mental reasons, shoot at a CONCORD owned CO in high sec will it not trigger a global criminal flagging and make them feel the unpleasantness of a CONCORDOKEN? And if so (or not), maybe you should highlight that part a bit.

Random alliances hot drop into low sec to just blow stuff up for the fun of it. Much like the Honey Badger, "Supercap Aliiances don't care, they just do what they want!"

So they could free or a bazzilion isks and the result is the same. Slow day, no targets, just finished washing and waxing the cap fleet and my ammo is near its "use by date". "Lets go pop some CO's and see what kicking over the ant hill brings out".

More little guys get pushed out of already bleak and empty low sec. What happened to graduated risks, now low sec and null are identical for PI, actually, no, null is probably safer.

CCP, please consider selling Eve to a company with a clue. You lost yours.
