You wait 'till it's actually released in a few weeks, when the patch rolls out.

I saw they mentioned one of the Thukker Tribe stations ... but I imagine others will have the BPOs as well.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I was wondering about this myself seeing as how you have to actually make the fuel before the pos's switch to using the new fuel? Surely they aren't going to release it same day, and hopefully give us enough time to actually get the blue print and have a chance to make some fuel?

Some people only have one or two POS's, others might have 30 or more. A decent amount of time to get **** going would be nice.

Fuel Block Implementation
The way we're going to roll this out is that the blocks, their blueprints and the changes to tower capacities will be introduced in the main patch. The changes to fuel consumption on the towers will be rolled out a couple of weeks later. The starbase system doesn't allow for multiple simultaneous fuel types, so we have to switch from one to the other during downtime.

The way we're strongly advising players to approach this handover is to fill your fuel bays with "half and half" - enough of the old fuel to last you to the changeover downtime and then some (I'd suggest 2-3 days extra just in case something horrible happens), and enough of the new fuel blocks to run the tower until you can fill it with 100% blocks. The server should then come back up after the update, see the new fuel and start consuming that like nothing had happened.

But i would still like some BPO´s to research ahead.
That would be a nice thing.

1. the research won't take that long. (IIRC, they're talking about 5% base waste, applied only to 'topes)
2. the BPOs are coming out ~2-4 weeks ahead of the fuel switchover...

I fail to see a problem here
