I read this article today and noticed that it is now going to cost me 4x as much to run a large POS then it did before the patch? Is this correct?

No, you're propably making the common mistake of multiplying the cost by four, since you didn't notice you build 4 blocks/batch of materials.

I am currently running a large POS which requires the same amount of fuel now that it would take to make 1 block. With this switch over, it will now require 4 blocks.

If that was the case, you would see forum fire. Do you see forum fire?! No!?

Then you probably misplaced a number somewhere on your math =)

Yes it will require 4 blocks per hour, that is one batch.

My fault, I missed that on my calculations. I thought the BP was going to run a batch of 1. Thank You

actually it will require 40 blocks per hour, but that is still one batch. if you learn to read - people told you in this thread and you still repeated the wrong information.


(they multiplied the block count and reduced its size by a factor of 10 so they could put Sov and Faction tower bonuses back in)

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

I'm still getting used to this "responding to player feedback" thing. Its weird and kinda creepy.

Confirming this.


The fuel block bpo produced 40 blocks which runs a large tower for 1 hour.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

I'm looking forward to having "Purina POS Pellets". It's gonna be so much less of a pain to haul 1 thing instead of 8.

Yes, perhaps in time we will adapt.
