Keep all the clicks, it means less people getting involved

... rocket launcher, best launcher.

Pi really does require alot more for the "how **** is setup" and TEMPLATES I MAKE! For social side, something as simple as allowing different characters cc's to work in conjunction on a planet ie. character a makes these things on this planet and character b receives those things and further refines them. This ofcourse means basicly that a guy with multiple characters can build an easier to manage empire but, it also means 2 guys can do something with pi with co-operation while not having to rely on when they are online to move **** to eachother.

Any co-op changes will only be successful if there are incentives to do it. Right now the incentives are really small and you have to work to get them.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like co-op PI production that adds a link between two (or more) players setups on a planet. The incentive could be something like for every link to another player you gain some percentage boost of pg or CPU for instance. Yes, players with many alts could benefit but so does everyone else and it would allow solo players to co-op easier than before.

I'm not sure what to do with mining, maybe some sort of 'you must be at the keyboard to press X at the right time to get the bonus' would work. I played an MMO once where you could fit 8 players in a ram to break down a castle gate. The interface allowed players to click 'shove' based on the timing of the ram swing. The closer you were to pushing at the optimal time caused the whole ram to do more damage. If all 8 players were paying attention, and timing it right, you would have maximum effect. I'm not sure if that concept would work well but you could program something that isboxers and afkers couldn't benefit from and people paying attention could.

But anyway, without an incentive for doing something that they cannot get themselves, people won't do it. I hope CCP recognizes this.

Hi Dave Stark, I have added a link to the EVE Launcher, an announcement thread to this forum and included the survey also in the weekly summary This Week in EVE.

It is very true that we want to reach out as to many industrialists as possible with the survey. Please spread the word too, thank you.

Or steal all your BPOs that you worked for, let's face it CCP intend to leave BPs management in corps open and loose so they open backdoor for anyone with right roles to steal Corps member BPOs and assets to create the " sandbox game" . As result we became 1 man corp if anyone wants to enjoy doing that.

Edit:

When I got hooked up with EVE my understanding of BPO research was about changing the attributes of the BPO product, like researching to change the base agility of battleship in risk of reducing the hull hitpoints ( of course not to make it agile as interceptor but to limit of course), or modify the Blaster charges capacitor need bonus in risk of doing less damage.

Imagine how true sand box game you are creating ! You wanna buy the best agile raven in EVE go to X or Y they will sell you BPC for 1 run to make. Nullsec alliance wants a cutting edge advantage in the next 2 months against another alliance they want the best blaster charges that gives longevity in the field without draining their capacitors for long fights... go to that guy he is the Master of the Blasters and they cut him a deal to provide this alliance with enough blaster charges BPCs for the next 2 months.

I was so excited if this was possible but sadly it wasn't...

CCP should know who has the T2 BPO's and who is monopolizing/manipulating the T2 component resources.
