I've been keeping an eye on the thread for a while. Based on the comments I've seen, let me present a wish-list.

1. Re-establish Faction towers and Sov. bonuses. Solved.
2. Color the cubes. Solution.
3. Make something for WH-dwellers, poor they are. Solution: dunno - technetium moons, maybe?
4. Re-establish flexible Liquid Ozone and Heavy Water consumption. Solution.
5. Update dev blogs. Solution: use keyboard.

As you can see, we have solutions as well. We - the Community. The only thing that's left - is to make CCP implement them. Any suggestions, folks?

I didn't read through all 50+ pages, do we have an answer to the following question:
When will the cube BPOs be seeded on TQ? I recon it should be at least 1-2 weeks before the actual system switch.

random though - would be fun it a rorqual compression would make the Fuel blocks.... just the shape looks like compressed ore.

Go back to the first post. use the link in it to the update. Stop looking like you can't be bothered to read.

Dig back through the last 5-10 pages (at most). Perfect ME for 400 units of isotopes is about ME 80, but once you get to ME 14, you only waste 3 isotopes per block (0.75% waste on the isotopes). At ME 40, you reduce that to 1 waste unit.

Getting to ME 14 is not going to take you very long, at which point you can throw it in a manufacturing line for about 1.5 days in order to produce about 30.5 days of large fuel.

Base production time 5 minutes per 40 blocks, minus 20% for Industry V, minus another 17% if you go for PE 8, minus another 25% if you use a POS comp/ammo array, minus another 6% if you have the implant. Which drives the time down to about 2.5 minutes to create a single hour worth of large non-faction tower fuel pellets.

So in 2-3 days, you can easily create 4 weeks of fuel using a slightly inefficient BPO (ME 14), after which you toss it back in the research lab for another week or two to get to ME 80 (if saving that single unit of isotopes really matters, otherwise stop at ME 40).

yay bonuses! thanks! you're great ccp!

With all the love and hate over this Fuel Block issue. I think CCP should think of another option. Why not allow both? Allow us to use the new fuel blocks or raw fuel components. I realize there are still people that will jump up and down screaming yelling murder with a system like this. I am aware there would be an issue with the robotics, but I think it's still fair to have to use a full unit of robotics per hour in small and medium towers for those that would like to use raw components.

I support the idea of the larger batches of fuel blocks to allow faction towers to get their bonus.

I for one like the idea of fuel blocks because it will in some way bring more order to keeping a POS fueled. But looking at it in terms of game lore, it's just dumb. Even though all the components of fuel are called fuel in general, they are not really all fuel and each component would do different things for a tower in terms of fuel and maintenance. So squishing them all into a block and tossing them into the reactor sounds like a silly and counter productive thing to do.

For those worrying about fuel costs on towers that were previously not maxed out on HW/LOz usage, the short answer is that for small/medium towers you'll still have a cost savings, just not as big as those who were previously maxed out already. Large towers will be roughly break-even.

will alliance members be able to use pos facilities? that would be nice

First, my apologies, I'm new at this blogging game so bear with me.

Second, I've tried to read thru all 56 pages of comments but I still don't know where I'm going to be buying the fuel bpo's and how I'm going to be paying for them. Are they going to be from the LP store?

And if you can tell me where I can find the original blog on this and how to keep up with this stuff, I won't have to bother you all that much anymore....

Thanks! in advance.
