T2 BPOs.

To that, I say just remove T2 BPOs.

10 Run BPO BS, BPC, Dread/Carrier BPC, T2 BPC ... shall I continue?

Mostly good stuff! Two questions/concerns:

Question: now that we'll be able to anchor anywhere regardless of standings...can we also anchor POSes anywhere without needing a moon? (Brah can hope, at least).

Concern: BPOs in POSes...makes this industrialist veeeeery uncomfortable. I'm not concerned about wardecs as much as corp theft. Why make an 'Easy' button for corp thefts like that. Unless you have another trick up your sleeve.

Snarky comment: the moment I die, my consciousness wakes up on the other side of the universe in seconds...but I can't transmit a blueprint for a bullet across the street! I know, I know. :gameplay:. Still annoying and silly.

I'm not happy that my faction standings that I worked so hard for are now useless. Did you guys give any thought to the effects on mission runners who were making a business out of POS standings? Or to mission runners in general? Basically, standings are worthless at this point. In effect, they are nothing more than a penalty on those with bad standings, as there is only one remaining benefit -- access to L4s for faction standings of 5+. All other standings above that number are quite literally useless save for the bonus bpc's (big whoop) and a reduction in taxes for trading (also big whoop for everyone but serious traders).

What about altering the role of Supply Chain Management?

That way people can still keep their BPOs where they are presently, but if they train that skill then they can initiate the build in a station with less activity and not pay the full 14% (for example).

- Didn't realize you were talking about BPCs in a POS-

So an industrialist needs a spare corporation in reserve? I am not sure your suggestion addresses the claimed problem.

It would work once, then if they were wardecced again, they'd be screwed. This is similar to how the system works today.

How many character slots are you willing to dedicate to new refugee corporations?

Again we will see that you can not force people to play stupid.

PvPers keep demanding that rules be changed to make it easier to kill, get stuff.

Once again, all that will happen is that the potential easy targets will alter their play style in a way that means it is still not easy to kill them or get their stuff.


Blueprints have to be at a POS? Okay. We'll create a 1 person, 6 alt corp in high sec, with a large POS with a gazillion hardeners. All we will do with it is crank out BPCs from the BPOs. You'd need hundreds of battleships for a whole day to crack the POS.

Then we will jump the copies out to low/null.

You cannot make us play in a way that makes it easy to kill us and take our stuff. All you can do is make us change our play style, or simply stop playing.


I am getting so sick and tired of the PvPers whining.. oh, change this, or change that... then it would be easy to kill the non-PvPers, or change this so it is easier to get their expensive stuff. WRONG!!!! Change this or that, and we will just adapt our play. We are never going to play a game where we exist to be easy targets for the PvPers. EVER!

People are not going to be putting 10s or 100s of billion of ISK worth of PBOs into corporate POSes, unless is it an alt corp of just their alts.


Removing the ability to leave the BPO at the station and build/research from it at the POS is a stupid, stupid, stupid change, that creates hastle for the industrialist, and WILL NOT achieve the intended purpose of putting the BPOs at risk, because industrialists are not stupid enough to do things that would put those BPOs at risk.


You can't make us play stupid!!!!

Sadly most manufacturing profit comes to an average of about 5% of the value of the item. This means that depending on the usage of the station, it is entirely possible for the profit to be completely lost. Can we please have a graph and numbers to show exactly how this scaling works? For those of us who actually do large amounts of manufacturing, being able to reasonably predict production cost is essential.
