And paragraph rants?

Question for CCP:

On patch day, what happens to queued up jobs? Will they start after the patch as then there are an unlimited number of slots? Or will the queue remain for just those jobs, and only be eliminated once the queue empties out?

Will the cost of those jobs installed before the patch change? That is, will I get a new bill?

Somehow I foresee a zillion manufacturing and BPO research jobs all starting at once at Jita on expansion day.

What I've learned from this thread is that many high sec industrialists have highly vested interests in keeping manufacturing an obscure, tedious, boring system, which requires inane and irrelevant grinds like raising standings via missions for a POS, etc., in order for new industrialists to make a reasonable profit.

Overall, as a player who has never touched manufacturing but would someday like to, I am optimistic about these changes, but I think a few bigger issues need to be addressed:

1. If POSes are going to become more accessible (a great change imo) and more useful, this makes the POS revamp all the more needed.

2. Along the same lines as 1., something will need to be done about offline POSes--this is a pretty common practice at the moment, and there is no real incentive for groups to declare war and grind out an offline POS. Many suggestions have been floating around and all of them could work--hacking offline POSes, only getting a criminal flag when attacking one, etc.

3. Null becoming more profitable is great, but it needs to be more dangerous--particularly deep null which is in some ways even safer than high sec. I am also hoping low sec does not get the short end of the stick here, and that it receives a nice boost to industry benefits (and hey, why not improve FW benefits as well? Currently FW upgrades to industry are useless--why not revamp them a bit in line with these changes?)

Who cares about these arcane grammar 'rules'...?

...Oh, you're just correcting someone who brought it up out of nowhere?

Well then, let me address the former use case: "They are[...]it's still technically correct."

This is also not true. Technically correct use would be use of the 3 dot ellipsis mid-sentence and the 4 dot ellipsis to indicate an omission beginning at the end of a sentence—I like to bracket the ellipsis to indicate that you're using them functionally and not quoting them, following the MLA style, although the other major usage handbooks do not address this.

Now, can we please stop talking about useless grammar that no one even uses...? As Abraham Lincoln famously said: "If I'd saved time by using more ellipses when posting on the Internet, I could have checked up on the veracity of the authorship of various quotes I found there, as well as many other important tasks such as ... and so, the Civil War would have been easily averted."

Really, wouldn't it be ending at the end of a sentence? I often find myself beginning at the beginning of a sentence with them.

Exactly! We were roleplay as researching LAB and we have more than 450 BPOs available to copy for everyone in corp. I'm not going to unlock all BPOs and moving them to the LAB. It will be self destruction for our game. More pvp opportunity? It's ok. But what about others? So many risk. Where is benefits?

So apart from those three things that generate huge incom not even feasible in hisec...along with moon mining and pretty good safety within sov protection null has no advantage???

The freight advantage you speak of in hisec? Move more than 100 mil and you will be ganked. Afk in anything and you are likely to be ganked. Compare that to null where you just said that it's possible to afk the supposedly hardest combat anoms? As for CONCORD? They show up after you've been ganked and looted...big help...

Now i'm not saying hisec is too hard as another poster seemed to think but it has different challenges, and to make money from industry there takes a lot of effort and planning. My point was that there needs to be different dynamics for each security region otherwise they will stagnate and die. It makes sense for hisec to be stable industry, losec to be dangerous borderlands and null to be the equivalent of gold rush heaven for resources.

There need to remain good reason to move between sectors hence my belief that the current hisec manufacturing state is healthy for the game.

Yep. Personally I have not really worried about "how we can survive in summer". My question is "What is the purpose of our surviving?" I have no time for playing EvE every day. We got fun doing some things as researchers whenever we had time. Now it seems easier to end the game than continue playing.

CCP How do i go about getting a refund in SP or Plex for the time/ISK I spent training up loot processing skills that are no longer relevant?

Are you going to dispute that, at present, S&I is massively and overwhlemingly more profitable in hi-sec?
