No, you mean YOU don't accept risk. You should be prepared to be outcompeted by those who do.



So, join goonswarm where 3000 blues have your back, so I can oput compete those that don't have 3000 other players watching their back...

Spoken like a true goon.


CCP, seriously.... we're not all goons! Stop listening the their ideas that make the goons more profitable and drive everyone else out of the game.

This change to BPOs is just STUPID!

BPOs don't change in the slightest.

Liking very much what I've seen so far. Having everything I need to select or press on a single window, however big it becomes, instead of having to press buttons to open yet more windows (like selecting the factory slot) is a huge step in the right direction

You keep using that word.
As long as you keep using it, you will be inherently wrong.

Top tip: stop saying “we” when you mean “I”.



Then why did CCP, in the blog where they announced the change, admit that no one is going to be puttiing 100 million+ ISK BPOs into POS?

I can't imagine that they actually thought this through, including the risk of corp theft from not being able to lock-down, and the ramifications of the total annoyance that is going to come from alt-corps that do nothing other than make BPCs.


Whoooo hoooo... fun game. Log in the alt, start a bunch of copies. Take the copies out. Create cotrract.

Talk about extra mindless mouse clicks with no game-play value.

Good news: there are other BPOs.

Sounds like they thought it through fairly well: you can risk it or you can do the extra work. Two options as opposed to none. You have to choose which is worth more to you.

No. It's just sloppiness and bad argumentation on your part.

CCP wants all ISK making activities to have an inherent amount of risk attached to it. In Industry they decided to create that risk by making blueprints have to be in the factory and not in some station under lock down.

Do I agree with it, NO, but I can understand why they would do that, even if I really really hate it.


Then CCP is doomed to fail, because we do not accept risk. We accept lower profit to avoid risk, until the profit becomes too low, then we move back to high sec.

If CCP wants everyone in high sec, then they are on the right track. Just keep putting more hoops for null sec industrialists to have to jump though to stay safe.

This idea they can get us to accept significant risk is beyond ridiculous.


They need to stop listening to GOONS, have 3000 pilots online at any time. Their POV is NOT the POV of the other 30,000 pilots.


Please, post with your main.

Or did Dinsdale get banned, and subsequently drunk? That would explain your utterly terrible posting.

So....from the looks of it, i'll be able to see a maximum of 9 (NINE) blueprints at any given time on your attempt to push the Unified Inventory's "one window to replace them all" mentality. Is this correct?

If so, i ask that you re-think that idea, it just seems horrible.

Also, once this comes out on the test server, PLEASE for the love of all that is good in this world LISTEN to the ppl giving you feedback. Though i will not likely waste my time given that CCP basically said they didn't believe any of the players feedback for two whole months, about the Unified Inventory (more or less the same thing, but this is your attempt to do it with Industry).

At first glance the new UI seems more complicated and not user friendly. I will have to read it again a few times. Smile

Is there maybe an option to add minigame to the industry window, teams could be more efficient if you will point them many things as a overseer and in 10 minutes span you could take a look what they are doing and shout: "get back to work!" if they are drinking coffe or chatting.

Or maybe developing new, optimized code will be apropriate one time per job in the beginning. Logic minigame.

These things would then improve time and efficiency of the instalation even further.

one feature that i know me (and others) have been asking for in the past.

What about bulk-creating-jobs?

when i have 10 Scorch M BPC, then doing the same clicking (well i guess dragging now) etc 10 times is *extremly* annoying, so can we please have an option to clone jobs? can this dragging, clicking thing please be a template, and we can create 10 jobs without doing the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

regards,
PP


The idea is that the system will remember all settings for a blueprint, so if you set up 1 Scorch M BPC, all subsequent blueprints of this type will default to the last submitted job settings.

So you set up the first blueprint, then just hit submit on the subsequent BPCs because everything is set to go.


Maybe make a right click menu option to force this from the menu ;)...

As a t2 manufacturer I can say this is impressive progress from the current indy, however

You're missing some VERY important things:

- the ability to stack or batch run multiple BPCs of the same type.

- Queuing jobs up to 24 or 48 hours. (there is nothing like having to put new jobs every 1h 40 mins for those t2 small items)

- Seeing the total materials missing for components (think t2 bs construction. need 1k engines and 2k sensors, what are the total mats i am missing for those?)

- Saving Job Plans

- Make Job Plans updatable. (say you decide to build 3 kronos, over the next days you bought 1k sensors but acquired new t2 mats, what do you need now?)

- Automatic component job installation! This is something that you CCP said were interested in doing!

- Need more corp hangar divisions!

- New pos modules for large operations, with large numbers of slots.

- unified pos hangars, so that all facilities can be operated from 1 storage hangar instead of having to search through 20 labs for that BPC.

- Security issues for indy corps

I don't like that you call 'Volume' what should be 'Quantity' on this one http://content.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66065/1/Blueprints_ShowInfo_Industry.png

It is misleading.

You hide too. You hide in goonswarm. Come out and try being in a ten man corp with 30 total toons.

30? Blob moar. Also, post in the other thread since your whinging has nothing to do with the UI.

on balance they look like nice changes, we might even see the cost of some T2 stuff falling which might be welcome. we'll have to wait and see I suppose, but the new user interfaces look serviceable, functional and fun, so well done CCP.

Btw, where has the potential Profit part gone in your current final draft? That was something, which could really make the industry window a lot more informative about whether something is worth producing or not - without checking on 3rd party websites or personal spreadsheets. If would of course just give a rough value for the current region you produce in (which limits the usefulness if you don't produce in the region you want to sell your stuff in, naturally; unless you can set a specific sell place for the calculations), but at least you had an indicator on whether it's profitable at all or not.

It would be awful nice not to require 3rd party spread sheets just to determine the production cost of something you're making. It'd make the system much more friendly to casual players

I hope they don't fall even further. It's already pointless to produce many HAC, Logi are hard, Cov Ops borderline and Command Ships completely pointless.
