EVE Information Portal

Exciting and profitable times are ahead with the changes and improvements of Industry in EVE Online coming this summer!

After the announcement that industry and science slot limitation in New Eden is going to be completely removed, CCP Greyscale explains now that the costs off job installations will be dynamically adjusted. The more you are active in a system (compared to the global average), the higher the job installation cost will become - a more dynamic industry landscape with profitable opportunities and more power to the players is the result.

The new job installation pricing system is fundamental and takes into consideration many things such as Factional Warfare bonus, discounts from having multiple stations in the system, discounts on multiple runs and more.

Please all read CCP Greyscale's latest blog The Price of Change!

Feedback, constructive discussions and comments are most welcome here. Please remember that this is a big step for Industry in New Eden and that your constructive feedback counts and can make a difference!

Again, strap-in!

Can't wait for the final devblog about "teams"

That's going to be a massive ISK sink.

sweet baby jesus. this is more than just a little bit awesome. <3 <3 <3

edit: when can we expect the indu and research modifiers for systems ?

I understand the pricing for manufacturing. However, I do not understand the pricing for research: what's the output price? Could you give us some examples of what it would cost to (a)add a level of ME to a bpo (b)Make copies of that bpo or (c) run an invention job?

Will there be any way to affect the NPC tax amount thanks to standings with either the Faction the owning corp belongs to or with the Corp that owns the station itself (given both these standings affect one of the other npc taxes you pay for an activity in a station and one of these standings affects the other)?

So, it is on purpose that specific systems will be a lot better for building stuff than others?

That will raise office prices in those system by a lot, and people who already have setup in those systems by now will have an advantage over people who would want to get in there. How will that be compensated?

Also, from what i gathered in this post, low-sec will face basically the same values as high sec? so, whats the incentive for using low-sec?


Also, the over-time bonus, when i have two 100 run bpc, and i put them in production one after the other, will it get better bonuses for the bulk, or will the "more runs" thing only be counted per bpc?

you didn't read closely, those are in there.



However, I'm fairly underwhelmed by the manufacturing slot replacement bonus. The reason is that it's exactly the same as the POS bonus: I can spend 60b on a station, or 300m on a pos. I think it's a little absurd that the absolute pinnacle of manufacturing you can aspire to, spend huge amounts of money to create, and have to defend gives you nothing better than a pos one jump from jita. And that's from a hyper-specialized factory: once you do that you've used up nearly all of your outpost upgrade slots and you've only got one tier 1 left (probably offices). I think that bonus should be increased slightly at the high end (i.e. a tier 2 or 3 upgrade should give 2%) or the bonus given to pos should be reduced somewhat.

While people will claim pos are at risk, they're not: pos assembly arrays don't drop anything from a build in progress. Entity alluded to his "20b pos" in another thread, where if it was attacked he'd lose 20b of manufacturing products. But the thing is, if I bothered to find it and kill it, I'd get none of that: the assembly arrays would act like they were empty since between the build being installed and delivered, they are. So nobody will bother attacking pos unless someone's really pissed them off: it'll be purely for griefing and not for profit.

I can't comment on the value of the research upgrade as I don't understand how research is priced, so I don't know if this is valuable or saves me several whole pennies.

I second the need for research / copying examples.

For research upgrades: do both invention and research slots get pooled (so 1x research slot upgrade 1x invention slot upgrade = .81 modifier for both types of jobs) or is it individual (1x and 1x means .9 modifier for both)?
