The next in our line of Industry-focused dev blogs for the summer release takes a look at Industry Work Teams. These teams will become important parts of the new system, determining how efficient your industry works. Learn all about how to recruit and exploit these work teams in the newest dev blog from CCP SoniClover.

First again, looks like the last one is finally here.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

ooo oo o o o o ooooooo

Edit:

So to be clear... A system can have any number of "Teams"? and these are drawn from a global pool?

Hmmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this and the job instillation cost changes. They give the vibe they are nothing more than elaborate isk sinks.

It sounds like a reasonable idea but I'm concerned that most of the teams will end up in the same few systems because of the concentration of industry happening there and the easier spread of costs.

I do like the idea of team creation being a PI activity.

How many teams can be active in a system at once? How many active over the whole of New Eden? How often do they "spawn"?

EDIT: This all feels a little too dynamic. Industry doesn't like moving around so it wouldn't surprise me if we ended up with a mostly similar cost for building the same thing, be it in a busy or empty system.

mm.. from farming animals in PI to humans m... slave trading Evil

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

And I thought teams would be a way to pool my alts so that I don't have to log in another character to start jobs :D


I need to get some math running and I need to know a bit more about the seeding and likelyness of actually finding a good team, however, this looks like an interesting addition.

One more thing: NPC seeding is always boring. Fix that ASAP.

There is no limit to the number of teams a system can have. There is no limit to how many jobs the team can be used on (either in parallel or in sequence). The pool is global.

Is there a minimum markup when bidding on a team?
And if so is it % or fixed value?

The total number of teams is determined by how fast they are seeded. We will adjust this number based on usage and on how many different teams we have (for instance the seeding will speed up when we add invention teams). Currently it is around six teams per hour.

So, how many teams will be seeded onto the global market? That is going to be quite an important variable.

Also I am not sure about this minimum bid system based upon distance from the team, I don't see how that will serve any purpose.

Overall, I very much like the team system though. Sounds interesting.

Also I would consider teams lasting more than a month, I think 3 months would be more suitable. 1 month is nothing when you are making even short term industry decisions.

The minimum is based on the distance between the team's home system and the system you're bidding for. The current numbers are 10,000 ISK per jump (this is easily adjustable).

I was more thinking about outbidding each other, don't want it to turn into a 0.01 isk war.

I guess since teams can be used for POS/wormhole work, they can be summoned in systems where there isn't a station service for their respective specialty?

Oh man. All these additional variable costs. My spreadsheets are going to need some serious love.

4 weeks may be too short. That's the number we're working with right now, but it can be adjusted of course if the need arises. We have to be mindful of several different things here, for instance the longer a team stays in a system the more people will be compelled to move to that system and we are wary of encouraging nomadic behavior too much.
