Unless of course you have a small or medium tower, in which case it makes sense to use fuel blocks ASAP.

Trying to grasp the new POS fuel block concept.

I run a reasonably tight POS and offline modules when not in use, to save POS fuel.
Currently operating at about 40% of power grid, and 60% of CPU.

If I understand the new mechanics properly, my operating costs are going up significantly since the new fuel block system assumes I am running at 100% grid and 100% CPU all the time.

Is that accurate? Please tell me I am wrong.



You are Wrongfuly correct.

And correctfully wrong at the same time...

Hay everyone, it turns out that this fuel block thing is going in with the summer expansion instead. Don't worry about fuel blocks for now. I have it under good authority there will not be a switchover for several months.



Thanks for the wonderful help there.
Your wit is so sharp I cut myself reading it.

And yeah, try to convince people that the fuel block system is delayed so people are unprepared so speculators take advantage of them.

No we're supposed to be able to start shoving the new blocks in so when it does swap over the POS doesnt offline. Currently the POS isnt accepting the 50/50 fueling.

So any idea on what the schedule for the "slopover" is really?

I need to know so I can schedule our own operations.

I've got some 30 towers to deal with.. and not a lot of time to do it during this holiday season.

I thought I would be putting in fuel blocks (1 weeks worth) starting TODAY to handle the "slopover" whenever that occurs.
But I can't put them in. With over 30 towers and 15 pos-fueler personnel to manage.. and holiday schedule to deal with.. this is fairly high on my priority list. (but not very high on my FUN list... *grrr CCP*)

And how much of our months and months of pos-fuel should be converted to blocks?
do I have time to research to 0% waste or should I start burning fuel to build blocks *now now now*


Where's the dates?

And what about pos-details API.. is it going to be updated to show fuel-blocks at the time we are able to start dropping them in preparing for the "Slopover" ? Even though it is not burning them yet. Need some sort of system to ensure all towers are partially fueled before the "Slopover" after all.

What are the chances of getting some answers CCP? This is really getting tiring.
