Improving the UI is a good idea. Drastically changing how everything works all at once NOT A GOOD IDEA
High Sec Industry will die a horrible death along with subscription numbers shortly afterwards

Considering that you seem to be breaking everything now, in the not targeted " long-standing historical issues" fix. I am curious as to what you consider a balanced hisec and nullsec industry.
By far it seems that this entire patch is aimed at making nullsec industry viable, while making hisec worse off then it currently is. I haven't seen anything to indicate that this feeling is wrong, either in dev blogs or in any of the changes that you have proposed.
The only thing that i can think of that affects hisec and not nullsec is the standings requirements changes for planting POS towers, which is a pretty questionable change in its own right.

What am i missing that this isnt a buff nullsec nerf hisec "expansion"

It is a well known fact that back in 1860, industry was far better and more developed in Colorado than in New York. Thus it makes all the sense in the world that 20% of New Eden's population gets better industry in the lawless wasteland of nullsec than what can aspire the 60% dwelling in the civilized core of New Eden.

Not that it matters much now, but your company is leaving a few serious "Jesuschrist, they did what?" moments for anyone interested to study the history of EVE Online.

I think you refer to the better Refining Modules which will be availible in 0.0, yes?
I think compared to the Roqual this is only a small ease to 0.0 indu Op, as we see today. But I have No Idea how 0.0 Indu Operation works. I just know they build mainly cap sized ships.

I have a good feeling about the upcomming patch. There is a break I admit this. Indu operation after the patch will differ from operation ways we do today. However it gives me and my people a lot of options to react on the market. And this I like a lot.
We are already working not to be only produceing one Product but a bigger viarity. In this we Profit from the changes made in reasearch area, beeing able to adjust my production in future in my core operation when marcet calls for it. I think we will be partly more flexibel cancerning where we produce something in a small scale.

In the beginning when I read the plenned chances, I was quite worried about the upcomming of true economic wars, with stragetic goals behind it, but currently I think that as long as the major Indu operation are worked by carebears this is thread is quite minimal, and we will see in future wars in the style we see todays High sec wars.

I also as a high sec Capsuler dont see currently 0.0 to Highsec or Low Sec to Highsec inbalance as my biggest problems. As long as I hear that fellow miners in 0.0 can mine 40 Million within an hour and only small risks involved the 0.0 is way off balanced to high in cometition then all changes introduced in the indu patch. And I still can do my business, so why care?

And Last but not least, most stuff is build in high. I would not forget that. And the reason is not the higher Profit. I think it is the low Risks involved. Still I have concerned for the future.

May biggest concern are gankers. I am not going to repeat what I try to explain in the Carebear vs Ganker Troll thread (which no one was interested in btw.) And it is for sure, not crying about gankers. But I think ganking is not well balanced gameplay today, and we lack instruments to react on gankers.

You missed the message. I dont believe ganking disrupts global market stability. Something most people try to claim.
I think ganking is an issue on personal level. The hole execution is a single sided game. It is not realy a mouse and cat catching game. Which imho ganking should be.
However, I do not think this should be topic that hijacts within this newsletter. This topic is heated discussed already. And it should stay there. A lot of people fear to loose their pretty hobby, and the topic is not that game breaking that I believe we need a fix tomorow. However I whished bounty on a head and Kill rights could be merged. It would be cool to have a true market for bountyhunters. I think that would be fun for everyone exept the pussies who do ganking because they are no good in real pvp. But let them cry.

I refer to module refining yes, but mostly to any change that affects hisec and not nullsec. Module Refining affects both.
To be honest, i find it a little frustrating and a bit confusing that because you have no idea how the industry changes will affect you and change pretty everything you dont understand about industry, to something that's even more complicated to understand, but are excited about it anyways.
The rest of your post is "special" and doesn't make any sense. Please repost it after a bit of editing so that you dont simply ramble on about things you dont understand and jump from subject to subject that are not intrinsic parts of this dev blog or relevant to the discussion.

"but currently I think that as long as the major Indu operation are worked by carebears this is thread is quite minimal,"

This is an interesting statement but it is interesting to note that "major indus operation carebears" are commenting in this and the other industry threads about how bad these changes are going to be, at least those that reside in hisec. Nullsec industry people are, understandably so, thrilled about most of the changes as it gives them a fairly major boost in manufacturing. A major infrastructure boost even before you begin to factor "Teams" into the equations. along with old and some newer resource boosts, this patch is simply a buff to nullsec.

However it does not address the majority of issues concerning actual manufacturing, research corporations, POS or general nullsec stagnation. Which is sad.

By modularisation I think he would be refering to a software engineering approach that many developers think they use whilst in reality many bend the rules to the extent that the benefts become impossible to realise which is probably why it needs doing.
Essentially you make the inner workings of the program into components(modules) with specific purposes - you could think of them as being programs within a program, they are self contained units with a well defined interfaces - all they do is answer predefined questions with answers that are within predefined restrictions.
Typically it looks something like
UI
___ |
___ |
___ |
___ |
DB
Along each horizontal line sits components and each component can only have a dependancy on the interface of the component(s) in the row immediately below it and no dependancy on any row above it. Components on a row can have dependancies on their neighbours which is a necessary allowance rather than ideal. The verticle line is the exception as some utility type functions of the applicaiton will need to span the entire heirachy although it would still to some extent respect the horizontal divisions. No component lets any other component know how it works.
By doing that you end up with a program that (depending on technology) can do cool things like be patched whilst it is running although the main gain is through ease of use when bug fixing or expanding or prodding it with a stick in general. It can create horrendously inefficient software and is difficult to apply which is why it is not always strictly followed.
There is a lot more to it so that is an exceedingly rough guide that a school child could write better, there are some fantastically detailed books, papers and articles that I reccomend no one ever reads unless someone is at least threatening to kill you in an imaginative but slow way.
From what I have read of the problems with POS code it has dependancies in such a way as to more closely resemble the scribbling of a two year old on red bull with a large box of crayons.


The changes we get to see are different to modularisation with is a fairly abstract thing we shouldnt directly notice. We are seeing gameplay re-design and I agree with your sentiment that there probably would be less complaint if the same changes were introduced but over a longer period of time. It does seem to fail to take advantage of having more regular releases if as much as possible is still rammed into a single release as if there is no tomorrow.

Apologies for the revenant, but I think slowly.

An important word in the dev blog is "scale".

Alas, EvE industry is fabulously productive.

It is very easy to saturate markets and build up huge inventories.

In fact, because of existing inventory. some markets
can take *years* to work through a change.

CCP needs to be very careful about encouraging players to be large scale industrialists.

They won't all fit.

That is why I tend towards being an artisan industrialist. Making the stuff I use.
Not only are the materials better than free, but I have a guaranteed market.

Big changes,"scale".Bollox,thats what it all is.After a break over the summer I return to find manufacturing costs have gone through the roof.As a tiny scale industrialist playing for fun,industry has been wiped off the map.Theres not enough profit now.PI has been shafted as well.Corp customs stations mean enormous tax revenues in some areas.Pi has halted in many areas.And no I'm not upping sticks and shuffling to lo-sec to do pi.I just stop altogether.
