Ammo arrays need more storage - FUEL BLOCKS ARE FOR LOSERS

Adding anything to the equation of fueling a POS DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO LESS WORK. (Had to say it, since you idiots think fuel blocks were a good idea). The rest of us play eve because we are CAPABLE OF BASIC MATH. Finding out the robotics was the lowest number when a POS mail came across - wasn't something only Einstein could do, for f*** sake.

Adding fuel blocks - ONLY ADDS ONE PIECE OF WORK TO THE EQUATION.

You can't even produce more than 3 days of fuel blocks in an ammo array at a time because of it's storage. So how in the HELL is that going to be less work for anyone running POSs? I don't have to make the fuel every 2 days.

MORE SPACE FOR AMMO ARRAYS OR YOUR FUEL BLOCK IDEA WILL HIT A ROADBLOCK OF PETITIONS.

Next time you add a god damn feature; try it out? Build some ******* blocks to last a POS one week - YOU F****** CAN'T!!!!!

I build my fuel blocks in npc stations. :P

I don't do all that spreadsheet-building-industry crap so forgive me but


you put fuel in an ammo array?

por que?

Build the fuel blocks in a Component Assembly Array instead... it's capacity is 1 000 000 m3 compared to the modest 150 000 m3 hold in the Ammunition Assembly Array

With the hold of a Comopnent array, you can build fuel blocks to run a large POS for over half a year in one go

or maybe use a component array (IIRC, 10x the space)

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Comp arrays - if that works I maybe more forgiving for this lack of practial testing from CCP when they informed us all to use ammo arrays.

Or you could, buy fuel blocks from some fuel farmer i.e. from someone like the OP

I buy my fuel blocks.

Alternatively, it won't and they'll either buy them off the market, make them in the wormhole or make them in empire and ship them to the wormhole.

OP just got totally owned by clever replies.
I could literally sense the fire in your eyes distinguish where-ever you might be in this world.

How so?

Using a Comp Array that holds 1mill M3? Then storing 10 years worth of fuel in the 18.5mill M3 XL Ship array? If you've got one you've probably got both. Everything onlines before I can fly to within 3kms of it. Yeah such a pain. Roll

ADDING TO THE CAPS LOCK FURY!!!!!!oneoneeleventyONE!!!

Seriously, I just built 2 months's worth of fuel blocks for 2 large towers I have. WTF is your problem? It's just a couple additional steps. Component manufacturing array ftw.

It takes 3 seconds to online a Component Array to make some fuel. Then you can offline it again for a month or so. I made 2 months of fuel for a large in less than 15 hours using 5 unresearched BPO; with P.E. 60 research it could take almost 25% less time.
