EVE Information Portal

Okay I admit defeat,

I have no rational explanation as to why I feel like my posterior has been ripped apart and violated by someones avatar.

So far post Crius (an Ocean) I have done the following,

1. Pulled down 7 Indy POS, (nobody uses them anymore, bar me) - Massive Fuel Savings there

2. Consolodated into one POS where I can now do everything I want

3. Attempted to motivate myself to do something (none too successful here)

The haphazard and issue infested state of the release is beyond a joke, I still have a serious problem believing it was delayed for 'polishing it', WTF did you use ? Explosives ?

I had a small run of 2030 x 425mm Railgun II all ready to be built pre Crius, Post Crius it is completely screwed.

1. I cannot do a 2030 run build,
a, POS can handle a larger run but hasn't got the staorage capacity to build it.
b, Station has the capacity but reduced Maximum run.

2. Materials for the Build are increased/decreased/WTF all over the place
a, Robotics, 18,270 Increased to 25,984
b, Morphite, 46,690 Increased to 70,441
c, Superconductor Rails, 34,510 Increased to 66,787
d, R.A.M. Weapon Tech (really deserves its own special section)

3. R.A.M. Weapon Tech, 1380 Incresed to 2030, however there is a kicker
a, The 1380 original R.A.M. was actually 1380.4, equating to 138,040 of the new R.A.M.
b, So it now reading a reduction not an increase 138,040 down to 2030,
c, I now have a SPARE 136,010 that I don't need

I now find myself in the enviable position of having hundreds of thousands of various R.A.M.

Changing Industry was always going to be a Mammoth task,

Why are we being subjected to the cluster that it is now ?

Out of the 90 ish slots I can run, I am currently using a whole TWO ! (even that affects the system index)

I intend to have a break and jet off on holiday for a couple of weeks,

On return along with the flying pigs things may even seem better

Why you choose to remove the PI interface from industry and then make it yet another ui ... lame.

Hiding it and making it an undocumented feature: Priceless.

Since most bugs are finally dealt with, I can now say: Great job!

Honestly, industry in Eve really needed this upgrade. The old "thing" (I don't want to call that horrible mess an UI) made my hand hurt, so many clicks I had to do.

The new UI is great, I now finally can use up R.A.M.s without doing stupid fractional calculations to find out how many are left when item X need 3 but damages them 75% of the time and item y needs 2 but damages them 45% of the time. Man, that was stupid.

Really, this entire mini-expansion finally killed off a lot of stupid in industry (the blueprint changes are another great thing) and finally motivated me to upgrade my little small POS to a medium one.

Also I planned ahead and planted my new medium POS in a system with zero industry index and almost no other moons. So even if other people come to the same system, the industry index won't go up by much.

Planning: Resolves many issues before they can ever rear their ugly head.

Except its not faction standing that impacts refining, its NPC corp standings.

OK, so SI index cost is HUGE, thus driving all industry now - .01 SI delta is larger than any other tax/bonii influence.

This drives ppl to more POS industry instead of stations (SI index is HIGH in systems with MFG & esp. RES stations, and no more corp offices avail in RES stations anyway, plenty of SI 0.00 in null & losec, low-pop hisec has 0.01 SI systems)

Yet, there is no effective way (no permissions mgt outside of using a Solo corp) to really manage corp BPO sharing at a POS?

So basically our choices are to go solo corp POS (low pop-hisec, losec, or nullsec)? Or Nullsec outpost?

So much for encouraging group play ... "we want to encourage group play -> your choice is to either play by yourself in hisec, or go join one of only two existing Nullsec/Losec power blocs (if you use a POS you'll still need a solo corp tho at least a large power bloc can help you defend your POS and recover BPO's if it gets reinforced) and play the nullsec/losec apex power projection stalegame".... ?

I've seen three responses from you that are not either questions, or answers. Are you some CCP's alt?

My Crius feedback, I hate it. Implementation is ganked, premise is stupid, overall it is reaming of the community's rear.... again

I'm just waiting on the survey you get when you don't renew an account (Hopefully I'll get one for each of my accounts ), I'll have some very interesting feedback for CCP in a venue they actually may pay attention.

I already found an alternative to CCP's DUST514 product, not much in the way of any Eve replacements yet so it is hiatus for now and no $$$ for CCP until they fix the parts they should known where stupid to change in first place (let us not forget the over abundance of bugs with the release as well)

Too bad, already bought the collector's box thing (on preorder even) had 1 quarterly renewed account and generally bought 3 to 6 PLEX a month. So pfft =P

Remember that they are an Ammarrian role play group, and Amarr never get their hands dirty when there are slaves around to do it for them.

Technically not crius, but as it's THE industry expansion and everything should be consistent, you missed an opportunity:

The Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II is a variation of the Strip Miner I and is invented from Strip Miner I. Unlike every other T2 module or ship, which requires the parent type, it requires a Deep Core Miner I to manufacter.

I think your long standing miner should reconsider for a moment: Before Crius, what was the Trit content of 1 unit of Veldspar? 333 units of Trit IIRC. So his loss actually is just 15, compared to pre-Crius, or something like 4 %. Which can be accounted for by not having Veldspar Processing to 5, and not using the very best facility possible, I think. And both of these changes did actually get announced. At least in that respect, I don't think miners have actually been too badly screwed.

But...
