What are fuel blocks and what are they used for? What is Aurum? What does the hardwiring do?

Sorry, I'm new and have no clue what to choose.


fuel blocks are what will be fueling POS starting in January
you will make them from the normal fuel with a blueprint in manufacturing queues

1 block = 1 day fuel

Aurum is crap fake mony you can buy with real money or PLEX (at an ungodly bad rate of exchange) so you can buy digital clothing for your character

hardwiring are implants that boost your attributes and or skills at certain things

    My posterior is fine, but thanks for your concern. I'm guessing you have extensive experience with sphincters, probably not related to medical examinations either.

    Fuels blocks are the new fuel for POS's (Player Owned Structures), and Aurum is the currency used in the NeX store to buy useless crap that people will never see (except for the goggles and monocle in your avatar). Read the stats on the implant to see what it does.

    Choose the Med or larger ammo types... :)

    Almost. 40 blocks = 1 hour of fuel. It's about 1 day of fuel.

    Well I've got the remaps coming up from last year in January - so I've selected remaps on both of my main characters so come January I'll have two on each.

    The third is still up in the air, maybe the BPO set.

    Fuel blocks are the new form of pos fuel, CCP's package is pretty meh because it's only 1 day's worth for a large tower.

    Personally, I think giving out stuff that already is available on the market from players leads down a really slippery slope. I have no problem with aurum, remaps and the unique implants/boosters/ships. But players already supply faction ammo, ships, regular implants and boosters, and this kind of screws them over.

    Am I the only one to feel this way? I'm referring to the uproar when CCP planned to spawn ships from thin air in the Incarna NEX store. Cunningly veiled initiative from CCP to guage acceptance of selling actual ingame intems in NEX store?



    its one time consumables, big woop

    permanent items in the nex is different.

    crying over a million in faction ammo for christmas is just the pinnacle of greedy fucknutness

    Just out of curiosity - does the remap stack with the three available ones I still have? Two of my main accounts still have three available as I never remapped them and don't plan to, as I can't get charisma that low again after a remap. So will I have four then?

    Other than that: Pretty poor decision - clearly showing eve is on sellout mode - no big deal for me, as I never invested in presents, but I always kept them because I figuered that they'd be limited supply and would be worth more in 5 years. Obviously, the devs themselves believe eve is not going to be around for that long anymore...

    it's 4 days. unfortunatly for 4 different towers. (medium towers get double. small get four times.) As it's 1000 blocks, per faction type.

    10 blocks an hour for the small. 20 per hour for medium. 40 per hour for large.


    You can probably recycle them for the materials though.

    Woo! CSM XI!

    You can put them up on market for ISK, or exchange them via contract for the specific fuel blocks you need for your own POS tower.

    The earlier you get learning implants, the better. But pay attention to post#5 in this link

    Maybe you can get some other stuff, sell it, buy the implants and have some leftover ISK on top but it's a risk, you decide (hint: it's fuel blocks)
