With the soon to come removal of teams from industry I believe the industry cost index needs to be looked at. Without teams to bring players together there will be nothing in industry to promote group play. It will actually be penalizing to work as a group as your install costs will go up if you work with friends in the same system.

this is a good point index costs were implemented to keep everyone from building in the same system with the top teams however it needs to be lowered not removed.


It was also added because stations no longer had limited slots and they still will after this so there needs to be a reason for everyone not to build in Jita

i havent even used teams yet as i usually find them in very high packed stations where the cost has been increased due to the number of jobs there

They need to do something to encourage group play and discourage from building only in market hubs. The old system worked well because time limit on manufacturing slots made people spread out but didn't hamstring corporations from building out of one system.

The teams work well because to offset the system cost index a corporation can buy a team. Removal of teams without any other balance change discourages all group play. Sad the downfall of teams however is the unfair advantage given to large manufactures working out of a POS in a system without a station.
