EVE General Discussion

Hello

Last night i was planning to set my POS up and looking to get some fuel blocks for theswitch over. I have a small POS so it doesnt cost me that much with current prices and current methods of fueling.

I then looked at how many fuel blocks i wud need to fuel my pos for a week. Then did a pri9ce check on how much it was.

It worked out to fuel 1 small amarr pos it costs 280 mill a week!
I worked out then that 1 large pos wud cost near enuf a bill to fuel for a week.

THis is a real rip off.

To fuel one small os for an hour atm u use 1 robotics. With new methods it costs ya 10 Robotics to fuel for an hour.

This is really a stupid way to fuel a pos. With the prices of them sov holders are not going to be able to make enough money to suffice all the pos's they have.

I think they should be run like this

1 Small amarr control tower needs 1 fuel block
1 Medium amarr control tower needs 2 fuel block
1 Large amarr control tower needs 3 fuel block

This would make a lot more sense and p[eoplewould be able to actually AFFORD it.

What do u all think

You do realize fuel blocks on market are currently overpriced due to speculators?

If you were to make the fuel blocks YOURSELF, you will find it only costs ~200mil for a medium tower and half of that for a small.

Edit: I just took a look at the blueprints....

1 run of the blueprint produces
40 fuel blocks
which is
1 hour for a large tower
2 hours for a medium tower
4 hours for a small tower

to produce that 1 RUN it only requires(gallente case but nearly all are identical except for isotopes)
Heavy Water 150
Liquid Ozone 150
Oxygen Isotopes 400
Oxygen 20
Coolant 8
Enriched Uranium 4
Mechanical Parts 4
Robotics 1

Nowhere is there 10 Robotics to produce 1 hour of fuel.

Please fudging check your math before whining that htis game is hard and unfair.


By the way, your english teacher called, you FAILED.

I'm gonna guess that you didn't factor in that the blueprints were changed to produce 10x as many blocks (so that reductions for faction towers and stuff could be applied more easily). I haven't touched a control tower in a while, but your fuel costs should be similar before and after this change.

No, it costs 1/4 Robotics per hour with the new system for a small pos, 2/4 Robotics for med pos and 1 for a large pos.
Assuming fuel blocks cost 16.000(Currently cost 15.444,92 isk in Amarr), that would work out at about 115M for 30 days for a small pos, 230M for a med one, and 460M for a large one in fuel blocks.

(Cost=Days*hours*pos size*Fuel block price)
(111.2M=30*24*10*15.444,92)<- for a small Amarr pos.

If they are selling for allot more near you, you could consider making them your self, or hauling the from somewhere where they are not that expensive.



The 10 for small, 20 for med and 40 for large pos was done so faction towers could keep their fuel bonus if i'm not mistaken.

The only way the new system is making you pay more is if you didnt use 100% of the CPU and PG for your tower

No, he probably means because your grammar is correct, lets face it, most americans wouldn't know what grammar was if it beat them in the face with a stick ;)

The rest of the world would **** itself if America said "**** You".

The irony being, in the time it took you to type that last line (which has a grammatical error by the way) you could have gone back to fix the spelling mistakes.

It's ok to be honest. Just say you are too lazy to bother.

1. Start doing PI
2. Buy ice products
3. Make fuel blocks
4. ???
5. Profit

A lot of people are giving the OP a 0/10 on troll factor. I think this is going to atleast hit 5 pages so imo that solidly puts this on 5/10 for troll factor because what guys isn't going to go WFT for someone not wanting some dancing in the game heck even SW:TOR has some.
