EVE General Discussion

What's up with the huge range and diminishing returns with skill injectors? 5million to 50million lmao! Why not a better teir system with the rate of return based on every 10-20 million SP or somethin?

I mean, I've never been a huge fan of the injectors, but I said that as well back then. Could have made it work like the falloff curve, and I can't imagine this being too difficult to implement either, where the effect diminishes only very slightly in the beginning, then drops in an almost linear fashion beyond a certain point, and then slowly flattens again as it approaches zero near the end of the scale. The actual "falloff range" could be based on the average SP/character on the server, so the system would scale better depending on how many "Newbies" there are that may want to catch up and adapt to the addition or removal of skills to the game that would affect the SP cap.

hmmm ok.

But anyways, yea I agree the SP brackets between 5-50million should be bracketed a little better.

I mean, your like, old, eh?

Like I can dig it

Has something to do with:

1. We accumulate 20 million skillpoints / year.

2. Depending on how you (don't) specialize, it can take: 1 year to futz around, 1 year for support skills, 1 year for T2 weapons + T2 ships, 1 year for the prerequisites for capital ships, 1 year for the capital ship skills, 1 year for T2 weapons/mods/defenses for said capital ships. So the point breaks are at 20 million, 40 million, 60 million, 80 million etc. skill points.

3. Unlocking ships and weapons is, maybe, fun. Training the necessary support skills so you can get much needed +5% here, +5% there, but no new ships and no new abilities (from new modules), is NOT fun.

4. So 5 million SP gets you a trading + PI alt. Spend 6 PLEX, get 10 injectors, done, alt can trade on the market and make some side income.

5. 50 million SP covers the dreaded "train your support skills" phase. 60 PLEX, $1,200, if you have it, you can skip past the boring first 2 years where you're just +5%'ing everything.

6. After that, they wanted people to have to spend the time to get the larger T2 ships and the capital ships at the same slow rate as everyone else, so the returns are super-diminishing.

Hope that answers your question.

I'm confused, is it "way more" annoying or more annoying? And possibly add a period after Mr

Are you SURE you're not American? You sure sound American.....

It's meant to have Skill Injectors be broadly useful to a large chunk of the playerbase and retain value, but not a great way of boosting up very old characters who already fly, for example, multiple race's Titans. Hence the large range at the start and then the steeper drop off at the end.

Hey Mr !

I was a hippie back in the day and had a great time going to concerts and festivals - Led Zeppelin, December 8 1971 was the best concert I ever went to - and I have been a Rolling Stones fan since 1964.

And, like, hey man, was a far-out term to use when I was young.
