The ease at which people can now get into the biggest, non-capitol, freighter is insane. It use to take nearly a months training(almost 25 days) to get into a Iteron V. Now it takes minutes. The Iteron V has the most carrying capacity of the industrial and the market is showing that people are buying them up in favor of the other races industrial due to ease at getting into them and their size.

Will CCP rework racial industrial so that they are all viable again?

Fine - I fixed it. P Semantics...they are basically a freighter to haul things - mostly. The question still stands though.

If you can't appreciate the value of a Viator or a Crane then there really isn't much I can say to make it clear.

of course it's right, fozzy has said at least once if not more times that the rebalance is an ongoing process.

it was stated at Fanfest and even in the suggestion forum threads about it. CCP will rebalance industrials the same manner as they did with mining ships.

how are they gonna do it taking in account that Caldari and Amarr only have 2 T1 industrials, and Gallente have 5 of them is still to be announced. i hope we get this info soon.

theres a thread in I think the features discussion that's been ongoing for a while about industrial rebalancing.

I am, but it's not even "me" that's right. Look at the URL.

CCP posted that. P

If I'm not mistaken, Industrials are next up on the chop...*ahem* - rebalancing block.

(Sorry, got carried away by the fact that the Iteron looks like a sausage.)

Well then...CCP should look at this post as a "we are watching you", about re-balancing Industrials. Blink

I was training Gallente Industrial to 4 during the patch and didn't even know the indy ships were getting lessened skill requirements. I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in and learned that. Bought an Itty Mark V soon after.

It's sad, though. The time taken to train the skills for many ships that are later rebalanced can never be gotten back no matter what CCP does.

Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of not knowing. http://www.di.fm/spacemusic

Not my place to do that. I pay CCP to make this game. I hope they are intelligent enough to find a solution( I believe they are) I just wanted to point out that Industrials are all mucked up since the release of Odyssey. Bear
