1. Ice prices rise
2. POS fueling costs go up
3. POS produced products price goes up
4. Everyone is where they were before.

the very idea of someone spending all day tearing down a reactor farm and replacing it makes me all tingly inside

i mean i've made people angry enough to quit the game but i've never inflicted that level of griefing

You guys could switch to Hydrogen Isotopes easily. Cool
There's less amount mined and traded in such and demmand is adequate enough.

I've seen monkeys derive euphoric pleasure from flinging their own poo at other monkeys.

Doesn't change the fact that they're just stupid monkeys.

yes, the monkeys flinging poo may still be monkeys, but it beats being the monkeys on the recieving end of the poo

you see, they're both monkeys, and covered in poo

Thanks for the elaboration. Your first comment was far too nuanced for me...

gallente towers are the wise man's choice for reactor farms for anything but carbides: for carbides, caldari towers are more fuel-efficent without horrendous extra effort from emptying the things every day or two

And you're assuming that people that run reactions are on average "wise enough" to actually use Caldari instead of Gallente towers in large enough numbers to matter ? P
What makes you think people wouldn't rather maintain their carbide POS every month instead of weekly ? ESPECIALLY the "minerals I get from the moon I'm placed on are free therefore worthless" group, moreso if they also are a part of the "POS fuel components I get from my own PI are free therefore worthless" camp ?

The follow-up question set being, why aren't you expanding your "campaign of terror" over in Caldari ice space (and in the Caldari isotopes)? Twisted

for starters because its hilarious seeing everyone in here who bought up caldari isotopes assuming we'd hit them next take a loss

also since most pubbies do not "get" effort-based moneymaking metrics their flawed setups tend more to using caldari towers for fibers, phenolic composites, and fullerides rather than using gallente for carbides

I'm not sure what I enjoy more, making thousands of industrialists suffer, making thousands of miners suffer, or watching the pseudointellectuals in MD bleat about how nothing we're doing is having an impact.

Carry on!

I am pretty sure nobody in here said you are not having an impact.
The only discussion I see is about the sources of impact (trade vs military) and extent of the impact of each source (high/low value, short/long term).

goons know nothing about buying cheap and stacking deep

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Sometimes I get the impression that the Goons are far, far too proud of themselves for, you know, participating in a game like everybody else.

"Dude! Did you see how I moved my rook?! I'm so awesome! I've redefined the game of chess forevah!!"

Bravo. You made some numbers in a database change. Now go start another thread about it.
