Anyone up for another Jita revolt? Shoot the monument till CCP blows it up some more....

Not sure if this is a known issue or it has been changed like this intentionally. As of this moment the estimated price for many commodity items have disapeared (as "unavailable" when the tooltip appears over the mouse cursor), as if they were contract-only items. They still appear in the marketplace normally anyway...

Material research costs appear to be inconsistent. I had a bunch of 5/5 gang link blueprints pre-patch, and they're now 9/18 as they should be. I also have some 0/0 blueprints. When I put one of my 9/18 blueprints in to research that last level of ME, the job costs ~300k ISK. But when I put in one of my 0/0 jobs for all 10 levels, the job costs ~5.6 million ISK. But 9 levels of ME only cost 2.6 million ISK.

So for a BPO going from 0 to 10, that tenth level costs 3 million ISK. For a BPO going from 9 to 10, the tenth level only costs 300k. What the dealio?

EDIT:

I just ran a series of one-level research jobs, and the total cost for doing one level at a time is LESS than the cost of doing a single batch job for the same number of levels. The time required to run the research is staying the same, but the costs for a long job are, so far, higher by a factor of 10.

simplified it for you

I did a bug report on this but when I went to run ME on a BPO in one station, it ran the ME on a BPC in another station that doesn't have ME and then my BPO has disappeared after it was completed. I logged off after I started and was just thinking it was a UI error but when I logged back on, it was actually pretty fubared.

I only can cite:

[20:05:04] corp member1> and this passes QA?
[20:05:14] corp member2> what did you expect lol

100% agree...

"Use Blueprint" right click menu option does not seem to do anything when used on BPC even when docked in station with suitable Invention or Manufacture facilities. (BPC is NOT in container and subject to that flaw.)

I sort of expected the new Industry and Research window to pop up & allow starting Invention or Manufacture jobs when the station where the BPC is located has such options.

P.S. If the station lacks such facilities I expect a warning message stating that lack at the very least or the Industry window showing the BPC with simply no options available to select.

P.P.S. I do not immediately see another way to select BPCs and start Invention jobs without "Use Blueprint" working as expected. That is any alternative UI means is NOT as intuitive as likely assumed and may depend on prior UI experiences which not everyone has.

Its my assumption that the increase is by design.

First I suspect CCP needs to increase NPC ISK sinks to replace all those NPC products now produced by players. LP stores and BPOs are about the only NPC ISK sinks remaining outside market and NPC Industry fees and taxes. Yet all the old NPC ISK faucets adding ISK into the economy still remain :missions etc. Too much money tends to make prices of big ticket items like PLEX rise. LOL - I for one am grateful CCP has not yet increased market taxes and fees based on Empire wartime economics.

I am sure CCP has other reasons too, though those reasons might be harder to guess. Perhaps CCP feels that T2 (high technology) prices should rise to simulate Empire NPC military demand or restrictions.

Also I am pretty sure CCP blogs said that they want to increase favorability of use of player facilities like POS and outposts. Note all those T2 build and research fees can instead be deducted from POS fuel and operating costs. Run some spreadsheets but I suspect its now actually PROFITABLE to run a pure T2 ship building or invention POS compared to many NPC stations given the right sized tower and ships.

But yeah I knew early on that some industry costs were about to see shocking change. So if change is not a mistake, I think CCP made major mistake in how they marketed the changes as "favoring the individual player". Instead they should have said "the impact may be unpleasant to individuals and old patterns of play but supports EVE's overall long term health and growth in the following ways..." then coughed up specifical why they really made the changes.

I'm fine but the factory slave alts report that the UI says there are no materials available for Manufacturing using Corp blueprints. This is at an NPC station.

If they ignore this and press START the job commences for some items, Components for example, but not for others such as T1 ships.

I checked 1st Division access and we all have it, tried moving the materials into 1st Division no luck.
