It's taken me years to get my data core production skills and npc standings to the point that it actually generates a usable amount of game money. I'll never get rich from it but it's one of the only ways that those of us with limited playing time can make isk (without spending even more money on plex).

Without it I will have no game money income and therefore no reason to keep playing. So if you value my subscription fees please don't fix what ain't broken.

Well the best think I can think is if they put said skills into your research chance or attributes to T2 bpc research. Skills and faction allow for better results or success during invention.

I hear there's good money in the manufacture and sale of buggy whips.

Being completely ignorant here. I don't do manufacturing and research, and so whatever they're doing can only be ok with me.

Thumbs up! Smile

Pro-tip: They are not removing the system, just adding a tax to gain the datacore. No more "free" generation, you pay something like 10k isk which disseapers in from EVE and the 10k isk taken from you is added back to the price (if data core was 100k, think of the price raising to 120k).

This is all suppisition, as far as I have heard CCP isn't doing anything to change the system but add a tax very much like they did with PI, then POCO, then doubling the tax in highsec.

That sounds good to me, moar ISK sinks!
Pass the cost on to the customer, make almost as much ISK.

Given they are removing drone alloy drops and adding bounties, they have to do something to balance out that added ISK faucet (and reduced mineral faucet, the two together will drive prices higher)

This is what I've gathered from checking the few sources of info on this there are, it will simply mean a lower profit margin, though prices of datacores may rise in accordance with this added tax. Just think of them as being like LP store items where you pay a certain amount as well as the LP.

What is this referring to?
Was there any changes to datacores announced? If so, where is the source?
