I guess my only continuing gripe is the ongoing attempts tp band aid industry with resource changes, instead of trying to fix the sod-awful UI and mechanics. BUT that is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, personally.
Well, I will upgrade it to a major complaint in the grade scheme of things, personally. Its were I spend most of my time.
The ore changes are a band-aid for a side-effect of mineral compression and what I see as a player behavior (unwillingness to mine in belts in 0.0).
The T2 component changes and complex material additions are attempts to limit bottlenecks created by a lack of distributed moon sources and large, capable player organizations. Every T2 component
already had a low-end racial material (the Carbides, Carbonide), so adding these high-ends to the most used/most expensive components is shaking up an already complex system. I doubt think it will stop Platinum Technite (Nanotransistors and Fullerides) from being an overall bottleneck.
Can one of you indy hounds elaborate on what the changes mean?
The T2 component changes and new complex materials means that Microprocessors and Capacitors will probably see a spike. These two components are broadly used across T2
module production as well as ship production. The need to use as yet unavailable materials to produce Microprocessors and Capacitors immediately following release will create a lag in production.
Anyone using large quantities of reactors can likely purchase sufficient stores to wait out the markets reaction to the 4 new materials - they currently sell in Jita for less than the material cost.
As the spike in MPs and Caps occurs, there maybe a dip in Morphite demand - if it is to expensive to buy MPs and Caps for producing T2 stuff, I don't need the Morphite.
The mineral changes will impact null more and we may see a decrease in
hub demand
for common, compressed goods in the long term. But the lag will be enormous since most production occurs in high-sec for a variety of reasons, chiefly security of BP libraries and ease of access to large material markets and the ability to sell excess quickly.
