After watching the video that Kwark posted earlier, the majority of eve is even more terrible than I previously thought, so your comment means very little.

And yeah, small gang includes triage carriers now. Literally everyone uses them for all the things.

Removing station traffic jams, one slot at a time

Alright, what we listed so far was sweet, but a bit short on meat, like those little chicken wings you get as appetizers in fancy restaurants. Stop beating around the bush and give me the 500gr triple-layered-mutant-hamburger with so much fat its going to reduce my life expectancy by 25%!

Alright, here it is; for summer we are removing all industry slots. We can hear you from here: 'Wait wait, you silly Frenchman, what do you mean removing all industry slots?'

Well its simple, at the moment, to use a blueprint at a station or starbase, you need to install it into a particular slot type. Usually, stations come with a limited amount of those, so once they are all filled up you have to wait quite a bit.

This creates some bottleneck gameplay, encouraging players to move around, use Starbases or just wait. We arent very satisfied with that, especially when we couple it with the ridiculously low NPC prices for installing jobs (that havent been changed since 2003).

So, what we are doing is removing slots altogether and replacing them with a cost scaling system. So now, if you all want to congregate in the same solar system to build things, you can, but the ISK cost required to install the jobs will increase dramatically, removing any hope of profit margin in the first place.

Please note we are not removing installation types however a station that could not handle manufacturing or research will not suddenly be capable of doing so.

As mentioned above however, exact details on job cost scaling will be announced by CCP Greyscale in another blog, so stay tuned for details on that one. In the meantime, rest assured that profit margins are still going to be possible as long as you dont all flock to over-saturated solar systems. Expect costs ranging from 0% to 14% of the base item being produced for the most extreme case.

In my opinion, triage hugely support small gang because you can put 1-2 people into your triage and be able to upengage pretty heavily rather than needing to put anywhere from 4-6 people in guardians to take the same kind of upengagement.
