How or why would these industry changes affect, in a positive way, enjoyable and engaging game play overall ? On the one hand you seem to reduce complexity at the lower end of the industry, catering to prospective industrialists, while adding more at the higher end, which didn’t really need more of it. Rephrased: If one of the goals is to address (super)cap proliferation, why roll out changes that affect all ship building, almost as an alibi ? How does this design tie together with enjoyable game play ? Yes, loaded question. ---

**Question 7** : These changes add a significant number of hoops for industrialists to jump through. They need more materials from a greater number of sources, _and_ need to invest as much as another 11.3 _million_ SP into science-based skills, _just_ to continue to do what they have already been doing. How does that make game-play as an industrialist more engaging and interesting, or is this adding more tedium the industrialist _has_ to do, without adding any new gameplay the industrialist _gets_ to do? ---

Have you considered any means to reward players who actively mine instead of AFK mining? If there was even a clickfest way to keep your mining capability significantly higher I am sure a lot less afk mining would take place. Not some measly 1 % to 5% boost. Gas mining is painfully slow if you want more of it can you make it faster to do? ---

Why are you trying to force these upgrades on current ships, surely just adding new BPO’s for these enhanced T1 BS’s etc would give a choice to build them or not. Why not use the carrot method for a change rather than as always using the stick (Because pissing off your players is not a good business model) Yes I know it would be slower but if the ships have a higher profit margin then people will build them and player’s will buy them if the ships are better against Trig ships so you have the demand vs supply. That is a win win situation. The new BPO’s could just require a T1 BS as part of the build requirements ! Simple and keeps everyone happy ! ---

Can you increase the time before expiration in a combat site until asteroids vanish? It would be great to clean combat targets from a site and have time to warp out and return in a mining fit ship. When it all quickly goes poof after the first warp out it defeats the purpose of training multiple skills. Can asteroids in combat sites and missions please have a 10 to 15 minute lifespan after warp out so we can return to mine? ---

Arrendis is right on target here CCP. Once again because you seem to think of industrialists as no more than a required evil, you further diminish our return on our time invested in gameplay, is it because it is not the gameplay style that is your preference for players? Why not actually find ways to make it more enjoyable instead of more tedious and costly in isk purchased skill books and weeks of training time? ---

Can high sec ship bumpers earn criminal status along with significant damage to their shields, armor, & hull? If ship bumpers became damaged and vulnerable to counterattack as criminals the balance could be restored to help industrialists continue mining and hauling. ---

How do you think the new player base will interact with those changes ? Industry is already complex as it is, if you increase complexity, I can see new players getting discouraged if they want to get into it. ---

Maybe I am stupid or something but I fail to see what the idea is behind “dreate more robust and interesting manufacturing progression” is. Could you explain this more in depth, how you expect the progression will go for say a new player starting in industry something like 1st May? ---

CCP - thanks for all the hard work. EVE is wonderful, and I appreciate your careful stewardship of it. You’ve hooked me for life. **This is one question, I promise:** Are these changes going to have an impact on BPOs that are currently being researched? Will active researching need to be paused? Is the blueprint going to change while it’s being researched without any intervention on the part of the player?
