Well was looking forward to time being reduced. It should have been done years ago.
Did you really expect to suddenly make 4x the ore with mining?

After all the mining nerfs to yield, mining ship bonuses and mid and high slots over the last 20 years. That would be a good start.
What I really expected is a faster cycle time which would increase the yield over time. The language stating its 4x faster with the same yield of the current cycle gives no benefit. They made the hamsters run faster but we are going to be in the belts the same amount of time. They nerfed the yield is the actual truth.
Incorrect.
You would be spending the same amount of time in the belt if you never wasted a partial cycle on an emptied asteroid.
With shorter cycles youâre going to waste less time like that, making it faster to clear a belt.
Also base yield stayed the same. It did not get nerfed. In fact, it got buffed, massively.
If you look at the new mining crits you can gain up to 25% more yield out of asteroids on average. Not only does this increase your yield by up to 25%, crits also create ore out of thin air without taking it from the rocks, increasing the amount of ore you can pull from valuable rocks.
This patch is a big buff to mining yield. Such a big buff that I can only expect ore prices to go down.

I must say that Iâm pretty exited about the this expansoin. How ever I think that the SOE Battlecruisers need further develonplent. It is missing a jump drive and maybe a condutit jump but for more limited number/ships than a blop. If you think that BLOP can conduit jump a platoon the Odysesseus could conduit jump recon team of 6-8 frigattes.
It also needs the ability to fit Assault DC and a triage module.
And a Doomsday Device!
LOL ok lets go crazy and the ability use light fighters
I am also expecting ore prices as well as t1 items to drop in price at least in the first 2 weeks
ID still like to see a reply on when markets will be seeded. shouldnt be same day relase as we need the deployable for the new fields
yeah the price for this new ship is crazy.
a stratios is a tier down from the odysseus, and is about 300m. the nestor is a bit over 1b. iâd figure the odysseus should be somewhere inbetween.

New content - including resources, blueprints and manufacturing materials - are usually brought in on patch day.
You will probably able to buy one of those deployables a few minutes after the first BPO is available on the market + whatever production time that thing has. Could be costly tho ^^
And if not, you will survive having them on day two. Trust me.

Letâs get to the facts: this new battlecruiser will be so expensive that it wonât be worth using. Mining destroyers? They donât make sense. A new mining anomaly is always welcome.
What I liked the most is being able to compress with a single key, and the new mining booster is very interesting.
A 50% critical chance and â15% residue are great numbers. Depending on the final buff, we may see Rorquals dominating mining again.
Your âfactsâ are wrong.
A covert BC that can squeeze through frig holes or collapse crit holes with the use of ZPMEs is quite a useful tool. The price tag doesnât really matter, people are flying even more expensive ships in JSpace.
And mining destroyers give Alpha payers a slight upgrade plus the command- and faction-versions will be used to run fast mining ops when you donât want or canât bring a porpoise and barges.

oh boi, i can wait to buy itâŚ.oh wait nevermind, itâs 50b a piece
The problem is that people hear its a battlecruiser but forget EVE Online has little consistency? A battle cruiser can cost 20m or 2b. Its whatever
/s
Cenotaph and Odysseus are more like Tech W battlecruisers. Or Tech L depending on how you look at it. I will walk myself out.
Iâd also like to know the answers.
Looks like an amazing amount of new development. Kudos to the dev staff! Iâm looking forward to the mining changes, and am appalled at how much SoE lp I still need to build the Odysseus!
One thing seems to be missing, though, or I just havenât seen it yet: can the update be complete without a massive drone nerf? Isnât that obligatory in updates?
Shush lol
