I running these sites just for casual fun and trying different fits, while performing those quests (how to survive being webbed into place under arty siege). I done 'em for boosters previously, but I’m not so interested into it anymore.
I collected 300 Points at day 1. Therefore, I’m running 'em by inertia currently, until I’ll reach 1000 points.
I should have been more accurate. I mixed both quantity and m3 in one sentence.
The ore volume is 3 m3.
Average current qty per site is around 2496 (2500). So, total volume is 2496*3 = 7488 m3 ore. Reprocess ratio is 1000:2 (perfect). So, we can get like 3 Tricarboxyl minerals per Gala site. A Standard booster requires 70 Tricarboxyl minerals to craft.
I’m doing 'em for points too.
Even Orca can’t afford the ‘Ardour’ Booster Industry! Confirmed!
Thanks for the feedback @Rexxar_Santaro . If its 1000:2 then per site (2496) it would be almost exactly 5 Tricarb which is around 10m at current sell prices…
I guess if you could find enough sites you could make about 60m / hour…
I hear the fun of working out the best fit, its one of the nicest things about the new challenges…
Guess we can all work towards that mach skin if nothing else!
Well, in light of the fact that the team is actually being informed by this thread: I have decided to post some actual feedback beyond my previous “this event is horseshit” comment. I obtained two loot-boxes after some effort and jumping through various hoops and paying isk and shooting things. The two items I received have no direct value to me. They can be sold to a buy order in Jita for 1.3 million and 634 thousand isk. they are not special in any way. Imagine Team, if you were me, would you continue this activity yourself?
Now if only that much effort had went into making sure events properly expire so you could actually participate, or making sure the refining numbers and mining amounts made sense, or that the surprise gifts were generally not a 99.7% isk sink…
Too many hoops to jump through in this event. Would rather just have something like Crimson Harvest with a separate beacon for miners and everything drops in loot (BPCs, event themed loot). You still have to earn points to get the skins/event rewards but can mostly shoot stuff or mine to get there and be done.
I agree with Mustache Dealer, this event is dull and the payout is poor. I’m not asking for isk to be poured into my hands but the way you have to get it in this event is odd/stupid to say the least. I have done a few of the events now but I feel like I’m getting nothing for my time, REALLY poor drops from the ships then when I do use the paradise club the items I received were very poor indeed and 13 mil isk for the privilege ??
Finally, I can’t see any reason why an alpha only player would play this event, it does nothing for them and the cost of the ship to fight might be beyond them not to mention the 13 mil isk plus items to get something ■■■■ from the club.
They’re supposed to be carefully confronted with limitations and triggers to move up from Alpha through taking part in opiate economics and/or going straight to Omega …
