I agree with you on pretty much everything and I’m liking what I see.
I think that one thing that should be revisited on the indy side is the job cost calculation. SCC at 4% is an absolute joke. Sure in high sec, I don’t really have a massive problem with it there. What would be a decent alternative however would be keeping the overall fomula the same, but tweaking the variables, such as the following:
TIF = EIV * ((SCI * Bonuses) + FT + SCC + Alpha)
where:
TSec = True security status
- EIV (Estimated item value) remains as it does currently.
∑ all materials (Mquant * Madj price) - SCI (System Cost Index) =
sqrt( system work in past 24hr / universe work in past 24hr )changed from 28 days - FT (Facility Tax) =
0.25^(1 * Tsec) - SCC (SCC Surcharge) =
4^(1 * Tsec)
AND Tsec >= 1 AND Tsec <= 0.0, where Tsec > 0.0 assume just 0.0
So a table of these proposed SCC charges would look as such:
| Formula with TSec | Percentage |
|---|---|
| 4^(1 * 1.0) | 4.000% |
| 4^(1 * 0.9) | 3.482% |
| 4^(1 * 0.8) | 3.031% |
| 4^(1 * 0.7) | 2.639% |
| 4^(1 * 0.6) | 2.297% |
| 4^(1 * 0.5) | 2.000% |
| 4^(1 * 0.4) | 1.741% |
| 4^(1 * 0.3) | 1.515% |
| 4^(1 * 0.2) | 1.319% |
| 4^(1 * 0.1) | 1.148% |
| 4^(1 * 0.0) | 1.000% |
And similarly modifying as shown in the tweaked FT formula to take the system Tsec into account. The other major change I’ve made here is to shift the SCI to 24 hours rather than 28 days. I don’t know how dramatic of a change that could be, I assume quite a bit, so maybe it should be smoothed out over 3 days to a week, rather than a whole month.
Is such a change something that you could get behind?
