Update to industry

With the recent update personally i think ccp went in too harsh causeing some of the capital industry guys to take a massive hit, i was working on an erebus since before they released that they was going to do an update to industry i thaught they might reduce materials by 5-10% not a whole 25% takeing the erebus i was building from 215b cost to make to 160b,
i also had 40 caps in stock im haveing to take losses on these too im not a massive builder compared to some but this hit cost me probably around 80-100b

what i think should happen is reinburse the difference in materials for ships installed (normal caps 2 weeks before patch release and 4 weeks for supers)
if it makes a bonus to industry guys because the stuff was pre sold then fair play (they might even split the difference with the buyer) or even reimburse them a bit of isk like 500m per normal cap, 5b for a super 30b for a titan at least it is something to help take the hit they have just caused

i did a ticket to ccp and they linked me to this forum to share my concern i waited a week for a reply so i would also suggest they hire more support staff

also the thing industry is struggleing with atm is ghost data site materials so i think increase the amount of ghost data site spawns would be a good idea that stuff is what drives prices of building caps up

The market and industry top meta is to play next expansion.

Getting shafted by CCP with changes is the norm. First rule of eve online is: do not do anything you can not afford to lose.

This is a dystopian capitalism simulator. Welcome to the zone.

TBH its not that i cant afford the loss its just no one in industry should take losses this big because ccp decide to go over the top with reduceing material requirements to build caps they could have gone 10% less per month over the next 2-3-4 months or so while increasing mining bringing back rorqual mining, that would reduce losses in industry they could work out where the balenceing issue is work on the bottlenecks of industry, it looks like to me there was no thaught process just a quick fix to reduce cost of caps because they want to see big blocks use/lose caps again.
