Invention is fine. I don't mind it that much, really. But there is something that I find I have to do constantly.
It's the math. How many Macks can I build now? What's missing from making more? The most I can find out without doing math is 8 Macks on a BPC. Don't get me wrong, I'm good at math, I can handle it. But I constantly have to either write down a bunch of numbers and do math or input it into a spreadsheet.
Whatever. This is the game I play. I enjoy this game. Despite this little corner of tedium. |

I hate to sound like Doc, but surely there is a better place in the forums to write a blurb about why you want to do something and make it a thread. Maybe reword it something like this:
Dear Diary,
Yesterday I told the forum that I want a Mackinaw BPO. Today I got ganked by one of those guys. I'm confused. See Bio for isk doubling rules. -áIf you didn't read bio, chances are you helped fund those who did. |

Macks tend to last longer than Hulks, which is what you should be building if you are into making Exhumers. You'll sell a lot more product, I can assure you.
As for a BPO. I wouldn't turn one down if CCP asked me if I want one, but invention is fine for making them. Invention keeps people occupied with all the busy work you need to do before you even get to the actual invention attempt. In other words, it's a time sink. And good luck trying to get a company to remove (or improve the efficiency of) a time sink in an MMO.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

^What Cribba said and welcome also to the moment you realise that getting more Mack BPO's in game would make your product worthless. Also, you have the heart to steal all the sheanigans from the ole Jita nerds and alliances having such BPO's? Bad and nerd-disrespectfull person what you are. |

Erh, have to admit that this is exactly what I find fun, and why I play EvE
Including setting up Gantt diagrams for optimized use of slots (and alts).
But the Mackinaw stash from before the patch seems to be a bit to large to get into production of new ones just yet.

When I did T2 I just kept a minimum inventory of everything, did a count once a week and reordered more stuff from jita if it got too low. No spreadsheets required (for this part, anyway). You shouldn't ever need to have missing items come up if you go to manufacture something. |

Well I'd put it in 'Science and Industry' but I'm not really asking any question, I'm just making conversation. I could put it in 'Features and Ideas' but I'm not really asking for any changes. Again, I'm just making conversation, sharing my experience of tedium.
Not to worry, I am enjoying this game. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go wash ink off my hand; I've been doing more math. |
