I am tired of waiting — Deadline for S&I guide update set
As I have been saying a lot for the past few weeks, I’m waiting to update my Science and Industry guide again because Invention is so horrible at the moment, I cannot envision CCP not fixing things.
I would love to say that I knew how bad the situation with Invention was from experience, but the truth is that I just don’t have the money to get involved with that. Billions of ISK for a single data interface that can be used to run one Invention job at a time (it won’t be used up or anything, but still)? I have some money, but I’m not made of the stuff.
And then there’s the poor returns on the Invention jobs if they succeed at all. Now, the people testing haven’t been using BPCs with maxed out runs or anything, which I think may be part of why they can only get tech two BPCs with a single run, but their Invention jobs still fail to come up with anything an awful lot.
But anyway, the sorry state of Invention has been what was holding me back. But since I am tired of waiting, I am placing my personal deadline on January 7. If by then CCP has not announced a pending (or even desired) improvement to Invention, I will edit the Invention section of my guide appropriately, and re-insert the language mentioning that the Science and Industry interface’s Blueprints tab can’t find blueprints that have not been used yet (I had thought the bug was fixed, but I was just misreading the patch notes).
So cheers everybody, and happy industry.

Just wanted to encourage you…your science and industry guide was vital for me in my very beginning days of Eve. Ya know, way back in October.
Thanks for what you do for the community.

Well, the deadline came and went, and so on January 10 I updated the guide. I guess I should have mentioned it somewhere on this site and not just at my guide page, but the thought didn’t occur to me. Er… Sorry about that.
