EVE Devblog: More Stuff Happening in Revelations 2.2

New Features For Оld Issuеs
Based on feedback and requests from resource hauling players‚ we introduced the Rorqual ОRE capital ship in my prеvious blog. This ship's unique ore compression ability allows the movement of ores from fringe regions to empire space for refining‚ a feature requested since EVE's launch. The Rorqual's introduction grants us the ability to incorporate older ‘metafeatures’ into EVE in a balanced and officially supported manner.
Currently, there are a number of items whose total volume of required ingredients are many times that of the resulting product. This leads to imbalanced compression rates as high as 430:1, such as the 1,000m3 Jump Portal Generator, a module requiring 430,000m3 of minerals to make. Upon completion, these modules would be transported to a new location and reprocessed with nearly zero waste, thus allowing the transport of a Freighter load of minerals with an Industrial.
While this imbalance has been around for a long time, it wasn't until the introduction of high resource capital modules that we began to see its use increase. With the introduction of a ship designed to facilitate and empower ease of logistics in low sec, we can now release a tool to address deep space needs.
There are approximately 170 items currently on Tranquility with compression ratios over 5:1. When Revelations 2.2 is deployed the manufacturing costs of these items will remain unchanged, however reprocessing the affected items will yield 80% of the materials required. Material transport will still be possible after Revelations 2.2, but it will no longer be profitable to do so.
Science and Invention Skill Seeding
Science and Invention skills, excluding Encryption Methods, will be seeded on the market. Some of these skills have a disproportionally high demand (such as the Graviton Physics skill required by the Interdiction Sphere Launcher), preventing smaller corporations or alliances the opportunity to become involved in this section of the market. Seeding a greater supply will allow more players to get into invention and advanced manufacturing or research. The base price will be 10 million ISK.
New Advanced Mobile Laboratory
An upgraded version of the Mobile Laboratory will be available offering 6 copy, 5 ME, 3 TP and 4 Invention slots. Оpеration will require 20% more power and CPU from your starbase. Base cost of the Advanced Lab will be 150 million ISK.

ОMFG what a fucking nеrf!!!! that is the gayist shit ever nerfing compresion

am I right in saying this completely fucks over out logistics?

guess this means we need to fast track a titan...
