It doesn't, unless you're doing a ton of runs. I was just a dumb and researched it out of habit.

It doesn't, ever. Even if you do a million runs. The only thing ME affects is things that require 2 or more things.

Well, technically it would, since it requires 4 of the Market Network Components, but you're correct that that's a very small benefit only seen in a few circumstances.

Can you explain for a scrub? I get the falcon is an ECM boat and I think ECM is supposed to suck now (?) but short of "why was this guy moving 1 billion worth of BPOs in a force recon" I don't know enough to understand why this was so laughable

Prices haven't been updated -- that's more like 15B of BPOs in there. Assuming he bought them all at their base price:

* 6B for the Astrahus citadel BPO
* 3.6B in structure mod BPOs (they range from 200M for the tackle mods to 1B for the bomb launcher)
* 4.8B in new fighter BPOs (they're 300M each, he had 16)

and moving 1b in bpos in a force recon through gates, let alone 15b, is groin-grabbingly idiotic

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

from a noob's perspective this is sad/funny in a couple of ways:

1) "oops jumped instead of bridged MY TITAN", joins TEST (who I gather is a joke?) to hang with RL bros, begins posting hurf all over SA eve threads about "goons suck, I'm glad I'm out, look at you losers"
2) goons actually biting on said hurf

We were planning to refund all isk spent and sp trained in the now defunct Force Auxiliary skills along with this conversion. However we have encountered some complications that mean that we do not feel confident delivering this tomorrow. This will still happen in the coming weeks (Or at the latest by the next release). Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Except, you don't need to rape cage the towers anymore, especially when your towers aren't there anymore and our towers are- you know, that whole thing where Supers and Titans can now be tackled by a POS now (thanks :ccp:).

This is a very fine and not at all pedantic point which entirely changes the reality that people demonstrably won't log on until they have prepared circumstances which offer reasonable expectation of not encountering certain doom (by DT tricking off the POS grid or clearing tackle (yes, even other types of anchorables than bubbles) when the campers get bored of wasting their time as outlined in the paragraph you actually just quoted). I'm sure you're going to just farm shedloads of them you're obviously super smart.

I'm not super knowledgable about ratting in general or how ihub upgrades work- but I imagine that upgrading systems isn't very high on anyone's priority list at the moment.

Yeah we're all going broke because we can't rat but we're too simple to realize we need to install i-hub upgrades to rat, a tragic paradox

You should step away from the keyboard until you've calmed down enough about goons to construct arguments which rationally follow from the premises

I think they should keep biting, Im not sure he'll have anything left to live for if they stopped, would he get frustrated and stop? how would he fill the hours per day void?

what could happen, depression, suicide? Im no psychologist but I think so
