Bitcoins are impossible to crack (you'll need way more accumulative computing power then what has been put into the leading transaction block for the last two years) but for stupid security (e.g. allowing your private keys to get stolen). The real problem is the value, it's jumping all over the place. It would be too much work for the little advantage of allowing your customer to pay using Bitcoin.

Yeah, the dropboxes turned out to be a pain. You could use Firefox (which responds to CSS when the website tells it to hide/show options), but I'll rebuilt that page soon and have it have a graphical selector (just like in-game).

edit: turns out it's not that much work: http://i.imgur.com/JRLOI.jpg (work in progress)

edit 2: bug squashed, e.g. you can now simply select your starter stuff by clicking pictures, near identical to how you did when you created a character.

So I played quite a bit my first week (now over a month ago), then had this idea to make this website. I also said to not touch my Termis (mined about four Sequer full with an Argano) before I could fit (and extension plan) it out of game. LOL (had fun though, just to illustrate what a true sandbox can mean).

Right, so summarized we need a economy to begin with (and I'll be perfectly happy to not empty my wallet every time I need a T1 item), and all those capable should be focusing on producing the higher-end stuff.

My guess is, btw, once there's a solid T1 economy, trial limitations might just be lifted in favor of a good experience (especially missiles might just really hurt conversion rates).

You're right, of course. It's the HP reduction from a lightweight frame, this is just what happens if you're listening in on a TS3 with active PVP. Fact remains, it's just overzealous rounding of the client, and while I'm glad the devs built in an export function, at least have it maintain a precision or 2 (and please have it use the tokens, not the translation).

So, LWF's armor HP penalties are rounded, so the standard LWF has a penalty that's closer to -27.49% than 28%.

This is what I came across today (it's my app giving me an overview of what it's doing):

[3] => Extension: ext_hull_upgrades (level 3) applies Hungarian Math™ [ 1025 * (1 + (5 / 100) * 3) ], or 15%, to item def_arbalest_bot's armor_max, going from 1025 to 1178.75
[4] => Extension: ext_mechanic (level 4) applies Hungarian Math™ [ 1178.75 * (1 + (2 / 100) * 4) ], or 8%, to item def_arbalest_bot's armor_max, going from 1178.75 to 1273.05
[5] => Modifier: added -28 % (from def_standard_mass_reductor) to robot's armor_max, going from 1273.05 to 916.596

So, that's rounded, between 917 and 916. Even if I round (or floor) the answers in between, I can't get it below 915. The problem? In-game runtime value (blue on show info) is 914 HP.

I'm like, GRRR.

Mechanics is at 4, complex mechanics at 3, for an Arbalest. Also includes a T1 standard lightweight frame, using a standard (1 - 0.28) calculation.

edit: found it.. you can't stack calculations, it needs to go in one go; e.g. base * (1 + (4*0.02 + 3*0.05)). Nice.

Okay, here we go:

    [3] => Extension: ext_hull_upgrades (level 3) applies Hungarian Math™ [ 1025 * (1 + (5 / 100) * 3) ], or 15%, to item def_arbalest_bot's armor_max, adding 153.75 (armor_max is now 1178.75)
    [4] => Extension: ext_mechanic (level 4) applies Hungarian Math™ [ 1025 * (1 + (2 / 100) * 4) ], or 8%, to item def_arbalest_bot's armor_max, adding 82 (armor_max is now 1260.75)
    [5] => Modifier: added -28 % (from def_standard_mass_reductor) to robot's armor_max, going from 1260.75 to 907.74

Smooth sailing? Nope, 907 HP??!! I know without demob it's 1261 (yup, a rounded up display value), so I'm guessing it's more than likely the reported 28% HP reduction from a demob is in actually more like 27.5%? Damn guys.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Yeah, I like this idea as well. Info button in landmark information only.

In the meanwhile, I've asked one of their admins to userfy the page, but it needs more citations. I'd also like to add a public reception page (the game needs to be 'notable'), so that means insurance fraud, duplication exploits, and the EVE exodus, but from a neutral point of view. If someone like to help me out and pull some sources and put some facts down, thanks a lot.

edit: Here's the draft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doek/Perpetuum

I've added a Perpetuum page to Wikipedia. If someone like to get in there and clean it up a little, add some citations, much appreciated.
