odd i run w7u-64 and dont have this issue, what anti-virus are you running?

Assaults should be dmg or surface to reflect the advance tech otherwise i agree.... but also once i get in game again [if this damn work will stop getting in the way], i guess im going to have to work on buying some birochit to build some mk2 and whatnot for the lols mostlikely a bunch of lights and assaults. Definately want a waspish just because im like that... and i have the extensions to use it already so why not make the most of what i have i guess. See what other fit types i can get out of it that are useful for different roles maybe.... and maybe finally join a corp [though im not sure on that]

True Expert Robotics, Expert Weapon racials, Aoe/Artillery Extensions, Structure/Corp Owned stuff extensions. Plus any other advances in weapons/manufacturing at very high end complexity and low end if new featured stuff is added there too. lots to do and learn in many areas, should be great.

booo and im still having to work and wait for my tests to finish so i can use my system again no fair

True but then you will need to make kernels a % drop which will hurt freelancers and small corps again. With as hard as it is already. personally im still in t2-3 research.

in the end this issue here is, NIC. If people generated more NIC they would more willing to pay 'resonable' prices. But since the kernel prices [main source of raw NIC] is terribble now, and people there for don't want to pay the relative prices when they see buy orders for generally 90% less, people feel end up feeling " why should i bother, i will just go get the items myself instead".  This then lead to the ease with which some were able to exploit the insurance system on such a mass scale. 

So in the end the only way around alot of the issues is to join a corp, and it has to be a corp that has players that are able to support each other fully or someone in the corp is going to need an alt or 2. This is the main difference between the way the CBT and live has gone.

The NIC generating capcity of a single char regardless of build has been cut right back. Combats' get less for kernels, can only sell a few things [incomparison] to npc [for lower prices] and get less from recycled items for commidities to sell. Indy's get less because its more expensive to research on the whole due to the kernel search tier change requiring all levels of kernels instead of masses of T1's [which provided a mass market of sale for newbs on t1-3 kernels] from intra-player trade, higher relation % is needed to equate to the similar recycle output along with additional extensions for top tier commidities.

Perfect example i guess is how i would get materials in CBT and how i do it now or more clearly the amount i get now. Without going into specific numbers to much because im to lazy to dig them up fully:

[intensive farming sessions] similar extension points farming T2-5 mobs,selling to a combination of npc, players and Corps to order, with manufacturing on left overs to sell on market

CBT: July-Sept 1 day farming kernel + modules = 20M-70M [depending on sale/recycle]
Live: Feb 1 day farming kernels [depending] 1-3M,
              All modules are recycled or kept for manufacturing process, because prices suck and arent worth selling, commidities are all kept because again prices suck. All commodities are then used to manufacture anything i see a need for on the market that will make minimal profit that large corps arent mass [50x] producing.

Now personally I pretty much refuse to buy anything off the market because its NIC i could use making more things to make more NIC. Because the cost of the items to the cost and time to produce the items means its stupid to buy anything.  The main issue small corps, freelance agents have and therefore then need alts is that all these NIC reducing changes along with the immense kernel research change [meaning that the balance is firmly in any corps hands that can have as many people kernel farming for research as posible and not bother trading kernels] mean that people feel the only way to get ahead/level is to have more then one char so they can supply themselves/reduce paying the NIC for another persons EP in a different area.

I would of never had 2 accounts come LIVE if i didnt feel how bad the kernel change was during the OBT as i would of just stuck with combat and bought in items i needed, instead of now trying to manufacture them.

yea its something that we had been calling the items t# and pt# for ages from the cbt as a way to refer to the modules and there standing in the production system, now that they are 'stamped' newer players can catch on more readily about the system, and a modules standing [general fitting/effciency] quickly

I got this impression when reading your notes on the new system, good too know Zoom. Still I will have to wait till next week to get in game to try this out.

also you then have the issue of ep stacking, from multiple chars into one account. Which is whyt this has been ruled out

true it can be hard to tell when these sorts of things are being used. But when the macro is just doing things that player needs to oversee there is no difference it just saves button pushes, its when the macro's automate a process to the point that the player is absent that the problems arise as this was brought us before in the beta forums and during the cbt.

If i could find the post i think it was zoom or crm that said as long as full automation and player interaction is completly removed from the activity thats when they have an issue with people macro'in

Edit: those keyboards still require the user to be active in pressing buttons and what not, they are automated software for id of things on the screen and clicking around the user environment [thats the issue i was trying to clarify above]

havent tried running more then 4 but its all smooth maxed out at 1680*1050.

Otherwise i would normally stick to 1-2 running Maxed on my main screen then i have all soundsdown aside from system sounds [like target lock-on] on the secondary so i know with paying much attention if something is going on their. But i use vsync so i get a solid fixed frame rate which stops any jerky motion from jumps or drops that could occur from running many monitors with games/active windows on them.
