Thread: Ridiculous!!
I'll just use really round numbers here so I don't have to look things up right now.
A heavy mineral harvester takes 28K of resources. Of those about 10% (call it 3K) are the really high quality stuff - for the final assembly and the OMUs.
One way to think about it is we put most of our effort on "quality" (in terms of really paying attention to what we harvest and use) on that 3K. The other stuff is "filler". Yes, we have to do it, but it's just bulk resources.
IF you used that "filler" for the final or OMU, then essentially your harvester would be worthless. I don't think you can give away a BER7 Heavy, can you?
So that high-quality stuff is the "secret sauce" that makes that harvester worth something.
When I sell a heavy harvester for 160K, in a way I'm selling the 25K of "filler" for 3 cpu and the high-quality stuff for 29 cpu.
You can turn the knobs to suit yourself, and it's not a perfect model, but I think it validly puts something in perspective. When you buy a brand new house you figure so much per square foot, knowing full well that the granite kitchen sink costs more than the garage floor. If someone else is just buying a kitchen remodel with the new sink, they will pay a lot more on a relative scale.
OTOH I get 29 cpu for that high-quality stuff, and because of the breakpoints in harvesters I can charge that even when using stuff that just barely goes over 900, whereas a miner would only get 5-7 cpu for that.

"Yes, it's true. However, it's notreally a bad thing (from what I've been told so far).It will sort of depart from canon, but by doing this they will better be able to balance them against other weapons and armor, whichwas very difficult to do before when they were doing the 'special' Lightsaber damage type."
This is so unrealistic.....
Sorry just had to complain about this one...
Plans may yet change....
If there is one thing about MMORPGs that is certain... it's that things are uncertain... and change is a part of it...
