FD answers: no Cartographics for you

Summarizing:

This week:
  • The upkeep cost for all additional services will be reduced by 80-90%.
  • Core running costs will be reduced by 50%
  • The debt threshold has been updated in line with the upkeep changes. This means with all services installed, a carrier can go 10 weeks (up from 4) without paying upkeep before being issued a final warning.
  • The total upfront activation costs of some of the more expensive services will be reduced by 35-45%.
  • The time between jumps will be dramatically decreased by only requiring 15 minutes for jump preparation and 5 minutes to cool-down.

Second beta:
  • Universal Cartographics will become available as an optional service. (25% cut split 50/50 between the Fleet Carrier's bank and the service)
  • Tritium will be made at least 2x more effective as a fuel.
 
I've already earned enough, but I'm also trying to front-load the carrier bank balance to a decent degree, and I'll want to fill it with 20k of tritium too. ;) So I still a little more mining to do.
 
Seems that FDev got the message. Processing the whole affair is just common sense, but still.

Hopefully we don't get blindsided by some unforeseen "gotcha". We'll see how this goes...
 
A interesting if a not somewhat expected development given the rather universal dismay. I now feel compelled to reevaluate my initial apathy. Throughout all this it does lead one to wonder how any of these initial plans and implementation made it past the conversation stages and into our already weary lives.
I would hope Fdev place themselves in our shoes more often for a better insight on how these things actually pan out.
 
And to issue a license for the purchase of a box only for at least two elites and ideally three elites and ranks for a maximum of everything.
