Invention in EVE getting a bit of a change

From the latest Dev blog here comes the news that Invention in EVE is going to undergo some changes.

About time too, quite frankly. If you can assemble the components and get the skills for the invention process, why on earth are the results random? Once these changes are made, you'll be able to focus your invention on a specific outcome.

Given the failure rates on invention anyway, having a 50% (or less) chance of getting the actual item you wanted was a bit poor. At least now you get more of a chance to land a specific item.

It also looks like some very long overdue changes to COSMOS are coming. The level of farming that goes on in the COSMOS complexes has been insane. Even if you could get inside one without being shot up, the farmers have mapped - to the minute - the respawn time of bosses and loot. You'd end up with little, if any, reward for your time, and an optional pwnage and podding into the deal too.

Making COSMOS areas something you have to explore and find fits in much more with how they should be working, and it's a good change I'm glad to see CCP bringing to EVE.

Plus it gives me a chance to give my Covert Ops ships a bit of a work out ;-)
