If there's no difference between the automated goods and the handmade goods... I'm sorry, I had to stop there. My comment was freaking me out with parallels to reality. Anyway, I think a move like that would give way more credence to the "EVE is a spreadsheet" idea, which I'd assume CCP is sorta trying to avoid.

If they actually put a fun combat game in there, nobody would care if the manufacturing game was all number crunching.

Honestly, if it could be automated, I'd find the number crunching game more interesting.
