~screw that~



Would be longer as you'd have to factor in all the time for moving, not all rocks being veld etc.


To be fair, that's a ballpark figure - it assumes 2MLU Hulks without orca bonuses and I still went north with the figure anyway.

What about with rorqural bonuses, because clearly it would be safer to mine that veld in nullsec?

I mine in high sec. I stay alert and use scanner. I have not been ganked in the last year. I suspect what the OP and his ilk want is the ability to safely AFK mine. Otherwise, elves------> that way.


P.S. Don't you tools come looking for me!

They said they wanted to change bonuses to be on grid only, can't imagine putting a Roqual in a asteroid belt make much sense, unless they except mining bonuses.

- Nullbears use intel network and take countermeasures when "problem" arises.
- Hisecbears use afk button and take no countermeasures before they are already in pod and feeling great desire to open up about it.

Mining in hisec, specially during bearhuntingseason - has become more profitable now that it has been in years. The risk of getting ganked is obviously higher too, but perhaps the actual problem isn't in the ganker.

If they make miners impossible to kill, the mineral prices will drop so low that no-one will make their living out of it any more. The belts will just be full of b... afk miners.

I see no egg, never did I say ALL, only you did.

But the logic is against -any- 0.0 players being stupid enough to kill their isk/hr to go mine in high sec. I mean, I'm sure one or two do, but we're trying to save as many as we can.


So... say you succeed at getting all the players to stop mining, and Sreegs succeeds in removing all the bots, who makes the ships?

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Was there some sort of call to buff supers after the kill?
Because if not, your attempted comeback doesn't really work.

Lets try it and see.

Ok, so lets start with the part that doesn't require coordinating tons of players: Hm, for Sreegs to remove all the bots, uh ...
