Player Features and Ideas Discussion

hello,

I'm sure this has been brought up in the past but I am going on anyway. This is a complete remix, not only a solution to tech.

Dynamic Distribution

I propose that all materials, globally, have limited quantities on the moon, like perhaps 1 month of materials, or something depending on the rarity of the material. After the supply is exhausted replenish it randomly in another moon in the appropriate truesec relevant to the rarity of the material. Obviously some of the more rare materials have been distributed to lowsec or poorer truesec, these variances would remain.


global dynamic distribution will keep the game alive, and provide opportunities for all walks of eve to fight for the money faucets. Territorial conquests would be changed entirely. This will do wonderful things for eve.






TLDR: make ALL moon goo run out and spawn in another moon elsewhere in the galaxy.

they wouldn't be able to.

Dynamic distribution is a bad idea to begin with. It devalues space.

Having said distribution deplete after a month is even worse.

If you bothered to read the blog, "set it, and forget it" is going away.

Not like this stuff concerns you. Raiden. doesn't exactly have space or moons do they?

The Group play required to monopolize high end moons after the deployment of dynamic distribution is in line with CCP objectives.

lol. What game are you playing? In Eve, that would completely and totally happen.

Entire coalitions shouldn't be sustained on something so simple as a moon harvester. It doesn't properly represent "territory" or what a sovereign entities' responsibilities are. Resource gathering is something that should carry some sense of discovery. Dynamic Distribution is an option to restore this sense of discovery, to bring high end prospecting back into eve. Yes, the powers that be would likely have a powerful stance in controlling the materials as they are discovered through tranquility. But this would be due to the labor of the members dedicated to such a cause.

Yes, you're starting to see the light. I know, it sounds challenging and even scary. The future is for the dedicated. Be not led by idle hands.

We've been through this before.

Moonshifting discourages fighting and territorial conquest ('why bother invading those guys over there, we're due another respawn in a couple of weeks so lets sit tight and see what pops up in our region'), instead encourages safe and boring activities (multiregion moonscanning operations), benefits the large alliances with the manpower resources to dedicate teams to moonscanning, and further spikes the prices of moon materials through constant and dramatic interruptions to the supply chain.

I think it would devalue holding space as well as encouraging the non sov holder moon occupiers like PL or other large cap heavy groups. While its true that some areas would still be quite occupied, it makes holding the space when its in its barren period much less attractive, and simply camping pipelines that much more.
Why pay for sov in an area when the area doesnt make you enough isk to pay for it? and if its sov less it makes it more attractive to roaming explorers who get stopped at the gates.
might be fun for a while but with the price of t2 ships skyrocketing because of lack of infrastructure in null, it would be a lot less fun in total.

What if it was a 3 month quantity for ultra-rare, and extended up to 1year for the most-common??
