How to fix moon mining

So now with the addition of DUST 514 and the precursor to walking in stations with CQ, we can make moon mining no longer an AFK enterprise. What I suggest is that just like planets you can build structures on the moons that your POS is anchored at. This structure will be attack able by mercs in DUST as a playing field, possibly destroying it.

Now for the moon mining part, what you would have to do is train a new skill that is kind of like the POS gunner skill, except this one is for moon mining, cal it the Starbase Industry Management skill. Once you train the skill what you would do is head to your mining POS and once inside the shields you would eject from your ship and take an elevator down to the surface of the moon. From this point on you would be in avatar mode and you can walk around inside of your moon mining structure and you would need to operate different levers and controls to move the mined materials from the surface of the moon to the elevator to your POS.

No more passive income for moon holders and and everything is balanced out by the fact that people in EVE can attack your POS and people in DUST can attack your ground factories.

Discuss.

And in 2+ years this might be a valid system. Way to go on the long term goal.
Wait... are they not already working on a long term goal ring mining?

Moon mining doesn't need fixing. Tech does. And the plan is on its way.

Ring mining is just going to be a supplemental way to get tech, like alchemy is. Both are interactive. This idea removes the 99% passiveness of moon mining and makes it interactive. Plus it opens up more stages and juicy contracts for DUST mercs.

I think someone is butt hurt over that the moon mining will be becoming ring mining. and re populate the moons across the universe for this fun stuff.

Now if you want a large corp who does this mining stuff for you like that moon gooh.
Cost
1> miner is 4 plexes per month
2> Booster toons 2 plexes per month
3> Transportation toons is 3 plexes per month
4> Defenders Get full ratting/PLEX/DED rights in what ever system corp is mining in.
5> Corp will drop a POS in what ever system they are mining in whether someone is renting it or not.

The corp will not be paying anything for renting or protection. they will be granted blue status.

I think it was being considered that ring mining would completely replace moon mining for "moon goo" (which will eventually be renamed "ring goo")
