Moon Goo Shuffle

So the patch is going to re-shuffle quite a bit of the moon minerals around. Do we expect a complete shuffle? Are we going to have to rescan every moon? Just some thoughts, I can imagine that this could spark some conflicts if one constellation gets an above average sprinkling of the more valuable moons.

From what I've read there will be no reshuffle. They are just adding 200 or so more R64s and taking pressure off the technium bottleneck.

To clarify, they're adding R64 materials to ~200 or so existing moons, spread out over low- and null-sec. The random seed for the distribution was sourced live at fanfest somehow. (source)

If you want to find those new R64's, yes you'll have to go hunting. Otherwise, no new rescanning needed.

Also keep in mind that survey probes will have their own launcher post-Odyssey (source), and cannot(?) be launched from expanded probe launchers anymore (anyone on Sisi confirm/deny?). Those launchers don't exist yet on TQ so they'll have to be built after Odyssey before anyone can go moon-goo-hunting. Unless Sisi has already had the moon minerals distribution updated, but that seems like it would be a faux pas...
