With the recent shake up of R64 and the ensuing war; it seems that moving moon goo around is good for "emergent gameplay". I suggest that it is taken further and each moon, esp the R16 & up have a finite amount{1-3 months worth}. Once it is depleted, a new random moon receives it during downtime.

Have you ever scanned a moon?

Have you ever scanned and entire region of moons? Would you like to do this every few weeks?

Tell me, how do you feel about having to pay a billion ISK for something as simple as a vagabond?

try actually USING a part of the game before opening your mouth for once because if you would have you would have realized how horrible that suggestion is

Ftfy.
If the minerals were mixed up every 3 months it wouldn't be bad, not to mention the fact that there would be a conflict driver in null.


Or we can wait for CCP to roll out part 3 of their moon fixing trilogy.

Edit: And if you don't want to scan moons you don't have to, just find another source of income :smug:
Alternatively you could just wait for other people to set up POSs and knock them down.

Moon mining will go away within the next few expansions. You heard it here first. Blink

In all reality moons are fine. The issue with moving them every 3 or 6 or X months is that they would only be moved around within the same region. Each region has different amounts if R64 moons. This makes some regions, like Fountain, Delve and Querious, have more R64s than say Cobalt Edge and the rest of the drone regions. This way there is always "best space" for people to fight over. No one will launch a campaign to take a region to have all the moon goo shift to the other side of the Galaxy in a week. Switching them up only to have them stay in the same region to be scanned down and take by those who own the region will change nothing except push profits/costs higher for the increased effort.

This dynamic pretty much requires null sec to be fixed and not suck donkey balls.
