Dear Friends


I was wondering wouldn't be nice to mine in area of darkness for change, I mean surely their are asteroid belts on the dark side of the moons or planets. This could be very cool as for a little change in miners daily life and plus we could get some use for the head lights on those Orca's and Barges. I would think at least one or two asteroid belts pure system would be even just for the joy of it. :)

Just turn your monitor off while you're mining.

[Laughs] Not the same thing but I appreciate the suggestion and hopefully on to more serious mindsets.

I'm completely serious.

If you'd like, I can send you a flashlight and a rock, and you can simulate the experience that you're talking about without any DEV resources being allocated. When you get bored with mining in the dark, you can go back to doing whatever it is that you do while mining.

Again, I appreciate your opinion. I just hold a slight different view.

The 'dark side' you are talking about is actually very small in astronomical terms. The Penumbra cone hardly even hits the moon from the earth and asteroid belts orbiting the planets are a long way out.
So chances of them actually being in the full cone are almost none.
