Lets talk about Gas...

Well hello there, I'd like to take a moment to talk to you about a topic that has been quiet compared to the rest of Industry....Gas.

No, don't go running and grabbing your Beano's....

I personally enjoy the concept of Gas mining (insert fart joke here). Raiding wormholes, stealing the clouds there, or even running around lowsec and hisec areas, searching for the elusive clouds.

I realize that Apocrypha allowed a greater use for gas harvesters in wormholes, however...why can't this be expanded?

Why can't we find another area of the game where gas harvesting could be worth it? Why can't gas harvesting in general be expanded? Booster production made easier and more readily available?

If you actually do some research, you will find the areas where gas clouds exist are surprisingly small, at least in regards to boosters. Some in nullsec, lowsec, but not much compared to overall.

In general, my question to you guys would be, how would you feel about the gas harvesting being expanded? A few features I'm proposing is:

1. Gas Clouds...make them a bit more like ice belts, but expanded throughout the universe and not limited to the small number of systems they are now.

2. Booster production, make the full process available in a station and not requiring a POS or drug lab to construct it. Most builders don't have access or want that type of production, and it will open the market on boosters and make the supply more readily available.

3. Take away sec status hits on all boosters...I understand where some of them come from, but in reality it would make booster trading/selling/contracting more available, and let the market flourish more with everyone being able to use them, in hi/low/null.

Spread gas cloud's around all eve : Yes
Keep in current COSMOS constellations all BPC/Books/Reaction drops : Yes
Move their production to stations : No

They really need to expand boosters in general their is plenty that they can do with boosters to add diversity to the game... everything from 5% range to ewar to 20% damage increase for 20% tracking reduction.. Someone really needs to create a what i want boosters to do thread in F&ID

No to building boosters in station and no to allowing boosters in high sec without repercussion ill bite on expanding areas where gas is available though.

I agree with everything except for production in stations. I would really like some more gas in nullsec.
