We arent discussing multiboxing, we are dicussing Deployables.

Whether or not Multiboxing counts as multitasking is nothing to do with the topic being discussed here.



You defined multitasking, I made the passive point that people can save money by not having to by multiple mining characters and sit in a belt and preform multitasking with the same oucome using a deployable mining device.

If thats the case, what would the purpose in your proposed mining device be?

Refer to original post.

Purpose to help EVE players not have to buy multiple accounts to accomplish mass mining. Also because when the fleet needs you for a damn CTA you can continue your mining with a deployable unit. How is this so hard to understand?

Really... a mobile pvp inhibitor deployable, or perhaps a mobile insta-CONCORD deployable would be interesting for mining with as well...

Huh, ok. Not really sure how that agenda fits in there but ok I guess

Its not hard to understand. Im walking you to the same conclusion I came to.

If your original post essentially boils to "Why not MTMUs"

Then the answer is;

Multiboxing it may be, but it doesn't generate extra accounts for CCP, so it wont happen.

Just say that then.... LOL

Possibly however... and just hear me out... Lots of ore would be mined with my idea correct? Ore is mined with vigorous intent, prices drop for ore however it will be cost effective to keep ship building at max. More ships= more battles-- possibly. I guess it would be a market ploy with combat in mind.

I think that the only conflict it would drive would be the aggressive destruction of MTMUs

A lack of ships is not what prevents the drive of further conflict.

I have my own theories on that, but they are not relevant to a discussion on proposing new deployables.

Lower mineral price, combined with way too much money people can make way too easily ... bad.

You realize the result would be the super mega ISBoxing mining fleets would still operate, but each of them would drop 1+ of these, and they'd just end up mining MORE ore.

Your intention may have been to help the semi-miners, but it would probably end up ignored except by miners.

and people with access to Mercoxit, if it's programmable.

oh, and if you could get a gas-sucking variant, people raiding C5/6s.



........CCP Please make a gas-sucking deployable. Roll

............it would totally not get abuse by people raiding C5/6 for 3-digit gas Lol

really.

Let's stop having thoughts pop into people's heads. The conversation level of this forum is already under the basement floor. Our only hope of elevating it is people stop THINKING. CEASE IMMEDIATELY!

tyvm, Have a nice day.
