Before everyone gets their panties in a tight tizzy, I am referring to the materials that have a quantity of >1 (i.e. 2,3,4)...that are completely useless to anyone.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for a massive cataclysmic event to redistribute all the moon goo, to reintroduce moon exploration as a thing....but that is beyond scope of this suggestion :)

Came in looking to shout at you for such a terrible idea, left pleasantly surprised

(that title is so misleading)

Having some regions with top end moons in the past could encourage invasions. Now it's a more even spread, meaning less incentive to take space for resources.

I don't understand why moons even have different values these days - it's such a boring mechanic. If there is one thing that really needs looked at within th realms of sov, it's moon mining.

The different values were apparently going to be able to be taken advantage of with "T2" Moon Miners, which never got put in. However, since POS and Corporation Management (and SOV) are all on the table with CCP Seagull's new plan, maybe we'll see some things getting fixed soon(tm).

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Yeah, I've been waiting for those for forever™....still holding my breath Oops

As others have mentioned, the mechanic is seriously in need of a massive rework, along with Planetary Interaction. There are some good ideas out there for PI, and some suggestions to use the PI interface for moon goo (i.e. MI)

I could go for hours on many different topics related to moon mining, but I'd settle for making those extraneous materials at least usable for now.
