theoretical max isk/hour mining would be MAYBE 60M with these changes, so actual would be something closer to 30M and you would need minimum of 6 people mining at once (4 miners, hauler, booster).

You can pretty easily make 60M/hour ratting (iirc, it's been a while since i ratted) solo with generally the same risk and slightly less boringness.

If you want people to mine in null you can't have an alternative that has similar risk, is more entertaining, and nets you double the profit... You have to either increase the profit or decrease the risk relative to ratting

No matter what changes you make, mining will always be subject to market forces and driven down to whatever level it settles at.

And plenty of people mine. It's exactly the reason mining has its lower income rates.

Gave up on mining in December, un-subbed ten accounts and trashed the equipment due to CCP's ham fisted nerf's.

Nothing here entices me to consider mining as a profession again, Tinkering with Ore contents which were never the real issues with mining in the first place will not solve the problems as pointed out by Our Anzac member.

'FozzieSov' and his 'Tosser' units will in my view seal the fate of Null Sec mining anyway as there will be so few players in Null Sec doing anything interesting except 'Griefing' each other his plans to turn EVE into one gigantic Jita 4-4 undock scenario will result in only one end, Players will own nothing, build nothing and plan nothing in Null Sec so not much point in mining out there.

Happy now to just run two toons ratting, make double plus the ISK and not have the bother of running a mining fleet at all while I watch these fools trash the game for hundreds of players.

Way to Go Fozzie, LoSec born and bred. Roll

The fun thing about mining for profit is the more people that do it, the less profitable it becomes. Yay markets!

Once the ihubs get trashed your ratting income will fall off a cliff

Or perhaps another anom nerf, thanks to all the people bragging about their ratting

Don't forget that the IHubs also have the industrial upgrades too, and most null systems don't spawn the ABCM ores in the normal belts.

I was going to respond...but this is more than sufficient.

Okay, I will add that if JFs get nerfed and null corps, alliances and coalitions become more concentrated then there will need to be more income generation that simply ratting. If all the sanctums and havens and such are full...maybe go get out your mining ships instead and kill a few mining anoms.

Yes, the ISBoxer ban (well the limited ban that is).

A single mining ihub goes a long way. plus it has a bunch of barges in the system

you don't see that with ratters, something something density

If no one is mining where are all the new ships coming from? people are welping ships all the time. Even titans. You can't plex the materials you need to build these things. Someone, somewhere is mining. Mining a *lot*.

Even though i am not yet a bittervet, overall prices for a lot of things have come down a *lot* since i have been here.

Oh and we see mining in nullsec all the time. However the millisecond that a non blue turns up in local they doc up/pos up.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

It's visually disappointing isn't it? Everything that should be there is there, but it's so empty. If you're on an overview tab without asteroids you can't even tell you've arrived.

All the high unit count rocks are gone (because most of those were high sec ores).

Rock size ought to scale with the total volume of their ores, instead of the number of units. That way a 1000 unit mercoxit rock would be 400 times the size of a 1000 unit veldspar rock, instead of the current identical size.

They should also scale their diameter to cube root (a rock with 8 times the volume should have only 2 times the diameter) rather than the current (apparently) linear scaling.

QFT.

The sizes of rocks is way too small. It's even smaller than high-sec ores, even though the volume is larger.

And I'd prefer if some rocks were high-unit count, I loved mining Crokite in Enormous for 4 hours straight, without having to re-target or move my Hulks.
