Science & Industry

I think the general idea would be for this to be implemented on a corporation/alliance level, otherwise there would be no way to regulate or control it. I.e. if people just said they lived up to it, but didn't do it. (telling instead of showing) then it would be a waste of time anyways.

The reasoning behind rule 3 & 4 (perhaps calling them guidelines instead, dunno if RULES ticks of people) is that we are part of the economy as a whole, we provide some of the basic materials every player has need for, directly or indirectly.
This is a HUGE responsibility, and its therefore of the utmost importance that we take this responsibility seriously.

And inflation is a huge problem.

So the general idea is to put some thought behind your actions, instead of mindlessly stripping asteroids.

So you only take from the belt what you need, you also do not discriminate against ore, you take whats in your general area, when its completely stripped you move on. This makes it in turn easier for everyone, as you don't get half empty fields etc.

When I say take what you need, I mean what is needed to fill a specific quota. So when you hit your daily, weekly, monthly quota you stop mining. Same goes for refining, don't mindlessly refine every single drop of ore you can scavenge, refine what is needed to fill your mineral quota.

Next rule is kinda related, instead of mindlessly dumping all your minerals to buy orders on the market. You setup sell orders, (all real mining corps have a ore/mineral buyback program anyways) and don't crash or inflate a mineral.
(Of course you adjust for demand)

This way we get a healthier market for everyone.

It's an idea I got that we need to be an ISK sink, instead of a faucet.
That means stockpiling, and carefully management of orders/quotas!

For example. And this is not to promote my own company in any ways.
We have an ore/mineral/salvage buyback program, we also buy a lot of general materials and components, as well as simple trade goods. This take a lot of work of the miner, so he can optimize his output, and utilize his time more constructive, instead of sitting semi-afk at a belt, watching movies. (not that there is something wrong with that, each to his own. Its about quality instead of quantity)

I can also see the logic behind some of the other criticism that has been put forward here.
For example, this would probably not be for the NPC-Corp miners.

Also thanks to everyone that have contributed so far.

Try to keep it constructive if you can, if not; then come forward anyways, might be hiding some nuggets of gold between the cynics and critics :)

For what purpose? I personally don't see an issue with miners/industrialists.
To gain respect for what?

Dunno, to take pride in your work? And get acceptance for a job well done?
(I know I am weak, because I care what others think about me)
That we aren't all mindless driveling button mashing drones?

Perhaps avoid in-game harassment from people that deem us unworthy?
Not that it personally matters to me as a person, but it is hurting my margin.
Personally I have never been harassed though, but it seems to be an issue?
Or am I over-reading the forums?

Also there is a lot of "John Doe'ing" going on apparently.
We also have examples (in this thread as well) about people thinking of our profession as something you do with your left hand (no offence intended to who ever are left handed, i use it as a lack of better phrase), half asleep, watching a movie.
I take pride in what we do, we plan operations, logistics, calculate quotas/payouts, always clean the belts after us, don't mine others roids, set wrecks to abandoned, be friendly and helpful, don't verbally offend people who have different opinions about how one should play the game. Being a general good sport, even if you are suicide ganked. Keeping a good tone, between PVP'ers and PVE'ers...

Because you do not see any issues does not mean that there is consensus about this.

Well I dunno tbh, I might be going of on a tangent here, it was an idea, ideas are supposed to be shared, that was what I did.

What better place to come for feedback on an idea than here?

Yea I am apparently failing at relaying what I mean.
And shot myself in the foot using the wrong terms.

Can we just imagine that we are talking about minerals and not ISK, and then be a mineral SINK (temporarily)

If we take minerals from roids, and not resell more than (for sake of argument )10% we are temporarily taking ore out of the game, this creating a THOUGHT of SINK?

EDIT: I can see getting no sleep is really limiting my ability to write properly in a foreign language.

I was talking about a thought of sink, and it was never an ISK sink but a temporary (market dictated) sink. (stock, hold)

Thank you for your constructive reply, and encouragement, that hit a dry spot :)
Will go to sleep on that, cuddle up with my bears in my large fluffy bed, all naked and insecure about what the dangerous PVP'ers think about me.

So, in other words, there's really no solid purpose behind this codex other than trying to sooth the feeling of inadequacy.
Not going to work, imo.

Well, I don't see miner/industrialists (even traders) as PVP stereotypes see them. The have more potential to be the movers and shakers in EVE than a simple PVP (aka shipcombat) grunt.
If you say there's a consensus out there saying this group needs more respect, then perhaps the person(s) saying so needs to re-adjust their pespective.

Good valid points all of you, thank you for the feedback :)

Hey Ji Sama, great job and effort!

There actually already is a Code which all miners in highsec must follow: The New Halaima Code of Conduct. But I fully support your exploration into seeing how miners can improve the community by voluntarily taking on a code of proper behavior.

Even if you temporarily refuse to acknolwedge the Code linked above, I hope you will read it and it will give you ideas for your own code in the meantime.

Hey, it's his website, and he can sensor any posts he wants to.

Just like we can block his remarkably dumb-arse comments here...
