I have filed bug reports - which have been since beta Incursion on SISI.... *crickets*

CCP would you please fix:

1. Mining lasers (and other turret effects) to track, swap and activate properly - I hate to see my mining lasers firing from the top of my ship through it and out the bottom when clearly these should be the active side - and vice versa - only correcting when they complete a cycle....

2. my mining drones - they don't show up any mining laser effect until they complete the first cycle... again what is up with this...

3. COULD we get something OTHER than just BLUE lines... yes I know they have little yello white lines next to them but zoomed out they are blue lines... and really zoomed out you can barely see them... this is just LAME...

How about some color and some more dramtic effect as the prior miner/strips and all where.... why did you even change them??? they worked - ah... so change them and then break the cycle code so they are messed up?

Ok I have ranted... sorry I spend alot of time looking at these, and honestly it needs a looking at.

Mining will drive you crazy.

Ooh, they should randomly change colors. That way you can have a proper mining disco with enough Hulks/Covies in a belt. I don't care horribly much one way or another, but it does sound kinda cool.

This is why mining is not good for you.

You tend to lose sight of the real problems, and focus on pesky details which have no impact on game mechanics in the least.

Though in no way related to CCP, I would not even class most of the above as bugs, let alone priority ones.


Having said that - enjoy your rock grinding.

The only thing I want changed is the fact that the mining modules only make noise when they cycle. I miss listening to my ice harvesters or strip miners. Broke up the silence.

Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It is beautiful. http://thegreattichim.wordpress.com/

I don't get why people complained about the new blue mining lasers. Way cooler looking than the old yellow ones.
