Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Agreed however the difficulty of finding 1 site could increase depending on the minerals available within the site, thus effort = reward. Up the level of rats that are in there, based on difficulty to scan down and risk = reward.

Both covered. What's more is because the sites aren't easily find-able by people, I'd also put forward that Concord couldn't show up as easily. A multiplier of 10% for response times as an example per security level would probably do it.

I'll support this regardless of requiring a probing ship or not, since its easy enough to move the probing ship about (typically being frigates and all)

Of course, requiring that they need a probing ship to find makes them some-what safer to mine in while at war, though this is still a foolhardy task unless you are in a 100+ AU system, which even then its risky.

I'd actually do this in two parts:
first is to have belts scannable via ship scanner, though these belts will only yield veld/scord in empire, veld/scord/faction 0.8/ faction0.6 (so a combination of pyroxeres/kernite/omber/plagioclas) in low sec, then all of that plus the (current) low sec ores for nul.
second is to have belts that require probing, and these would be more like the ones we currently have and are self-explanatory, though the ores missing from their more-easily located cousins are in considerably greater abundance.

but why would we go through all of that? Simply put; if you work harder, you should get better stuff. If you don't want to work harder, then sorry you've got veld and scord to munch on have fun. Or go into more dangerous space to get better ores. Or get probes and stop being lazy.

Would be pretty sweet, 3 levels of sites. Ones to get to using a ship scanner, another that it 50% easier to get using probes and another that's 100% harder than scanner to get to also using probes.

It'd also stand to reason that each different level gets different yields, ship scanner gets normal, 50% easier gets 10% and the 100%'s get the 20% good stuff.

1. Won't affect them even slightly.
2. Leave highsec?

This sounds abit like DRM.

We have a problem with people doing something that isn't allowed, so lets come with a solution that makes it harder for every one??


Result, those that do things that aren't allowed come with a solution and those that where doing it acordingly still have a harder time doing it.

attack botters not the path they use, that was made for everyone.

Easier it is to scan the more likeliness of it already been mined out for all the minerals people want and leave behind the junk stuff they don't need or want. Which in turn won't solve your problem with the current sites anyways, and it will still cause minerals to skyrocket because it will take more effort then just right clicking on the screen and saying warp to belt. Then those belts that are harder to fine will be locked down by the bigger corps, AKA declaring war on anyone that is taking their minerals. So I guess on the silver lining it will encourage PVP.

yes, but it'll never happen.

1. I think you're missing the human interaction part on doing the scanning. Have you tried convo'ing them? Did you report them as a bot?

2. Going 5 systems in each directional, I'll admit isn't a good sample however today I logged on - after roid spawn day - and found nothing after going 10 systems.

Tell me again how you're going to solve the problem of different time zones being given the advantage of a DT respawn on roids?

Again; thanks for the bump.

Harder than just warp. target, fire laser, wait?

I also must say the current asteroid belt system makes no sense at all from a science perspective. By what means would a 100km long half cirlce of asteroids appear over the surface of a planet in arbitrary positions?
