Yup, no improved nocx sources. But I think that either Mexallon or maybe Isogen could become the bottleneck for nullsec shipbuilding because as I remember nocx was common enough.

Trit will become a lot more common in nullsec, with Spod containing (by volume) a bit more than Scordite and Crokite and dark Ochre containing as much as Pyroxeres. Bistot will have as much Pyerite as Plagioclase. Gneiss will have almost as much Mexallon as Plagioclase, which should help with that though maybe not enough.

I don't have the numbers but I'm wondering how much a small nullsec grav site will yield in terms of lowends. There's an awfully big Spod in there.

Still the two previous sentances, before what you quoted, is good advice.

Maybe you were asleep during the Ice Interdiction, but the "Goons and Co" have already tried this.

The interdiction itself was implemented well, lots of Macks died, and blue ice and blue ice product prices indeed spiked for a couple of months. But, most of the industrialists maintain large POS fuel stockpiles - ranging from a few months to several years. Keeping the interdiction going long enough to bleed out those stockpiles proved somewhat impractical. Ice miners were also still able to sneak through the interdiction, just enough to keep topping off those stockpiles.

Today, it would be even more impractical, since, post-interdiction, any industrialist who did not have a large stockpile before certainly has one now.

Indeed, I just replied to the fun part.

But I haven't met the null-sec alliance a 45 minute a night player would keep satisfied.

So it comes back to what Eve has to entertain me with in brief play, and frankly, SWTOR is winning that battle.

They need to either make high-sec worthwhile OR entertaining. Null-sec can be the best place. Hell, I WANT null-sec to be the best place for when I have free time to be in a corp. But high-sec needs to be worth logging into. If it isn't for resources, then it needs to be for some kind of entertainment. Now If I had a couple of hours a night I could get drunk and do incursions. But 45 minutes is like a mission or 2. Frankly SWTOR missions are more entertaining.

I am not convinced that grav sites should be changed into anomalies, and that ice should be placed in anomalies as well. Scanning (using probes) for grav sites and ice seems like a better solution. It provides a means to slow down bots, and provides a little warning/protection for miners who are not afk.

So, mining in WH becomes almost as dangerous as mining in NO high-sec? Don't see the problem... :)

I hope you realize how terribly terribly and inexcusably short sighted that is.

Problem 1: Assuming that all of a resource can or will be acquired on a consistent basis over the entire day.
Problem 2: Setting a static supply limit on something with an elastic demand.
Problem 3: Pointlessly static respawn timers (unless it is 4 hours since the "belt" gets depleted which only aggravates problem 2)

I hope there is an order of magnitude more ice spawns in low and null to compensate for these issues, and tempt more ice miners into low/null. (And no, the existing numbers of belts in low and null are not enough, you need low/null to be a huge temptation, for miners, and the sparse belts/sites currently there still won't be enough, not until ice spikes and people shut down towers in droves.)

I'm surprised that CCP still thinks "static supply, plus dynamic and growing playerbase and thus demand = good". At some point people simply stop buying things when the cost skyrockets.

I am nothing but impressed. I love everything on that list.

Are the insta scan grav belts going to apply to wormhole space as well?
Are the zyrdrine amounts on gneiss going to be increased?

also, I see whiners in this thread already.. get in a covetor or a retriever and mine ice in low sec after these changes.

SWTOR? Seriously? I think that game was the fastest and biggest budget AAA MMO to go from P2P F2P and not to mention Subs dropped like a rock. That game is fairly decent until you complete you character(s) storyline. But honestly, I don't play themepark MMOs anymore I just can't do it anymore. I guess it's because my first MMO was Ultima Online.


But as for ore redistribution I am a little surprised myself. I figured they would add in more minerals to the high end ores but didn't expect them to be filled with Tritanium and Pyerite. It's still sad to see that Omber is still worthless, wonder why they didn't fix that one at least make it more lucrative than Veldspar.

The rest of Eve has this perfect intel tool called local. Wspace doesn't.
