Not worth the time, effort and disappointment to mine ice anymore. My fleet of 8 is no more. Good luck to you who can continue in the job.


And now you have the perfect opportunity to diversify skills, apply your experience to new ventures, and explore so much more of EVE. It's all good. Blink


This involves keeping 1-2 accounts to reuse say as PvPer + scout / cyno and let the othe 2-4 lapse. It's going to reward CCP indeed.


This is what I will be doing. I will be dropping 2 accounts that I used for mining and HS invention\indy as it just not worth it anymore. One account is enough to live a happy life in Null with. CCP has made my wife so happy Twisted

This is getting stupid CCP.

First you have introduced limited resourced belts.

Then you have removed the ICE from several systems, forcing the players to regroup in what is left.

Now we have time dilation in ICE-mining systems with only 40 people in them, reducing the fun and value of ICE mining even more.

Please take appropriate action to reinforce systems containing ICE belts so that the content becomes playable.

I like it. There is actually some tension in highsec over resources. Maybe there will even be wars.

Yes, ice miners will throw ice creams each other. They really don't go beyond that, it's like organizing a Bambi vs Bambi fight.

Please take some time to remind highsec miners that NPC corps are not decable, and you can escape into them if danger approaches.

No need, they are not the mindset of the "I will wardec this dude" mentality to begin with.

They need to make Orcas able to carry at least 4 fitted ships if they want people to hop everywhere (in search of a belt) like bunnies, else this patch is going to backfire.


Orca can already carry four skiffs.

But that's not 4 hulks :'(


why would you mine ice in a hulk when you have an orca with you?

Ores are dropping (also) because some do what you say. Since ores are not hard capped like ices, their markets tank like rocks.
Enjoy earning less than ice mining before patch, but with with more stuff to do.

So today I checked the two systems I mentioned up thread. Again it was the same. Annoms staying up for ages and in the one system only half a dozen miners in the belt.

There is ice in highsec that isn't being 'mined out' at light speed.

I suppose I could say which systems they are but I think I'm gonna just move my mining alt to one and maybe take advantage, even though I'm not a big ice miner. At least until people take some initiative and figure out which ones they are.


edited: As we speak I'm in a belt with a whole four other ships. No way it's being mined out quickly.

Were you mining the one relevant ice?

Quite sure you can rot in some Amarr belts forever and not meet anybody.

You should know that the wardec mechanic in EVE is not the only way to start wars. And I distinctively remember reading about a miner who was planning to build a suicide fleet after watching the horror in one of the ice anomalies. Wether it will happen or not that is another thing but this miner is at least entertaining the idea.
