EVE General Discussion

Or you could just get ice in less crowded systems? There is a system near my home where there is ice 24/7, never went in it without the white glaze anom being present. Now sure it's in lowsec but surely that wouldn't stop a brave ice miner who wants to be good at what he's doing (mining ice).

When there is no ice... I dock up, switch to strip miners and a mining upgrade, then find one of many easy to locate higher end ore sites. Seriously, ccp took away, but they gave right back by making Grav sites into easily found anomalies. Plus, with thw reduced time to train into an orca, life is good. I'll have an extra orca pilot in 2 weeks. He can follow my miner, making it easier to switch from ice to ore and back.

Out of good will toward the goons and any others with reading comprehension deficencies. I will be glad to host a webinar in the near future to try to help with this disability you may have in regards to reading comprehension.

Please allow me to paraphrase to help you. He said he only plays part time not 24/7 this means only limited play time as in only a few hours not all day.

Hope this helps.

Here's 2 players with their fleets as of 1 minute ago, not showing my own.

In total it's 46 ships. Guess how long does it take to empty your 2500 cubes and how much will the random 1 account guy take? Also considering he has to move 41 kms from 1 cycle depopped roid to the next?

Wouldnt it just be a desert?

confirming there are metric fucktons of ice in nulsec and lowsec. where you can charge what you please after you mine it as well.

you should just join an alliance and grow a pair of balls.

edit: you can totally say fucktons on the forums!

Then enlighten me wich profession in eve let's you stay in one system the whole time gathering isk without the need to put any thought to it ?


Trade ? nope does require a lot of info browsing
Missions?Nope you need to jump systems for those a lot of times too
Wormholes?Same thing you have to scan a lot
Exploration?Same as wormholes
PVP?obvious why not
FW?mix of exploration , missions and pvp definatly not.





So , with your logic a person can not have ANY profession in eve then ? The only thing i can come up with is researching blueprints , that would be about the same time/thought input as the old ice mining and maybe PI .

i used to mine in a system with multiple ice belts, there were at least 2 multiboxers in the ice belt i mined in alone, i never cared to check the other but i assume that had at least one.

on patch day they were still there and i realised i couldn't compete with them, even with 2 anomaly spawns. so i moved. trust me, they're still out there.

I'm actually finding Ice to be much more interesting now - And more productive. Instead of a Mac, I'm using a Skiff, and getting abotu twice as much per spawn as I did before. The Skiff cycles faster, allows me to full up, dump the hold, and refill sometimes as many as four times before the spawn is annihilated.

The change keeps me engaged - having to move from cube to cube, manage my hold, and otherwise keep my eyes open is much superior to the old way of "show up, activate turrets, come back in 20 minutes."

I used to mine ice just to remind me why I hated mining. Now, I actually *check* for spawns, and if one is active, I'll re-ship and go after it.

Never get wealthy at ice mining, but that's what Wormholes are for.

There is an ice belt 2 jumps from my home station that is never touched. Just sitting there.

Of course this is in low sec. Might want to upgrade your game...and by game, I mean you.
