So what exactly is CCP doing about NPC drones in the Drone regions?

I have allways thought of drone 0.0 space and any drome related missions to be a compleat waste of time and server space.

Not that I mind, but what other faucet would you replace it with?

I support this. There's no real reason not to. Just put the basic bounties on them like all other parts of space. With the isk faucet opened so wide with incursions, at this point, who cares if mores coming in.

"get rid of mineral drops from drones" say the hardcore pvpers...

I wanna see the hardcore pvpers paying +50% on each single ship they buy because A - miners are ganked B - no drone minerals C - mining is boring (what most people think any way).

It's all working fine. The drone regions are still the worst place to pve in eve, don't make it a desert where even russian bots won't want to live...

That would be the most obvious one, sure. Though looking at the big picture the last thing that EVE needs is another giant ISK faucet. And, off course, the drone regions would lose their uniqueness.

Somehow I don't think one more region of the same bounties all the other regions have is gonna destabilize things.

At least not near as much as Drone Poop has destabilized Mining.

As for Unique...

Better a simple solution that gets things done then a unique one that has negative effects.

There is a reason were flying around in 747's instead of really cool Zeppelins. There is no Reason a Raven should be able to out mine a Hulk.

I agree that simple solutions can be useful, like in your fork set example in the previous post.

Just an fyi, that 747 is infinitely more complex than a Zeppelin.

CCP can be lazy and replace it with ISK...
one more region with same ISK faucet as all others would not make ISK value less at all...
and when we have incursions on incursions on incursions... that change will have infuence of 0%...
and it would SAVE minerals market...

Or CCP can be smart and make some other value thing in EVE that can be exchanged (like LP or LP or tags) or sold on market (like parts or blueprints for production)...
But no point to do second thing and waste DEV time when other things make 99,9% of the problem...

This way you solve at least one problem, devaluation of minerals and goods...

And for all that ppl that will call me "carebear" for this said... (i dont know why some ppl are calling others like that when they rase this subject... but...)
Who is biggest carebear?
I can not think of bigger carebear that that one that mine in BS...

about "Unique"...
You can have unique things in your house when you have all the rest what you need and dont need for living...
and eve only what have in infinite amounts are problems... so solve them and then add unique things (and don't beak it all again).

You can eliminate uniqueness in the name of progress, but in the end you risk being left with a generic landscape without any character, unable to foster attachment or any sense of scale and wonder required for immersion.

drone regions need to be changed, how, i am not 100% sure but i do think give the npc bountys and bring the alloys inine with module drops from the other nul sec regions.

if a sanctum gave 2m trit a horde woould give 2m trit in alloys

the drone region would still be unique as no other region has the alloys but would cut the mins going to market as the sites drop less and their is a chance that players wouldn't even clear the sites.

eve is about sin
