Give it a minigame everytime the miner cycles akin to exploration. The asteroid now spews "ores" for you to click in space to pick up. It's a fool proof plan that worked with exploration! Roll

I think if you could shoot other miners with mining lazors it would be more fun to mine.

You did say mining is boring and repetitive. How about this then:
Ghost Mines. Same as my idea above but if you fail it will spawn 500 npc catalysts zero on you with the same fitting as a gank cat if you fail the minigame. If you succeed the minigame it'll spew ore to fill the cargo hold of a barge. Alternatively if you run out of time it'll spawn 50 arty nado npc's ready to shoot at you with 5 scram frigs zero on you.

mining needs some type of minigame, anything really, connect the dots before the miner cycles to get more veldspar! anything you can do without have to be there doing it is not a game. i can't create my buy orders and come back in two hours to place sell orders and make guaranteed isk, i have to sit there, modifying the orders.. is that fair? that just because i find one type of boring less boring than another type of boring, i can't go afk? no, it's stupid, mining is stupid.

Miners need a vacation. Please remove ore from the game for 30 days. Thanks.

You guys are all whiners. Fine every time your miner cycles you play a minigame of tic tac toe to get the ore. If you lose you don't get any ore if you win you mine how much ore your miner can output.

than dont mine, i find it entertaining and relaxing when i know what my final product will be. other than that go do missions or something else for your isk if all you are doing is simply putting the mins for sale. I make about 1b a day when im not mining and about 100m a day when i do mine if i sale the mins.

Ive been mining at a large scale, but one thing drags it Down to shite... it takes forever. I dont have 2-4 hrs to mine everyday.



I can say the same thing about hauling. I dont have time to click WTZ every jump. Roll

Making mining faster would deplete belts quicker, so no I dont think mining needs an overhaul.

Personally I enjoy mining as a casual activity. I find it relaxing. But much like Hauling, if I get bored I go do somtheing else for awhile. If ALL you do is mine, then yes you are going to get bored.

So NO to player instant gratification needs. Sorry.

The real time it takes to mine minerals is what gives eve's mining it's value. If it was easy, if it was fast, everyone would do it... and the economy would suck like most other games. If you don't like how long it take to mine, there are things you can do that take less time and earn faster. Do those things and buy the minerals from people who have more time to mine than you.

Or we could just hide mines in asteroid fields for the unexpected BOOM!! every now and then.

Did I mention the mines can damage your ship?Twisted
