Maybe it's relevant maybe it's not, but I posted this yesterday before noticing this thread. I had an idea about keeping drone regions somewhat profitable to those who live there, and in addition a way to buff the industrialists, as they've been getting short-changed for ages.

tl:dr change the drops from drones from salvagable/refinable, to turn-ins (like dog-tags) for LP with a new/existing NPC corp. Giving you droners a slightly less complicated ISK stream, and giving miners back the right to produce a lot of the minerals, and hopefully increasing there earning potential as well.

Gotta love the reds trolling a thread on drone space when they live in npc space and survive mainly off of moon goo.

As it sits, the bunker hordes are the same as patrols and the original wave hordes.
Originally, the sites could be run with a carrier and noctis team in roughly 10-15 minutes for a total of 30mil isk in drone poo.
This has now been nerfed so that it takes about 20 minutes for 20mil isk in drone poo.

For this risk, this is a terrible return...especially when compared to bounty space.

While I agree that 0.0 space is not meant to all be balanced, with certain regions being more valuable than others, I belive that 0.0 should mean that you get better returns for the risk of being in 0.0 space when compared to highsec and lowsec (100mil isk/hr for incursions).

Hell...even tech moons get roughly 15bil isk / month per moon...and most of them are in bounty space.

For those who say that I should just move to better space.... I disagree because I am part of a corp and alliance that I enjoy being a part of. The space that I'm in is where I want to stay and I will continue to find ways of maximizing the resources available to me. This is what was done with drone hordes (discovering the most efficient means of generating isk/hr) and will continue to do so until CCP decides to nerf all of my abilities in generating isk to pay for my gametime.
