EVE General Discussion

Spoken like somebody who's never had to go scan down moons, also it removes the desire to fight over space.

By the time you probe the moons, set up the miners and get everything going the moon moves, so you have to tear everything down and start again.

Regional conflicts would simply die, why bother fighting over space, just wait for the moons to come back around, or even worse, by the time a war gets under way, the moons have moved making the war a moot point

If only your posting could be nerfed.

Buffed alchemy and additional alchemy reactions is the best alternative.

Comet mining with ships yielding moongoo among other things would also be a somewhat decent alternative.

You could also seed w-space with moongoo, since all of it is blank.
Just seed enough of each material type so that the total moon mineral count ratio for each one is much closer to the overall game consumption ratio.

Sry...
Leave rifters alone....

Better now ?

We got all our moons before there were easily found list of all moon resources so I have scanned myself blind. Right now I'm not sure what anyone does with a moon probe anymore.

I don't propose that they deplete monthly but over time and eventually they deplete entirely (the more I think about it maybe the just end up with crappy yields and the material is "discovered" with good yield on a new moon, rinse and repeat). The the fight moves somewhere else every couple of months. For the amount of ISKs a tech moon makes there will be searching and fighting for sure! Isn't a more dynamic 0.0 what everyone claims to want?

Issler

let's have mission stations vanish from systems and reappear in others

how did nobody mock this idiot on the first page for not knowing literally the first thing about moon mining: you can't mine the same mineral twice on a single moon.

ssst, dont tell ccp or they dont fix it wthin next year. funny though it took 640 vieuw before someone actualy noticed it

If a powerful group has taken all the moons, or several groups own them and have made some kind of pact, then what is broken? That is the very nature of eve, politics and military might in action. It may suck, and make it tough for anyone else to muscle in, but they've made it to that position by themselves.

If the income was distributed across other moons, they'd just take them too. If you want it, bundle up with a group of badasses, and coordinate attacks in many places at once, then share the wealth amongst your new cartel.

TLDR: HTFU

I think a lot of you are missing a core point of real life and eve economy. The golden rule says "the one who has the gold, makes the rules".

Do you know how long have those moons producing those ammounts of isk been in the same hands? A long time is an anwser satisfactory for me...

Now imagine, what kind of money reserves those alliances got.

If you scatter the moons they will still be in the exact same hands... Hire a thousand or two thousand people to scan for those moons for the next month all over new eden? Whatever.... So what? They won't even blink throwing a 100m/h for those people.

And when they see where they are, they gonna own the system and you won't even dare to put a finger on the tech moon. Ther's no way you can stop this trend now, unless something becomes internally broken in the system.

It's like the USA and the hunt for oil. At all cost, everywhere, no matter the losses. Because it's worth it. Hire mercs? Sure... Send own troops? Not really, but also no problem.

If something can change the current situation it's the economical crysis, but I can't imagien what would have to happen to diminish the moon goo value, except making it easy accessible in huge quantities to everyone. And that is probably one of the worst ideas possible.
