The deployable Mining Depot.

The Mining Depot would be similar in size to a Mobile depot.

You would have to learn to use the Mining Depot through the use of the skill book "Mining Depot". You may deploy one (1)
depot per skill level.

The Mining Depot would use Mining drones. You can load one (1) mining drone into the Mining Depot through the learning
of the skill "Mining Depot Drones". Each skill level would add 05.0 m3 to the depot for a maximum of 25.0 m3. Only mining drones can be added to the depot drone bay.

The Mining Depot would have a ore capacity of 20,000 m

The life span of the Mining Depot would be 2 days

The Mining Depot defences;
Shield Capacity - 15000 HP
Structure HP - 17500 HP
Armor HP - 15000 HP

Although the Mining Depot would be heavily armored, it would not be impervious to attack or destruction. However, atacking a
Mining Depot would cause an attacking pilot to turn "suspect" and able to be attacked.

The end user would have to pre-select which ore type the drones would be mining and would have a preset range of 60km from the Mining Depot.

Further, the need to "anchor" the depot, similar to "Secure Containers" is required. The skill "Anchoring" is needed for that skill. There would be a 15 second anchoring and unachoring time.


I thought such things were called Procurer or skiff.


We need less afk activitys, we need more active things.

Really mining is such an easy way to make isk while doing others stuff. That needs to change not making it more easy to get passive isk.

"Really mining is such an easy way to make isk while doing others stuff. That needs to change not making it more easy to get passive isk."

So Industry is an activity that should go away, as you manufacture items in a factory while your out doing other stuff.
Planetary Interaction is another activity that needs to go away as you mine a planet while your out doing something else. Both of which continue even after your logged off. The MARKETPLACE needs to go away. That is a breeding ground for AFKer's. You can put items for sale and go do other stuff or even log from the game. I am sure there are many other activites that are ISK making ventures that happen while your off doing something else or logged from the game. So really, all that needs to change, and not make it easier to make passive ISK. My intension of a Mining Depot was not to mine AFK, because I dont. It's other people that ASSUME they know other peoples intensions.

I like pink unicorn's idea, with the addition that anyone can take from the siphon

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.
