Miners need some love

Lets see

- Orca
- Orca with hangar meaning they don't need to use jetcans to transfer ore
- crimewatch system massively favours miners
- crimewatch doesn't require you to be in the same corp anymore to defend assets, meaning less wardec issues
- massively improved CONCORD
- making insurance variable rather than fixed, meaning mineral prices are no longer held back by it
- Venture
- massive changes to mining ships, massively more EHP and an ore hold so that even the dumbest miner can now make the choice to fit a DC and shield extender rigs

I'd say that miners have been getting too much love over the years.


Excellence is an attitude.

Make mining active like how hacking cans is, would get rid of AFKers easy as can be

Also I'd abuse that mining structure to hell that Max proposed if something like that was added, I'll put them up in major mining systems and kill unsuspecting miners left and right if that's introduced...


uhm that was the point....at least more so for those corps that want control of the belts where they live.

I think Null and Low sec mining needs to be worth more. Low sec should be able to pull in just as much as a incursion (LP included) and null sec mining should pull in as much as lvl 5 missions. Matches the risk vs rewards and gives me more stuff to shoot at. Increase rewards in low and null=more miners trying to mine and more hunters roaming. Win Win

P.S. i don't see how miners can sit in a belt and mine. you get a cloakie ship or a recon ship and you're done for. d scan wont help you and you will have to run and hide if anyone came in system. Doesn't make any sense with the risk vs reward at its current state. Its boring and take way to much time. hinting why there is so many problems with afk mining. Increase the rewards in those spaces will give better game play (don't forget to reduce high sec mining)

But null sec is already rewarded by abc ores which you can't find in empire and low sec. As well as ability to boost up with rorq+orcas bonuses. Ofc you have to manage index's but it's not a biggie issue. If we are talking about smaller gangs or either solo individuals the low secnis the right place.

Want minerals to be worth more? reduce the flow of them. Best way to do this? Support ganking.

OR... increase demand. You could increase the mineral costs of all items by 20% and minters would make more per hour. Or you could do what Fozzie mentioned at Fanfest and change up the composition and make certain minerals more valuable because of increased demand.

Zydrine and megacyte are supposed to doubled in quantity in nearly every blueprint of the game with next expansion, but it's only a nullsec buff, for all over highsec it will become even worse to produce with a decent benefit.
