Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Wait, why should HS + LS get more lucrative ores even though... espically in high-sec's case, whe there is a lot less risk involved in the process of mining the ore. With risk, there comes reward, and null-sec is a lot more risky than high-sec unless you are hauling 3b+ worth of junk in a charon. CCP wants people to risk more to get more, not the other way around.

Didn't you get the memo? It's so safe in nullsec and so lucrative to mine that it's horribly unfair, despite all the effort and isk and time that goes into obtaining, upgrading, and protecting it.

this entire post is basically "i know i'm completely wrong and can't support my argument in any sensible way so i'm going to try to debate pointless details in the hope that someone thinks they're relevant"

"you see, if you ignore all sensible ways of thinking and instead adopt reasoning so stupid even the dimmest of bulbs don't reach for it unless it's literally the only thing that gets you to the result you want, then the situation becomes somewhat ambiguious. let us all debate things according to my obviously pointless approach and hope that people forget how to think"

if an activity is possible in a cosmic sense and pointless, that is irrelevant in a game

Nah. Truesec plays a part in giving you boosted anoms with +5% and +10% variants.

Except they do just that. Assuming of course NS folks actually learns where the undock button is while sitting in Mining vessels.

Might I ask, what is the actual intended purpose of these changes then? If not to make NS more self sufficient, at the obvious cost to LS and HS regions?


edit
and if these changes do not make NS fully self sufficient (which they don't) why can we not also have anoms available in HS and LS that have ore with Megacyte and Zydrine? It won't make them fully self sufficient, but it will decrease the dependency on NS importing...which is as far as I can tell the whole point of the changes to NS ore, less requirement to import from HS/LS.

"more" does not equal "fully."

Do you have a better idea for weaning nullsec off Jita?

I do actually.

Make LS the primary source for all Low End minerals in the belts, with Mid and High End Anoms. To encourage more day tripping by miners from both NS and HS, and creating a real required network of trading between all 3 regions of space.

(NS would retain their High Ends, while HS will take on the mid ends from LS)

Essentially LS would have access to all minerals either in the belts, or in anoms. NS and HS folks can come get them much more readily than NS>Market Hub, or HS>NS ninja mining.

- Increases LS traffic
- Increases LS population
- Increases LS production

Like any good economy...grow from the middle out, not the top down.

I'm thinking I'd have preferred ore in losec to be buffed. This would have put losec in the centre of ore trade between hi and null and boosted losec population potentially.
