+9001 to ∞ & ------------------------------------------>

I've always been a bit miffed at the fact that there are no comets in New Eden. There's nothing in the "Lore" that has attempted to explain away the absence as far as I've seen.

My additional hopes for Cometary Interaction would ideally be that it's designed from the start so that:


  • it can't be done by AFK'ers (mining needs an injection of adrenaline, not a tranquilizer);
  • botters/macro'ers don't stand a chance to overcome the randomness in the spawn interval, location, nor composition;
  • it requires actual team play between multiple actual players;
  • it's more difficult for single players using outrageous isboxer/multi-boxer fleets, due to levels of constant interaction (e.g. avoiding damage, having to maneuver around as random zones of the comet are depleted/exhausted, forcing rescans of remaining resources)



Just my 0.02 ISK input.

    • No, I do not think it is a good idea to ban solo players from mining.

    Some CCP dev asked why people post ideas on reddit .... this is one of the answers.
    Good idea, tons of people supporting it over a years, yet no one in CCP cares.

    Stop discrimination, help in a fight against terrorists

    Personally, I've always thought ice belts should have been comets.

    it can promote both solo and team play. Team would just make it easier. This should be implemented.. and i think i might copy this post to reddit for more support

    I support this idea, more opportunities for players all around. Also breaking the Null stranglehold on Moon Goo might not be the worst thing ever.

    I really like this idea.

    I would even suggest that CCP should take more inspiration from real space phenomena and celestial bodies for more diverse activities in Eve. Eve is already one of the divers games out there but more is always better :)

    I love this idea and would love to see more!

    Also, let the planets move in their orbits AND let the comet be in an hyperbolic orbit entering and leaving the system.

    This is a good time to remind everyone what /u/Sagebrysh just did. Good ideas belong on the forums just to make sure they don't scroll past us all into internet infinity or obscurity.

    ...and IB4 ISD locks this thread for Necroing

    Ahhh the OP is indeed correct , we were promised System wide asteroid fields, and comets were to become a thing, and mineable..

    All came to nothing...

    Years ago on SISI, the devs spawned in some amazing stuff, fire comets- giant electric / green tornado storms, they were EPIC.. again came to nothing.
