Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi

Playing In EVE is very boring or ultra fast. One of boring stuff in game is mining. Players who do this mining semiAFK or have multi accounts or use boots.
I propose to solve this problem by adds one more options “Harvesting Ore”. The operation would involve new group of ships that go to ore belt grab rock and bring the rock to station or reprocessing ship.
- They will be all variety of ships (frig/cruiser/battleship/capital hull size)
- This rock that not fill to battleship class ship will be blasting by mining team ascending on the rock and drilling holes and blow them
- Capital class ship will have mining teams that blows rock (some kind of fighters?) and will have reprocessing arrays that can reprocess rock in system that don’t have stations
- Reprocessing ore will take longer than usually mining, in this way this method don’t destroy standard mining options, will be only alternative to this, players who don’t have all day to sitting in ore belt
In this way gathering minerals will not be the boring thin to do in game, and add to operations that take only partial of playing time in EVE, like PI, BPO research, production, buy/sell stuff.

How is what you propose much different than what happens now?

Basically, he wants the ability to scoop up asteroids, take them back to the station/citadel/POS, start the reprocessing/mining cycle, and then go off to do other things that are more "interesting."

Oh... and a capital ship that can reprocess rocks without the aid of a station/citadel/POS.


From a "hunter-prey" perspective, I am going to say no to this idea. It means that there will be less people in space and thus less targets to hunt down.

The reprocessing capital idea isn't too bad... however the yield it produces will have to be balanced carefully so it is better than an NPC station (to encourage people to fly them... thus putting themselves in space and at more risk), but doesn't step on the toes of citadels/POSs (which are fixed, destructible assets).

I don't kill people, I disassemble their ships and they try to stop me doing that. Then they get mad and drop carriers on me, then the carrier goes poof. The End.

actually no, ill define what i find fun for myself and you do so for yourself ,
such is the subjective nature of things we do to pass time.

for hunting, sheep will dojust fine in the absence of wolves.

if i want a fight thats a different matter and i would concede you have a point
but casual hunting miners is a time honored pastime here.
