Null ratting and even lvl 4 mission running in high sec makes by far more then mining does.

My solution is make FACTION ASTEROIDS, Devs make it happen !

The trouble is, miners don't "make" ISK. They try and convince me to give them mine.

Any balance to mining should be to spread ISK, not create it. I don't buy minerals because I do more than I want to help a null bear sit in thier titan and play God. I don't begrudge them game in Null. I do resent thier arrogance.

If drones can have bounties, then asteroids can have bounties.

They can drop mining implants, and im not talking about those mining hardwirings that already exist, im talking implants like Slave or Crystal!

there should only be 1 belt per system and roids should have bounties and should be constantly moving.

I have more space likes than you.

There should be uranium asteroids that the EVE UN pays you to pop lest they fall into the wrong hands.

There should be ISK asteroids that are comprised of ISK not minerals. They have bounties and drop faction and officer loot while officer spawns that have no weapons spawn in their belts.

Once upon a time threads being made here and people replying to said threads were entertaining.

Now its all about canned responses.

Faction asteriods? what asteriods are secretly sapient and have social clubs, maybe at some point they group together and smash hulks?... you know theres a fun horror movie for cap miners in-game Smile

but no thats silly, mining is the way it is because its mostly safe, other than NPC pirates, which are EASILY dealt with, the occasional loser ganker with nothing better to do (unless its a strategic attack on an enemy... THEN it makes sense), i mean unless your ship is tanked very well and/or have gangs missions KILL your ships here and there.

its reward VS risk, its one of the biggest reasons for going into lower-sec, the missions and ore pay ALOT better.

Occupy the asteroids!

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Why should a low-effort activity that can mostly be done AFK actually be rewarding?

If you want faction roids to shoot lazorz at and make more isk, I demand faction idiot posters to laugh at and make more isk.

Seems fair.

Another person bitter that they cannot be in the US Congress.

Now making it possible to hollow out an asteroid as a storage unit for 0.0 operations would be cool. "We found a stash, call in Da HULK!'
