I would like it if Aura said "this asteroid has been depleted" or something to that effect when an asteroid depleted by mining drones is depleted. It has a voice notification when an asteroid is depleted by hi-slot lasers, I would be fine with the same voice notification for drones depleting an asteroid as well. TY,

If you're paying attention, you don't need this.

If you're not paying attention, why should you get the benefits of someone paying attention.

My suggestion is to remove the alert from mining lasers altogether. AFK playstyles should not be buffed or promoted in any way.

Clearly it is not AFK if you are around to hear it.

But heck, maybe you are right. People should just pay more attention. In fact, let's remove all the alerts. Your module has run out of charges? That's something someone who is paying attention ought to know! Why should people who don't see that the module has run out of charges and deactivated gain this unnecessary advantage?

reductio ad absurdum is never the way to go if you want your point to be taken seriously.

Mining is by far the biggest playstyle that's done while AFK. An audio notification of an asteroid being depleted means you can simply alt-tab back from netflix to take 5 seconds and pick a new rock to mine. Someone shooting someone isn't alt-tabbed.

Maybe he is right and all the alerts should be removed all togeather

"In logic, reductio ad absurdum is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous, absurd, or impractical conclusion, or to prove one by showing that if it were not true, the result would be absurd or impossible. Traced back to classical Greek philosophy in Aristotle's Prior Analytics, this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning, as well as in debate."

Yup. What you used though was exaggeration to the point of absurdity, which I think is what Sonya meant to use.
