A Suggestion For "Rogue Drone Asteroid Infestation"

Hi! I find that I tend to skip these unlike other 3/10s because, frankly, they aren't that much of a challenge for a cruiser. I was wondering if perhaps the difficulty could be dialed up a bit, maybe add a Sentient boss to the mix as well to improve the loot table a little? Or maybe this site just has another intention that doesn't really apply to what I'm wanting to do out here. If it's that, just ignore this, I guess.

Thanks! o/

I feel the rogue drones sites in general are in a bad place, I think they should add more mining asteroids and chance to have rare asteroids to them. As they are easier more mining players might be willing to go for them instead of other combat sites so they can get some good mining asteroids. So they have a place instead of just being the most over looked site.

this would be a reasonable change. turn them into a sort of hybrid combat/ore site. I like it.

although while I think the quality of ore should be higher, the quantity should be kept fairly low. a miner shouldn't be able to pop a single one of these sites and then just sit there for the rest of the day. I'd say maybe 10-15 minutes with a barge or something like that.
