it wont inflict the market that much since it will require alot of hauling to get it to highsec. the only market that will be effected is the local markets in nullsec. but tbh every nullsec corp/alliance will prob use this ship to get people farm minerals for them so that they dont have to haul them from highsec with a high chance of getting popped.
it also gives miners a chance to get into nullsec without having to spend ages training combat skills while they dont want to

Though we have yet to see this supposed shift in behaviour which ideally was the reson for the change in the first place, granted I will let time run it's course, but the interesting shift in mineral prices is of note.

Doesn't address the added inflation due to increased bounties or the idea of removing resource possibilites form other areas of space regardless of how slight they are though.

However, I cannot deny the theoretical improvement that drone poo removal can shift to improve mining possibilities.

However, at the moment I'm simply capatalising on this with the combined efforts of the Hulkageddon influence, since as a result of something going on in the market, certain mineral prices and mining/hauler prices are increasing. It is certainly one to watch however, especially if it significantly starts to effect goods prices generally in the market as a result.


I haven't seen a post this well-worded or thoughtful for quite some time, it's good to see that good posters still persist "in our field".

Yes, I consider the inflation with the theoretical drone bounty to be a problem, in much the same way I consider incursions and Level 4 missions to be problems with regards to inflation. However, I feel it would be better not to suddenly just change the alloys to bounties- it would be much more preferable if another ISK sink was introduced to counteract the effects.

And "hulkageddon" or wtf it is this year, being arranged by the goons and all, doesn't really matter in the long run; an anti-miner campaign can only be sustained so long as the player populace doing the ganking has both the will and resources to do so; suddenly cutting off drone loot and making miners the 95% suppliers of minerals will make such campaigns untenable

In which case I'd see it as a significant imbalance in the game and the risk/reward model. As you are then not only heavily skewing yields but moreso in certain areas and making it easier or less risky to do so theoretically as I imagine is your intended design.

its a capital mining. its easily gankable and if all nullsec corps have one, will will balance itself. but good luck discussing the ow so worthy subject about drone region because you seem to like that more. i will stfu now and repost it tomorrow

No it wont balance itself out if all null corps have one, as what about those who arent in null sec idiot? (Completley missing the point again)

But please push for your mining "death star" of inequality and bankruptcy if that is what you really want either today or tomorrow. I know it wont be implemented as is as a proposal due to the meta issues associated with it.

first of all, if you read my post good, i said it can only be used in lowsec and nullsec
secondly, i used to be in nullsec mining almost all day long. we didnt hauled 1 trit of it to highsec cause we used it to build station and capitals. just like 99% of the miners in nullsec atm, they all use their minerals in that way.

so in conclusion, the only thing different will be that there will be more capitals and maybe more stations and less hauling. but it wont really affect the highsec markets since it cant be used in highsec and lowsec will prob be a bit risky since its still a capital.

and uhm, better not take this personal, that last statement you made is really not the point.

Trit is not the only mineral.

Of course it will effect the high sec market by "knock on effect". Either by flooding it with ABC minerals at a profit to the null seccers who have access to the new capital ship to mine it in larger quantities or any other mineral of relevance should they choose to do so. Also by virtue that there is less dependancy on the other areas markets as a result it also has an effect to it.

By virtue of making it less "gankable" by "regular" sub capital means and that it is a capital ship affords better possibilities for its use. And by removing the need to do this less hauling that you considered risky you are removing that consideration also.

Of course should these ships be "defensable" is certain alliances defended space then suddenly it becomes a seriously viable mining platform that significantly outstrips all others. By virtue of its creation you have assigned the possibility of assigning defensive measures for it. Especially as you are aware of it's value and potential risks. Thus affording a significant advantage to its deployment.

I suggest cleaning that crystal ball you have it seems to be covered in BS.

So it's only in nullsec then (because, honestly, low isn't worth it).

Anecdotal evidence, at best. But you're on the right track to some degree. I'd wager that whilst you (or your directors, whoever) didn't sell trit, you/your corp/your alliance sold highends, and used the isk to buy trit/lowends (or 425mm guns, or whatever else makes for good mineral compression).

More capitals are probably a "bad thing" (especially "more supers"). More stations are probably also a bad thing (hell, they seem pretty prevalent as it is already. Used to be lucky if you could get one to a region).

This can adversely affect the mineral markets in hisec (think about it ... rather than you buying 400m trit in Jita for your next toy, you mine it instead). Though, I wouldn't mind seeing trit prices come back down Blink

at the moment, most of the minerals is comming from the drone region, not form the other regions. simply because they use the minerals by there own to build ships, capitals and station. so this will not effect the market since (you said this yourself) drone region wont get these miners since they kill drones and get their minerals from the loot.

and a capital mining in lowsec is an easy pray since especially this one cant defend itself propperly. as you can see, it can only have 5 vespa's out. so there will only be a hand full mining in lowsec and selling it in highsec. and even if they do that, they will need a orca by there side so hau l for them since their own cargohold will have too few space to let it cycle 3 times.

therefor it will mostly be used in nullsec for own use (like i already said a few times now) and WONT EFFECT HIGHSEC THAT MUCH AS YOU THINK <- this time a little bigger since you appearently dont see this line.

so please, come with a valid argument.

all the minerals i mined was used in capital build and 1 station (1N-FJ8). and more capitals doesnt matter, since they are needed for battles in nullsec so they will eventually pop. and station, whats a bad thing about that?

roflysst ....... Erm, if you actually spent two seconds to actually read the topic you'd see that the drone regions or gun mining has been seriously nerfed due to crucible. That's really what part of the discussion was about and its knock on effects. As a result, now is probably a very good time for mining as a result of those changes. Way to go with knowing what your talking about.

And apart form that you are saying that to compensate for an imbalance in null sec is to make it worse?

no, so seem to be only focused on the fact that it will screw up the highsec economy, but i already said a few times that it wont. but you simply refuse to accept this and come up with more rediculous statements about how i "can" screw it up, which it wont.

atm mining in nullsec isnt done that much and even is it is, the minerals are used for own use in 99% of the cases. unless you come with good proof to say its otherwise, then please show me.

this ship is simply designed to give the miners a chance to get into eve alot easier and also help nullsec to fuel themselfs, just like W-space can be (although you might want to haul out of w-space once or twice a week to sell your loot).

So you are saying that virtually all the ABC minerals on the main hubs in high sec is supplied from non null sources. All the tech 2 and the moon goo items required to build them is supplied from outside of null sec. Roll

I would find that very hard to believe. However, seeing as you are using a figure to site a claim firstly please provide evidence that 99% is retained.

And I don't deny the designs to make things easier, this is why it supports by argument of making it an imbalancing proposal.

Unaware of any fueling capabilities in W-Space as far as I'm aware they are dependant on ICE from elsewhere. Also with the reduced mass capabilites afforded to worm holes it would likley mean that the required ships needed to successfully gank this capital might be limited as a result to sub capital class ships in WH space needed to effect them. (At least with the current designs, not if certain current CSM plans get underway of course).

indeed, they depend on ice (my mistake) but nevertheless it was only an example.
and i dont think many will build this capital in a wh, since no1 bothers about mining in a wormhole either. they dont even build that much rorquals in w-space.

the point is, that you claim that it will effect highsec mineral market and therefor alot other stuff. but tbh it wont, simply because there will only be a hand full that will bring those minerals over.

so either come up with some new arguments or just close your mouth and move on, because we are atm running in circles here....

im pritty sure i got more experience then you do. i at least played longer then 3 months ;-)
and btw, no1 can proof that this ship will or will not affect the market, since thats the future (and last i checked there is no way of going into the future).
but it seems that you are just out of arguments atm so you are trying to take it personal (aka "lack of knowledge or awareness about the game"), which is not that impressive and is not going to bring you any fame or what so ever.

so this discussion is over since you failed and went over to personal insults. good day.
