Exactly. While 0.0 really only mine the ABCs highsec is the bottleneck for all of the low ends. That is why mining in highsec (esp mining veld) still remains profitable and there are still teams of guys (and bots I assume) flying around targeting purely veld and scordite.


not entirely true. they have to mine everything in a grav site they have no choice about that, the issue is that there's simply no low ends in a large grav site and the overall value of that grav site is brought down by having to mine terrible ores like spod/gneiss.

however the mineral composition of a large grav site is very biased towards ABC minerals, megacyte and zydrine.

adding more low end minerals to terrible ores like gneiss/spod would be an excellent way to solve this problem but i and many other people have written about it a lot and most of them more eloquently than i. also, i don't want to derail this thread too much so i won't get in to it here.

I actually didn't know it was exactly like that. Thanks :D

it probably won't be for long, with odyssey set to address resource distribution and all...
although until fanfest we have no idea what changes will happen.

In five years of mining, I've hardily ever run out of rocks; and then only on Weekends.
Find a dead end system at least 15 jumps out of the major hubs; I can garantee that Verge Vendor has tonnes of unmined belts.

Verge is good, Everyshore is simply dead (good), Amarr space is alright, lowsec (aridia, Molden Heath, Metropolis, Heimatar) is great...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia
