I warp in to every belt in system and EVERY +% ore has been reduced to less than 1 cycle of ore. Like someone came in and just cycled their strip miner once and jumped to the next rock, Why not cycle and pulse until they got all? Laziness?
Someone shed some light on this for me. Im not quite getting the mentality behind this. Is it just to grief? is it actually a better more efficient way to mine?
lame I say!

you are mining in the wrong place. try to find a less well traveled belt in a lower sec region.

full on newb sec. Which makes it even more weird that someone would be hanging around in newbsec doing that.
But I guess I understand the 'logic'
I mean mining is boring already, I cant imagine all the point and click doing it this way.
this isn't a whine fest either- I was just trying to figure out what the heck was going on

that is your problem.. you are hanging out in a noob sect belt. those rocks were never that big to begin with.

You know... I never noticed this until today. Irritated the hell out of me... until I moved to another belt.

So I'm mining a rock, the rock has 19k units in it. My strip miner takes 8.25k per cycle, that means that I can only get 2 full cycles from it. So why not afk mine for 2 cycles and when 2nd cycle is up stop the strip miner, select the next rock and start the strip miner on the next rock. Who has the time to constantly work out the percentage of a cycle it will take to pop that rock?

Maybe pissing you off is the plan.

Maybe they think the next downtime increase in ore will be better if the rocks are already there to be added to.

Maybe they don't want to half-cycle a T2 crystal.
