Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Careful there, don't associate the two, they have nothing directly to do with each other. Mining is more comparable to missioning. Industry is just another tool in the "market activities" category. As for mining, I'll confess I was trolling miners a bit here. That said it's also a true statement for almost everyone that wound up training it. Sure you have those few rare people that actually enjoy it. Most though trained those skills when they were new and didn't understand the game, as the starting tutorials kinda point people at mining and missioning, so it's an easy trap to fall into. Most people would not trade 5? mil sp for the ability to engage in nearly the worst isk/hr activity in the game.


In highsec, like other anchorable structures you would need a wardec to have enough time to take them down. So yes they certainly would not be suicide gankable. Though I do imagine them to be fairly cheap, 30 mil or so, and have no reinforcement timer.


It's true actually. I don't have a problem with "automatic mining" (naturally). More importantly, when something is commonly a target for botting, it's probably an indication of a weak gameplay mechanic.


The value of ore is determined by supply, demand, and manipulation. Nobody cares how much *you* value it personally. So long as the gameplay balances it correctly, the prices would not drastically change over the long run.

This idea completely fails with regards to wormhole living. Have to side with the "no" crowd.

You idiot, nobody likes killing moon harvester arrays, so who would want to kill a veldspar mining piece of skate?

You know, I think I stepped in something earlier that adds about as much value and depth as this suggested idea.

It was a pile of dog ****.

You can give me your stuff now.
