I have sp in Lasers. I want to be able to use missiles like lasers. It's not fair all my sp in guns is wasted cuz I can't use missiles like lasers.

It's not fair that the rats in 0.0 are worth more than the ones i shoot in .6. My rat income is far lower than Joe's and that isn't fair he can use missiles and i can't use lasers like missiles to shoot the unfair rats in 0.6.



Drop the minerals out of the drones, and give bounties and related gear drops. Reshuffle the moons and drone regions to get some war going and all that.

CCP is planning to remove minerals from drones and give bounties instead eventually, see the minutes and forum posts.

Final Edit:

It seems as though at least some of the miners want CCP to look at the way mining works. If so, then CCP should look at mining in detail, and not rush out a fix that does more harm than good. Thus:

ArrowShort term - Increase the alloy drops from drone horde battleships so that the ISK per minute is equal to what it was before the drone horde "fix." That won't have any additional effect on the game mineral supply, but will simply return us to the situation before Crucible. No-one will win, and no-one will lose, and everyone can be equally unhappy, which will give you time to get things sorted.

ArrowLong term - Look at all the data you have available and decide on a good long-term plan for both the drone regions and for mining, then dedicate the necessary resources to implement it.


This quote is from the russian eve-online part. And before you need to click my link a site before this ill just copy and paste my post from there to here.....tadaa:


And all the miners.....why do you complain?
The mineral prices are rising and I guess we will be back around 5 Isk per Tritanium unit in several weeks.
That´s the highest price since years, as far as I know.

So you guys want to tell me that you can´t make enough Isk and point on the drone region, that are broken since the beginning, to search for the bad witch to burn?
Well let her burn and you will see what that´s gonna lead us to.
And if you don´t like the Plex prices atm, then don´t come and tell me you don´t like to pay a billion for an Orca in the future.

I think the influence of drone alloy on the whole market is bigger than we all think.
And if you remove the drops than there will be a shortage of tritanium and the other low-end stuff, because you can´t mine that ammount of low end that is demanded by the market to keep the prices at the level they are now with normal hiddens and ast. belts.
Hell there isn´t even enough tritanium in one system to build a supercapital....but well ok that would lead to less SC builds....that´s a point Iam ok with, demand is too low since the patch anyways. ;)

So please CCP, first off: Start to repair the drone regions, and then let´s think about improvements and addaptions. But dont rush this Idea because some selfish miners are crying.
Whatever you will do they keep on crying, that´s the way most miners are. =)
Oh and on a side note, in our drone region are enough miners active and they earn a lot of ISK....ok maybe you need a little fleet of 3-5 men/woman, but you can pull out a lot since the hiddens where introduced.
So stop complaining and get your stuff sorted.
