Any comment on the mass purchase of Hypersynaptic Fibers after the CSM summit.

Something you want to investigate CCP?

The key to this new system generating content is that it must be relatively easy to ninja loot the ore fields of weak moon mining operations.

If folks living out in null sec, good hard working pirates and the like, can't get in and steal themselves some good moon ore, well the system is broken. There will be no content and the whole thing will be just another inflationary nerf. If the pirates can steal the ore, well then the moon miners just got RAPED as well as nerfed. I mean, they will be out of business. If they are paying for ice to fuel the mining module and then pirates steal all their good ore and wreck a few barges for lols......

Game over, man. Game over.

And so that cant happen and so it wont be possible to steal moon goo effectively because null bears.

Once again, the wizards of CCP have set up a game mechanic that is vulnerable to blobs and extraordinarily time consuming, in return for no actual improvement in the actual game, as it stands.

They have literally unveiled mining as the great new game play mechanic. The names of the asteroids have been changed.

You wot?

You have had years of meetings. Thousands of man hours.

So that you all could rebrand the SAME MINING MECHANIC and pass it off as the next big thing.

Does anyone at CCP do any work at all anymore?

I for one support this change. Making moon mining impossible for anyone except massive alliances will help fill goon coffers

So you mean a RORQUAL?

My initial thoughts on these proposed changes are that it penalises small, specialised corporations and alliances whilst simultaneously making a lot easier for the larger alliances with support networks, either rental alliances or diversified memberships. More money going to the select few which exacerbates the problems in Eve.

My corporation has a modest moon mining operation. It pays the bills and limited SRP for our members. We are not rich to begin with and, being specialised as PvP, make less per month than your average incursion runner makes in a day. Similarly, our Alliance isn't big. like us it's specialised along PvP lines. We don't have copious amounts of Titans, our R64s pay for a modest SRP programme to help everyone enjoy doing what they do.

We now need to diversify and find miners. Miners aren't going to mine for nothing so our already modest income is going to take a significant hit. It means we become less attractive for players than larger alliances whose income will barely be affected with this proposed change. If lots of small, independant alliances go under and all Eve is left with is large power blocs, then the game stagnates which not only does that undermine what the new sov attempted to achieve but how is it possibly going to be healthy for the game.

I understand what you're trying to achieve here and I'm fully onboard with having more people in space, it's what the game's desperately needed for years now, but that has to be balanced against the harm you're going to do to those who don't want to be part of major power blocs. You need to find some way to shift the balance of income so it's spread out more evenly across a more diverse player base rather than trying to force square pegs into round holes.

That moon goo would have to be astronomically lucrative to bother trying to steal it. Think like vital core deposit x 5.

Mining is not fun. It's what you do to get started in the game and if it's your thing, you skill into a Rorq.

I do have to give credit for Rorqs and excavators. A fine example of making a living wage available to the dedicated single account miner.

Now put him at a set place at a set time... fun fun.

You can't escape isk per hour. Going 22 jumps for a prospect full of ore aint gonna happen and everyone is going to have more than enough mining that has to be done in their own systems to bother fleeting to someone else's to mine.

I want to play on my main account! Yeah, I'll sub a few alts for cynos or trade, but multibox mining, multi-box indy, multi-box anything really is not fun. You do it because you have to.

Just let me collect my moon stuffs from my pos's (or new cit-thingie) on my main so when I hear there's a fight going on, I dock, reship, and go. I can talk in alliance and people know who the hell I am. Why the need for three accounts to run 30 reactions when one account can now?

Why open up reacting to every Tom, ****, and Harry who can buy a bpo? It just adds another step to the t2 process.. react mats, build components, build ships instead of just starting from building components. This is fun? To what end? The moon guy had a role to play in his alliance, like the FC, the indy director, etc.. now we're all gonna be miners :(

This does not stop the rich from getting richer. Massive multibox fleets of alts that don't care about their killboards will mine these rocks relatively undefended and the ship losses added to a spreadsheet and accounted for in the sell price. Cost of doing business.

Everyone go to Jita and fire your mining lasers at the monument. NO MORE MINING

Oh, I almost forgot.......can Alpha clones be part of all this sweetness?

Moon Drilling/Mining in Wormholes and even High Sec please, that would be really amazing for the game new content for all is what we are looking for.

Even if the materials are restricted in High Sec to what are currently R8, R16 and Gases I don't see that necessary breaking the market seeing as someone has to mine it unlike the current press start and wait..

WHs are prefect for this type of mining, also more content for everyone, and I don't just mean the miners .

My point exactly, but its downed out by the random 3 man groups who now are super excited about grabbing there 1 money moon, while med sized alliance die over funding because we cant chuck 3/4 of our member base into mining fleets.

So the large number of moons being freed up because of a need for active mining is somehow going to make "stagnation" worse?
