EVE General Discussion

Option 1 is just balance tech Moons and bring them in line with the rest of moon goo plus enhance alchemy so you can make technium...

Option 2. Remove moon minning from Pos (requires Gal to be changed) and replace it with Dynamic MI (A replica of PI) this would also affect dust eventually as you would be able to fight on moons...


edit option 3:

Make moons deplete and respawn in another region each time. Force people to actually do the scanning and work required to obtain that rediculous income that currently comes far too easy. If you wanna whine and complain about how much work moon scanning is...grow some balls.

not sure ... But i heard the biggest problem about moon mining is tied to tech 2 manufacturing.. but as i said i do not know.

The problem is it's far to easy for vets and alliances to hold 0.0 space that's why they have such a ******** advantage, CCP should snub any attempts made by them to make the game even easier.

Monster blob of what ? Rifters ??

You cant build supercaps without sov, you cant take sov without supercaps, circle of life ends.

The thing is, technetium is literally in everything T2. No amount of rejiggering will wipe away the fact that it is a bottleneck material. Even if it is, some other material will be the bottleneck next, with howls to nerf it too. The one bright spot in the first proposal is to enhance alchemy so that you can make technetium. This widens the tech base and removes the region specificity of tech. (If you have the right moons/reactions you can make tech anywhere.)

Your second option, does not address the fact that tech is a region specific material only available in the North. (something CCP has stated they want to keep) Although the MI idea has some merit, the logistics of it on an alliance level would be staggering. I myself have one character doing PI on five planets, and it is a tedious clickfest, now extrapolate that to 10, 20, 40 or even 70 moons. If you want no or very few moon materials, which would make T2 prices go through the roof, then by all means implement a PI clone for moons.

The only good idea is the expansion of alchemy to produce all the rarities of moon materials. All your other ideas, are horrible, or ill informed drivel.

This!!!
Just make depletion slow so that its worth fighting for... like 3 months of exploatation and the moon is dead and spawns in other region.
Its worth fighting for and its dynamic.

Once again moons are brought up by someone who doesn't understand what they are talking about.

Moons (for the most part) are fine, perhaps they could do with some balancing along the lines of distribution, but the actual mechanic is not the problem.

Anyone, ANYONE in Eve can hold a tech moon, you just need to organize and motivate several thousand people, and push them into a fight with several thousand other people who would rather keep that moon for themselves. I know many people like yourself believe that they are entitled to "easy" isk, a "level" playing field, shouldn't be forced to have to interact with other players, leave the safety of empire, or god forbid fight/PVP to protect or take a slice of the rewards because you're a special little snowflake.

Eve is unfair, just like real life. Deal with it or play something else. Simples

All they need is redistributing, eve needs high value income sources or there will be nothing to drive conflict, if anything other moons value should be increased at the expense of the ISK facets like ratting and missions to help drive conflict in smaller groups (without affecting tech value)

OP doesn't think about what is good for the game, only himself.

Moon mining should be moved to hisec, so that nullsec carebears will actually have to compete with others and lose their RISK FREE income.

All resource harvesting should be done by a piloted ship. I don't see why some people complain that someone might be afk mining in a hulk, when there are huge piles of raw materials that are gathered not only while afk, but the "miner" doesn't even have to log in!

Make moon mining need a ship like a modified Rorqual - Capital Class Miners.

(and yes, I think PI should have something similar done as well)
