Edited by: Van Steiza on 04/06/2011 12:58:08 I just had a simple thought about Moons - Just wanted everyones opinions on my idea.
The idea is this it would mean that no single alliance corp can have a permenant/semi permenant hold on a moon income source.
The idea is along these lines, its probably been mentioned before.
Okay say a moon for example technitium is found at the moment they are an infinite source of income am i right?
What if they were changed in such a way that there is a chance of that they became finite.
I.e you find moon you anchor pos you mine the minerals for a few months then suddenly you come one day and find that the moon has become depleted.
The chance of the moon becoming depleted is random It could last 1 year It could last 2 years or it could last 2 months. The idea is this that they will not be static they will """"""respawn"""""" when I say respawn i dont mean physicaly as in new moons.
I mean that you may come accross a worthless moon someday and a few months later you come accross that same moon and it has developed new minerals. The time of there depletion is random and based on chance, the chance of a moon developing x type of mineral is based on chance.
High value moons could therefore be found at random by anyone could be mined for how ever long until either 1 depletes 2 someone else finds it takes it from them, but no one will ever permenantly hold a high value moon..maybe semi-perm you know over 1 or 2 years if they hit a good moon.
This gives smaller power blocks and corps alliances the chance to make good.
See this idea is baseed on high value moons I can understand it being quite annoying that your low value moon decides to deplete but what if you go scanning and find a newly changed prevoiusly low value moon spewing tech or some other high value mineral goo.
It could be benificial to the eve economy.
Its a fairly simple Idea and im sure you guys could work out the kinks in my idea.
I have never held or cared to hold a moon,I am your typical pirate/suicide ganker.
Who has been in big 0.0 Alliances and just witnessed what happens when different sides whorde lots of moons the isk is incredible.These alliances can still do the same but there will be limitations giving chance for new corps alliances to randomly find a finite source of great income.
Would change up eve a bit.
The constant change of moons and depletion of moons may make industry alot different.
Isk may mean alot more than it does now.
Opinions are welcome. ----------------------------------------------- Stop removing my Sig its fine!!!! Nerf Moderaters. |

If you look at the features and idea's forum (were this post should be) you will find that this basic idea has been suggested a number of time.
The basic problem is that each time a moon is depleted it disrupts the tech2 supply chain. It also reduces the incentive for PVP, at the moment if alliance takes a moon and keep it, they can recoup their investment. if the moon can deplete, it just makes sense to put up POS on each moon in your space and wait for a moon to re spawns something valuable.
You also have the prospect of some alliance sitting on key moons and not mining them to control supply.
At the moment the location of the key moons are known to all alliances, they will get attacked, if they respawn, other alliance will have to probe each moon in there emery space on a regular basis before attacking to capture a high value moon. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

But wouldnt that be benificial a intruption to teh supply chain makes isk a more meaningfull thing.
Everyone will have a chance allbeit random chance of having access to moons.
Yes they are all known currently but that means big allainces can get fat and sit on there moons and will rarely ever loose them.
This idea gives the chance that they may depelte those moons and that a alliance somewere else in eve may get lucky and get there hands on it.
Yes ofc dropping posses requires lots of isk and if moon goo is not consistant i dont see massive powerblocks setting up posses on ever pos on eve and defending every single one. ----------------------------------------------- Stop removing my Sig its fine!!!! Nerf Moderaters. |

Yes they should all stop wearing magic underwear and having sex with little kids. They need to stop abusing their children and having them in surplus only to force them into labor. They are really no better then the dammed scientologists.
Oh...
You meant Moons? I thought you said Mormons. My mistake... Your signature is too large. Maximum permitted signature size is 24,000 bytes. Spitfire Vote Support For Great Justice |

Would you want the price of t2 ships and modules to get higher and higher? because that's what would happen.
Sure, a small alliance might take a moon when they respawn, but they're going to lose them the second a large alliance find them and drops supers on the tower. Something like this would probably see a vast expansion in the number of spy accounts too, but that's not a bad thing.

Yes the interuption may increase prices.
Sure a large alliance may come and steal the moon eventualy.
But the smaller alliances may get months or more of use before a larger alliance find the moon of value that they have got the luck to find.
What this means is no one alliance corp can have permement hold on a high value moon.
They will have to look once a moon depletes.
And the time it depletes is all chance based.
Could be months or years.
Its a novel idea. ----------------------------------------------- Stop removing my Sig its fine!!!! Nerf Moderaters. |

you could make the time left until depletion entirely visible after a few hours of processing it.
you could call it "abundance"
this may allow a well organized corp to seek other sources of the resource they want/need before they run out. so a good corp's supply will almost never be interrupted. ~hi ho, hi ho, It's off to work I go... |

Alliance level moon logistics is already nearly suicide inducing with current mechanics.
Don't make it even more so.
