I have just left 0.0 to come back to highsec and decided to take up my old career of mining building etc..
I thought it was supposed to be more risk more reward?
all i have seen since moving back to highsec is miners ganked don't get me wrong I have ganked a few in the past out of pure boredom and found ganking miners just as boring as they don't fight back.. good for making the isk on you KB look good tho..
Any how back to my point:
Since I moved back I have been talking to a few guys that try to make a living out of mining and production and they are switching to missions because its easier to make isk with less risk..
So what i am trying to get at is that there should be more balancing of mining ships as highsec is more risk less reward then null sec. at least null sec is not as over populated, even if there was no local and no intel channel null sec would still be safer to mine then high sec.
Boom you went BOOM!!

There has been idea about making mining lasers as an actual weapon. But i can only see the the typical response of join corp, have someone in a combat ship sit there with you, or muti-box witch not everyone does, or afforded it, align to a point and warp out, use whatever drones you might have..... solo mining does the highest gank reward vs risk, but i doubt it will change anytime soon. |

So let's see.
According to you. You see miners getting ganked left and right. Also according to you, in your circle, "everyone" is going back to mission running.
I would say as an overall percentage of the TOTAL number of high sec miners, those getting ganked is an extremely small percentage. I have done some high sec mining off and on over the years and haven't even come close to getting ganked.
CCP even rebalanced the barges to give you options. You can pick a barge with a nice big tank which gives you way more safety, especially in HS.
Basically, you need to work way harder to back up your argument that there is actually a problem, before any talk of a solution will be productive. |

wft why you taking this personally?... you mention "everyone" I mention the people I talked to not having a personal dig but i am thinking you are a greifer thats why you got upset.....
ISK risk vs reward should be better for miners then it is..
If you mining in a skiff etc then your better off doing lvl 2 missions ..
if things where equal then a missioning battle ship could be taken down by a 1mil fitted frigate compaired to the isk risk vs reward of a miner in highsec.
it was easier a couple of years back I hardly never got ganked in highsec but then again highsec was not as crowded then.
yes barges have had a buff that was asked for and asked for... it took over 5 years to get that buff from constantly whining on the forums year after year..
I never mine alone and the only time mining is around the level of doing lvl 3/4 missions is in null sec then it becomes over 300% safer then highsec for the miner.
ventures are seen daily on killboards not worth the isk if you have more then 1 mil sp...
Boom you went BOOM!!
