there is something to be said for this........
Bad idea. Nough said. We need more interesting interactive entertaining content in high sec to keep newbees in the game long enough to get them PvP addictive. Current statistic tells us, that most of players, payed for the first month, do not pay for the second and leave the game. Mining is boring. Low sec is deadly and frustraiting. Very few PvE activities can keep newbee here and rewarding interactive mining can be one. |

This. And i am sure more interactive mining (even with just retargeting the depleting vein) can give this kind of ppl more content they are looking for. More ppl stay in game, game becomes more interesting.

That is why I like the idea of 3 mining methods better than comet minig. You still can AFK mine with Strip Mining for low yield and at the same time miner next to you can mine same ore twice as effective with Vein Mining. No mini game - kind of real time strategy instead. More like a planetary interaction, where you shift your extractors once per cicle (minute or 3 minute) hunting most rich part of vein, for example.

Sounds like demagogue. Care to explain why you think so? What will be used by bots in the OP, what is not already used by them now? I see it quite opposite. If you are not bot / ak, you can follow vein to increase your yield, for example. That would give real miners sugnificant benefit. |

Well, I hope not. It really depends on implementation.

Bots outperform humans in captcha tests hence google stopping using them, I'd be interested to see how such a mini game would avoid this.
I am not sure about 'mini" game. How about normal game, no special windows or dialogs like for hacking. You zoom the asteroid in and start looking for place to target mining laser at. The better skill - the more accurate you can find and target. The whole banch of events can interrupt your mining path. Like explosions of overheated gas/ice in asteroid can change the vein so, that it would be hard for bot to adapt. Asteroid can start rotating in other direction and so on... |

Examples : add Comet mining or add the possibility to mine the rings of some planets (ring with ice or gas or minerals or both)
Well, proposed strip mining method is pretty much what you have even now. The only thing, that would be replaced is amound of asteroids - from many to one. That is not really needed IMHO. But also not that crucial.
Mining rings is nice idea, but what about perfomance of the game? It can be very ressource demanding... |
