Because goons are known to be wild about their killboard stats and will kick anyone who doesn't maintain 80% efficiency?

So, at least for new players, mining used to be risky too.
Too bad all of this changed and now mining is all the same as botting imo. a week old character in a retriever with 4 t1 drones can, and will, absolutely destroy any high sec rat spawn without issue or even needing to be at the PC. rats are only an issue in 0.6 and below for players younger than a week. how many players fall in to that category? a negligable amount since most that young tend to be in 1.0-0.7 where 2 t1 drones can easily deal with the spawns (maybe a dip in to armour but nowhere near hull) calling it risky for new players is laughable. Today's retriever <> 2009 retriever. Minmatar space <> Caldari space.
point still stands; calling mining risky even for new players is still laughable. |

it'll be fine, mining ships use shield tanks not armour tanks so they won't be at some huge disadvantage. |

I have done better, I have mined at Gukarla, Taff, near Esesier and in some NPC 0.0 systems. In there, NPCs tend to be dangerous but... not as much as the residents
Also done L4 missions in Gukarla, in the low sec cluster you can access by going low sec from Bei and in NPC 0.0 (Stain).

I think the prices reflect how much of a fail this ice interdiction has been. 90% of the miners I know are still harvesting ice at the same rate and have barely ever even seen you guys in system.

Hrm... I was about to ask if the ice interdiction was over. I spy an Obelisk in Osmon. *wink* *wink*
Plus their Orca.
Someone should do something about that.

There are vast amounts of excess ice sitting in hangers; there is little benefit to rage camping every belt as the cost to do so would be too high (Motivation/Morale + miners switching to Procurers/Skiffs) over the long period of time needed to deplete those supplies.
All goons have to do is limit the ice coming in from low and null sec, while making it more difficult for large multi-boxing fleets to roam around unchallenged. If they can limit the number of re-spawns by one or two a day with a few roaming gangs of catalysts they can bleed the system of the excess stockpiles with a limited cost.
It is not about profitably ganking a mining boat, orca, or freighter, but creating an environment of slow appreciation. Their massive stockpiles will gain value as well as the ice in their control in low and null sec.
This is not a sprint like other interdictions but a "slow burn" of the ice horded from years of systemic oversupply. |

Well there is an orca in Osmon right now so I suppose the interdiction has ended.
The funny thing is the guy is not in an NPC corp along with all his dozen skiffs so someone could wardec them I suppose.

Was it you today? I can definitely imagine that 11 catalysts would be used to kill an Orca and not just a Mack. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Another day, another fail.
It's now been 14 full hours since any CFC member has entered any of the two systems with ice I've been watching.
You would think being the largest alliance in EVE, they'd at least have the numbers on their side. What is the excuse for not having people setup in all systems at all times?
I'll tell you the excuse: Sucking.

You know. Right after dowtime there is usually about 2 freighters in the Osmon belts. Maybe its hard to organize numbers that early in the day, but it is something you should consider. I mean if they can survive unmolested what does it say about the interdiction effort? "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".
