Different Star/Stellar Category Types could provide different types of Plasma, for different uses (Powering Warp Cores, use in Ammo warheads, as parts of chemical reactions, combined with stuff from PI to make more better stuff, ect).
It's not a horrible idea really. Pretty much everything in EVE should be able to have whatever it's made of extracted in some way, and used in some way to make stuff. Collecting plasma from the outer atmosphere of a star to get unique forms of plasma is not entirely out of the real of possabillity in a Sci-Fi setting, right?
Consider it the stellar version of Gas cloud mining. In terms of "in space" there could be a warpable celestial (like current no-scanning-required sites) called "Stellar Flare" that when you warp to it (always very evry close to the star) would have some gas-cloud-alike plasma coulds you could get to within 20km of a harvest.
Not a bad idea at all.

I mean you want to mine this massive thing, and get Hydrogen and Heloim isotopes from it, right? There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

Also, once the first star is mined to depletion, it turns out it was one of millions of homeworlds in a vast empire built by an advanced hydrogen-based race of living gas/plasma clouds. This will trigger Incursion v. 2.0. Also, there may be ancient space ship trees and killer robots involved.
This is factually incorrect. The truth is much more horrific-
We, the Miners of High-sec, have already discovered the advanced technology necessary to mine stars. However, we have decided to keep this technology secret, due to the fact that once depleted, a star tends to collapse into a black hole, sucking in the entire system and leaving behind a steaming pile of something resembling minecraft. Knowing that such an ending to Eve, one system at a time, is horror that no pilot can bear, this technology has been hidden away in a giant secure container in a very, very High-sec place, never to be revealed. Ever.
There is, unfortunately, one madman who has gathered about him a horde of murderous minions who travel through Eve mindlessly ganking miners by the thousands with the misguided and vain hope that the directions to the HOLY CONTAINER OF HIGHSEC may be found in the smoldering wreck of some random exhumer. What he plans to do with this knowledge is anyoneGÇÖs guess.
But the next time you hear Jimmy and his New Order slavebots chanting about the need to GÇ£saveGÇ¥ high-sec, ask yourself: Self, what do they really mean by that?

Don't drink and read the Eve-O forums. Also, the kind of dry wit that was responsible for your keyboard doing a reasonably apt Fukushima impression is one of the few redeeming qualities GD has. |

You know what I was thinking the same thing. Create a solar powered mining barge. Sit there 24/7 without ever moving. Make the cycle times similar to old ice mining. The materials would have to be worthless to be balanced.
It would give those who want to watch netflix and play EVE something to do again.
But yeah it seems like its kind of stupid that minmatar have solar panels yet no one seems to be interested in solar power.
It would help bring out a steady source of gank targets too. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Don't lie, its a horrific trainwreck of an idea Ishtar Starfire: As a pure caldari pilot i feel that with the deployment of the new tier 3 battlecruisers you have given an unfair advantage to everyone except caldari pilots. an example would be like giving a fat kid a whole cake while the skinny kid has to watch and get nothing.

I think the sun should be a pvp ground in Dust.. Imagine how many girls that would start playing immidiately. My interests include but are not limited to throwing rocks at bee hives.
Make reasonable choices. |

You mean to say "star". It is named Sun on my overview in every region of space. That's sadly true, but still wrong. "Sun", or "Sol" is the name of our star. Most people don't know that and mistake "Sun" as a word for "Star".
The term 'the sun' refers to your local star, wherever you are. The star that is closest to you is 'the sun'. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I've always wondered why we can't anchor POSes at the sun.
Loads of solar panels for energy and that's that.
Just my 2 cents of half arsed bad ideas for the day. There's nothing a million chinese guys can't do cheaper.
Also This --> https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=216699 Please stop making "afk cloak" threads, thanks in advance. |

I support this initiative but think it could be developed a bit further.
A sun should be as good source of raw materials as the asteroid belts, and even better for isotopes and some other volatiles.
Probably a gas harvester would be better suited for the job than a regular drilling laser.
The problem is that the mined products are unlikely to exist in mineral form while in the sun, so either they do not conform to the categorization of the commonly used industrial alloys, or they need to be annealed during the removal, or both.
