Yields progressively increase as it gets closer to the sun. Anyone on grid at impact gets podded.

Maybe a little excessive but I'm all for outgassings causing damage around the comet.
Perhaps if it contains moongoo and we have a new module to gather it this could include a new use of manual piloting. The moon goo gathering module would cycle every second or 2 but have a short range (4Km or so). Then the comet would be spewing rubble as it gets nearer the sun (modelled by dropping brief toxic clouds like those in the cache sites). A good pilot should be able to fly around the clouds whilst staying in range but just orbitingwould be a bad idea as you be eaten after 2-3 hits. The nearer the sun the more moon goo is exposed at the centre of the comet but also the more frequent the outgassing becomes :D |

Or I could just park a Sycthe alt in range of my miners and drop a permarep on them all so I could semi-afk it. |

How is the comet moving between systems? Is it using a jump gate? If the comet can move so easily without the jump gate, then I think our efforts at creating player built jump gates should be redirected towards how comets travel so quickly between star systems light years apart.
;)
If comets were introduced - its a great idea, they should remain in the system they spawn in until they are mined out. I wonder what the server load will be like... |

comets should just spawn like signatures and stay there till exploited (no moving between systems)

I wonder what the server load will be like... comets should just spawn like signatures and stay there till exploited (no moving between systems) which makes the best sense. The only difference between the current sites and this is that the comet moves. The problem with a moving comet might be related to why planetary bodies in a solar system do not move. ;) I suppose once they add the ability for planets to orbit the sun and moons to orbit the planets and stations and customs offices to orbit the moons, having comets moving in a solar system will work. Otherwise, there will be no difference between the current spawning and a new system called a comet. |

Great ideas here, sounds like a lot of fun content for both Miners and PvP'ers.
For that reason, i would like to see the bigger ones only in Low, 0.0, and WH space. If one enters empire space, the local faction takes care of such a hazardous, uncontrollable object that threatens their citizens. Can't imagine the mighty Amarr empire and it's rivals will have much of a problem to do something Bruce Willis allready did in 1998 (Armageddon)
Well, some smaller comets might slip through space surveillance undetected... |

I like everything except the book mark invalid thing. Leave the bookmark. Make the comet a collide-able object and give it velocity. If you scanned it 20 minutes ago and warped to that bookmark it would be off grid. That kind of thing.
The velocity could influence your fit. Rats would be fine as well. |

I can't say I really understand how anyone would get close to something moving at 70km/s within the context of today's EVE engine. Considering that objects in EVE don't really move, it wouldn't really be a comet if you could approach it. Mega asteroids though? Sure, I'm game.
However, I do think we should have procedurally generated asteroid belts that spawn continuously no matter how far you fly, meaning if you fly off the grid, you should just get another grid full of asteroids. Put the equivalent of a mobile scan inhibitor in each asteroid, and suddenly you have a game.
It's so tedious to have to go to a safe a few seconds after every neut enters local. Systems are so small and scanners are so big, it's just dumb. I'd like to try mining some day, but it's just a lot of exposure for very little reward. It's safer to go pvp. |

speed is relative i bet we could think of something so the lore could be ok ;) and asteroid rings that was the thing back then same as the comets but it never came .. same as the comets

i think it's more about the idea and less about what its called

Don't know why I haven't thought of this before. Yes! We definitely need more indy and mining love.
Not sure if a simple +1 is enough, so lets do a +100
I will love you CCP more if this can be done <3

Make it an anom. They come and go just like other mining anoms. Tie it into Deep Core Mining. More deep core crystals to extract the various goos from the comet's core.

some years back [yes, I'm that old as well], I pointed out that the typical RL comet has much smaller mass than an asteroid, which, from a reality perspective, rather nerfs this whole thing.
What isn't necessarily nerfed is mining the Kuiper Belt -- out beyond any planet -- where "many" smaller rocks and comets would exist all in one area. And perhaps a few dwarf planets as well (since they're plainly real objects in real space).
*** Getting out there to find them would, imho, require a change in the probe mechanics and patience [think how long it takes to warp across a 120 au system now and double or triple that time].
The probe mechanics change required would be to permit warping to somewhere closer to the detected signature when the signal strength exceeds some value [perhaps 30% -- so you'd at least know what you're chasing].
While this warp would be guaranteed to NOT arrive at the target, it would move your ship, say, 50% of the way to the center of the estimated sphere of probability for the signature.
Thus, you'd probe, begin to detect, warp to get closer, and probe again [presumably with better results] in a cycle that eventually gets you to the target anomaly -- even if it's 180 au out from the systems' star.
Of course, any number of other features could be added out there -- if you luck into a dwarf planet, a pos could be planted and it would be outside CONCORD's and the local empire's or sov holder's jurisdiction [and not showing in local chat either]. [Shades of wormhole behavior -- ye gawds -- think of the potential gank fleets that could be hiding right in your own system. 8-) ]
--older than dirt. older than EVE, too.
