- 1 hour for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
- 2 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster variants
- 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster variants
- 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster variants
Is this cool down timer from the time the anomaly last respawned or from the time that it was finished? Because the phrasing of "only affecting the tiny percentage of busiest systems" makes it sound like it only affects those colossal's that are mined out in 5 hours. If the timer is from the time it's finished, that affects every system in Null.
Yeah can we get a list of the systems that this is going to hit so we can avoid them. This is crap.

if you're killing rorq yields AND speed AND anom refresh rates, what are you really balancing? Your paycheck? Because you don't deserve a raise with this BS.
Seriously, I understand your desire to ruin Goons (well that one guy who multiboxes what is it? 80 to 100 rorqs?) empire, but come on man, this is heavy handed and petty. The number of people who have injected millions of skillpoints to get into rorqs, the number of killmails generated by killing rorqs...you tell me. Is this really a smart business decision?

Are games not supposed to be fun? Am I missing something?
Eve is going the way of having an abscessed tooth that you cant get an emergency dental visit for and have to suffer for a week.
Eve is the only counter-intuitive game around; where the technology gets worse with each successive pass, rather than blossoming with new technology and innovations.
Isn't technology supposed to improve with each generation?
It seems to me New Eden is backwards. Our tech keeps going backwards in time.
"Our ships are too powerful Your Highness, we better make them not so powerful, so that the Cursed Minmatar do not whine (not win) so much."
What kind of silly logic is that?
This is the only game i know where the developers keep throwing carrots out in front of us, but once we get them they are moldy and covered in dog crap.
But wait a shiny new skin! It's shiny! It has gold stripes!

- 12.5% lower speed for Ore Excavators
- About 11% longer cycle time for Ice Excavators
- 10% lower speed for Ice Excavators
We will continue observing the economy after these changes and making adjustments as necessary to keep it healthy for all our players. WTS Rorqual... Going to be worthless as an income machine after this.. Pretty much already was, but now a ship that costs 34 times the cost of a Hulk, but yields 1.5 times what a hulk yields. DISCREPANCY!!! Thanks for kililng the game for me.
Will buy, 500m isk.
Seriously where and how much

Fayrouze wrote:Currently we are showing a lot of _very predictable feedback_ on what they are doing. Having the perspective of having done this forever, CCP looks at what their players do and less of what they say.
"Innovation" takes time to set in, remember. /sarcasm
The problem here is that CCP is punishing adaptation. Players are using tools that CCP sold them to play around in the sandbox. Now, because some guys are better at using those tools than others, CCP is taking the tools' efficacy away from everybody.
At this rate, it seems that they will not rest until they've balanced the landscape into one flat, monotone plane. The well-off people in large entities can cope with these changes happening at this rate. The people most stunted by this kind of rapid cycling in ships' roles and capabilities are the small entities and the space poor.
If all changes and "balancing" are driven ONLY by the major blocs, then CCP may as well add that as the last step in the NPE - "Now, go join one of the big player factions. You won't accomplish much unless you are under their umbrella. You are here as fodder, know your place."
You're right of course, they only want all players to actually use sub battlecruisers. This IS cruisers online, don't forget.

Janeway84 wrote:Please leave Fozzie alone! I think its just BS calling out that this hurts the poor players since poor players wouldn't be flying rorquals by the dozen Poor players would stick it with their procurers or skiffs etc.. Anyone who spent cash for Plex-Skill injectors to fast track into rorquals wheren't poor then This is more CCP being Robin Hood and stealing from the tax man and giving back some to the less fortunate more or less. Maybe agree with above poster that the price of mining drones could perhaps be reduced if the stats get hit hard. Though that kind of chance usually takes time before it effects the market anyways.
This has nothing to do with and "Robin Hood-ing" whatsoever, especially since the tax man is CCP, so you are misinformed.
It's not CCP that will "lower the cost" of the Excavator Drones, as they are not the ones selling them. The price is determined by the scarcity of the components to manufacture them. That's the drone regions people I would imagine being market savvy.
The only way CCP can lower the cost of drones is by reworking the manufacturing process, so if you are going to be making suggestions, please understand what you are talking about.

I oh so rarely post... But I had to login and quote this. CCP really needs to think about other ways to tackle how capital ships mine and boost/haul/compress
CCP come up with some more ideas rather than just nurfing things. While the idea of the timers is admirable, the amount of the timers is ridiculous and will only hurt the smaller miner people. There will certainly be a psychological hit with this as well.
The best plan would be to remove the excavators, refund the SP's for the mining drone specialisation, and replace them with a capital mining laser. CCP could then mess with cycle time, mined amount and laser range without taking off and nerfing mining from orbit. Heck make it usable only with the core active and use crystals at twice the speed of subcap strip miners, that would at least make you keep an eye on crystal usage. Although seeing as this change will be live in under 7 days and not one dev reply to this thread, well yeah.....
That in itself isn't a bad idea. They would have to rework the high slots giving the rorq two turrets. That would take away utility highs, and cause all sorts of other nonsense, but that I wouldn't mind seeing an initial work up on it.

That's because it's going to happen, despite the furor and bluster of the community at large.
