fenistil wrote:CCP Affinity,
What predictions do you think it will have on mineral prices? There are a lot of minerals coming from drone regions to empire. If drone regions will not supply the minerals any longer, and the demand stays the same, I guess it is safe to assume the mineral prices will increase? It would be an interesting thing to know what % of all minerals are being supplied by drone regions now. The beautiful thing about EvE is that as mineral prices riise, more people will start mining because they will notice those jucy buy orders that need filling. |

Please also keep in mind that at 300m for a hulk and assuming a suicide gank every 10 hours of mining, the floor price of veld is 30m. Plugging this formula into a spreadsheet =30000000/60/((1600/33.3)*1000), gives a minimum trit price of around 10.0 for break even.
Something needs to give. while we work hard, we have yet to reach that level of gankination Your alliance, probably not. I'd like to see some info on the average life expectancy of a non-bot player mining within a reasonable distance of a market hub is. Therein lies your problem. |

Hulkageddon is an emergent activity within the sandbox. CCP has nothing to do with it, apart from creating a ship " better able to handle the dangers of deep space" that can't even tank a T1 destroyer long enough for CONCORD to do something about it. I've done null-sec mining, and while yes, it is very much a carebear trade, and yes, I did like being the only one within three systems, you never know when there might be an incoming roam that requires you to either safe up for a time, or swap the mining lasers for missiles to join the counter-attack. You can put missles on a hulk? |

It's either you make people able to attack pilots inside incursions or you remove them from high sec. Ret@rded. Confirming that it is impossible to target incursion runners and that they are immune to smartbombs and ecm burst. |

Leaving the Ugly Spoduman in place as the is the Cost of mining in Relative safety and with out wasted cycles in a hidden belt and prevent it from being flipped too quickly
This alone would give the option of miners who mine for Production to be useful in Null sec. Moving them out of empire space and into Null sec to Provide more targets to be shot at for small roams.
Before I left null sec for a break. I was ratting belts for Carrier spawns to gain the Mineral to fill the quota needed for Trit and Pyre. As that was easier and safer than trying to mine in belts for the same amount of minerals... The isk for bounties was an added bonus! anyone who mines lowends in 0.0 is a moron period But mining out an entire system is FUN. |

Currently faction navy ships are looking more appealing than t1 battleships because the price gap has decreased significantly. |

Currently faction navy ships are looking more appealing than t1 battleships because the price gap has decreased significantly. Well, I am looking forward T2 versions of smaller ships too... And after this cruiser/frigate boost... cruisers that will be used and not just ignored... I like that idea... But there is one problem in that yours calculation. T1 ships you can insure... and T2/faction you cant... so... T1 will be used. Shhh insurance is an seecr3t. |
