Thinking about this and the other thread about the percent of minerals from mods, It all comes back to ccp tinkering, I used to sell passive targetter bpo's was pretty good trade, ccp took a dim view and made them nowhere near as good.
CCP changed the rules on cargo in ships being carried in a carrier, other changes have been made such as changing some starbase items to items being sold by npc. The removal of shuttles and other items has not only lifted the cap on trit but has made it the most sought after as most builds require vast amounts of ta da "Tritanium" no longer can you just dock up buy and reprocess and then compress for transport the amount of minerals bought from the market this was must have been huge.
At one time Omber/Kernite was something to search for now you pass it by heading for veld, the push to make the Rorqual useful and 0.0 politics has made ccp tinker with every other player work around. I would love to see the figure for reprocessing when I used to sell the compression bpo's (passive targetters) or strip miners as I guess this would be much higher than 40%.
I do when I have to mine all in reach not just veld if my beams can reach then its going, If there is some veld out of reach i wont move till i cleared the section I am on, perhaps the op comment was another miner who will get to that ore in a minute type, sometimes its just theres no Mex/pye on the local market and you need to mine another ore.
We have many mining veld if its there now because the price is good, till ccp sort out insurance (another mineral cap) and the build requirements, no way will a gang of miner head to low sec and try mining veld in paperthin ships which drop good loot, mining with guns is all wrong but with it being "The Drone Regions" cant see how else ccp could work that, add a bounty and stop all drones dropping alloys but then it would not make sense, Glossy Opulent and Plush was always a good earner when you got some since the composition change its still good but pale in comparison.
To the op, sometimes you come home and you just mine, only a miner will understand
