In the warfare sub-forum, the question has been asked if there are fewer folks running missions. One of the speculative posts is that the farmer population has decreased.
A couple different theories on that line of reasoning, ranging from "it's summer" to "Chinese firewall cut them off".
Might it just be that the farmers aren't there decreasing the consumption of the ores? Their usually depleted belts aren't taking the lion's share of the respawns, so the extra is leveling off in other systems in your constellation? (Or is my understanding of the respawn mechanic totally off?)

Amount that respawns is based upon all that mined in that constellation, so if people are mining more in other, say, station less systems in your constellation than usual, more will be respawning in your system.
We as a Corp striped mined some of the systems since the weekend which has no more than 4 belts. We wanted to see what was the rates and This is not longer what it seems.
We striped mined daily 1 system with 2 belts and they respawn daily back to Huge belts! I for one don't think this is a Monday or Friday respawn day now. This was in 0.6 as well and I have noticed macro miner have gone and the respawn rate gone up! So I think CCP has tweaked it. this ia big change and because of this the prices of minerals are going down! as Miner in general getting a bigger yield as I have Noticed a 60% increase. |

Now that you mention it, I have been seeing fewer suspected macro miners in my belts lately.
Huh. Curious. |

Come to think of it I was just noticing huge roids in systems that used to have pebbles. I didnt think much of it at the time. |

CCP also seems to have tweeked how faction standings are adjusted. It used to be that once you kicked a character from your corp that was holding your standing down it would take weeks for your standing to slowly adjust. Now it seems to adjust immediately at the next downtime.
I had two characters that were holding my corp faction standings down to 2.2. I temporarily removed them so that I could get my corp standings up to put a POS in a .5 system. After the next downtime my corp faction standings jumped to over 5 which is the average of the remaining characters that I have left in the corp.
Thank you CCP! I'll be putting up my POS today.

To add a little harmless wild speculation regarding the new huge rocks:
I usually mine in a 0.5 system, which rarely gets mined out and where the rocks are as big as theyre going to get in highsec - the system is part of a constellation with two 1.0 systems, so the rocks respawn everyday at downtime.
The 1.0 systems get severe traffic everyday, with belts usually stripped out afew hours after downtime. I would speculate that because the asteroids are being mined out, they're respawning elsewhere in the constellation - similar to how plexes respawn somewhere else in the constellation. This would lead to an uneven distribution of ore yields, and explain why the 1.0 systems have small rocks, and my 0.5 system has all the 100k+ goliaths - since it never gets mined out.
Perhaps the same system that works for plexes works for asteroid spawns?

Standings are calculated as the average of all players that have been in the corp for 7 days, at downtime. They don't decay towards the average any more.

Patch notes for Apocrypha 1.1, released 16 April 2009
..."NPC standings towards a player corporation are calculated from the average of all members' individual standings. Only members that are in the player corporation for more than seven days straight count toward the standing average."
One of my friends in China the other day said they'd blocked google including gmail. No idea how short-long term that was/is, and if it maybe included other ip ranges.....
Increasing the respawn is really counter to what CCP want, because there was no ore shortage, there was simply overcrowding in some areas, and encouraging people to spread out is highly desirable for server load reasons, so giving people even less reason to venture outwards from hubs is very very bad.

I don't think this is the case. I regularly strip the same belt in my home system weekly, and most of the rocks are gone before the Friday downtime. But today, first time I've mined in a week, I'm seeing the same as everyone else: gigantic roids the size I've never seen in this system. |
