Sort of a resource depletion concept, but more nasty.
Every month, the database would shuffle randomly the moon goo distribution through out the entirety of New Eden.
Today you have Tech x 2 on your moon, next month you've got carbon, or worse, nothing at all. The month after you'd find yourself swimming in Promethium .
I think it would go a long way towards promoting active PvP and discouraging the nap fests currently found.
It would also keep any dominant alliance from becoming fat and lazy. Constantly chasing a moving target............
It would also solve the "sovereignty mechanics" arguments if you look at it the right way.
No point in holding systems in perpetuity due to the ever-shifting sands of fortune.
Get rid of the Sov requirements altogether.
A wide open free-for-all.
Oh, the carnage!

I personally want this to happen. More balance, more people have chance to gain this little jackot. Alliances like goons cant just play the game with no consequence.
Please CCP this needs to be done ASAP |

There are several ways to rebalance tech that should be looked at but only dirt-eating simpletons who have never had to scan so much as a constellation, let alone a region every few weeks. And that's before the effect on logisticians who have to unanchor and reanchor hundreds of towers and mods every month or so because some knuckle-dragging chucklepov was a bit jealous but too incompetent to take any tech for himself. |

Of course you'll hear that from those with a vested interest in the status quo.
I've a feeling that they are in the minority by a large margin.

And before you say "lolol I have run moon mining for years they call me 'the Moonman' in my alliance" you made a hilarious mistake showing deep ignorance of the facts of how moon-mining is implemented in your OP that I'll be happy to point out to you. |

I have been wondering this for a while, its only idiotic to those already sitting on the most profitable moons.
Moons shouldnt have infinite amounts of one resource, but having them systematically change at a set time is stupid as well. It would entice more pvp though as you'll have smaller alliances discovering a tech moon in one of there systems then either trying to hide it or getting found out and getting the boot. The drama would be epic 
EDIT: dont get me wrong, having them change every month is a dumb idea, maybe at least every 3-6 months but that would be even if they implemented a stupid time scale. And saying getting rid of sov requirements altogether... find another game  |

Ahh, another proponent of all profit, no effort.
I personally ran a dozen large towers BY MYSELF, including mining the damned ice, for almost a year.
It wasn't that farkin bad.
The income was commensurate with the work effort, including having to relocate the lot 6 times in 10 months.
You want the ISK, you put in the hours.

I don't think this is the answer to the goal you seek. There's a difference between sparking pvp conflicts and forcing alliances to upend their poses and all their equipment and move every few months. The logistics would suck and no doubt the grunts would get sick of moving their crap from station to station. Part of the reward for null is staking out a home and being secure in the knowledge you're going to hold it for the forseeable future. |

I don't really care about the chaos this would cause, I think it's a fine idea. I am in general in favor of any thread that draws such immediate righteous wrath from our overlords. |

And so you still could, and most likely should, in the form of a nice outpost or what have you, but having your "home" sitting on a perpetual ISK printing machine is a bit much.
*THAT* should have to be constantly chased down.

I think it 'could' work, but a month is much too short a time span for alliances, considering that they will have to spend time taking the moon and settign up infrastructure afterwards. It simple wont be profitable for most, and so (imo) worsen the stagnant situation.
Now, make it so the shuffle takes place every...6 months? Possibly even 12 months would be more likely. You have to take in to consideration that after each shuffle, the moons will have to be rescanned to find where the materials are, which takes a lot of time, not including moving infrastructre. |

Secure in the knowledge that you are going to hold the territory for the future - sounds like there is very little risk left in null sec for the big boys. I thought null sec was all about the risk. Apparently not.
I'm being sarcastic of course. How much risk does a 9000+ member alliance actually face in this game? Very little. The supposed risk versus reward system is in fact meaningless in the game. The big boys have all decided that high sec is their future, and that stirring up trouble in high sec is the real end game of Eve. Their nice little suburbs in null sec are basically untouchable except by another monster alliance.
This game is now like playing chess with all of IBM, and the next opponent up is Microsoft. The little player can't compete. Good job there, sandbox. |

I see your point and concede.
How about a reshuffle at every "expansion" ?

Stick to your guns, OP. What we need in Eve is fewer poses in null sec. Change the moon mix every day. |

Basically after each randomisation you'd have the major alliances sending scouts into every system with moon probes, followed up by supercapitals being dropped on anyone "fortunate" enough to find themselves with some tech.
The only way to effectively balance the very high end moon minerals is to create time-sink sources of them outside of the moon system. |

Yeah, but not on a monthly basis. Think of the POS guys....especially with the inventory! Not to mention having the outpost is nice, but I can already see in my mind if the money moves to a new location so does the bulk of the fighting force. Commanders are always going to move to protect what's actually valuable....the grunts will be like geez, can we chill in one spot for a few?

There's a difference between risk in nullsec and sov. That's why there are NIPS and NAPS, NIPS don't save you from getting ganked by your neighbors. Ideally, any nullsec alliance will at least want to stake out a spot for 2-4 months if not longer by pure power projection. If you're having to shuffle around every month it gets very tiresome.

If this was true then you'd know that you can't mine two of the same resource (tech, in the example you gave) from the same moon. |

ring mining will already give the ignorant simpleton the ability to mine tech himself without forcing people to go through the mind-numbing tedium of moonscanning
seriously you will never see anyone who has scanned more than 50 moons advocate anything that increases the amount of moon-scanning going on in the game |

I mean it might not be the worst idea ever if you ripped out the current moon scanning system, put the person who designed it in stocks and pelted them with tomatoes and ***** for days and then hung them, and then put in something that allowed you to actually scan out a system in a reasonable amount of time, but not one of the idiots proposing this ever has any idea what currently goes into scanning moons |

It was an example, and it was a valid one and I stand by it.
Nowhere did I claim that you COULD mine both at once, second generation moon miners were never released.
Your nitpicking changes nothing.
