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

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.

this would be like shuffling of security statuses of systems.... pretty funny but not playable at all.... Because you don't know where will you find yourself tomorrow...

no person who knows anything about moon mining would have mentioned techx2, though now you've apparently finally done your homework

you clearly are bullshitting about what you have done and what you know because there is nobody, anywhere, who has scanned "multiple regions" and not wanted to kill someone. when you lie keep it believable

More assertions based on nothing other than personal bias.

I speak with experience that anyone can check. I have managed moon reactor farms, I have orchestrated the scanning of several regions, and I know everything there is to know about the t2 material system. All of this experience is easily verifiable, as I'm the CFO of goonswarm. You, on the other hand, are a noname npc alt who has made serious errors about basic facts of moon mining, poorly lied to cover that up, and have asserted unbelievable and unverifiable claims of experience in response to challenges of your incredibly stupid ideas.

As an actual authority on this issue I can say without fear of contradiction from anyone who actually knows what they're talking about that your claimed experience is a lie, that you have no idea what you're talking about, and are an exceptionally poor liar.

Seriously, go probe out a constellation worth of moons, and come back and tell us how long it took. Now go do a region, or six.

I'll see you in a week, if you're made of stern stuff. A month, if you aren't.

- Uncloak at moon
- launch probe
- Warp to next moon (Perhaps reload in-between warps)
- repeat.

You actually left out a part: you've got to align to the moon. And a not-inconsiderable amount of the time, you miss. You then have to go through your results and figure out what missed.

You then have to actually record all that data, which is in itself a horrible experience.

You claim to have used a viator, which - again - is a basic error any moon scanner would have known about. A viator does not have two highslots, so it cannot fit a cloak and a probe launcher. You can only use a prowler if you're trying to use a blockade runner. I mean come on man, you just keep shooting yourself in the foot and everyone's going to catch that.

And yes: you miss. Moon scanning, being a horrible soul-destroying thing, causes you to naturally start trying to speed things up when you're on moon 200. You're going to get impatient, fire off a probe early by mistake, and miss.

Who said I cloaked?

I did, because that's the only good reason to use a blockade runner when moon probing. Otherwise, you use a disposable ship like a cruiser or something with a decent cargohold, but costs you 5m. You keep making basic errors and trying to bluster your way out of them, but very poorly.
