remove both omber and kernite from hi sec and place them in low sec Scordite is worth more than both omber and Kernite. So is pyro and plag. You think people would go through the extra trouble of low sec for lesser profit? you forget about what you get from refining omber and kernite You mean the little isogen? Did you check the price of pyerite? The only thing beating scordite right now is Akronor and Mercoxit. Those 2 require operation in null sec with the already covered extra work required to mine it. The is a reason nobody mines in low sec and it's probably not gonna change anytime soon. unless something has changed that i aint quite aware of omber and kernit is the only 2 high sec ore that contain any isogen kernite is also the ore that holds the most of mex of any ore in the game.
In terms of weight to return Plagioclase gives you more Mexallon than Kernite. The main use for Kernite is to complete level four storyline missions. Other than for that use it's way to heavy & slow to mine and haul so I would generally advise not mining Kernite.
Omber does have Isogen in it and I do mine that for Isogen though.  |

You said it. And I totally agree with you. CCP wanted to make mining a viable career choice and atm it is just that. |

So even tho a mineral is rare and hard to get, it doesent matter, because its not used as much as the common ones. In this sense it is equally profitable to mine either, because the demand is just as high for the common minerals as the rare ones. Just take a look at any blueprint, it will basically require tonnes of trit and pyer, but not so much zyd and megacyte. If megacyte and zyd should become more valuable, demand has to increase, and then blueprints will have to have their recipes changed a bit. This is not practical, because changing recipes will most likely create an uproar in the community. But i suggest when CCP is making new blueprints for new ships and modules, try and make some of them require more or equal amounts of megacyte and trit for example.
It would be somewhat ridiculous to increase the amount of Megacyte required, which cost thousands of ISK p/u, to similar levels of Tritanium required, which costs about six ISK p/u. I think you have to realise that prices for ores/minerals in high sec had to increase from what they were say a year or eighteen months ago to make mining more viable/profitable as a career choice. Removing the drone compound drops and a more concerted effort against mining bots/RMTers has attained this target and a feel this is a good situation to be at. |

I don't see a point or reason to remove Omber & Kernite deposits from high sec space. However hard you try you won't force miners to mine in low or nul sec if they don't want to. You have to be really organised in fleets for low & nulsec mining to work and even then you can come a cropper. Also removing Omber & Kernite would raise prices further when the consensus from the non-mining community is calling for cheaper minerals. So on those two points alone your proposal is dead in the water.
