Mining out resources being dynamic is already a function in EVE. Maybe just not dramatic enough to really notice it.
But if a roid gets mined out then after the next DT it comes back at a minium size. If it does not get mined out and survives to the next DT then it gets bigger. It will continue to do this over the next 5 or 6 DT's. If you constantly mine out a riod field that riod field will respawn but always at the minimum size. SO it is already a dynamic resource in effect. The scale of it is just small enough to not really notice it unless you take notes.
Excellent! Cheers, didn't know that. This would just need tuning, then.
Quote:As to NPC corps I do not agree. But I have not had the opportunity to play in all of them. But the ones I do have experience with are not as you say they are. In fact the ones I have been in are run similar to eve uni. They are the reason I am still here otherwise I would have quit already myself. And they do run PvP ops regular into low and null sec and support the players with building things like jump clones and PvP ship loadouts etc. The NPC corps I have been in are very good experience for new players to the game. A great addition in fact. The game itself has a graduation feature mechanics built in to NPC corps like a player can not build a POS while in a NPC corp. As your toon grows in skill points the NPC corp becomes a burden after a while and the game mechanics itself force you out and into your own corp. A natural progression.
I wonder where your hatred of NPC corps comes from but I do see it all over the forums from other players as well. Then again I see hatered for eve uni all over the forums also. And both of these organizations are great for new player retention. So I most definately and emphatically do not agree with your position on NPC corps. I consider your view of NPC corps to be overly shortsighted.
I'm aware of those exceptions (CAS being the prime example of something that they all should be more like, in fact), and a third one that is decent to a degree. However these good ones are sadly the minority, and most of NPC corps are simply terrible places to take your first steps in New Eden. Desolate, confused and sometimes even downright nasty chats.
CCP should take a long look at CAS and the individuals that have made it work, build on that and expand the same concepts into the other NPC corps.
I pity the newb who ends up in a junkyard like Pator Tech.
