A quick note;
I am a miner and industrialist. I am not and would never use macro software to mine.
But now, thanks in part to the amazing barge nerf, my passive income is now amazing.
I go to work and fire up my second laptop. I open two clients.
I set my well tanked barges on some ice, drop a few drones and go about my daily business. Checking the miners every so often to make sure all is well.
When they are full, I dock up, unload, rinse and repeat.
Of course, the price of ice product is going to crash out in no time and this passive income will be next to nothing.
Was this really the plan? Make AFK mining so easy that people would stop using macros?
I have anticipated losing ships to gankers. But so far just a few bumpers who think they are cool and neat and have discovered some new way to make me pay them. Give me a break.

As do PvPers that claim to never mine.
So I added that just so I could be in the same silly tinfoil hat club. |

Ice has already crashed - if you spent anytime mining it prior to the AFK update,you would know that. This level of AFK might as well be the same as macroing |

But why would a PvPer ever mine? It'd be a waste of skillpoints when you've already got good skills for exploding people to shoot rocks. |

Posting in yet another james 315 alt thread.
James seems to spend more time creating alts than bumping miners now.

It is nice to see so many pilots that have morning wood for James, But this isn't his alt. Go to one of the other threads and dry hump his leg for a while. Fanbois acting like fanbois. |

Guess you're not much of a miner and industrialist if you can't see how the positives of the barge changes out-weigh the negatives. |

The true goal of this thread was a short discussion on cause, effect and outcome of the changes to the miners in high-sec.
The fact that AFK mining seems to be the overall outcome of the barge changes. Especially the changes to the Mackinaw.
This said outcome is the proliferation of ice miners and a drastic (Even more drastic than present) drop in the price of Ice products.
Am I going to take advantage of this? DUH!

Yeah, it does make it a lot easier to mine ice and not be at the keyboard. If the other ore types were as large as ice, I'd probably do the same with them. |

Solution.... Make Highsec Ice Roids exhaustible.... If you have to target new Ice roids every 5-10 minutes, you'll not be able to afk in an ice field all day long... |

Would get rid of those giant lovely looking pieces of ice, that would suck.
They could just make it so strip miners need to manually activated every cycle, that would get rid of a lot of afk mining but bots won't have any issue getting around such things which is the real issue...not afking. |
