takes more than 5 mins to fill my mackinaw, ******* ******** idea.
if you make my mackinaw's yield 17.5k m3 per cycle per laser then sure, this idea has my support, until then... no.

people don't afk mine by choice, there's absolutely nothing to do while you're waiting for an asteroid to pop, there's 0 reason to be interacting with the game until your cargo is full, or your asteroid pops. that can regularly take more than 5 mins.
afk mining isn't something people decide to do, it's some thing the game pretty much makes them do. even sitting with the game window open staring at the cycle timer doesn't make you interact with the game, there's no difference between being at the keyboard or away from it in regards to mining.

No? Have a rethink. A lot of people mine because they CAN go AFK. That's sorta the point.
and?
that doesn't change the fact that even being at the keyboard doesn't require any interaction so even some one at the keyboard will still get modules turned off and drones redocked.
hence, your idea is bad. also, you should feel bad.

I feel terribad. I had NO IDEA so many people were HAPPY to have AFK as a feature of Eve given the number "you are AFK and you must die" posts I see.  I promise I will probably never do it again.
it has nothing to do with being happy with it. having said that; if i couldn't go afk while mining i wouldn't mine. the isk/hour wouldn't be worth it if i couldn't go and do something else while mining. i don't mind pausing my tv every few mins to tab back to eve to unload cargo and change targets, that's about as much as i'm willing to do for mining's **** poor isk/hour though.
your idea is terrible and badly thought out because you've never either encountered, emulated, or even tried to understand the "problem" you're trying to fix.

So what if they want to help their kids with homework, surf the web, get some work done while they are also mining.. I'ts called multi-tasking and I don't care!!!! It does not affect me ONE BIT. In fact it makes them a better gank target. Why would afk mining bother anyone? There they are. A hulk mining away - I dont' care if they are present at their pc or not, why do you care about it so much Touval?
the irony is, if he gets his way and players like me stop mining semi afk because the isk simply isn't worth the effort any more, prices will go up and then he'll be back here complaining about ship prices.

i doubt it, given how bad your initial idea was.

Funny thing is, that's exactly what miners asked for with the barge buffs. There used to be a reason to interact with the game, and that reason for interaction resulted in record incomes for those miners who were willing to interact, but the great blubbering masses were vehemently opposed to needing to interact with the game, so there we are.
wrong. they didn't want a 200m ship to be blown up by a 2m ship in about 10 seconds flat. the barge buff fixed that. the barge buff had absolutely nothing to do with interaction, or lack of interaction, with the game.

What they said was that it wasn't supposed to be profitable to gank the hull itself, which it was due to salvaging often yielding something which did make it economically viable to do so.
either way, it had **** all to do with afk mining.
