I would like to know why I am unable to engage in horrific strip mining of moons in
Wormhole space. Outside the prying eyes of CONCORD and the general public, I
should be able to engage in any dasterdly deed that would make Captain Planet
soil himself. After taking the time to not only locate my own pocket of reality, but to
defend it, I should most definitly be allowed to destroy it any way I see fit. And if I
see fit to use giant lasers to destroy the moons, then bring on the lasers! I would like
an answer post haste, as my investors are furious at my not going foward with
operation Death Star.

Wormholes are profitable enough as it is... adding Moon Goo would be overkill

In terms of a lore perspective... the Sleepers mined it all to build the big bad ships we blow up in WHs for ISK (I'm guessing but it seems likely)

Err... no. It's all about profits, but not wh dwellers' profits.

If Moon Goo supply increase, it'll cut into sov null monopoly supply bottleneck and thus, profits. Entrenched interests. Historically, CCP rigs the game to favor sov null alliances, ranging from moon goo distribution creating bottlenecks to outright giving out t2 bpos.

Soooo.... you want WHs to be the end all be all place for industry?
-All Ores
-Moon Goo
-T3 Production
-R&D
-Superb PI

Basically everything but boosters... seems overkill.. to me it would make more sense to distribute production between different types of space as a form of check and balances. My opinion tho ofc.

Ppl like to live and run all that out of POS? But yes. The greatest risk plus greatest amount of logi work should warrant the greatest rewards.

At the very list, wh should be more rewarding than rear end of the deep blueness that is sov null where you don't see hostiles for months on end, and everybody docks up when a scary neut alt logs into local.

To offset the cries of stagnation of null sec due to defenses, create inter system WH's (after all they already have WH's popping up, why can't they connect to one another as well as random space?)

Moon goo in w-space? No thanks. Wait for ring mining if you want more excitement in moon goo land.



K-space to k-space wormholes already exist. Not sure what more you want.

Back when wormholes were introduced (long before I joined CCP) I had a dozen large deathstar towers and multiple probing characters ready to go with the intention of snagging some wormhole R64s in lower class wormholes that would be practically impossible for anyone to ever take from me.

Then it was announced that moon mining would not be allowed in wormholes and I was sad. However I freely admit that what I was trying to do would not have been balanced.

Why when people say moon mining, everyone assmes TECHNETIUM!?!?!?!?!

there ARE other moon minerals that are decently valuable that you cold put in wormholes, that you could then do reactions or what not with. wormholes dont need tech, but other moon-mins wouldnt hurt. (its not like they wold make moons super-valuable or anything, since the CPU/PG taken up by the moon miner would usually be better spent on other modules)

Of course some of them would have to be Tech, only then will price be balanced.

Price of moon goo would balance by itself. What's worth the logistics of a large POS hauling through multiple holes will determine prices, not some artificial CCP sponsored monopoly.

The prices wouldn't really balance, moon mining is so easy the prices would just drop.

Their isn't anything wrong in theory of having only a few limited sources of tech, I mean the same thing happens in the real world with oil and diamonds.


Although in the real world that does cause bullshit to so maybe having our video game be somewhat more utopia like wouldn't be that bad.

In a utopia everyone is equal and happy, there is no pverty, crime, or starvation. everyone only does good and the government never abuses its powers.

EVE is a dystopia, a cyberpunk one at that, one on the level of which warhammer and soilent green can hardly compare. it is the antithesis of everything a utopia stands for. there is no equality or opportunity, happiness is crushed and splintered and made into bathroom frescoe. all but the few lucky and privileged are above poverty. thousands starve as those more powerful suck away the lifeblood of the universe. the government claims utopia as it slowly grinds the humanity from the meatbags of citizens it claims as soldiers.

and im pretty sure we all prefer it that way.

There've actually been ideas of making moon-minerals a depleteable ressource, and you'd have to relocate your towers and probe moons again and again because maybe there might spawn some fancy stuff. If this was introduced, i'd see no problem of moon-goo in wh's, too, just maybe a distribution of r64 only in c5 & c6, 32 only from c3 and above.
