Mining in EVE, even when you mine solo serves a purpose. So assuming mining in the single player game would also serve a purpose, I sure would be mining.

this is a question mainly for miners - people who don't mine in a multiplayer one either i will take a no by default.
i'm just trying to work out if the miners WOULD mine in a single player game, and if not, why its different in EVE
well no, because in a single player game i'd open the console and give myself a bunch of cash and then get on with the other parts of the game.
afk income is the closest i can get to cheating in this game.

Hell no. If I wanted to play Farmville, I'd be on Facebook.
Of course, I don't mine now, either, so I suppose it's a moot point.

I might, if it was something I needed to do as part of accomplishing a greater goal within the parameters of the game. But not if mining was the game itself. Mining is dull; it's a means to an end.

I played Eve as a single player mining game for most of my first three years. It wasn't boring at all.
I had four accounts, so I used two Hulks, an Orca, and an Iteron V. There was always something to keep me busy. |

Once I spent 6 hours playing Minecraft single player strip mining a 25x25 square of land down to the bed rock just to see if it could be done.

I think the last single player game I mined in was Starflight. Though that was wandering around looking for planetary deposits in a hovercraft with a battery that could be depleted. It was fun acquiring the wealth.

Yet you still lost a Raven with faction heavy launchers on it. Hmm... I wonder why nobody ever told you that was a ******** idea?

This is a dumb question. You might as well ask, would you do Level 4 missions (PVE) in a single player game.
Besides, mining does affect EVE as a whole. I believe more trit is sold than any other iteam in EVE. Someone is mining it. It doesnt just appear on the market out of thin air.

Why is industry and building so hard for you to understand? Is it genetic? Or simply RP gone too far?

Sorry, you didn't read far enough. It had Caldari Navy Cruise Missile Launchers on it. They were a gift. They were given to me by my mission partner who didn't think Arbalest Cruise Missile Launchers did enough damage. I don't use them anymore. On any ship.
Yes. It was my fault . . . for listening to advice on what ship to fly, how to fit it, and several mistakes of my own. That makes you God?

You cant mine in systems after doing a unfocused jump, there you have to mine in a more eve way.
Although there it goes better then in eve. |

I do gathering in single player games, most of the time I enjoy it unless the gathering system is annoying...
Also I would prefer to do gathering in single player games over EVE at the moment since EvE has those annoying religious folk that come around to your neighbourhood and try to force their belief's and salvations onto you, though the RL version's do not ask for cash up front nor want to put signs up in your yard.

single or multi:
Coal, diamonds, Iron ore, netherack, obsidian, ect ect...
Like EvE, I mine because I enjoy it as a step to building something cool, wonderful, profitable, or different

No one said anything about AFK...(well, cept you) however since you did... it's interesting to note that in Minecraft you can't AFK mine.
I'm sure that's not the only one either.

I dont know why, but i think mining in online game is somthing cool, just because your profesion got impact on economy, players, and your self, while totaly bored thing in single player games exept strategy games like settlers etc.
EvE isn't game, its style of living. |

I spent man years building civilizations in 4 different versions of Civilization, single player. Picking locations for settlements, improving the surrounding territory, growing the cities, building machines of war.... without the 1st person shooter aspect to that war.
So, yeah... if that mining resulted in gathering resources that could be used to build things, improve my situation, ,maybe build a corporation of my own, like a civilization but of real other people instead of virtual citizens in a virtual city.
I played lots and lots of Roller Coaster Tycoon... and getting SIMs into your theme park and getting them to pay to go on rides is like mining them for money to use to build more rides and improve your park.. so yeah, I'd mine in a solo game, if it resulted in building a larger theme park empire.
Mining in EVE is not the end. It is a tool to gather resource, to increase my capabilities, to build my span of control, to grow my empire.
