Doesn't a grav site spawn somewhere else once you have depleted it or it expired?
If all else fails, there are still a few missions worth mining in. Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. |

Never done a grav site. They don't seem to be efficient uses of time. The only belts I mine during missions are during mining missions. Same problem.
Edit: Never done a grav site in Hi Sec. Sorry. |

As a dedicated solo miner who generally can't log in until after 6PM EST, I fully and completely disagree with the OP. If finding belts with plenty of asteroids still in them is too much work then obviously mining isn't the proper career choice for the OP; I would suggest taking up station spinning that might be more up your alley.
There are more than enough asteroid fields out there that finding one with plenty of rocks left isn't that hard. If you are too lazy to move to a less populated system then take up scanning and mission running. While scanning can take some time to find a field the pay-off is usually worth it.
Also if you take some time you can usually find a couple of agents that will send you on a mission that will have a large amounts of asteroids at that complex. Ten you just run the mission real fast, change to your mining ship (do not turn the mission yet), mine all you want, when your done turn in the mission for a little added profit. BTW some of the best mission mining sites I've found so far was from lvl 1 missions which you can pretty much run with a brand new character; granted I hadn't really run many lvl 2+ missions so you might get better ore in the tougher mission sites.

Ya know... that's actually a really good idea.
Instead of "downtime = 100% respawn and nothing else" put each asteroid on it's own 24 hour timer. Time not dependent on downtime. That way personal timezones won't be such a limiting factor.
Note: Not as resource intensive at it sounds.

Maybe not, but would you be willing tp program it? I wouldn't. Far too many variables. |

I think CCP should put some new in game mechanic to halt this unconsensual mining. Like if one enter a belt then others need to have his consent to enable the roids for mining.
Or just make some kind of instanced mining arenas, where everyone can mine in the same way removing any risk of competition or interaction.
uh... no about the instanced mining arenas
you have missions for that if you want really

I fly around highsec ratting to relax and what do I see? Asteroids, asteroids at every belt I visit. Go a couple of extra jumps out. |

How many of you knew that there is a system in Hi Sec, accessible through Hi Sec, that has 50 belts?
The ore isn't the best, but it would take a while to clean it out.  |

You are assuming that OP is a real miner that puts in effort. Don't make that mistake, OP is a Mining Drone. |

So, which nerfs are you talking about?
The only recent HS nerf I can think of is the Incursion nerf. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

The only change is the Venture. That means that newbies who log in after restart who have miner dreams can actually shred all the belts near them for a jump or three, leaving everyone else to rage 'zomg no asteroids i dont pay to have things be mined out arglbrgl' the rest of the day. |

You know I have always thought random space events in a system would rock(Pun Intended). How cool would it be for a rare comet spawn to be slowly pacing its way through a system and could be mined by more mobile miners etc., and the ores from it would be well worth the effort.
p.s. I in no way touch rocks other then to see what my missiles look like flying outta my ship when I am bored. |

Flaming aside, there simply is no shortage of belts to mine. I've checked as late as half an hour before reset, there are belts all over highsec, including 0.9 systems, completely untouched, every day.
People just don't want to make 3 or 4 jumps to get their payday. |

Most of what is being posted here is either off topic, or designed to display the ignorance (not stupidity) of the poster. If you want to learn about mining, the only way to do it is to mine, and keep records, and notes, and use spreadsheets to figure out what is the most efficient use of your time.
I've been mining for years. In Hi Sec and Null. I could tell you what you really want to know, but why should I? No one told me. You need to find out for yourself. |

Quote: 5. Ranting is prohibited A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.
6. Personal attacks are prohibited. Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing GÇ£in characterGÇ¥ disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.
7. Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.
20. Post constructively. Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.
24. Off-topic posting is not allowed. Off-topic posts are not prohibited but should be posted within reason. Excessive off-topic posts that derail a thread may result in the thread being locked.
As it has devolved into trolling and OP-bashing, this thread has run its course. Locked. ISD LackOfFaith Lieutenant Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |
