Ok, I would normally ignore this kind of post, but... well I am bored at the moment and so...
1. Mining is Null = safer than HS - Big Alliance = big bunch of meanie ships kill you if you bother their pet-miners and disturb their inner workings...Don't believe me, go try some ganking in Null on miners and see what happens.
2. CCP keeps trying to move people to Low-Sec, not Null... three are plenty of people in null, it's called sov... people in the group of sov. holders = they do everything there, people not in that group = targets for them...
Low sec is where CCP needs to work on getting a population... to some degree FW has put people there, but for the most part Low Sec = not enough reward for the risk... why?
Because flying a ship with hardly any defensive ability (drones), and no offensive ability what so ever, that has to sit for great lengths of time in one spot to do it's role and be effective = NOT FUN TO PLAY AT ALL... and double so WHEN YOU ARE BLOWN UP... so no one is going to do that... if in doubt of this, please take your exhumer or orca, and go sit in a low-sec belt (or Null if you feel low isn't the OP's point) and try it... when you get blown up... say to yourself... "Now that was fun wasn't it? I am feeling the fun now right?
What will happen is if and when any changes in HS mining impact HS miners they will simply find other things to do, the amount of miners that quit the field then = market adjustment in supply = market will stabilize in that direction until it evens out... but this will never cause people to move from HS to other for mining...
What would?
Ships that can fight while mining... might. Ships that can get away from the fight if they can't fight... not die in place and ruin any hope of being profitable Throw-away ships... meh, barges... I suppose Team work with mining fleets with guards... LMAO, never happen in reality...next.
Personally I am looking at Exploration as an option should I again drop mining, last time I dropped belt mining, I simply did mining missions (L4s) for almost a year and farmed +5 implants for resale... but move to low or null... nope not going to happen... not unless there was a whole new line of ships, and it was FUN to actually risk it... atm it's not and so it is what it is. Look at all the Macks in local...impressive...very impressive...I see you have fashioned a new exhumer...much like you father's...your skills as a miner are now complete...indeed you are powerful as CCP Devs have foreseen. |
