Recently I've been noticing that Kernite in the two systems I mine in Genesis has not been re-spawning. Now I'm hearing on the empire chat channels that Omber seems to be suffering the same fate up near Aidart in Verge Vendor, along with some Minmatar systems. We're mostly noticing it in .7 sytems. Has there been a change to isogen-producing ore that I missed in the patch notes, or perhaps an unanounced change with the last patch?

Are you sure it's not respawning, or is it possible that people are mining it all up? I once found a .7 system that seemed to have no Omber for several days, then jumped into it after downtime to find someone agressively stripping the belts of Omber.

Yeah, we thought of that, but with the holiday this weekend we've been online within 2 hours of downtime every day. We also thought of macro mining, but with the chatter in the empire channels of it being rather widespread we've thought that unlikely. |

Look at isogen and mexallon prices down there, I think you have a macro miner on your hands.

Omber in metropolis is going good.. Mine it every day.. and it spawns ever tuesday and thursday..
Try coming on STRAIT after DT on tuesday or thursday. itll be there.
Beat the Macro-ers.. learn how the stuff spawns.... and exercise the occasional kestral as a deterant (and petitioning.. if that doesnt work. Thieve thier ore Eris Discordia - Greek Goddess of Chaos and Discord |

It wouldn't take much to strip a 1-spawn amount of omber from an entire system in under 2 hours. You really need to be there literally the minute the servers come back up to catch these guys.

This guy thinks it's related to being higher sec, and therefore taking longer to respawn. Unfortunately he hit "new topic" instead of "reply"

.7 systems are always slow to spawn new Omber/Kernite, and when they do it is in tiny quantities.
I have mined out belts in a 0.7 in about 30 minutes before. The roids are just tiny.
You find the odd one which hasnt been touched for a while, but quite honestly I just mine in a quiet lowsec these days, even if its just for Kernite.

Normally I'd agree, but these are systems which used to be quite plentiful. I logged on this morning right after downtime to find it respawned, a total of 6 rocks in 7 belts. That is WAY below normal for this area. There's been a change in recent weeks, I'm just trying to figure out why.

You know, you might have something here.
Recently I've done nothing but lowsec mining in Amarr space, because I simply could not find reasonable amounts of Kernite in any of the 0.6/0.5 systems - even the traditionally empty ones. After two hours scouting in a shuttle, I gave up and moved to lowsec.
It does appear to be taking longer to respawn. I'm really not sure why, but its probably a good thing. At least it provides a good reason to mine in 0.4/0.3, given that Jaspet is worth less than Kernite/Omber anyway.

I've noticed this too, atier (0.6) in sinq where I sometimes mine has no omber at all anymore, and I scanned every field. I find it unlickly that someone has managed to strip all 14 or so belts in the 30mins after downtime that I looked and the map said that i was the only person to be in the system in the last 30 mins.
I've noticed the nearby 0.4 has lost all its jaspet to be replaced by 1 or 2 omber rocks a field.
Small DB bug maybe thats stopping these types respawning?
