Just wanted to point out that mexallon is apparently still in short supply out in 0.0, despite gneiss receiving a boost of this mineral. It's still having to be imported, so I would suggest boosting the mexallon portion of gneiss some more, even if some of the other minerals from this ore are reduced a little. X |

I'm fairly certain that the shortage is intentional. It's a far cry from the Tritanium bottleneck so i'm not too worried about it. One JF full of mex just as a mineral would be enough to make lots of components ;) |

It is, and that's happening, but I thought the whole idea of the ore change was to make nullsec independent of Jit - I mean, empire Not a huge issue to be sure, just wanted to bring it to the devs attention in case this was not intentional. X |

I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I'm pretty sure the change was to address value issues between ores to make the higher risk ores somewhat higher rewards even if high end mineral prices were low by having them also drop sufficient low end minerals to make them more valuable regardless. Of course, I may have suffered reading comprehension at the time they were explaining the ore changes. |

Quote:Conclusion
These mineral changes CCP released in Odyssey are good, but some problems still persist that need to be fixed like the Mexallon bottleneck and the cluster imbalances and incoherenceGÇÖs.
A final note, the industry index decay rate needs to be changed. CCP needs to slow down the rate of decay to half so people can have a chance to keep the index above level 3 without killing themselves. Unforgiven Storm for CSM 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

There will always be a bottleneck somewhere when you are dealing with multiple resources.

Judging from this post, it is not a huge issue as of now. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

The way you say that leaves room for interpretation. The way I interperate it is "we're not unhappy with what we're seeing, but it wasn't as impactful as we had anticipated.
This is exactly how I feel about it at least. When I saw the changes I almost deficated myself in excitement. But it's been about 6 weeks since the release and prices of the altered minerals haven't changed much. I am still very happy that I don't have to worry about moving extremely large volumes of tritanium and pyreite but by collecting them from the altered ores I am amassing a giant surplus of zydrine and megacyte. This is obviously the overall picture for nullsec mining. Megacyte and zydrine prices are falling and nocxium is skyrocketing. The megacyte I do export is lessvaluable but I also don't have to import any tritanium or pyerite so it sort of balances out to make nullsec mining not as profiable as we'd like but a lot of the tedium has been reduced.
The problem here is that, because of the changes, people are mining ABC and spodumain ore for their tritanium and pyerite when they would have before switched to the low end ore. This means the ratio of megacyte and zydrine collected vs tritanium and pyreite collected is much higher. And the ratio of the demands on the minerals hasn't changed at all (or at least significantly.)
Its just one of those unintended consequences.
I'm sure you guys have some plan to address this, or I might have a few nice ideas If you'd like to hear them. |

This only means there aren't enough miners in null sec, you need to recruit more miners or find corp/alliance dudes to do it with you.
Null minerals got a huge buff lately, no need more buffs to those but instead more people mining them. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

That would require Null-Sec alliances and corps to actually do something other than shoot at each other. :P It is still cost effective to have a High-Sec mining operation and have the ores imported using blockade runners or jump freighters so long as you know what you are doing and don't **** it up. |

Indeed but this is all about player made content, it's their problem if they don't have enough miners and it's all up to them to do what it takes to solve that problem.
CCP recently buffed null sec ores, not a light buff but a huge buff so now what are these tears about? -they want minerals to magically appear in their hangars too? It's a bit like low sec pubbies always crying about little pvp and claiming more rewards when they're clearly the cause of all their problems despite all successive buffs, low sec is still a waste land
So in short, they have the tools up to them to unfuck themselves, get their fingers out of the hole that never sees the sun and do something about ther important issues.

Yes because despite the successive high sec nerfs and hull sec mining buffs moaning idiots remain moaning idiots unable to unfuck themselves. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

Moon goo, access to all mineral types with the best ISK per hour, and ratting that's worth doing is what Null sec has right now. Unless over 80% of all the belts and scan sites are completely mined out of all rocks that have mexallon regularly, the only problem I see is a bunch of whiners who don't want to make use of what they have. Considering that many people complain about space in null being empty and unused, I really doubt that there is no mexallon to mine out there.
If you want to whine about having to import resources, try manufacturing in high sec. T3 materials has to be imported from WH, moon goo has to be imported from low and null, and almost all high ends minerals have to be imported from everywhere else. |

I'm sorry, have you tried opening your eyes?
Have you seen a T2 ship or mod before? How about pirate faction ships/gear? T3's? Guess what - none of those items come from highsec. To build anything T2, you need components built from moon goo. Moon goo which is only available in lowsec or nullsec - you can't mine it in highsec. Aside from frigates and small items, all pirate faction stuff comes from either lowsec or nullsec. Much of the faction gear also comes from lowsec (FW). All components needed for T3's also comes from WH space, aside from the few minerals needed which can come from any sapce. To top it all off, all the higher end ores are only found in WH/null, but are needed just to build T1 ships. Admittedly, much of that can come from reprocessing, but most of it comes from null.
So no, highsec is not independent from low or null. That doesn't mean that people in highsec need to go to low/null, but components for most of the things in industry come from there.

The biggest problem is really the ratio of minerals in Nullsec space. Sure if you have a lot of people mining in null you can flip asteroid clusters consistantly and get those minerals that you need. But to flip a cluster you have to mine out everything including the stuff you Don't need. And what do you do with this excess? Obviously send it to high sec to sell. Of course by doing this constantly the demand for those minerals drops, and with decreased demand comes decreased value. So by having megacyte and zydrine so abundant compared to the rest of the minerals, their value has decreased significantly over time.
As for moon goo and T3 materials. Well look at those and remember how they're obtained. The average null sec dweller or renter alliance is not doing so well compared to their WH counter parts. |

Because highsec has a massive supply of megacyte/zydrine/nocxium and moon goo to support itself with no help from any other space. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012. |

We have gone from a massive bottleneck of tritanium and pyrite, to an much more manageable bottleneck of Mexallon. That is a massive improvement. No more jump freighter loads of 425mm rail guns.
Now if we could just get random gravametric sites returned, Odyssey would be a perfect expansion. |

Having read through the whole thread, I must say that I totally disagree with the whole idea of the changes to the ore compositions for Nulsec. In my opinion CCP completely failed to identify what the actual problem is. It was not insufficient low end ore available to produce low end minerals, it was the simple fact that the people mining in Nulsec choose to cherry pick the high end ores and move on to the next belt or Grav site leaving any low end ore that consider beneath their dignity to mine.
I have mined ore in Hisec, Lowsec, Nulsec, and Wormholes, and have logged on countless times to find that the miners preceding me had cleared the belts of the worthwhile ores and left only low end GÇ£rubbishGÇ¥ for those following, and they had done so in every belt in the system.
The composition of the ores was never the problem; in fact, I strongly believe that CCP could not have gotten this so more wrong if they tried again. On top of this, when CCP change the basic mechanics of one part of eve to favour only one section of the eve universe or one security region, all they do is lose players paying cash in real life to play, not the people who buy PLEX within the game.
There WAS (note the past tense) a whole industry of trade between Nulsec and Hisec exchanging minerals that CCP has impacted upon by pandering to the lazy Nulsec dwellers that control CCPGÇÖs game content direction. They have also removed the fun some people had trying to interdict that trade.
What is most frustrating of all, is that in this same expansion CCP showed that they had already had the answer. In developing the changes to the Ice Mining mechanics CCP created the best possible model for all mining across the Eve universe. What CCP need to do is to change the mechanics of ore mining to that same model.
1.Reduce the size of all ore belts and grav sites;
2.Have the static belts set to re-spawn in their original static location four hours after they are completely mined out;
3.Have new grav sites spawn at random or triggered as their normal mechanic dictates; and
4.Most importantly of all is that CCP make it so that no static ore belt or random site starts its regeneration clock until after it has been completely mined out.
If the lazy miners want to waste two days before they finish mining the low end ores, then they wait two days and four hours for it to re-spawn. If clearing mining belts completely proves there is insufficient low end minerals, add more Veldspar or appropriate ore to the belts, but put the high end ores back to what they were before the changes. If there is to much highend minerals in the market, reduce the numbers of the associated ore.
As is supposed to happen with the availability of Ice product, this model will reduce the global mineral availability and it will allow access to good ore belts for all time zones.
CCP could also either completely redo the mineral contents for all ore types in all regions and security levels to include small traces of all mineral types in every ore typeGÇönot enough to preclude trade between regionsGÇöor have all belts contain a wider range of ores, just very small amounts of non-local variety. (or a mix of both options). |

You say you've mined in Null, but have you mined in a system with enough support to flip Clusters? I am an objective miner, meaning i mine for the minerals i need to build. I find myself constantly looking for low end minerals. If i decide to flip one of the clusters to re-mine the mex i need i find that i end up with an extremely large amount of excess megacyte. There is just not the low end minerals available in null sec compared to the high end minerals.
I do agree that the ice mining mechanic would be great for ABC ore, but i also think that the clusters would be good to keep around with low end minerals. Lacking a bit of mexallon of course. But yes, ABC ores are way too available for cherry pickers to flood the market with. There does still need to be stuff to mine at the end of the day after all, otherwise they'd have to completely revamp the Null Industry system upgrades. |

As I said toward the end of my opinion post, they would have been better to just add more low end roids to the mix, not change the composition of the high end ores.
If there is to much mex, reduce ore types that supply it. |

Oh no, I don't mind importing mex at all. I just want my export of megacyte to be worth the time to mine it is all. I think mega and zydrine are very very much over available thanks to Asteroid Cluster Mechanics. The ratio of mineral use vs the ratio of high ends available in null is very much skewed.
Think about it like this. If you mined out all the asteroid belts in the game, you can keep cycling through the asteroid clusters but you'd never be able to use the up high end minerals. |
