As the comet wanders around the Universe the inhabitants would periodically leave the safety of the comet to raid the solar systems that the comet is passing through using advanced cloaking devices to avoid detection except for when they are attacking.
2. A comet passing through a solar system would be similar to an Incursion event where the markets would be affected until the comet has been completely mined or leaves the system.
3. During the time that the comet is present in a system its inhabitants would periodically raid the belts forcing the local NPC rats to leave.
4. For high sector 1.0 - .5 the largest type of ship encountered would be a single battleship escorted by three cruisers and five frigates. The farther that you travel into security space would determine how many of the belts would be affected the comet inhabitants if there are any to begin with.
5. New types of mining lasers would also have to be develop that could penetrate the comet to the layer that the pilot wanted to mine. The same with drones.
6. Another idea could be to develop Cometary Interaction where the pilot would deploy comet command bases to then extract the ore, minerals, ice and gas that would be present.
1. How the hell do you figure that a freaking comet would be habitable?
2. Explain why the presence of a comet should effect the market in any way other than an increase in buy/sell orders for resources yielded by the comet.
3. What makes you think it would be a good idea to have NPCs mining asteroid belts?
4. Hisec is short for f***ing "high security", not "high sector". I see you get that **** twisted all the time and it's irritating.
5. I think the OP was proposing that miners will need to deplete the resources on the outer surface before being able to mine the resources contained in the inner layers. I could be wrong about this, though. OP would need to clarify.
6. Why the hell would I want to spend ISK on deploying a command base on a comet that is going to eventually be leaving the system with my command base if I can just mine the f***er.
+1 to OP. It would be really cool to see, and I might would actually get into mining for comet mining. I like the idea of adding a type of mining that actually requires the player to be attentive. Something that requires a little bit of actual skill, rather than just chillin', pointing a high-tech flashlight at some rocks.
-1 to Dryson.
The deer can get it right. What's YOUR problem?
