Edited by: Papa Doc on 27/09/2003 16:45:36 i Keep hearing this over and over again but after reviewing and looking at the map closer the regions to get mega from are most blockaded by PC or the region is in state of war between differant corporations. Just how eve was ment to be at the first place. I even screamed darn shortness but now iam looking at it from a differant view. Its just like real live and somethings just don`t come easy.
The game is based on >>>teamplay<<< So create escorted convoys and break thoose darn blockades. Time whit ohters when to go mine in thoose dangerous regions. K ships wil be lost and players podded. But talk to eachother and create a fund in that mining joint venture to replace lost ships and equip.
Just be resourcefull and don`t expect the easy way.
OK thrue some roid tweaking could be still handy i have to admit that to. But looking at the map i see most of the time in the areas that have bistot or ohter ores no players at all cause its blocked by war between corporations or PC blockades
PS. look at our own world with the oil prices and how the jump up and down.
Hmm if this was a double post Still need a search function on this forum

Quote: Actually i think that player owned station and mobile refineries are needed badly.
Its not uncomon to go 30-40 jumps from station to mine few hundreds of bistots and i don't remeber when was last time i saw ark (few months ago).
At least mobile refineries would speed up proces of transporting minerals to stations and cut on this insanity of indy racing.

True its even harder to find arkanor. But have to pointout when thoose mobile refiners come there could be a next problem seeing empty roidfields. Don`t get me wrong her i like to see thoose mobiles but it could happen that after a while we get the same problem again with the more rare ores??
Iam mining deepspace each time i need to get mega. Ok its a slow process but i get the job done and get a view loads using the convoy option (escorted) and alot of searching. Baby roids that part is thrue also i mine 88/100 units from a bis roid then it pops i wait a day and there it is again but only contains bout 14/40 units bis. So i see the problem there. point is i get the bis i need. And iam not in a big corp i only get help from differant players who help running it down for us and i do it visaversa for them. Also thrue we can never compete with the mega corporations in the game but i never saw that as a issue thats how things are in the game and also in the real world. Point is i have fun playing.

Quote: I agree with Papa Doc here - unless the underlying respawn problems are solved, mobrefs are only a temporary band-aid.
Thx for the support there i have forgot to point out that the mobile refineries only do a surtian % of what you could refine in a station. So do the math what would happen at this stage inspace to roid fields. They where never ment to give the full 100% yield from what you would get in stations.

Quote: Has anyone in here read either of the past two CSM chats? When the moboref's come in to the game the roid respawn issue will be fixed, also the belts are getting a re-vamp and new shapes and types of belt are getting introduced. Yes if the moboref's were in now, we would have problems with empty belts, but come on, read the CSM chats.
I'm glad that there is a shortage of mega, and as for finding Ark whoever does with the current roid respawn logic will be a very rich person, just think of the size of that roid, never been touched since day 1, growning at, maybe, an exponetal rate since the first dat of retail... how much ark would it contain? almost unlimited amounts, and TomB said that in the CSM chat 2 weeks ago!!!!... I might pester TomB for a count on how many ark roids are in the game at this weeks csm chat :)
Seems it drifted of a bit ooh wel. The Mobile refiners are set at 7,8/100% of what you would get in a station. So what lot are gonna do Deepspace is setup the refiner and just take the loss on that % And keep mining untill they have the same ammount what they would get normaly faster in stations but still saving time doing it inspace. Cause you don`t have to travel back with ores.
I did`t see that in the CSM chatlog or maybee i missed it. If they calculated that in and i did`t see it in the chat ok then its gonna be cool with me. But if not   wel do the math.
They have to look at so many issues that little details get forgotten sometimes(we seen it before). Hehehe guess we are to spoiled  
This started as a call for better teaming in the game but turned out to be a nice read. Hmm maybee i shoud ask a forum Mod to change the title of the ........
