Been scouting for a site to build a pos in a couple of months. Hoping to stay as close to Empire as possible, as striking off into 0.0 is pretty much suicide for a small corp. Problem is, not finding a #!@$ thing worth digging up without a pos already there. Been through about 8 systems so far with nothing to show but a big bill for probes. Am I looking in the wrong places? Been scouting .3 and .2 space.
On a whim surveyd a .4 system, and it had valuable resources all over the place. *puts on my flame suit* Soo... if concord doesn't respond in 0.4, and pos are okay there, why can't people set up moon mining there? It's the same as .3 space just moons are still actually available there.

I'm pretty sure you can't mine moons in empire space (0.4 and up). They added the ability to build the POS's there, with faction standing, and charters, but they didn't enable moon mining.

From what I've heard moon mineral distribution is completely random and not dependent on system sec status.
Needless to say, this means that the good moon minerals in 0.1-0.3 are most likely going to be claimed, since there's higher demand (higher sec) and the same supply.
You may need to try some "border" 0.0 systems, or possibly 0.3 and below that's relatively deep into lowsec space (like Aridia, for example)
In short, the likelihood of finding a good moon increases with the riskiness of getting to that moon. ------------ Ezra Cornell pe0n, Xanadu Corporation |

The control towers and moon miners work based off real sec is my understanding.
So you may find a great moon to mine in a .4 but if its real sec is .39 then you MAY be able to moon mine it. I can't garuntee it since I've never had the opportunity (nor the inclination to test it) --------------

I'm sure you've noticed how much of a pain it is probing all the moons in one system.
Suffice to say that you'll struggle to find ANY low sec system that has not already had every single moon probed by someone else looking for exactly the same things you are. So the best moons will likely already have POSs on them. Best way to get one of them is to blow up an existing POS and put your own down. Of course, that carries it's own risks......
As someone already mentioned about 0.4 systems, moon mining ain't allowed there by design.

Dunno, distribution isn't ransom. Surveyed one system in Period Basis, two neodymium moons, one mercury moon, and a whole crap load of lesser valuable metals. Surveyed the systems around it, crap, crap, crap, crap =]

I agree with this, I dont see how the moons are considered a random chance; moon materials seem to regional like ores - for instance you'll get loads of Mercury down south, but good luck finding it on the northen end of the map.

your understanding is wrong it goes by status display'd in the top left corner

My advice? Dont mine. Its highly overrated and hard as crap to locate somethign worth it.
There once was an old Kangaroo, Who's Tail had been painted bright blue. "Now why", said his friend, "Did they paint just one end? When his face realy needed it too". |

Are you 100% sure about that and can confirm from a test?
Did you check the systems REAL sec status was below .4 or above?
Did you just anchor it at a moon with no mineral and tried activating? --------------

yes.. I tested it had a dev tell me that it doesnt matter what the export sheet says, because the pos's go by what the rounded number is.
