Dentra Interis	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:56:00 - [1] I've only had a subscription for 3 days now, and in my 8 month absence, I've noticed something: It has become IMPOSSIBLE to find decent ore anymore! I have gone through countless systems, ALL of them strip mined. What's left for everyone else? Scordite and Veld! It's gotten so bad, the game isn't fun. Don't even think about telling me something around the lines of "lol get over it." No, I want something done! It's unfair and removes any aspect of variety to the game. All I see anymore are dead asteroid belts and half a million yellow diamonds! If those containers weren't secure, let's just say I'd have a security level below 5 by now. On a side note it's also INCREDIBLY annoying that people are using containers as ADS. That's just over the top folks. If you want to advertise, there's the god damn CHAT CHANNELS for that! Okay, so now you've come to the conclusion that I'm a lunatic. That's not far from the truth, and I've got plenty of reasons why.
Baleorg Gallente Guys of Sarcasm	Posted - 2006.10.12 06:59:00 - [2] ÷÷hh. ttried lower sec systems yet? 0.9 and 0.8 usually dont have anythign besides scordite,veldspar .p i have no trouble stripmining days for omber,jaspet,plag,hemorphite. perhaps you do something wrong :-P --- BTW: A GOOD Cache-Cleaner
Rick Dentill Lynx Frontier Inc. Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:09:00 - [3] There are 5000 systems in EVE and most of them are packed to bursting with roids. Many people tend to localise around the starter systems so around here you will find belts vanish quickly. _______ http://x-universe.kiwi.nu/page.php?id=dd
Telemicus Thrace Thrace Inc Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:14:00 - [4] Welcome to the start of one of the most exciting chapters in Eve. The population has increased to the point that the core systems are running out of resources. Yes maro miners are a part of that but the truth is they only sped up the process. Now honest folk have to brave the frontier to get the good ore. Time to head for the Dakota foothills and pan for gold but be warned there be injuns in them hills. Well, either that or stake out a claim on a high sec system and war dec anyone who takes your ore. >> RECRUITING <<
Orri Sarikusa	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:22:00 - [5] Welcome to pre-Castor EVE. there used to be a bug with roid respawn and it had to be done maunally, as you can imagine they didn't get spawned often. Entire regions had nothing but pebbles. I'm hoping that CCP have done this on purpose in an efffort to move the population or cause wars and not accidentally reintroduced the bug. --- How to avoid a ban.

mazzilliu Caldari Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:34:00 - [6] you have to go to lowsec and deep into 0.0 for decent ore. quality of ore is based on security status of the system, omber and kernite exists in .5 -.7 systems but that is the highest value ore you will ever find in empire. ore distribution is also 0.0 have ark and mercoxit and such I'M IN YOUR SYSTEMS. I'M KILLING YOUR MANS!!!
evistin Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:42:00 - [7] Dentra, I do not know where you are in the eve world, but you can find plenty of ore around and it does not have to be low-sec. Call up the Map, and search for number of players in the last 30 mins, and overlap that with the security status of the systems. YOu can find systems often filled with omber and other 0.5 minerals. ----------- Management and Leadership û The Eve-online Guide
Xito	Posted - 2006.10.12 07:57:00 - [8] There is alot of ore to be found in empire ( .5 and above ) But most people only tend to go where stations are presented. Yet if you go with a group to systems with no stations at all you will be in ore heaven since almost nobody goes mining there. So take this opportunity start a corp and setup a 1 jump away hauling.
Elgar Lightfoot Lightfoot Industries	Posted - 2006.10.12 08:06:00 - [9] I agree with the OP. If you want Omber or Kernite you have to get to the roid field within the 5 hours after the servers come back up. If you can't get there within that time then you'll be lucky to find a couple of rocks left. It needs a fix as the server is up for 23 hours a day, not 5. Myself I can get there straight after DT, but I know a lot of players who can't. They are forced to mine Scord, Plag and Veld.
Jan Riksma Dark Reality	Posted - 2006.10.12 08:10:00 - [10] Come to domain region. Arround mamenkhanar there are plenty of systems with kernite in it and not too over crowded. Cheers, Jan

On a side note it's also INCREDIBLY annoying that people are using containers as ADS. That's just over the top folks. If you want to advertise, there's the god damn CHAT CHANNELS for that! As others player have pointed to you, there is plenty of minerals availables, even in high security, unless you are playing only satuarday and sunday. Respawn is every 3-4 days . For the can thing: ever tried using the recruit channel? It is full of macros and almost devoid of unaffiliated players. On most of the others channels recruiting isn't allowed. So best option are the advertising cans: they target the zone vere you are active or were you want to recruit and while they spam a little the systems they don't make them unusable like the recruiting channel. A good option could be a regional or multi regional recruit channel, so that if I am recruiting in Sinq Laison I am not bothering unaffiliate people and corporation recruiting in Amarr.

Luke Pubcrawler	Posted - 2006.10.12 09:58:00 - [13] Decent roids can be found if you are willing to go down to about .7 or .6. You need to work in these so you can anchor a can anyway (dont complain if you jetcan mine and get robbed.) I do agree about advertising cans and in fact about cans in general. There just has to be a way to clean these up. Half the corps with advertising cans no longer exist anyway. As for unuse mining cans 0- I was in Ammold and Lustrevik the other day and some of the belts in that area look like they have a terminal case of yellow measles, if there had been a single roid bigger than gravel I would nt have been able to see it for three million yellow diamonds cluttering my screen.
Wild Rho Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2006.10.12 10:05:00 - [14] Ther are plenty of systems with plenty of good ore. The simple fact is you need to go to where it is, not expect it to be brought to you. Agree on the container spam though. CCP said the cans were all going to be removed from high sec space after a grace time, but that was years ago now. I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.

Okay, so now you've come to the conclusion that I'm a lunatic. That's not far from the truth, and I've got plenty of reasons why. no response from original poster and no consideration to joining a low sec mining outfit or 0.0 alliance as a miner ah well guess his rant is finished and he has gone on anotehr 8 month hiaitus can we have youre stuff
Anew Incarnate	Posted - 2006.10.12 11:47:00 - [16] I do understand where the original poster is coming from. However, I would have to say the following: 1. Get off the High Traffic Trade rout. Yes, you are going to make less ISK than others doing this, but at least you can make ISK. The Original Poster does have a valid point however. The amount of Macro-Miningà.. Has gotten out of control, mostly in and around starter systems or high end areas which CCP seems to be ignoring. I mine myself in my little Ore Barge [and no I donÆt macro, its all me baby]. I only have one account, which means I either have to make multiple runs back or change ships to haul. Within just this last week I have been push, harassed and chased out of systems after system by Groups of what seems organized mining operations evolving 5-55 mining barges, and countless Haulers. (non of which is in a Player Corp). Now overall, I cannot see anything too wrong with this type of action. After all, if they have the people, and organization, to do this. While we, the multitude of other players are too busy trying to gank one another at a gate, steel from one another, and are unconcerned with one another while they do this. Its no ones fault but our own really. Maybe once CCP changes the Gang rules things might be a little different. Cross your fingers. The type of action I described above is a really good incentive to join a player Corpà However, its just as bad if not worse when you do, as war is declared on you by some nubbin who has saved up enough money to start his own Corp. I still think Player Corps are the way to go, but unless they are large with lots of players on all the time you are pretty much just a target nowadays for the above described actions. As far as the original posterà.. Your just going to have to get used to it, and adapt, and adjust to it. Yes, this means your going to make a lot less ISK than other, but there is really nothing you, or any individual, or even small Corp can do about it.

Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries	Posted - 2006.10.12 12:38:00 - [19] Part of the skill of being a good miner is being a good ore-scout, too. If you want to be a successful miner, you need to learn to explore and locate those jucy ore pockets, not just expect there to alway be a plentiful supply of omber sat, infinitely respawning, in Jita. Some people might remember the days when real money could be made as an ore locater; I can't, it was before my time, but I've been told
