Btw, what you should do is make lowsec ore more valuable and leave nullore where it is now. Lowsec is where the real challenge is in mining and according to your mantra of risk vs reward lowsec ore should be carrlying the highest premium in the game.
You do realise there goes a whole lot of groupwork into turning a certain system into *mineable* beforehand?
In highsec, you chose system, travel there with an orca and start huffing rocks. In Lowsec, you can use one of those stations that are in about any system, no effort required.
In sov-null, you got a whole bunch of people conquering the region, building or sorting infrastructure, because of how complex sov-null can be possibly so much more stuff you don't even see on first glimpse, that having more than just the same you could mine in comfort space is all but wrong. The organization that usually goes into nullsec mining should not only be more profitable potentially, but generally. The same way the best refining yield should only be avaiable to those who invest, the same should be the case with rocks themselves.
Currently, afk-mining in total security in highsec can be achieved by choosing a procurer. No one is ever going to bother. In nullsec currently, one of those miners in a wingwarp position atleast has to be watching local, cause if no one notices the neut in local for 15-20 seconds, one of your guys is tackled and a sabre about to land (fyi that's a ship that aoe-scrams your mining fleet, and warpstabs don't work), and if fortune aligns for the ceptor pilot and he got you spotted on the second or third dscan, even that might be to late for atleast one/two of your barges.
The resulting meta-gaming about nullmining in way-back systems and giant bubblebunkers is a ***** solution, but as much as I hate it I see it's useful and legit gameplay. Even here the investments made into securing your mining OP are obviously on a different level than parking your orca on a friendly station. |
