I would like to see a change in the way asteroids are a more realistic change. Instead of having kinds of asteroids have just asteroids with different ores inside them. For example go to a belt in 1.0 and you'll find large asteroids filled with veld scord plagi and pyro, but you wont know whats in each asteroid unless you have a scanner. The lower sec systems will get more ammounts of rarer ores like omber kernite and smaller ammounts of the basic stuff like veld and scord beacause face it nobody goes to 0.0 to mine veld.
This will keep people from mining off just the stuff they want and letting the other stuff grow uncontrollable. But for instance you cant mine out rare ore without good mining lasers like M2 beacause the ores are too hard to mine with basic equipment(exp trying to mine for diamonds with a shovel) This will lead to pure rocks left over of rare ores that will eventually get picked clean and it will respawn again like it started out as.
This principle is similar to Deep core mining on a universal scale. Think about it mining right now is too boring this will spice it up a bit more.

Thx for the replies I knew people would like this idea. Hopefully ccp sees it and likes it also. As for people complaining people will complain no matter what :) I like strip mining but its a bore. And if you just wanted to mine lower grade ore like veld and scord out of an asteroid just equip miner 1 :). I like that idea of chunks splitting off, but I doont think they should be pure ore of one type but they should have very little ore of the more common type. Another small feature i would like to see is ore sizes refreshing themselves say every 5 to 10 minutes when being mined on. So come on CCP have a look :)

Jack that is what im talking about diffrent ores in one asteroid. As for mining the low end ores first it would depend on the types of mining equipment you have. Like the description on them says (miner1 good for extracting common ore but not much else) and then you get the better ones that extact a larger ammount of rarer ores while still pulling in some of the common ore. This would make all mining lasers worth more money again. since people would need low end and high end to mine what they wanted. say you only need veld and scordite you equip a few miner 1 and youll get 90% or something like that veld and scordite. The percentage will have to be determined by ore volume though. As for ppl nitpicking asteroids it will be nearly impossible to get all the good ore unless you drain the who asteroid.

Yea they are hazards big time as is the completely drained asteroid belts in eve. Hopefully this idea can fix both problems.

I dont know about you guys but im completely disapointed in how they "dispersed" the asteroids in the T2 patch. I mean I havent seen any pyro where I mine or in surrounding areas. I know its in a diffrent region though as my friend told me about it. I mean why remove one asteroid completely from an area is beyond me. hopefully they fix it soon this is getting rediculous.

They havent fixed it and I hear rumors of them flip floping the ores that are in one place to the places where the ores arent. This would be the dumbest plan yet. Pleace CCP think before you do another damaging change to mining.
