Harm Gently Gallente Naughty 40 The UnAssociated	Posted - 2007.02.16 13:29:00 - [3] Did it occur to you that the new regions might not be meant to be the 'new mecca' for miners? If it was supposed to be just that I must have missed the official statement from ccp. In that case, my apologies, send a bug report or petition it.

Afaik you can mine all you want out there. Question is if CCP intended it to be equal, better or worse compared to the old regions.

Niedar Rampage Eternal Ka-Tet	Posted - 2007.02.16 13:54:00 - [7] Originally by: hotgirl933 bug report Thats been done by to many people to count on my own hands, we have asked for a fix or clarification of intended game mechanics in multiple threads and multiple bug reports but CCP have so far ignored us.
Emily Spankratchet Minmatar Pragmatics	Posted - 2007.02.16 14:28:00 - [8] Doesn't everyone just mine the drones in the new regions? I've heard they refine quite nicely.
bulabuba Gallente Klima Galactic	Posted - 2007.02.17 04:07:00 - [9] Edited by: bulabuba on 17/02/2007 04:04:49 The drones are in fact a decent source of mins (with the exception of veld). However, they don't have bounties and they don't drop loot. If the 'roids are intentionally gimped because of the mins that the drones drop, the new regions are economically far poorer than the rest of the 0.0 regions, because they effectively only have one base resource upon which to build an economy, where the other regions have two. If that's intentional, it probably should have been made clear in a dev. blog or something similar before people committed to settling out there. ----------------------------------------------- Are GoonSwarm ever going to be allowed to build up in any way in 0.0 space again?

Zotigh Caldari Luna Rossa Corporation The Guardian Coalition	Posted - 2007.02.17 04:23:00 - [10] Not only do the new drone regions not give bounty or drop loot, but you also do not gain faction standing from the kills. So, no chance of getting the uber-nice officer gear loot and not even a biscuit of a bounty or security status gain for the kill. The new drone regions are basically the 'ghetto' of the 0.0 regions. Poor mining. Fewer systems per region. Low-reward NPC's. Yet, still...in comparison to low-sec, they are better.

Low-reward NPC's. Yet, still...in comparison to low-sec, they are better. Oh, they're better than a lot of 0.0 too. We have a large POS out there, and we're happily making a go of it, though certainly not as lucrative as other places we might be. It's the people. There's a lot less of the asshattery and e-peen strutting out there than you find in other places you might settle. A little piece of 0.0 that nobody else is all that keen to fight over is just fine with me. ----------------------------------------------- Are GoonSwarm ever going to be allowed to build up in any way in 0.0 space again?

Dao 2 The Scope	Posted - 2007.02.17 04:31:00 - [12] Originally by: Harm Gently Did it occur to you that the new regions might not be meant to be the 'new mecca' for miners? If it was supposed to be just that I must have missed the official statement from ccp. In that case, my apologies, send a bug report or petition it. no its broken, the devs know about it and said there was a problem with the respawn. This was a long time ago close to when they got released, why none more has been done to fix it or been said about it I can only guess at. (omg you can finnaly mine with missiles) ------------------------------------------------ NEWLY ADDED ON 1/19 (though applies to all posts before ;p) the usual "I don't represent my corp or alliance" and stuffs like that Also the gal
James Duar Merch Industrial We Are Nice Guys	Posted - 2007.02.17 04:42:00 - [13] They're the drone regions, and like everything drone-related wouldn't be complete without being permanently broken in some way.
Raven Hyperbollic Paradox v2.0 Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2007.02.17 11:02:00 - [14] Well, I don't know about you guys but I do well isk wise up in drone land. If you look hard enough with scanners you'll also find things like hidden bistot belts if minings your thing. Bugs I find are the bugged drone rats what mwd away from you in certain belts. or belts what are not belts at all but a bit of nothing (unless that was intended) What I've seen of 'hidden' complexes up in droneland is not very good. No big reward and drones in the belts are better isk. But saying all that. I've made more isk in droneland than anywhere else I've ever been. the isk to time ratting is great. It's better than curse, omist, wicked creek (.4's almost better then wc)and even places like the gurista's unless you happen to find ubber officer spawns. I am now a confirmed multi-billionarre. I couldn't really say that anywhere else!
Hoshino Minmatar Eye of God X-PACT	Posted - 2007.02.17 11:13:00 - [15] Its simple realy from my perspectiv, our industrial side has nothing to do out there. A covertor will strip a belt in 30 min cause most rocks dont last 1 cykle. And the worst part is that belts got realy nice rocks that cant b mined so compared with any othere 00 region the drone space is realy bugged and needs fixing.

Like i said try searching for hidden belts you never know.
Fogy Caldari Warspite Developments	Posted - 2007.02.17 12:15:00 - [17] The problem in the drone region compared to other regions is the lack of lov end minneral refines from the loot you gett over here. In every other region you can refine all the ****t loot you gett into nice amounghts of trit, pyer, iso, nocx, mex, zyd, mega etc.. often lacking abit of 1 of the higher end minnerals.. Out here, you gett high amounghts of nocx, zyd and mega + some morph.. but werry little trit and other lov end minnerals.. so you eighter have to mine or haul/jump lover end minnerals up. If you mine out the belts, and they dont respawn at a normal rate. you quickly run into problems keeping people in shipps. You can also have a look at the zydrine price in empire to se how unbalansed the new region is when comming to minneral's.. And it's not the mining thats causing this.. its the drone alloy refine. Cheers! Fogy I nerfed my siggie.. :( "From my rotting boddy flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity"

And it's not the mining thats causing this.. its the drone alloy refine. Cheers! Fogy My experience is a little different. I'm getting plenty of pye, iso, mex, and nocx from drone refines. The only thing really missing is trit. Yes, I think that the alloys are overbalanced toward zyd. They should have good quantities of zyd and mega (especially if there aren't any high end ores to mine) or the new regions would be really really poor, but it should be more balanced between the two. The real thing that needs to get added is a good source of trit. Whether that's hauler spawns or just high-quanitity veldspar 'roids, something needs to be done. The main reason for the zyd crash in empire is partly do to the alloys producing too much zyd, but it's also because with so little trit available in the new regions, you can't build with it, so it all hits the empire market. ----------------------------------------------- Are GoonSwarm ever going to be allowed to build up in any way in 0.0 space again?

Cheers! Fogy I think CCP intended people who live in the drone areas to deal and trade with other factions/alliances in other regions who are short of high ends but have a whole load of low ends. (Hualer spawns anyone?) If alliances did that. then production would be awsome. Not sure how many alliances up in droneland are actully doing that though?
