Ellowah
I've been wondering about a way to make mining more "Active" Since there are a lot of mini games slowly making there way into eve I tought why not try this:
Create a new drone called: In Depth Analyses Probe or IDA Probe It takes up 25m-¦ and full bandwith for 1 drone.
When launched it can scan 1 asteroid at a time and provide a 3D image from it. In some cases it can find concentrated pockets of the higher end ore. The probe needs to stay in orbit arround this asteroid to provide an accurate uplink.
If you have mining lasers on this asteroid this is displayed in the 3D model. And you can manually navigate the laser to this pocket.
For mercoxit you could add toxic pockets so it's harder to bring the laser to this spot or explode and cause damage to the IDA probe which has to orbit close.
Could ofc push in some new skills for manual accuracy, probe, mining link etc
Maybe have a small delay to create those oh no no no to far scenario's :p Which is reduced with faction/T2 drones.
And maybe this screen can be the start of the 3D images in the ui of selecting objects. Instead of the flat 2D tiny image in the ui.
Toughts? :)
Kind Regards, LQ |

sounds like an interesting incentive to be a bit more active with mining but are you thinking like null ore or just a higher version of the same rock? like pockets condensed veldspar in a normal veldspar rock? also would this drone provide more extra ore then 5 mining drones? |

Since it's just an idea you can move in a lot of directions.
Atm it was just the normal ore types that you can get extra. So mine a Veldspar rock and probe it to get a chance for Concentrated or Dense Veldspar. The ammount you can get depends on a random start % and how efficient you manually pilot your laser.
Lets assume in the future you can mine moon materials, why not have a new laser with scripts. (Duration, Accuracy, ...) When you activate it the timer starts. The more pockets of the asteroid you can move to and mine determines the outcomme. Instead of a nonstop beam that is just pretty.
One of the original idea's I had was to remove/reduce the 5 & 10% ore's and make them availible this way. But this would prob make a lot of people unhappy :p
Also a "safeguard" against the 7 alt armies going to mine without rly encouriging teamplay.

this might be a great add on for the new drilling platforms since they were thinking of adding even larger rocks to belts that only they could harvest.

What also could be cool is making the belts and asteroids moving instead of a static object in space. Or rotating arround a a massive object.
This might make a nice challenge asswell to keep up or make it harder to manually mine the rock :)

NO.
If you find Mining boring, go do something else.
I'm perfectly happing mining away right now, and I don't find it boring. |

Mining is something you do if you're in a seriously boring mood. Or if you want something kind of passive to do while you and friends plot your takeover of the universe in comms. Mwhahaha! |

The idea is not removing the mining system as it is atm All of the current functionality is still there. But if you do have some time you're basicly doing nothing you can analyse an asteroid in depth to get more additional ore out of it. Or different types.
Since massive ammounts of ore is mined each day changing the entire system is not an option. But it is one of the oldest systems and from the start it hasn't changed or gotten new features tbh. |
