Today i was thinking about how mining could possibly be expanded on within the eve universe.
Comet Mining / Comet Gas Extraction
Add traverling comets through systems - different comets within null, low and high sec. The comets could spawn every 5 hours or so similar to how ice belts spawn.
The extraction process using new drones or equipment with a focus on also maximising gas extration possibly during the passing of a sun, when the comet starts to evolve gasses, a process called outgassing.
Could this be something that could work?
Just an idea |

Not a new nor original idea.
See: "comet mining" and "ring mining"

EDIT: Also there is a forum for this sort of thing: Player Features and Ideas Discussion |

This was actually something that was discussed. Current ice belts are kind of shattered comets. They used to be belts but are now anomalies that have limited reserves. |

Make sure you get enough sleep before opening the Eve forums.
First thought that came to my mind is..."why the hell would you mine in a Federation Navy Comet????"

As others have posted, not a new or original idea. Its something that would be interesting to see sure but what would the new mining consist of and what would the new products produce? If it is not new then it is just another way to acquire XYZ resource and will change the supply/demand curve of XYZ resource and therefore the cost of development would have to be worth just adding a new way of harvesting XYZ instead of rebalancing the resource itself and add significant gameplay other than ooh ahh wow style factors.
So the only way I would want a "new" feature like this is if it is an entirely brand new resource and resource chain or something with the ability to change the existing supply demand curves to be worthwhile and still balanced. Something that would be VERY hard to do with existing manufacturing chains without tossing in a huge monkey wrench. The other thing would be new limited modules or items that require the new resource to make it worthwhile doing.
So.... I would love to know what you would create with this new mining system?
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

I do like the idea of comet mining +1
However, why not just add comets first. As a visual effect. There is no reason not to, other then they may add more processing requirement. Though, I cannot see how another "ship" like object that is only spawned in a few sectors would do much in the way of additional lag. If it was kept to the size of a large ship and under the existing model constraints it could still look really interesting.
There are enough oddly shaped rocks in game that could be grouped together to make it a cool game feature to look at. At least for anyone new to the game it would be interesting. Comet. And could be use for marketing purposes. "Come see the come!"
The flight paths could be fixed to pass close by certain planetoids or stations and if you were there at the right times you could witness the spectacle. |
