Didn't see that nerf coming - oh wait, who am I kidding.
If you want to make the mineral market healthier, have a look at the ore composition in nullsec ore anoms vs mineral usage. Mexallon is a bottleneck, while some other minerals are basically waste material at this point.
PANIC mod - good change. |

Instead we're force fed a mind numbing solution to a problem of I don't know what. We want more tools for self reliance and generating conflict, not more agonizing tedium.
What actually is the design problem these changes are meant to resolve?
CCP isn't interested in solutions to a problem. At this point i just think they design their game drunk. If the problem with rorquals is the amount that is mined, just time ore anomalies the same as ice belts so you can't infinite mine them. If PANIC tackling things is the problem, change it to you can't use EWAR when you are in PANIC and you can't activate PANIC when ewar modules are active.. There are so many more elegant design solutions than what CCP wants with this, it's painful to see them blundering along.
There is long and proud history of drunken half-assed code originating on Iceland. See: most of EVE's older codebase. |

While I appreciate the attempt, I believe it may be a bit late for that: Trit: https://i.imgur.com/FfWruzm.png Pyrite: https://i.imgur.com/def1XnE.png Nox: https://i.imgur.com/l3JzYPr.png Hel build cost: https://i.imgur.com/d2aupwN.png This has created a huge increase in super production. What are your thoughts on the massively accelerated super/titan proliferation? Do you have any plans to address this, seemingly inevitable (now that sp is easily bought and available characters for sale are no longer a limitation) problem of proliferation going forward? Or will we inevitably move to the situation where faction supers are standard fare, much like with subcaps?
Look at the whole mineral basket, not just Trit, Pye and Nox. You might be enlightened.
Tip: Trit, Pye and Nocx are being over-mined to cover a shortfall of Mex from nullsec ore anoms. |

WOW Such timing.. because its not already lost 50% of its value.. and I doubt it will be enough "fixing" to save the patient..
but +1 for well some sort of "effort"..
Pro tip.. Get some RAW material sinks in there asap.. the eco system is becoming stupid.. and the busy bees in Delve will just make this a LOT worse..
It's not like Delve is the only region with heavy Rorqual usage, and the MER never showed drone mining amounts because CCP are bad at data gathering and presentation.
Pro tip: look at the mineral output of ore anoms and you will know why some minerals are dropping hard while others are not. |

When the rock is exhausted, they warp to a perch, then to another rock. Does CCP have metrics stating that a significant number of folks have mining patterns contrary to this?
You think they base their decisions on actual actionable data? Not sure if trolling or na+»ve.
If they actually looked at the data, they would see stuff like the mineral basket causing a surplus of some minerals and the lack of large-scale conflict because the current meta does not promote it. |
