tl/dr:
1) move moon belts further from the mining structure to increase risk to the miners of this valuable material
2) NO LOGGING by the structure. If you're getting robbed,you figure it out. Don't let the game do it for you.
3) Allow more than 1 structure per moon, spread out the drilling/belt material across all anchored drilling structures so that the total net is still the same. negotiate or blow the competition up if you want a monopoly on the moon. There shouldn't be an advantage for just being the first group to anchor a structure on the prime moons during the first few hours after the expansion.
personal opinion for the good of the game, I think there needs to be more risk, and less corporation/alliance tracking of who mines and what gets mined.
Explain #1)
put the new moon ore field further from the structure, so the structure guns can't cover it. still close enough on grid to see, but the miners should be at some risk without a structure there to protect them. this is the most valuable material to mine, make it risky to do so.
Explain #2)
don't introduce those logging tools, that sounds like someone's idea who wants to retain some control over what comes out of the moon. This is still too close to the existing protected moon mechanic. If a non-corp or enemy ninja miner want to run an op to steal your crap, get your crap organized and have eyes around your system to prevent it. Don't let the structure log what is going on around it and give you that intel for free with no effort. If you're getting robbed, figure it out yourself!
You're blasting huge chunks of moon material into space, what does the structure owner get control over what happens to it? Get further away from "Owning" a moon.
Explain #3)
ALSO,
let there be more than one moon drilling rig/structure per moon. With each additional structure the size of the mined belts becomes smaller,such that the net total material is the same but spread across all the mining structures. If you want a monopoly on your moon, blow the other guys up, or negotiate some terms. One structure per moon is too restrictive and too much like the current broken mechanic. |
